I am 10 weeks into my season with the New York Jets.
For the first few weeks, Tim Dwight was my punt returner. He had decent punt return ratings, and did okay, but wasn't doing anything special. Then, in a game against the Patriots in Week 2, Dwight fumbled a ball which would have given us possesion while only down by a few points. Then, the next game against the Bills, he fumbled a ball which gave the Bills a chance to go ahead late in the game (they did, and they won). I was sick of seeing these fumbles, so I put in rookie RB Leon Washington as the PR. As long as he could hold on to the ball (which he did when rushing), he would start as the PR. He put up terrible numbers, but didn't fumble once.
Then, during my bye week, I was looking at the transaction page and saw that the Cleveland Browns released Dennis Northcutt, who has pretty crappy ratings for a WR but was rated 64 in punt returning. I decided that I would give him a try, and signed him to a one year deal. He started my next game, against the Patriots.
the score is 28-20, the Patriots are winning, and there is 3 minutes left. I get the ball back, and go 3 and out. I decide to punt it, and let my defense stop them from running for a 1st down. They do. I realize I am about to get the ball back with 2 minutes left. I prepare for an attempt at a game winning drive. The Patriots punt the ball, and Northcutt returns it for a touchdown! I score the 2PC, then intercept a pass by Brady and kick a game winning FG, winning the game 31-28. Check the box score, and the rest of my NYJ dynasty, below.
