Badmike wrote in NFL Fantasy Football - Acaeum Collectors League:
Rodgers and Brees were the top two scorers in fantasy football last season, I don't see why someone wouldn't have taken either of them in the first round over a great RB like AP, yet I keep seeing draft guides saying you should wait until the 3rd round to snag a QB. Top scorer is top scorer! I guess we'll see how it works this year as I have Rodgers or Brees as QB in every fantasy league I have drafted in so far...

Hey everyone,

This quote right here from Badmike. That was the reason why I kept Brees too, even though I knew I would be losing out on some quality RB's. He kept me in the running last season up until the final 2 games of the regular season.

Best regards,
Ronald

Moving this from the art thread...

LucyJoyce with Peyton Manning... 50+ points...

You almost had me there at the end, IO. 5 points was all that separated us. Love Manning, but the rest of my team is on notice. Might have to make a few changes to my roster. As usual.

Hey lucyjoyce,

Being over in Hong Kong, I still haven't had a chance to see the game.
But the highlights were absolutely ridiculous.

Looks like Peyton will do for you this year what Drew Brees did for me last year.

Ronald

First: I am happy with drafting Adrian "All Day" Peterson in the 5 slot...
Thought about keeping Foster, but then got him in the 2nd round too...
How does that even happen?

Second: I am playing against the Dragons who started Peyton this week.
I have a measly 4 point lead with Foster left and he has Andre Johnson left.
Luckily, he started Gronkowski at TE who did not play this week.

Heh... What would be an average day for a normal quarterback was a sub-par day for Brady! If he put up another touchdown and 100 more yards, I would have won...

Hey Invincible Overlord,

Well I don't know what to say... you should have beat me in week 1.
Somehow I managed to just edge you out and now have to deal with Badmike in week 2.

Ronald

Ok. New week for me, since I had no players in the Thursday night game. I'm predicted to win one league by a smidgen, and lose the other by a bit wider margin. But we all know that things change. Good luck to all, and now to give my locker room pregame speech before the Ladies of Pain and the Screaming Iguanas take the field. My dogs will be listening attentively.

Hey everyone,

New week and wow I just got smacked upside the head by Mike and his busy little Shrews...

Aaron Rodgers smoked Drew Brees and it was all downhill from there...

All my guys are finished, Mike is 22 points ahead, and he's still got Frank Gore on the field...

Ouch... hope I can bounce back from this bad week.

Oh and to add insult to injury I just found out that Mike's backup QB had more points than Brees did...

Best regards,
Ronald

2-0 in the Luddite League going for my three-peat.

0-2 in EVERY SINBLE OTHER LEAGUE I am in. Oddly enough, I have nearly the same team in every league, just bad luck in most of them to be playing someone that outscored me.

Typically luck more than skill will matter in fantasy football....

Well, halfway through the season and I'm in my customary place down near the bottom of the Luddite league. 2-6 is a typical record for the Cubes it seems. I don't know what it is about this league - I usually do OK in fantasy football (I play in 3 leagues, and my other teams are 7-1 and 6-2), but I always get crushed in the Luddite. This week was no exception - a horrible beat down 162-80, inflicted by Mike B's Shrews.

I know I've been hit worse than usual by injuries this year, but there is enough talent in the FA pool that I should be able to cope. But while teams like Gumby start no-names like Marvin Jones and Ellington this week for huge numbers, my replacements score way below their projections.

Ah well... I'll start planning for next year.

Regards
Mike

Im at or around .500 in all my leagues this year (5-3, 4-4, 3-5) . Nothing in the tank but time is running out unless some of these teams go on big runs. The funny thing is I dont feel I have any bad teams, just bad luck and injuries (Randall Cobb was on nearly all of my teams) Some under achievers havent helped either (pick it up Aaron Rodgers)

Be warned!!! Chatbot knows your name, your true name.

I prayed to Chatbot this weekend during the 4th quarter of the Cowboys game and they won...Chatbot has many, many powers.

Its a shame about Aaron Rogers. The chatbot giveth; the chatbot taketh away.

Too soon?

No kidding. I only needed 10 pts to win in one league with Rodgers playing. Now I have to go to my backups in nearly all my leagues. Fuck Rodgers!

Rodgers? I swapped out the miserable Tom Brady for Russel Wilson.

HAH!

Honestly... I do this for the lesson of humility...

IO I dropped Brady in one league...he's been miserable beyond compare before last weekend (ranking at about #17 or worse in most standard scoring leagues) and I had Rivers already (and picked up Alex Smith as my backup). Now watch Brady rack them up the rest of the season...
