your non-ilnfl fantasy teams, 2007

I wish I was in that league!

My other fantasy team's a Yahoo league too, so I have no idea how I'm doing. :(

Guess who had Braylon Edwards benched today!

10,000 ppl across the country.

how many fukkin fantasy threads u need

keep it up! nice change from last week's fugliness against chicago kevin's team.

i played jorel opening week and at halftime of the sunday night game i think i was down 16 points with TO as my only hope. he had zero points when i left to go to a show, when i got home he somehow scored 22 points in the second half.

i dismembered the titans this week. my team is pretty good, even if i don't have a qb.

is it time to bench brees for favre?!? i hate my team. fucking Larry Johnson pick #3.......... there is like no amount of lineup tweaking you can do to overcome that shit.

qb -- brady
rb -- s jackson
rb -- willie parker
wr -- chad johnson
wr -- larry fitzgerald
wr -- lee evans
te -- alge crumpler
k -- robbie gould
def - minnesota

i'm 1-1, playing my gf this week. she's got peyton and addai and t.o. and i think i'm gonna lose.

qb -- Carson Palmer
qb -- Cutler or Garrard
rb -- Steven Jackson (NO HELP)
rb -- Edgerrin James
wr -- Joey Galloway (wtf?)
wr -- Lee Evans (NO HELP)
wr -- Brandon Marshall
te -- Randy McMichael (oh lawd)
k -- Neil Rackers
d -- Chicago

Also got DB/DL's in this league. I have no idea who to go to on this one since it's such a weird category. Currently got Cedric Griffin, Mike Rucker, and my last pick in the draft, former Razorback Kenoy Kennedy.

Also on the bench, Kevin Jones with some kick and punt returners that I thought would earn me some points, but no.

ok, who do i sit this week? travis henry vs. jacksonville, laurence maroney vs. buffalo, or adrian peterson vs. kansas city? i can only start two.

i'd sit maroney, purely for touchdown reasons. henry is pretty solid and a pete had like 120 total last week.

maroney isn't as integral as the other two seem to be, at least at this point. yeah i would sit him. i hope he doesn't score 3 tds now.

qb- delhomme or cutler
rb- joseph addai
rb- reggie bush
wr- t.j. housh
wr- lee evans
te- tony gonzalez
w/r- adrian peterson
def- minnesota
k- josh brown
bn- fred taylor, ladell betts, shaun mcdonald

as it stands, my team name is sniper africa and i am in first place

i'd sit maroney, purely for touchdown reasons.

he's got as many td's as henry at this point. i'm thinking of sitting peterson, i watched kc this past week and their lbs don't look too bad (they look quick anyway) which should negate some of peterson's receptions. i'm thinking this might be the week maroney finally breaks out and i've also got a feeling this is the week that shanahan does something like give hardy only 7 carries.

no matter who i sit they'll probably have a career weekend.

there is no "somehow" in t.o.'s scoring. dude is good and i feel like people forgot about him.

yeah he's good but he's also got a history of alligator arms. i'm not sad that i have him but i don't trust him either.

i dunno he's been pretty solid so far!

yeah, he's been great, i hope he keeps it up. i guess being two hours late for that and only preranking my running backs (in a league where we start one rb, one rb/wr) was a blessing in disguise.

still, jason fucking campbell as my quarterback.... wretch.

speaking of jason campbell, him vs. nyg or derek anderson vs oakland? what's the rumpus with anderson? was last week a product of him playing against cincy or his he just that much better than charlie fryeguy? brownie? anyone?

starters for this week:

hasselbeck q - could torch cincy's terrible d. but should i start delhomme against the falcons?
l. johnson rb - don't really like this matchup with minnesota
d. wynn rb/wr - vs sd? hrm...
driver wr - think the pass matchup is much better than the run...
galloway wr
heap te
steelers d
vinatieri k

in wynn's place i could start mcallister or lynch but i'm sure the latter will stink against the pats' run d...

right now and subject to change:

qb- jason campbell
rb- travis henry
rb/wr- laurence maroney
wr- terrell owens
wr- tj housiewhatzit
te- dally clark
d/st- green bay
k- jake elam

still haven't bothered to check out derek anderson and still not sure if i should sit one of the rb's and put in adrian peterson.

i think i may play roflsberger over brees :?

Everytime I've seen Anderson play I've thought he should be starting. He makes some young QB mistakes, but he's also shown signs of pretty good judgment (not to mention ability). Frye was, is and will continue to be a fucking tool.

