Well....I just read that Ingram is out. So Thomas and Sproles are going to have to pickup the work.

Hmm....I think you have to play Sproles at this point.

 

[Aharami]

will they be starting pierre thomas over sproles though?

There's no "starting" RB in NO's plan. That's half the fun/insanity of trying to play them. It's totally dependent on how the game is played out. If NO gets up early, then they'll pound it out on the ground with PT. If it's tight, you'll see a lot of passes to Sproles out of the backfield for 3-8 yards a reception with the potential of breaking one off for a 20 yard score.

Please let it be known that I've picked up Grossman off the waivers this AM. I almost started him over Vick. I fully expect him to break his hand. Have his throwing arm fall off, or get turf thumb or something given my QB history in the last 8 weeks.

I can't decide whether to start Steven Jackson or CJ Spiller here in round 1 of the playoffs. I'm #2 and the #3 guy has Jimmy Graham and is probably in tears...

Ah, it's that time of year where I question why I ever play FF in the first place. All but one of my teams are eliminated now.

I thought that my team of Matt Stafford, Greg Jennings, AJ Green, Brandon Marshall, Chris Johnson, Frank Gore, Marshawn Lynch and Rob Gronkowski was as close to a lock to win that I've ever had. Was favored to win by 25, currently losing by 47 thanks to bullshit like antonio brown, mjd, and detroit. FML

edro is lucky this is a two week playoff

 

[Aharami]

well looks like Im off the playoffs in my league. Now I can actually enjoy the games instead watching my scores all the time

 

[Chaotic42]

They sat Aaron Rodgers with 22 points. Awesome. I need Cruz to get 1.25 fewer points than Dan Baley for me to win.

lol yeah!

I still have a lot of ground to make up!

 

[ghost recon88]

Jennings out with an MCL tear, and who knows how long Murray is out. Means I'll go 12-1 in the regular season, only to lose in the first round of the playoffs next week

Pick up Driver, he's available in most leagues.

 

[Chaotic42]

Bailey's failed kick knocked me out. I am as stunned as I can remember being.

of all the shitty ways to get knocked out...that is terrible...

 

[crownjules]

LOL of course on my bye week my team decides to rack up the points. Gronk, MJD, Brandon Jacobs, Lions D/ST, and Matt Ryan all had monster games.

96.58-94.14

Oh I am going to get a shiiiitstorm at work tomorrow. I was on a 10 game winning streak. Looks like #1, #2 (me), #3, and #4 all got knocked out in the first round.

 

[KLin]

3 players below me all win, I lose leads to a 4 way tie record wise. 3 out of 4 are in the playoffs. I think I'm in the playoffs by about 6 points plus or minus a couple.

 

[edro]

I was a 50 point favorite, but my opponent had MJD, Lions D/ST.
I lost by 10 points.
Luckily!!! this is a 2 week ESPN playoff.
I still have a chance!

 

[slayer202]

come on imported, knock out edro!!

 

[SunnyD]

As much as I hate to see players hurt, I'd like to thank those who made this week's win happen:

Adrian Peterson (Leslie Frasier for calling him inactive this week)
DeMarco Murray (Sucks because because his rookie season has officially come to an end)
Ahmad Bradshaw (Thank you for violating team rules and being benched for the first half of the game and having a mostly ineffective 2nd half)

Of course next week I totally expect to get raped by a score of 270 to 3, given the two week total playoff system in the league, meaning I'll lose this round of the playoffs overall.

 

[TangoJuliet]

I am up by 1.6 points with the other team done. I have Seattle DST tonight.

Do I risk having any stat corrections done and bench Seattle or roll the dice and play them. Our league does negative scoring after giving up 28 points I believe.

I think I'm going to bench them with hopes of no corrections

2-week playoff? Oh man.. Didn't even realize and I got all excited.

 

[weirdichi]

So is it time to drop Forte now? I could pick up Felix Jones, but have to drop either Forte or Kevin Smith.
