Great, Seattle being Seattle helped Primetime hit his overall point projections. GREAT...
Now I actually have to rely on LDT to give me some points.

So much rage this week.
Fuck the Chiefs for getting absolutely steamrolled. Fuck Dwayne Bowe. Charles did alright, but fuck him, that's shit for a first rounder. Fuck Cleveland for giving up 27 points to the Bungles. Fuck Rapistberger, fuck Matt Ryan, and fuck the NYG defense for getting shredded by Sexy Rexy.

You could have used a better kicker today but at least it won't impact the win. Your team came through strong for you in Week 1. Nicely done.rinker said:Gould is Frank's MVP of course...
Shame there's absolute trash on the waiver wire for those of us who lost. I don't want any of that junk. Perhaps someone will emerge in tomorrow night's games.
On the bright side, my Boom or Bust strategy in the Economy league went BOOM today.

New piece on Yahoo NFL FF, Scouting Notebook by Michael Salfino. Fantastic read for getting research notes on players/trends/getting advice.

Damn Cloudy. I could have come back but Tolbert had to lead the league in RB scoring this week. Before getting injured.
On the plus side, Tate worked out and Foster should be back shortly. MSW can rest while Meachem comes in to pick up Colston's slack.
Pretty similar for me. Down by about that much, but with Brady, Lloyd, Janikowski and Pats D vs. Orton.

I thought I was going to steamroll the Klams in the No Quitters league, but then Vernon Davis didn't do shit, and neither did my RBs. I only win this if Jacoby Ford outscores Brandon Marshall by 4 1/2 points.
In the Economy League, I've got about a one point lead, but I need Darren McFadden to outscore Ochocinco and No-Show combined.
So I'm probably looking at going 0-2 in GAF leagues.
The auction league is absolutely retarded. There's no fractional scoring, and a bunch of my guys put x9 yards in some category. I posted a note asking the commish to turn it on for next week, and all I got was a reply from some pissant saying "Nope."
What complete horseshit. A team could score more points even though it put up fewer overall yards if fractional scoring isn't turned on. Whoever posted "Nope" like a little dickhead can go get fucked.

Did they change the rules after you signed up? If so yeah, quit. If you change the rules midseason without a vote, may as well gtfo before it explodes. But if it was there beforehand, well, you should play on.
In chuckddd's auction league right now, there's another insane rule - no sunday-tuesday waivers. FAAB is effectively useless. I've asked for a switch, but I'll play ball. It may be completely stupid to run leagues that way but if I stared at the fine print closely enough I would have noticed.
I asked them to change it for next week. I didn't realize fractional scoring was turned off when I joined it.
I don't see how it's an unreasonable change to make post-draft. It's not like anyone's strategy would depend on something like that. "Fuck you, I drafted Cedric Benson because he always knows how many yards he's at. If he's about to hit 79 yards on the ground, he ALWAYS dives to get to 80!"

They were right about Chris Johnson somehow (I have him in one league). I was laughing at yahoo projecting him to score like 6 points. Little did I know their projection was actually on the high side. 
I need the Raiders to run up the score with McFadden and Ford both putting up some points if I'm to have any hope of not starting out my fantasy football season 0-5.

Yeah, I know. They use statistical averaging over the entire season which can't really account for week-to-week fluctuations based on opponent, injury, venue, etc. Still, it can be a somewhat reasonable estimate. The problem is those weeks when one or two of your opponent's players have a fluke game. I also realize it works both ways. I had a fantasy game years ago which I should have lost but one of my players score five touchdowns (!) in a single game. Boy was my opponent pissed.

First week Yahoo projections tend to be very off... after all roles aren't set in stone and players may be in preseason mode still. The lockout didn't help matters as it'll take teams longer to shake out the cobwebs.

Was up by 51 in my league, and then Welker/Hernandez put me down by 2. No players left. Oh how the tides turn.

Ubertag won't win. Benching Gronk for a sleeper TE hurt him.rinker said:

I feel like I beat cloudy in spirit thanks to tonight's games. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I own Brady and McFadden in my keeper league.

Goddamn Run DMC. I am a believer now...
but then again I'm also a believer in White Vick.

What's the worst draft you guys have ever had?
For me it was one of my leagues last year. $100 buy-in. I decided to stock up at RB, get a bottom of the 1st tier TE, then take a QB late.
1st - Andre Johnson. Good pick.
2nd - Ryan Mathews. Horrible pick. The next RB on my depth chart was Arian Foster.
3rd - Roddy White. My last good pick.
4th - Pierre Thomas. I thought he was going to do big things. Haha. He was a game-time decision for like a month, then sat out another month, then sucked when he came back.
5th - Jonathan Stewart. I had him pegged for 1000 yards and 8-10 TDs. I still curse his name.
6th - Brent Celek. Had him as the #5 TE on the board. I think he finished as the #20-something TE. His picture causes me to fly into a rage.
7th - Jay Cutler. He was good for two weeks.
8th - Tim Hightower. He was also good for two weeks.
I started out 2-0, then my RBs completely fell apart, and Cutler started sucking. I still managed to finish 4th in that league by killing it on the waiver wire, but damn, that was one complete failure of a draft.