Wynn looked awesome, just as he did when he was a Gator. And iirc, NE chewed up SD's run defense last week.

shit, he can't be much worse than campbell, maybe i'll give him a shot.

Team Dwigt:

QB: Vince Young
RB: Rudi Johnson
RB: MoJo Drew
WR: Braylon Edwards
WR: Plaxico
TE: Antonio Gates
K: Jason Elam
D/ST: Philly

Don't laugh. It's a 14-man league.

I'll tell ya one thing: If MoJo doesn't step up this week (@ Denver), he is OUTTA THERE.

He'll probably be explosive this week, simply because I'm keeping him benched.

so what's the deal with the jax defense? do they deserve the ranking they earned as last in the league in run defense or were they just caught off guard against tennessee?

Jax sucks on both sides of the ball this year so far. And I'm not sure how they'd make it better, either.

fuck i should've started lynch.

I've got him on the bench in my other league too. :(

my opponent in today's game left kevin curtis on the bench. :D

I left Curtis on the bench too.

Me = moron.

at 12:40 this morning i sat jason campbell and adrian peterson and started derek anderson and laurence maroney. at 12:45 I sat derek anderson and travis henry and started jason campbell and laurence maroney.

so far the peterson start is paying off.

i got up, took a piss, when i got back to my couch my opponent scored 20 points. wtf?

well my opponent left over 70 points on the bench so i'm excited.

looks like ronny brown (THIRTY FUCKING POINTS??!?!) and randy moss scored at the same time. if i'm gonna win i'm gonna need one of my running backs to score, green bay to take a turnover or kick back for a td, and for arizona to start putting some points on the board against the baltimore d.

i don't think all that will happen.

hey, thanks kurt warner/anquan boldin!

for fuck's sake, ronnie brown putting up FORTY GODDAMN POINTS??!?!?!?

wow, 92 points on the bench.

ok, if winslow can get shut out vs oakland and my qb, two wrs, and kicker can each average 16 points i could pull this out.

er uh good luck i guess.

yeah, probably not gonna happen. but it could if one of my wr's or the qb has a monster game to compensate for jake elam.

tj houshmandzadeh doing his part with 13 points in the first quarter.

Go Housh.

OK I THOUGHT THE SAMKON GADO-ERA DAYS OF RANDOM PACKERS RBS GETTING 14 PTS A GAME WAS STILL HAPPENING!!!! WHAT HAPPENED DESHAWN WYNN?????

well brandon jackson had 10 points.

i didn't start him ;_;

Still, I'm not going to trade Wynn away. Based on how he played in college, I know performance like Week 2 wasn't a freak occurence. He just needs more touches.

He just needs more touches.

don't we all.

RB issues:

my starters are willie parker and steven jackson. my bench dudes are adrian peterson and marion barber III. i have no rb/wr slot, so there's no where else to stick those guys. would you consider benching either willie or jax for either of those bench guys?

steven jackson is out i guess! i will go with marion barber III

i finally won :D ronnie brown - all is forgiver. larry johnson, we still got beef.

hey dudes, is Suicide Pool okay here?

Looking at Dallas hosting Jacksonless Rams or Angry San Diego hosting KC and Angry LJ...

Dallas, easy.

But remember... each team can only be used ONCE...

Yeah, I know...but the Rams are probably THE MOST inept team in the league this season. I'd even take Cleveland or Oakland or maybe even the Falcons over the Rams right now.

yeah the rams looked fuckin' terrible in last week's game...

holy shit, stence, our other league sets fucking point spreads for our teams!! we're both underdogs this week, if one were to wager on a fantasy game (let's ignore the sad, desperate aspect of that for now), i would be getting four points. you'd be getting 14 and are going up against the team expected the score the most in the league.

i couldn't decide between dallas and san diego in my suicide pool, i took san diego because i'm wary about going against teams that are winless. they have to win a game some time.

that's gotta be a fluke, no way dude's 1-2 team is scoring more points than anyone else. plus in the preview thing, it has me winning.

if you go to the league home then go to "scoreboard" there will be two subtabs, one for "results" the other for "game lines". go to the game lines. the preview thing is based on the H&V predictions which have been so inaccurate that espn actually took them out of their "who to start" thing from their "experts".

oh, hey, now you're a 1 point favorite. and the dude you're playing they have scoring 115 points, second most in the league this week, and losing. i'm still a four point dog, 104-108.

http://games.espn.go.com/ffl/gamelines?leagueId=224480

well there's no way i'm scoring 116 points. my opponent has both mcnabb and westbrook, which must be throwing everything off. there's no way they repeat last week's performance against the giants.

that i am asking this question is proof enough that i'm fucked this week anyway, but who should i start - Muhsin Muhammed or Donte' Stallworth? both largely ignored so far this season, both against terrible pass defenses, 1 new QB in the mix.

is there a good case to be made for either man? help me, ILNFL.

