Hilariously I have Leveon and am playing against Jesse James. Fantasy football is a cruel bitch.

It is. I was in a dead-heat with LeVeon and Kelce going up against Big Ben. I figured my odds were pretty good, though certainly not assured...unless Ben went off :-?

The thing I absolutely hate about F.F. is facing players who have the one good game against you. Like Terrence West scoring 3 points a game and putting up 17 when I play against him.

Teams in my league average around 80-90 per week, but score 140 every time they play me.

I am 1-3. Second most points for at 413, points scored against is 500 (the next highest is 370). I keep saying it has to balance out, but every week I get slapped in the face again.

Same here... Every week its stressful. This week, had matt ryan. played julio jones and Kuhn!!! he had zero rb's due to injury and picked up kuhn!!! 3 tds... My goal is just to get into the playoffs. As long as my team is top in scoring it should realistically even out.

I guess that Carolina D isn't elite anymore, eh? Glad I sat Matty Ice for effing Dalton

Every week I look at my opponent's team and outside of his main star (this week Julio) I laugh and think this is going to be a cakewalk.

Then I have guys like DeAndre Hopkins put up 0.4 points against Isaiah Crowell putting up 29 and Terrence West putting up 18

In one league I am actually still up by 7 but face Darkwa so he will probably go off too.

Next week I face:
Latavius Murray (averaging less than 10 per week, 2.4 points yesterday)
Charles Sims (averaging 8 ppg, 1.5 yesterday)
Carlos Hyde (seems to be doing 1 good game, 1 bad game as his rotation)
Eli
Davante Parker (averaging 5ppg, 2.0 yesterday this weekend)

other league:

The guy actually has a really good team
Brandon Marshall, Emmanuel Sanders, Mike Wallace, CJ Anderson, Zeke, Kyle Rudolph

If you have any of these guys play them, because odds are most of them have career type of games this weekend.

Yep, we've all been there. Like two years ago, I was in two money leagues with like second highest point mid way through the season and something like 1-6 in both leagues. It was just so totally cursed the ways I was losing. Can not stress enough how hard it is to be that high in points and in two separate leagues get bent over like that. Got to the point where Sunday wasn't my favorite day of the week.

I'd like to say it got better and I went on to miraculously make the playoffs, but this story doesn't end that way.

I have literally been playing F.F. for 25 years. Never have I ever seen something this extreme. These guys are playing and winning with scrubs that really shouldn't be on any roster against an allstar team.

I mean (assuming ODB doesn't go off for 200 yards and 3 tds tonight)

ODB
Hopkins
Mike Evans
Gurley
DeMarco Murray

losing to

Isaiah Crowell
Terrance West
Matt Jones
Steve Smith
John Brown

That makes no sense, whatsoever

There's a guy in one of my leagues that has a lot of players listed in the second group and he's undefeated. I think he's finished last or close to last every year of the league, so he's traditionally a terrible owner that has totally lucked out thus far. Haha

0-2 another week thanks to a garbage TD by Darkwa

Line your garbage players up against me and you will win.........

Wondering what will happen when I go against the guy who has Rodgers/Antonio Brown/Freeman

Profound23 · Post #412 » by **Profound23** » Tue Oct 4, 2016 3:29 am

I literally lost by 2 points because of that B.S. touchdown......fu** you Darkwa

Profound23 · Post #413 » by **Profound23** » Tue Oct 4, 2016 4:19 am

Between Hopkins, Odb, and Mike Evans I got a combined 8.5 points.

Nice.....

Waiver wire adds...I'm going to try and land Wentz, he's been pretty stellar. I have Luck in one league and Matty Ice in the other and almost NEVER roster to QBs, but I think I am going to make the exception here.

Also, after week 1, it looks like a ton of leagues dropped Rams defense and they seem to be putting up a ton of ff points. I don't really follow them so I was surprised to see that.

Got offered Hopkins for Miller. This seems to be the only deal that can get done and I have Forte, Hyde and Michael as well at RB with no top 10 or 15 WR. What do you think?

Since you don't have a top WR I would do it, especially if its in a PPR league.

Its standard and i tried forte and one of snead, crabtree or jackson but he is stacked at WR

I would give you advice, but every single trade I have made has backfired on me so far.

DeMarco for Gurley

Jordy for Hopkins

I don't even understand fantasy football anymore I guess.

Haha I just completed the trade..think I did decent I gave up Brees but got back cousins/Hopkins/s ware
