Congrats.

The first step is denial.

The second step is acceptance.

Glad to see you are moving on to step three........don't personally know what that is though bro, never made it past denial. :wink2:

 

I much happier I passed on LT and wound up with Portis and Gore

Nevertheless, LT is known for big second halves, so he's not a lost cause

my first QB (3rd round) was Derek Anderson. He got cut week 3

 

I almost want to puke at the WR crew. Certainly hope you're not starting Ginn. I'm benching LT too but I've actually got better backs (Portis, Ronnie).

 

id actually play him this week against NO... though slaton is a good play this week as well...

 

if your playing 2 RBs I would stick with LT over MJD

 

y'know, when i first glanced at the thread title, i didn't realize this was the fantasy football forum, and thought you meant you had bench pressed LT. now THAT would have been a lot more impressive that what you did :tongue2:

 

QB Jay Cutler
WR Randy Moss
WR Brandon Marshall
WR Reggie Wayne
RB Ronnie Brown
RB Clinton Portis
TE Jason Witten
K David Akers
DEF Pittsburgh
BN LaDanian Tomlinson
BN Marshawn Lynch
BN Anthony Fasano
BN Peyton Manning
BN Roy Williams

I neglect to swap bye-week players and I still win by an average of 20 points a week. I don't even bother with this one. That's championship potential.

 

how many people are in that league? by my count, 5, maybe 6 of those players would be taken in the first 2 rounds in this years draft

LT, Moss, Portis, Lynch, Manning, Wayne
and i saw witten, ronnie and williams all go as high as round 3

how in the F did you pull that off

 

A lot of them were trades for "better" ranked players. This was a pretty early draft and people thought Ronnie (drafted 9th round I believe) would share too many carries with Ricky (drafted 7th round). Marshall was a Week 2 trade after Chambers got hot. It was Witten for Winslow. Traded Favre for Cutler. And it's a 10 player league.

 

I have in an 8 team league, no flex, no defensive players. I think I have a good shot at the championship (I'm running second at 5-1-1 right now)

QB Aaron Rodgers
RB Clinton Portis
RB Frank Gore
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Santana Moss
WR Reggie Wayne
TE Owen Daniels
K Nick Folk
D Tennessee Titans

BN QB Donovan McNabb (who's starting this week)
BN WR Wes Welker
BN WR Marques Colston
BN WR Chris Chambers
BN RB Chris Johnson
BN RB Willis McGahee

 

Either that or the Jedi mind trick lessons are paying off. You will root for Penn State. *waves hand* :tongue2:

 

Tricks of the trades. Always go with your gut and always scour the waivers/FA. Lots of luck too. Another league, I needed a bye-week WR and just happened to pick up a dropped Marvin Harrison, who then had his only good game of the year. It's why I like giving advice in the fantasy threads because usually, they work out well.

 

So how'd you make out with LT on the bench? Don't give up on him, he still has KC twice and some other fav. matchups. I stuck w/ him this week and he propelled me to paydirt.

 

Maybe I'm a dick, but no way is this a real fantasy team.

Randy Moss was a first round pick in every draft I've done. LT is the #1 or #2 overall player selected (every year for the last 4-5 years). Peyton is a 1st rounder. Portis and Lynch are 1st to early 2nd rounders. Reggie Wayne was a 3rd rounder in most drafts.

So unless you're playing mentally ******ed people, literally mentally ******ed people, this draft is impossible.

I'd like to see a screen cap of the draft and the team before I could call this legit.

I benched LT this week too, for Jones Drew. MJD did ****... I figured after his last game (26 points) he would tear *** against the Browns. Nope.

LT is on Bye this week. When he gets back, he's my start for the year.

 

I believe I posted it earlier but I got a huge chunk of my players through trades and waivers for, at the time, equivalent value rankings wise.

 

Jay Cutler
Ben Roethlisberger
Michael Turner
Steven Jackson
Peyton Hillis
Andre Johnson
Steve Smith
Calvin Johnson
Ted Ginn Jr.
Chris Cooley
Jeremy Shockey
Dan Carpenter
Neil Rackers
Tampa Bay D
Philly D

 

Figures. LT has been mediocre all yr, then the last week of the yr. when most all fantasy playoffs are over...he goes off.
