Standard League
Result - Loss
Score 34 - 88
Power Rank - 8th
Second epic beat down in 2 weeks. After starting strong the first week, my team has not been able to do much of anything. I had 3 starters put up 1 point and another put up 0. You know your team is in for a bad week when your high scorer is your Kicker, mine had 8. Same as last week, no big injuries just bad games. My opponent had 4 players score in the double digits. Just a bad day all around for my guys.
Not much to say about my team right now. I'm not going to panic and start dumping guys, that will only lead to more problems and you can't dig yourself out of a hole by more digging. My team is good and I believe they will turn the corner and start winning some games again. A lot of my guys are first or second year players so sometimes it takes a little longer for them to get going. I have confidence we will make another run at a playoff spot. Just have to sorry about covering bye weeks now. Really only 1 big one this week with my TE - Thomas but I was prepared and will have TE Walker to start in his place.
Made one move this week. Picked up Houston WR DeAndre Hopkins. He was getting the most targets on the team and usually that will turn into points, even if the team doesn't win many games. I'll start him this week and see how things go.

I had high hopes for this week but I wouldn't be surprised if I was handed a loss. This was my 3rd division opponent in 3 weeks. Luckily, my team, for the most part, all had good games and his, not so much. I was a little worried when my QB only put up 7.5 to his 24.5 but my WRs and RBs picked up the slack. Each of our teams only totaled 3 TDs and for this league, this was a low scoring game.
Was able to get out of this match up with no injuries also. But, one of my main RBs (Lynch) is on a bye week for this week. I spent most of the draft grabbing hand cuffs for my starters - so of course they all have the same bye weeks. I dropped a RB that I haven't even started yet and picked up RB Blount. He has had a couple of good games and has been scoring a bit even though he is not the starter. He was the best available so in a pinch, he will have to do. I just hope he can score a few for me. I also replaced my kicker this week. Not a big deal, my guy was doing OK but also on bye this week. Just went with the best available here too.
After a discussion with a league manager about divisions and play offs, I feel pretty good. Division wins is the first tie breaker and I have 3 wins there already. Hopefully I can keep this momentum going for a while longer. This week my opponent isn't overly strong at any position but this week, neither am I. We joked that we will have the lowest scoring game this week. My match ups look better this week so if I can get a few more points this week I should be OK.

Fantasy Football Week 8,9,10 Review
Redraft League - Standard Scoring
Results from the last 3 weeks: 3-0
Power Ranking: 2nd
Had a great few weeks. Have won my last 4 games and moved up to 2nd over all. My main running backs have been having really good games. With Aaron Rodgers being out for a while, RB Lacey has been getting the ball a ton and racking up the yards. I get RB Charles back from bye week this week. Have not had any big injuries either. Will probably keep RB Spiller and MJD on the bench for now. My other players are just playing better and being more consistent.
WR Hilton will probably be a starter for me every week now. Injuries to other Colts WR have pushed him more into the spotlight. He was being way underused this season before the last couple of games. Having QB Luck starting also helps me here as I can double dip on the TDs. I picked up TE Reed from the Redskins a few weeks ago. I was a little leery of starting 2 pass catchers from the same team every week but WR Garcon and Reed have been doing great. The Redskins fall behind in games a lot so they have to pass a bunch to stay in it.
I made 2 changes that I think will help me going forward towards the play offs. I picked up the Carolina DEF. They are a good team there. I dropped my kicker and picked up the Jets kicker. The Jets are actually doing OK right now. Since they are now coming off their bye week, as long as he does good, I'll keep him as my guy.

Ouch. Had my first loosing streak of the season. Lost 3 in a row until last week. My number 1 guy, QB Rodgers got injured on the first drive of the Chicago game. I was only able to get 3 points out of him that game and he has been out since. Not sure when he will make it back, really hoping he comes back soon and gets back up to game speed before the play offs start. I picked up QB Keenum the Texans. He has had some really good games the last few weeks. He helped me win last week. The final score was 147.36-144.77. Pretty close.
RB Lynch has been in full on Beast Mode the last few weeks. He is the second highest scoring player on my roster. I will have Murray on bye this week. I'm starting RB Ivory in his place. Not super confident, he seems to have good games when he's on the bench and when I start him I'd be lucky to scrape together a few points. He has been playing better so hopefully he can help me make a play off run. I also picked up RB Donald Brown. Looks like sooner or later the Colts will give him more playing time as Richardson has been terrible. Brown has been scoring so I'll keep him on the bench for depth and hope he gets more touches as the season winds down.
My WRs have still been doing good. I even made a trade last week. I traded away Gordon to get Cobb. I have several good WRs so I could afford to trade away one. I know Cobb is on IR right now and due to some of our League Rules that cannot be changed until next year I won't be able to start him at all this season, even if he plays. This trade was more looking to the future. Cobb is a young player and on his way up. I had WR Nelson last year and it works out to have a good WR from the Packers as long as I have Rodgers as my QB. I wanted to grab Cobb in the draft but it didn't work out. We also swapped draft picks, I moved up from round 10 to round 8, from a team that right now only has 2 wins, so I should make out good in this deal.

NFL Fantasy Football Week1 Review
Dedraft League: Week 1
Loss 64-94
0-1
Stunk up the league this week. Got very little production out of some big names. Granted, there were a lot of really good games against tough defenses in week 1 so I'm not too concerned about future games. Between Spiller and MJD I only got 4 points. Ouch. I can't feel too bad though. I put up the best team I could. The only exception was Eddie Lacey from Green Bay. He actually had a good day. But that would not have helped. I was out scored big time. Adding in Lacey's 9 point game would not have made a dent. Not much else to say about this team at the moment. No one got hurt and everyone has better match ups this week. Hoping for some bounce back performances from most of my running backs.
Keeper League: Week 1
Loss 124.08 - 133.30
0-1
Fared a little better but still not enough to pull off the win. Going into Monday night, I needed good games from both Garcon and DeShawn. Got the good game from DeShawn. I figured that if I could get 100 yards and a TD from each guy I could win. I was getting mad at the Redskins as they fell behind and kept rushing the ball. I got some horrible games from my running backs. Lynch faced a tough game and only got me 6 points. Ingram only got 1. That hurt. I think I'll start Mendenhall this week. He didn't have a great game last week, but he's still the main guy in that backfield and I feel better with him over Ivory and Ingram. I wasn't expecting much from my rookies and didn't get much. Michaels got nothing and Patterson was only used on a few passing plays and he ran back a few kicks so he was able to get a few points. I'm hoping Patterson gets more playing time soon. I don't feel too excited to be starting Davis but he did have a good game against Green Bay and should do well as teams are now aware of how they will be using Boldin.
My opponent had a great game from Cruz this week. If he had even half his points I would have won. It's not every week he will score 3 touchdowns. My teams don't score a ton of points so it's a matter of trying to have good match ups and have the other team hit a snag somewhere. My philosophy has been start who I have and hope the other team just sucks this week. Hooray!
