GWC Fantasy Football League

Our defenses were off the chain this week. I think they’re the #1 & #2 fantasy scorers so far this week. Crazy!

As far as the score, I know when the jig is up. :slight_smile: Anything can happen, but I’m really pleased with how this week went for the Deathwoks, even though we lost.

Somehow, we get Redzone free of charge. Hmmmm…

I use the trading block and I hope others will start filling it out too. Or I’m
gonna be stalking the waiver wire for some WRs. :smiley:

Comcast had a free preview this weekend. They shut down my access an hour late. But, I enjoyed it.

A lot of opportunistic defensive performances this week for sure. And fastcart, you made two starts that were only occasionally mentioned throughout the week on bogs and 'casts and they came through BIG!

Well I tried to get into the smack talk board when I got home. Unfortunately ESPN’s network was having serious issues. I am hopeful I will pull out a win this week. As long as Rogers continues as he has been for tonights game.

kicks ESPN in the shins…hard

They gave PDW’s 49ers defense another 8 points (from 31 to 39). We’re 113 to 121 now. I guess they didn’t hear SeelixSeesAll’s concession. This is what I meant by the universe hating complacency.

I’ve seen overnight point shifts the past 3 weeks, but never by this much.

If you meant Mike Sims-Walker, I had a feeling about him because Troy Williamson is out for the year. If the second starter you meant was Saints D/ST, I started them because Mark Sanchez has been flaky and I figured he’d throw a few interceptions. That said, Mario Manningham and Fred Jackson didn’t perform as well as Thomas Jones and Pierre Garcon this week, so I’m no magic 8 ball. (:

Aset, I saw your post in the smack talk channel, but I had left for the night after being by myself for nearly 8 hours.

Ok universe, don’t injure Peterson. I was just giving an example, not trying to jinxing myself. (:

MNF Frak anyone? I’m in week 4 smack talk.

It was nice to wake up to those extra 8 pts, my friend! :smiley:

I hope Peterson trips on his shoelaces. :slight_smile:

check ya later!

Lemme get this straight… GB challenged a fumble, which turned into a safety against them, to prevent the Vikings from having the ball on GB’s 1 yard line for what could be an easy Viking TD?

I have a small sliver of hope that I will finally go 2-0 this week, but I need Jennings to score. You know, NOW.

As it is, I’m glad I’m not counting on my Packers to carry me this week. I knew it would be a tough matchup, but OUCH.

I hate football. Sigh

I hear you. This Felgercarb Ale’s for you.

Dude. I scored 118 pts this week and still lost. Geez. 1-3. :frowning:

Bright side is you found out 49ers D, Palmer, and Flacco are keepers.

Yep. But I’ve got some WR work to do. :smiley: Great matchup, Cart!

And it looks like I’ve got McNabb back next week!! W00T!! :smiley:

Seelix, let me know if you want to talk a WR for Flacco or something in the same vein.

You too! You gave me a big scare!!

Seriously, everyone should throw up whatever players they want to trade on the trade block. The feature is there for a reason. ^^

See…I have never traded because I don’t fully understand who I should or shouldn’t trade or even why I would want to trade them.

Sorry to spam, but I wanna make a couple of notes.

In addition to making use of the Trading Block, please make sure all of your line up slots are filled. A couple of people lost because they didn’t have a kicker or forgot to replace their bye week players. Also, be careful not to put injured players into your lineup. I mean players who are labelled as Out, not probables or questionables. The latter is harder because injury reports can change just before game time.

I don’t consider this collusion because I’d know how I feel if these were happened to me. I’d rather everyone have fun especially since we’re playing for free against other GWCers, people we know and care about. Losing due to your own mistake rather than fairly against an opponent is one of the worst feelings. So, be careful everyone!

Besides, don’t bragging rights feel better against people who gave it their all? (:

So, ask for opinions. It’s what we’re here for. Live, learn, and have fun!

Darren McFadden is out for 2-4 weeks so I’d waiver him.
Nate Kaeding has a bye so I’d waiver him for a RB or WR since you have 2 kickers.
I’m not crazy about either the Cowboys or Eagles D/ST, but I can’t list any reasons for waiving them. You might try putting them up for trade to see if anyone wants to swap with you.
Your quarterback situation looks good in my opinion.

I don’t really see anything else that sticks out, but this is my first Fantasy League.

If you feel adventurous and have extra time, the ESPN site has several blogs you can go through to get some opinions. I’ve been consuming them like mad since I’m a newb and they’re free.

Edit: I or other people can offer advice to LisaSLC, Aset’s opponent, so it’s fairer. If LisaSLC wants the advice that is.

Trading questions would seem to be good discussion topic for us.

do not dump the philly D. in bad matchups they’re solid, and in favorable ones they’re beasty. they’re a starting D for sure.

it is hard to find takers unless your D is top-flight, and kickers are not a position most people trade for. the only good reason to have two kickers is if you have an AWESOME kicker and he is on Bye or is temporarily injured.