STALLWORTH!

he's the guy with the first string quarterback throwing to him. moose has a guy who couldn't beat out rex grossman in camp throwing to him.

i made a late substitution of travis henry in place of adrian peterson. not looking like the right choice right now.

Yeah, I know...but the Rams are probably THE MOST inept team in the league this season. I'd even take Cleveland or Oakland or maybe even the Falcons over the Rams right now

Well, between 'em Cleveland, Oakland, the Falcons and KC managed to knock out about half of my pool. 125 entered in Week 1, 37 move on to Week 5.

66-48, not bad considering joey galloway didn't score a single fucking point. ugh.

f.u. --

willie parker
marion barber III
alge crumpler
kevin curtis

i lucked out going against harrison this week. t.o. only gave me 3 points so i figured i was screwed. i think i'm up about 12 or 15 going into tonight against brady and the cincy kicker. i have maroney and tj housh.

Holy crap, Darren Sproles! I took a longshot and it paid off!

i think i'm in some trouble this week, because s-jax is going to be out again, adrian peterson and chad johnson are on bye, as is my minnesota defense. i'm debating on whether to put in marion barber or edgerrin james at rb. my wr slots are ok. i picked up houston's defense against miami, which might be the bad move. oh well.

i think i won by 3 points despite having maroney in my lineup.

travis henry, what the fuck i ask you, what the fuck?

next week: bench larry johnson, start deshaun wynn? yikes.

goddamn i need marshawn lynch to score 11 points tomorrow to win. ;_;

i need a combined 23 points from nick folk and t.o. to tie. i got nailed by maroney being out, peterson & houshmandzadeh being on bye, and then deion branch, travis henry, and deshaun foster all taking the week off.

luckily the dude i'm playing left 3 of his top four scorers on the bench this week.

t.o. could maybe put up those numbers against the bills by himself.

otm ;_;

Yeah, T.O. is probably good for 2 tds and 100 yards by himself tomorrow night. Folk will probably get 2 or 3 fgs and who knows how many point-afters.

i'm afraid the c-boys will get out to an early lead then run run run without to having much to do.

ONLY FOUR POINTS TO TIE, C'MON MARSHAWN.

PS WTF KIND OF NAME IS MARSHAWN?

AN AWESOME NAME

TRUE BUT I LOST BY ONE POINT

ONE FUCKING POINT

dang, looks like i lost. my team won't load from espn's site but my record is now 3-2 so i guess folk/owens didn't give me the 23 points i needed. oh well, bound to happen when the henry/foster tandem gave me a total of 10 points or whatever.

dang, lost by 5, that's a killer. i switched out my qb, rb, rb/wr, te, and one of my wr's for the upcoming week. nothing like a 62.5% turnover rate in your lineup from one week to the next.

goddamit espn isn't updating.

espn is updating for me! peterson just busted a 67 yard td for me.

goddamnit h, i switched over to check the score of your game and everyone scored zero points. so when i went back to my game it showed everyone on my team and the opponents having zero points.

shit, my other espn league is working.... wtf?

fucked up, man. sorrys.

Live scoring is currently not available. We are working to get the problem resolved as quickly as possible.

housh and peterson gave me a combined 70 points.

brutal.

in the meantime, why did i start todd heap?

ugh, it's still halfway through the first quarter and LDT has 18 points. i'm gonna need every point that peterson gave me...

anderson= 28
peterson= 44
housh= 28

100 points just from those three and i still have a great chance at losing. mike stover gave my opponent 18 points and the aforementioned tomlinson is going off.

deshaun foster, any time you want to make an appearance on the scoring sheet is fine with me big fella.

r.i.p.

thanks nick folk, i needed those three points plus i'm going against the pats d.

i'm up 42 with owens, nick folk, and deshaun foster still playing. opponent has tomlinson and pats d/st as well as bobby engram in the late game.

ldt goes for 46 points and if i lose this week i'm gonna snap.

as long as bobby engram doesn't go off for 26 points i'm good.

I've got Engram on my bullshit side fantasy team, and I need 5 points out of him tonight.

i have brady, ade peterson, and braylon edwards on my team. i don't think i needed to start anyone else, tbh!

wow, i think i'm gonna get smoked this week.
also, i was looking at the stats and it looks like everyone has a career week when they play me. 543 points against? there's one team that has less than 400 points against. most are below 450. wtf?

hey, as long as dallas clark scores two more points than addai and harrison combined i'll win my matchup!!

thanks for that one point week jason campbell, couldn't have done this without you. great week to go against brady too.

