Tough, tough game.
I need Dallas/Philly to be a shootout. I also need Matt Ryan to light up, but somehow not use Tony Gonzalez. Matt Ryan vs. CAR > Carolina @ ATL Jennings vs. NO = Marshall @ DAL Green @ JAX = T. Smith vs. CLE Bryant vs. CHI < Lloyd @ BUF McCoy vs. NYG > Richardson @ BAL A. Brown @ PHI = LeShoure vs. MIN Bennett @ PHI < Gonzalez vs. CAR Hartley @ GB > Gould @ DAL Houston D vs. TEN < Seattle D @ STL |

My draft, a far-too-early review:
1. RB LeSean McCoy, Eagles -- Underwhelming returns so far, still healthy & working. 2. WR Greg Jennings, Packers -- Sidelined by injury from Week 1. Still waiting. 3. RB Matt Forte, Bears -- Underwhelming and injured. Waiting for a couple more weeks. 4. WR AJ Green, Bengals -- Has played very well. 5. WR Dez Bryant, Cowboys -- Underwhelming, but still holding out hope. 6. QB Matt Ryan, Falcons -- Once again, an absolute dynamic talent. 7. RB Mark Ingram, Saints -- Total failure. Has since been replaced by Tashard Choice. 8. QB Andrew Luck, Colts -- Solid reserve against shit defenses. 9. WR Nate Washington, Titans -- Solid reserve performance. 10. RB David Wilson, Giants -- Total failure. Has since been replaced by Andre Brown. 11. Houston Defense -- Has not delivered much of anything. Still waiting. 12. TE Jared Cook, Titans -- Middling results, dumped for a better option in Martellus Bennett. 13. RB Rashad Jennings, Jaguars -- Benched immediately in MJD's return. Replaced by DeAngelo Williams. 14. WR Kendall Wright, Titans -- Gave me one decent week, has since been scrapped for Pierre Garcon. 15. K John Kasay, Saints -- Wasn't even the Saints' kicker, lol. Graham Hartley. |

Ugh.
Forte is still out, but Ahmad Bradshaw and Fred Jackson are both likely to return this week. |

My RB2 situation just got very complicated:
Andre Brown @ PHI Ahmad Bradshaw has returned, and will be starting. They are suggesting that Brown could get the early-down work and be the goal line back. Philly is a tough defense. Tashard Choice vs. NE Fred Jackson is probably back, but he's running in a brace that he hates. He's also coming back at a shockingly fast pace from an LCL. The Bills are probably going to want to bring him along slowly. Choice would be the feature back in that case. The Pats have a tough defense. DeAngelo Williams @ ATL Williams is in a timeshare with Mike Tolbert and a recovering Jonathan Stewart. He's not receiving the goal line work, so god knows what Ron Rivera is organizing here. The Falcons have a tough defense. Lance Ball vs. OAK (scrap heap) Willis McGahee is discussed as "questionable" after leaving a tough game with a rib bruise. If he plays, he swallows up all the work. If he doesn't, Ball and Moreno get the touches, and the coaches hate Moreno. Oakland has a soft defense. Pierre Thomas @ GB (scrap heap) Pierre Thomas is getting more of the carries than Mark Ingram, who just looks horrific. Thomas is active in the passing game as well. Green Bay's defense is poor. If Fred Jackson is a scratch --> Choice If Fred Jackson plays --> Brown If Fred Jackson plays AND Willis McGahee is a scratch --> Ball |

And now a new complication: Matt Forte is practicing, and says he will play on Monday night.
Arg. Willis McGahee is also probable. So Lance Ball is out of consideration. |

Took a swing at a trade for RB Chris Johnson.
Why not. His value is never going to be lower, and who the hell knows if he is going to figure stuff out eventually. Sent a trade offering the lowest player on my depth chart, DeAngelo Williams. The owner may be simply fed up with him and want to get rid of him. |

Fred Jackson getting a lot of positive buzz. Tashard Choice is looking like he's out.
Pierre Thomas was picked off the scrap heap today. So it's come down to Andre Brown and... dare I trust him, Matt Forte. There's an outside chance the Chris Johnson deal lands, in which case he'd become an option, too. But I'd probably just sit on him for a while. |

Right out of the ****ing gate, Torrey Smith lands a 50 yard TD.
This is going to be a long week. |

Now Trent Richardson has scored.
Firs thalf isn't even over, and my opponent has put up over 25 points. |

Well, with Graham Hartley's miss, I trail my opponent by 6 points with Sunday night & Monday night's game left.
My remaining players: Dez Bryant, LeSean McCoy, Andre Brown, and Martellus Bennett. His remaining players: Brandon Marshall and Robbie Gould. This week's got to be mine. |

Well Bennett and Brown gave me jack shit. Not even two points between them.
But McCoy's master performance, though it came without a touchdown, does give me a 10 point lead heading into tomorrow. It is going to be really, really tight. Dez Bryant and my 10 point lead vs. Brandon Marshall and Robbie Gould. ARRRGGGGGGG |

I don't know if you're in a keeper league or not but now is when you can start getting sweet trades vs. knee-jerk owners.

This is amazing. I am 3rd in the league in scoring, but now am in 9th place. This is 2011 all over again. It's gotten so bizarre that Yahoo's recap feature provided me this golden statistic: Quote:

This season has also been an injury whack-a-mole.
Greg Jennings is out for a few, but comes back when Matt Forte goes down. Matt Forte comes back when Jennings goes down. And on we go. To help beef up my RB backups, I picked up the least pathetic RB on the market, Jackie Battle, dropping Tashard Choice. Meanwhile, Aaron Hernandez and Michael Bush just hit the open market. Hernandez is a really enticing guy, but I refuse to bow to Martellus Bennett's shit performance this week. Bennett's been too valuable up to this point. Bush, meanwhile, would be very valuable as a handcuff to Matt Forte. I've put in a waiver wire claim for Bush (replacing Battle), and I'm going to wait out what I hear about Hernandez as the week wears on. I'd like to add him, but that raises the question of who I'd have to cut to make room. QB Matt Ryan Andrew Luck WR AJ Green Dez Bryant Pierre Garcon Nate Washington Greg Jennings (out?) RB LeSean McCoy Matt Forte Andre Brown DeAngelo Williams Jackie Battle TE Martellus Bennett K Graham Hartley Def Houston Texans |
