Stupid Fantasy Football Moves..

Eaglesfan27 · 11-09-2003, 02:39 PM

I started Kerry Collins against Atlanta this week and he has netted me a -4 points with his 2 picks so far

...

On my bench, Tommy Maddox with 20 fantasy points so far against Arizona.

This move, may very well cost me a win this week. If it does, I will likely miss the playoffs and a nice money pot (just making the playoffs gets a little cash in this league)

You don't know the cardinal rule of the Giants?

Whenever they should cruise, they lose.

JAG · 11-09-2003, 02:42 PM

Yeah, I was about to convince my brother to play Warrick Dunn this week. Instead he started Shaun Bryson. Oh well.

That is a sage rule which I wish I had listened to before setting my lineup this week.

Dola

Speaking of that rule.. I wish I had listened to it before starting Tiki Barber whose fumbles are costing me big.

MY MONEY IS GOING DOWN THE DRAIN!!!

Damn Giants!!

You did WHAT?!?

I missed that advice on this board, but sheesh. I would never start Collins over McNair no matter the matchup. I wish I could get McNair in my league. I tried trading everything for him last week, including Harrison and Tiki Barber in a 2 for 1. I couldn't get him. The guy is having a monster season and in my opinion is MVP of the NFL this year. On the other hand, my lack of a quality steady QB is costing my team the playoffs likely.

Cringer · 11-09-2003, 03:20 PM

I started Collins this week but my other QB has a bye week....
on the plus side though, i was able to pick up Rudi Johnson this morning, who for some reason hadn't been grabbed yetafter he was released by a guy who thought Dillon would be back a week or so ago.........that helped me

Had I had both McNair and Collins, I'd have started Collins.

I have a pretty good team. Two players scored TDs for my team this week: backup WR Johnny Morton and waiver-wire-pickup-just-for-starter-this-week QB David Carr (who made me look smart for picking him up as he notched 2 TDs to Bledsoe's 0 and McNabb's unknown tomorrow night and Brooks off week).

That said, my opponent only had 2 TDs from Manning, 2 TDs from Rudi Johnson and that's it. So if Jamal Lewis can have a big game tonight, I may be able to with with only 2 players scoring TDs. Because between the two of us: Amani Toomer, Reggie Wayne, Edgerrin James, Chad Johnson, Peter Warrick, Deshaun Foster, Terry Glenn, Itula Mili, and Andre Johnson combined for maybe 400 yards and 0 TDs...

SI

Eaglesfan27 · 11-09-2003, 07:49 PM

I also need Jamal Lewis to have a BIG night. If he can score 3 touchdowns, I could still win

With most other backs, I would say this is unlikely, but with Jamal Lewis the dream is still alive.

Cringer · 11-09-2003, 07:55 PM

I need Jamal Lewis to have a big night so the stupid Rams will lose!! Otherwise i was very happy today with Fred Taylor and Rudi Johnson.....hopefully Favre will finally get another TD pass to Bubba Franks tomorrow night, that would help me.....

Pumpy Tudors · 11-09-2003, 08:15 PM

Tomlinson was practially my entire team today, considering that Maurice Morris is my other back, and Kurt Kittner was at QB for me today. Urgh.

TroyF · 11-09-2003, 09:24 PM

In one of my leagues I have TJ Duckett and Marshall Faulk as my starting running backs this week. I'm not sure I've ever had my two starting RB's have that good of a day with that few of yards.

In another league I started Rudi Johnson and Charlie Garner. Talk about heaven and hell. . .

I thought this thread was going to be a recap of everything I did in my money league this year.

Wasabiak · 11-09-2003, 10:24 PM

I have Collins and Pennington in one of my leagues. I had Collins starting all week, but one of the fantasy gods told me in a dream last night to switch to Pennington, so i did. Thank you fantasy gods! =)

Hey, I had Kyle Boller and Willis McGahee starting (my only other RB was on a bye).
