I have *such* a mancrush for Ben Tate right now.

[MRT144]

Berz must be so mad in DST.

[SlowwHand]

Yes. He's had it so rough. Poor Berz.

[Ben Kenobi]

I clinch playoffs with Guynemer guaranteed a loss! Looks like first through fourth is going to lose again in Auction.

If everyone including Berz loses - only one who can catch me is Berz. Need a Berz loss next week (or heaven forbid, a win). Would be nice to win one of these coinflips.

Last night after the game I checked out my IDP matchup, and with both of us having 2 players playing tonight in MNF, I figured my lead might hold up, as long as Lynch had a decent game for me and Wilson didn't have a monster game against me. Famous last words, I am now getting slaughtered and have lost another week!

[Al B. Sure!]

FYI, Eric Decker was on my bench, Jordy did nothing, neither did Marshall, and my opponent had Alshon Jeffrey. I still won and am in the playoffs in all of my leagues, including D/ST!

[Berzerker]

wow, thats right - you had decker

[Ben Kenobi]

Eric Decker was on my bench, Jordy did nothing

Didn't I say bench Jordy?

[-Jrabbit]

Still about you, eh, Ben?

Congrats, Alby!

[Berzerker]

Didn't I say bench Jordy?

but did you recommend decker?

[Al B. Sure!]

No he did not. No mention of Decker here:

I would run
Vincent Jackson
Josh Gordon
MJD
Graham
Stacy
Marshall.

I went with MJD, Rashad Jennings, B-Marsh, Gordon, Nelson, and Graham.

In my league with its very simple settings (1 pt/10yds rec/rush, no PPR, 6 pts/TD, no negatives for fumbles; just the basics), Ben's lineup was worse than mine by a small bit.

Vjax: 7
Gordon: 38
MJD: 13
Graham: 10
Stacy: 7
Marshall: 4
Jennings: 15
Nelson: 1

Ben's lineup would have gotten me 79 points while mine got me 81.

Ideal lineup would have been VJax and Decker over Marshall and Nelson. That would have given me a hefty 124 points. I won regardless though it was scary since my opponent had the hard-hitting QB-WR combo of Josh McCown and Alshon Jeffrey

Dude, Zac Stacy is out with a concussion. Physically, he's questionable at best, plus the Rams face SF.
IMHO both Jennings and Rice are better choices.

Jennings certainly was with his 15 points. Rice got 6 points to Stacy's 7 so Ben's whole argument Stacy vs Rice proved technically correct but not significantly so. He missed the real winner here which was Jennings.

Jrabbit gets credit for the win over Ben here.

Jrabbit's Jennings/Rice got 21 to Ben's MJD/Stacy getting 20.

Funnily enough, I also own Shane Vereen who I didn't bother mentioning because I have never started him and he also outscored Zac Stacy and Rice.

[-Jrabbit]

Glad you won, and best of luck in the playoffs, Alby.

For the record, I made no starter recommendations. You could look it up.

[SlowwHand]

Strange thing to worry about, but I have no doubt that Alby will run off to check.

[Ben Kenobi]

My predictions would have been spot on if not for the 2 faider TDs. In the end, they were still pretty good aside from not putting in Decker.

[Ben Kenobi]

Also, first place in Auction. 10-4.
