Fantasy Football 2009: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em, Trade 'Em

[Tyche]

Nate should be a good WR3 play.

[Lbelle]

They are free agents, not on my team (yet?). I just was curious if I should pick one up if Housh is out of commission for today.

[Mizango]

Miles Austin sucks.

[Gadritan]

I got a funky situation this week with QBs and DEF.

My QBs are Rivers and Flacco. My DEF are Ravens and Jets.

Rivers and Ravens are my #1, but with SD playing BAL, I'll could be cutting my own throat with pts from Rivers or the Ravens in a lot of cases.

I could start Rivers and the Jets DEF, but for obvious reasons I'm not liking the Jets D against the Patriots.

So that leaves the option of Ravens D and Flacco as my starting QB, but I don't see him producing anywhere near like he did last week.

Opinions?

[tyven]

Miles Austin sucks.

glass houses, throw stones, etc etc. also black people

[Plow]

[Brill Weave]

I played a guy who has Chris Johnson.













I have Frank Gore. And I decided to start Schaub at the last minute. Victory is mine.

[Abandon]

Chris Johnson gave me 45 points.

Also have Drew Brees, Mario Manningham, and NYG Steve Smith. Win.

I did the complete opposite and played Flacco. I also forgot to take Jennings out and put in Harvin. What a douchebag move.

[Brill Weave]

Yeah I have Harvin basically sitting in my WR/TE spot because the one league I'm in gives points for return yards. The only time I'm pulling him out is going to be his bye week. And then I'll be rolling with Robert Meachem......

[Lbelle]

won in all 3 leagues:D

[Tetrarien]

Argh. Moss and Jennings completely killed my team this week.

My only hope lies with Dallas Clark and Gibril Wilson against Yeremiah Bell (IDP, obviously). Pretty much need Clark to rack up about 30pts...

[tyven]

I SURE HOPE VADE WON IN BGE THIS WEEK

[wyrmtung]

Happiness is waking up on a Monday morning knowing your fantasy football team already won that week.

Let's break down an exciting Sunday afternoon.

-Early games end with our hero, Team Myoplex, down by 37 points against the despicable Week 2 Bye. Score 43-80.
-TM has 4 players left to play and W2B has 2 players left. All six players are playing in the Sunday afternoon games.
-With the help from FGs by Kaeding and a TD catch by Winslow, TM is slowing closing the gap on W2B.
-Oh, noes! Hasselbeck gets speared in the back on a dive to the goal line. Now he's done!


KEY MOMENT: Thirty-eight seconds left in the first half of the Chargers game. It's 4th and 2 on the Ravens 34 yd line. They elect to go for it instead of allowing my kicker, Kaeding, to attempt a 51 yd FG. (Bastards.) The gamble is successful as they complete a 9yd pass to Gates for a first down. Next play, deep pass to Jackson who is downed 6 inches from the goal line. I went from a possible 5 pt field goal to a probable 1 pt extra point. (Those bastards!) After an unsuccessful replay challenge from the Ravens, the Chargers take their sweet time running the next play and they stupidly get a penalty for delay of game. (Dumbasses.) After two incomplete passes into the endzone they finally elect to kick the field goal. (Those Chargers are awesome!) Booyah, that's 3 points for Team Myoplex when it could have been 1 or 0 points.


Skipping ahead to the end of the afternoon...

-Kaeding kicks his fourth FG of the day to give Team Myoplex the lead for the first time all day!!! Score 92-91 Could TM finally get their revenge for last year's loss?


FLASHBACK MOMENT: The time is 2008, Off Constantly (Now named Team Myoplex) is facing Raw Power (Now Week 2 Bye) in the second game of the season. OC takes a gamble and starts a rookie, DeSean Jackson, at wide receiver. The gamble seems to pay off when he catches a pass and runs 60 yards for what should be a sure touchdown but stupidly flips the ball just before the goal line. Instead of 60 yds and a touchdown for 12 pts, Jackson earns 60 yds and a fumble for 4 pts. OC ends up losing to RP by ONE POINT 85-86.


-Back to the present, the Seahawks-49ers game ends which eliminates two players from TM (QB and WR). TM is down to a TE and a Kicker left in play. W2B has a WR and Def left in play. Not looking good for TM's one point lead.
-Dammit, Ravens get an interception on the Chargers with 4:30 minutes left in their game. That's 2 pts for W2B. Score 92-93
-The interception leads to a Ravens FG which puts the Chargers down 5 points with 3 mins left in the game. No way that Kaeding is going to get another FG attempt. I think my only hope is that the Chargers somehow get a TD and kick an extra point so that I can tie the game at 93-93.
-Resigned to my probable loss, I turn off the TV and get some food.
-After I get back, I see this:

HUH??? How did I manage to get two points? I totally forgot that my TE was still playing. I thought the Bucs-Bills game was over because the Bills had the ball with under 3 mins left in the game. I assumed they would be able to run out the clock. Instead, what happened was they kicked a FG with 2 mins left giving the Bucks the ball back. And with 1:06 mins left in the game this happened:

Kellen Winslow gets 11 yards at the end of the game to push his total yards from 79 to 90 yards! Yes, those 11 yards counted for TWO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL FANTASY POINTS!! Team Myoplex wins! My revenge is complete.

NOW I'M DONE!
