This week's been a beaut for me...all of this happened on one team, in one league (twelve team, fifteen-player roster with one QB, two RB, two WR, one Flex, one TE, one K and one DEF starters): Ronnie Brown - gets hurt, now on IR and done for the season Michael Turner - gets hurt, has a high-ankle sprain so who knows about him going forward Cedric Benson - gets hurt, is probably out this week at least when I play the first-place team in my league Dwayne Bowe - gets popped for PED's, suspended the next four weeks (including the first round of the playoffs if I get there) and I can't even drop him because we have one keeper per team and some douche team would pick him up to use him as a 15th round keeper next year That doesn't even include my backup QB Kyle Orton, who also got dinged up last week. Did I mention all of my RB's getting hurt caused me to lose to the last-place team for the second week in a row, dropping me to 5-5 and borderline to make the playoffs?
Schaub, Benson, Brown, Roddy, Colston, Miller those were my starters Benson, Brown injured Didnt make playoffs.. finished 4-8... and its a 14 team deep league
TE Owen Daniels out for the season Followed that up with an absolute blunder of a trade: Traded away RB Addai for RB M. Barber + TE Ben Watson. I thought Barber was still fantasy relevant for some reason? My team's been shit ever since.
I had Miles Austin, drafted him for one dollar in a money league. Dropped him right before he got hot, someone else picked him up for 2 bucks right after I cut him. Good move.
I benched Austin last week, and was so busy with moving I never got a chance to put him back in for last nights game
i love playing the wrong people or forgetting to switch QBs or RBs and then I lose by 5-15 pts when a guy on my bench would have easily won the week for me. I have two leagues where this is the only reason why I'm in 8th place in both of them.
This year in my Yahoo League that is run by a friend I've Finished as the second highest score in the leagu in 4 of my 5 losses. I'm 2nd over all in total points and borderline for the playoffs. Worst scheduling luck ever. Last seaons I had both Brady and Moss on a money league team, week one sent both of them into the shitter for the year, and my team along with it.
