The Head Ache thread

I missed the first few rounds of the draft for one of my public leagues and I ended up with Shonn Greene and Ryan Matthews... two of the biggest busts i've ever had and both on one team.

I've just been picking up scrap RBs from the FA pool and luckily the scrubs i pick up tend to do well. Had Blount last week and he ended up with a big game.

Randy Moss...hopefully the 3rd team is the charm

I have Collie, Addai, Gates, and DeAngelo on my team. I can't complain about those guys too much given that they've been lights on out the field (not including DW) but the injuries have been frustrating to say the least and I'd probably be 7-1 if they had all been able to stay healthy the last few weeks.

Completely off topic but the Carolina O-line is lucky the Chicago line has been such an embarrassment because these guys' are almost as big a joke and no one really talks about it.

Owen Daniels. Picked him up in 2 leagues (1 about 5 weeks ago) and he has not had a breakout performance yet, and now is dealing with a nagging hamstring injury.

Brandon f'n Marshall. Started him over Peyton Hillis who has 19 points to Marshall's 3. Marshall is about to be benched from here on out.

Ryan Mathews and Matt Schaub have been awful this season. Jesus Christ.

Todd Haley, Charlie Weis GTFO. Last week he ran wild and how do his coaches repay him? You'd think by handing him the rock as many times as they can against Oakland's terrible Run Defense. Wrong Instead you give those carries to a guy who should only be in on third downs.

It'd mind boggling why they would give Jamaal Charles 10 carries and Thomas Jones 19. He's making much more of his carries than Jones and is clearly the more talented back I don't know if they realize it yet but Jamaal Charles needs to be the focal point for the Chiefs offense if they want to win football games.

Not a big problem this week I smashed the guy whose in first place by 50 points but still just when I thought JC did enough to prove hes the best player on the Chiefs offense Todd Haley and Charlie Weis feel like they need to cockblock Charles owners. I could swear they both didn't get a chance to draft Charles on their own team and were stuck with T Jones.

Pierre Garcon. Thankfully I only started him in one of my leagues and am still up 59, against Mike Wallace, Benson, and Gresham.

Got Charles in both of my leagues and although last week was definitely messed up this week was a good sign. I think that POS Haley is starting to get it now that the Chiefs are losing. The last few games when KC has fallen behind he's been throwing Charles out there with very little of Jones. It seems like Haley knows Charles is better (much better) but he's trying to save him. The only problem is if you save him now you don't make the playoffs. I think the Charles explosion starts now.

No headaches this week for me. Put up 162 points in one league (Ben, Wallace, Roddy, Charles, Hillis, and Heap (great fill in for Gates)) while only getting 6 points from my kicker and 0 from Arizona D. In my other league I have 142 (league record) with McCoy still to go. Great week overall but some tough matchups coming up. Still got Gates, Addai, and Collie out in my main league. Hopefully, they can get to 100% for the playoffs.

I traded Dez Bryant and Ryan Torain for Garcon cause I thought he would put up semi #1 reciever numbers. Awful awful trade there.

I've been okay cause I got Nicks, Lloyd, with Garcon/Crabtree/Amendola rotating in that third wr spot. But yeah, sure as hell didnt see Dez putting up 20 a game when I traded him.

Charles is in on 90% of passing downs. KC was so bad early on that the whole game was passing downs.

I actually have Fitzpatrick too but I was not about to bench my savior for a Bill.

But, several weeks ago when McFadden ran wild on Denver, I benched him for Ryan Torian. Still won the game but that move pissed me off. But in my defense, McFadden was coming off of an injury.

I'm worried now bout Vick, my team is pretty solid but can't beat a team that has one guy scoring 50% of my teams total lol
