Apolyton Fantasy Football (not soccer damnit)

See? This site has people that are willing to let people know how they feel, and is a great resourse for FF advice; and generally, that advice is pretty well informed and thought out.

And now that it's too late (I didn't see this until after the games started), I'd go with Ridley just because I don't see the Packers running the ball that much.

It figures. I left Battle on my bench and he already has a rushing TD.

[Al B. Sure!]

Oops Jrabbit.

Though if it's any consolation, Bolden led the team in rushing, not Ridley, so the principle was sound.

Who else had the misfortune of playing against the 49ers D this week? I faced them in two leagues 35 and 24 points.

In D/ST league, Flash killed me with Houston D (41.90 points!)

Ben and I both said Ryan Mathews wasn't going to get much work. Sure enough, while Mathews was the better runner and got more yardage, he actually got one less carry than Battle and no score.

They were worth 67 against me in DST this week. They somewhat outperformed my Jets defense, which somehow stayed in positive territory. Barely.

Wish I had the balls to start Battle over SJax. Might cost me a win. 0-2 team is now 2-2, thanks to 44 points off the Charger defense.

Chargers were punishing Mathew for fumbling lately. He averaged 4.4 per carry while Battle averaged 2.6 per. I don't think Mathews is likely to be replaced anytime soon.

IN IDP AND DST, I finally benched Chris Johnson this week, since he's been a POS this year.
Of course, he has a breakout game with 25 carries, 141 yards and an average of 5.6.

[Donegeal]

My game is already won and I still have Murray to play.

Even better, it looks like I finally picked the right combo of WR/TEs! Still lost the the receiving category.

[Guynemer]

As of this moment, the score in the IDP league is me 156.76, Mountain Goats 156.76.



If Ahmad Bradshaw gets one more yard, I'm gonna finally win!

[Al B. Sure!]

Somebody on another forum posted this. His team (originally projected to win by 60 points!) is on the right:





On paper, there couldn't be a bigger disparity between the teams.

[Sparrowhawk]

I am debating with myself over which 3 of my 4 running backs to start (one in Flex).

They are:
12.25 Demarco Murray (Dallas) playing Chicago
9.15 Ryan Mathews (San Diego) playing KC
14.85 Frank Gore (San Francisco) playing NYJ
14.50 Cedric Benson (Green Bay) playing New Orleans

I added the points above that each received in our IDP league.....obviously I would have been best to go with Murray/Gore/Benson and put Matthews on the bench (as suggested by Ben Kenobi and Al B Sure) but instead I went with Murray on the bench and went with Matthews/Gore/Benson (as suggested by Slowwhand).

In the end it didn't matter, as I beat Cold Wizard (giving him his first loss of the season ) by more points than even the worst combination would have given me(sitting Gore...suggested by no one, and not even considered by me).

[SlowwHand]

Murray carrying 11 times for 24 yards was hardly a banner day. I would find it difficult to admit to giving bad advice.

[Sparrowhawk]

I missed tonights game so only have the stats to go off of (and we all know how misleading those can be) but I was more surprised by Murray's receiving yards than this lack of production in the running game. 7 receptions for 57 yards...what's up with that?

(and for the record, I didn't and don't think your advice was bad, it made sense to me to sit him against the Chicago defense)

They're doubting us again, Ben
