I'm fine with 3 moves a week,it just surprised me when I tried to make a much needed pick up and couldn't.I don't usually make a lot of moves but my line-up is terrible this season and needs tweaking.

1 injured reserve slot would be great though.

Why I never bet $$ on Fantasy....Julio Jones has had me a great game already, but with a blowout like this surely he'll be benched soon, if not the whole second half (though I hope I'm wrong)

I picked up Harry Douglas on a whim just to have somebody to watch tonight.  That opening touchdown was nice, but guess what?  He's injured!  Plus this blowout.

I hate Thursday games. I work so many hours during the week, I oftentimes forget about Thursday. Forgot today and had Roddy White in as my starter. He sat out this week. Oi.

If this team keeps going the way it is; I will be auto drafting every single league I am in.

Actually this is even better proof why it's crazy to bet money on FF
Given that I have Julio and my opponent has the Tampa Bay defense LOL I thought for sure I'd be slaughtering already. They managed 14some point!?!? I tuned out of that game so guess I missed the 3 fumble recoveries, as well as the defensive touchdown. 

I'm totally OK with it, we should reward defenses, just shows why FF isn't worth betting money on. Almost 15 points from a defense that allowed 56 pointsLOL
That said, I feel OK with my autodrafted team. Has worked out so far!

We could increase the severity for letting defenses score more that 35points(we can not go higher than 35). Currently it stands at minus 5 points. We could make it -10pts, for you get +10pts if your defense keeps their opponents to a scoreless game. Or we could add/minus points for allowing 28-34 points/21-27 points/ etc.. but I rather dislike that.

Also betting money is called gambling. And gambling, by its own definition, is a risk. This doesn't mean it isn't worth it, just that for you the risk/reward ratio does not suit your playing style. I don't gamble on FF because I live in a state where online gambling is illegal, but there are plenty of big risks in FF, and big risks = big rewards.

A Rod is having a rough year...is his line crap? The 2 teams he played with tough defenses/can bring pressure he's played lousy in. 

Hell, he piled up good stats against the Jets but he had to come back, they too have a good d line. Of course this is fantasy so we only care about those sweet ass stats....mmm

Bye weeks have arrived. It's actually one of the many things I love about fantasy football over other fantasy sports.

Ughhhh....watch me lose by a few points, all because I'm a dumbass haha
But hey, great for real life! All that talk about the Giants lacking a good Tight End Big smile

EDIT: Thank god for Rodgers!! Also thank god for Minnesota LOL hoping Julio Jones can torch em like TB. Maybe this all will negate my massive mistake.

I thought I was going to be an automatic loss this week with three of my top players on the bye, but it looks like I could actually win. I just need D. Murray to run all over the Saints like he's supposed to, and I won't give Rob his first W. Embarrassed

EDIT: But dammit, of all the defenses to pick up, I thought Atlanta would match up well with the Vikings' offense looking like shambles. Pinch

Wow I held on to that, even with Julio, McCoy and Maclin largely disappointing. 
Thank god I always take SF's defense (or in this case the computer did haha) they work great for our system. Always rack up stops, a few sacks and picks, sh*t adds up! 

Oh and Trent Richardson sucks but he did sneak a TD in thereBig smile
