Someone has offered me Best and Cadillac for MJD. In another league. After last games performance I just don't know.

[Al B. Sure!]

Cadillac is a bum. Jahvid Best truly only had one good game (against the Eagles). But, as a rookie, he will improve and be more consistent as the season progresses.

Still, no way would I do it.

Wait... I looked at MJD's stats... what is wrong? He had 121 total yards and 2 TD's this week... 89 yards last week...

What is the problem? I keep hearing MJD owners being frustrated (ESPN even talked about it) but he's doing fine. Yeah, he's not putting up numbers corresponding to where he was drafted and the fact that guys like Arian Foster are outperforming him might be bothersome but so what? He's still playing at a very respectable level.

Well thats what I mean with last week. Finally MJD started to shine. The worst part about that league is I'm 0-4 but have 7th most points.

[Al B. Sure!]

7th most points isn't very compelling. How many people are in the league? Unless this is a 16 team league which I think would be retarded, you're on the back end of scoring.

And you mean you seriously would have entertained that offer before this week?! Why do people give up on proven commodities so quickly? And for Cadillac Williams and Jahvid Best? Even before that game, MJD had more rushing yards than Best. And Cadillac Williams is not good at all. According to ESPN, he's only even rostered in 82% of leagues and starting in only 3.4%. I don't even see why you would want him unless this is a really deep league like our D/ST one.

4-0 now at Poly, but the start from hell continues. I match up against another 2 seed, Tuberski!

I love this sort of thing because it forces the good teams to lose some games.

Yeah, but at 0-4 and having 7th most points is pretty astoundingly unlucky. I have had the worst luck this year in matchups. And I would have entertained the offer between week 2 and 3.

It can be tough. Luck of the draw with matchups. Earlier, I had a big week and lost by under a point to Sloww (the king of good FF karma for some reason). This week, in another league, I got 0.10 of Cutler, yet won by 13 (thank you Patrick Chung!).

[flash9286]

The thing that annoys me most is that I have the 4th most points so I don't think my draft strategy was flawed. It's that I caught Imran on his best week this year, and 2/3 top teams so far.

Yea, you have had bad luck in regards to matchups. Not much you can do about it, unless we do not use head-to-head scoring.

[Donegeal]

This is true, but only to a point. Don't forget about the Rookie Wall. 12-13 games as a college player, 20 as a pro. The proseason is very long compared to college. He'll hit the wall right around FF playoffs and Fantasy Bowl. Stick with MJD.

I generally like HtH scoring but this is the clear exception.

[Al B. Sure!]

Hey MRT:

FavreDollarFootlongs:
Points for: 351.20
Points against: 371.74
Record: 2-2

Purple Drank:
Points for: 474.50
Points against: 481.75
Record: 1-3



You did not sacrifice at the altar of the football gods

IN FFZ, the number 3 scoring team finally earned a win to go 1-3. 602 points scored in 4 weeks, but 625 against. No one else is within 50 of him in points against.

[Donegeal]

Randy Moss is close to being traded back to the Minnesota Vikings! Discuss!

[-Jrabbit]

If this is true, Childress is in full panic mode. Either that, or Favre is demanding a change, since he obviously didn't realize how seriously Sidney Rice was hurt when he agreed to come back.

Not exactly a feel-good story for Bernard Berrian.

[Ben Kenobi]

Really? I'm surprised they don't go for Jackson.