Thats what Neil Rackers snagged me. luckily I had the Iggles awesome D to make up for it w/ 2 pts. Two weeks in a row Larry Jo shows up and I lose both of 'em goddamnit.

i'm hoping for some sort of collision during the colts pregame warm ups.

oh ronnie brown.... bye bye season

holy fuck dally clark just tied the game for me!! FUMBLE JOE ADDAI, FUMBLE!!!

ok so i'm in 2nd place because i tied. THANKS FOR NOT GIVING ME TWO POINTS JASON CAMPBELL.

Yeah, Campbell screwed me in my non-ILNFL league too. If I'd know Kurt Warner was going to play (and be effective), I'd have started him instead. 15 points...wasted!

wtf espn.com, how many weeks does this have to happen before you fix it? i'm sick of seeing:

Live scoring is temporarily unavailable. We are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible.

my running backs are giving me headaches this season. willie parker can't score, steven jackson is always injured, ade peterson had to go and fuck up his knee or something, and marion barber seems to have taken a backseat to the tony and t.o. show. actually the rbs aren't bad compared to my WRs, which includes lee evans, chad johnson, and larry fitzgerald. thank christ for braylon edwards, though.

I'm glad I picked this year to be my first non-fantasy year in a long time, because I'm pretty sure I'd have gone insane by now.

marion barber seems to have taken a backseat to the tony and t.o. show.

This is giving me serious fits in ilnfl.

I need Marques Colston to outplay Roddy White tonight if I wanna make the playoffs. Keep throwing, Brees, keep throwing!

phew

I'm dead in the water. Guess who didn't play Kevin Jones against the Cowboys?

Also see: Cutler, Jay.

Please please please talk me out of starting the Texans defense tonight.

uh yeah truly, dont dont dont

i'm up against brady in the first rd of playoffs this wk. fuck me.

My other choices:
49ers (vs. Bengals)
Bengals (@ 49ers)
Bills (@ Browns)
Browns (vs. Bills)
Cardinals (@ Saints)
Chiefs (vs. Titans)
Dolphins (vs. Ravens)
Eagles (@ Cowboys)
Falcons (@ Bucs)
Jets (@ Patriots)
Lions (@ Chargers)
Panthers (vs. Seattle)
Raiders (vs. Colts)
Rams (vs. Packers)
Redskins (@ Giants)
Saints (vs. Cardinals)

Please please please talk me out of starting the Texans defense tonight.

Hope no one talked you out of it. LOL @ Broncos.

Well they only ended up with 11 fantasy points, so maybe it's a good thing I pulled them at the last minute. I think I'll go with the Bengals instead. San Francisco's complete garbage.

I am such an idiot.

Game hasn't even been played yet! cheer up snrub!

hey you going to the Browns game tomorrow?

Nah. It's gonna be cold as hell, and the whole time I'll just be stressing about fantasy football.

Although if the second half of tonight's game is anything like the first, I'm probably already dead. DO SOMETHING RUDI JOHNSON FOR FUCK'S SAKE!!! AND HOW BOUT SOME DEFENSIVE TOUCHDOWNS?

damn there's a game tonight. I had no idea!

And I'm already fucking pissed off because I can't watch this fucking game on TV because it's on the fucking NFL Network so the only way I have any idea what is going on is by checking out cbssportsline.com, but there's so much shit they don't tell you. Like why the fuck is Kenny Watson playing?

LOLOOOLLOLOL: brady's playing to a -1

i <3 winter!

I'm tied up with my opponent, but he's still got Desmond Clark tomorrow night. WAAAAH!

due to a weird-assed scoring system where it combines last weeks total with this weeks total i need adrian peterson to give me 39 points and the vikings d to give my opponent 0 points for me to tie my playoff game. last week my team gave me 42 total points. way to shit the bed the one time i needed you fellas.

o wau! Desmond Clark was a dud tonight. What happens when there's a tie in the playoffs, anyone know?

champion

champion too

In my other league, in my flex slot, should I start the 55th best WR or the 15th best TE? My options are guys like Andre Roberts, Mohammed Sanu, Greg Little, or guys like Martellus Bennett, Brent Celek, Fred Davis... None of them are very attractive options.

fred davis i am telling u, especially this match up

bennett is gonna be a good TE to have around too, altho i would certainly take davis over him this week

Oops Fred Davis isn't available. :(

WHERE IS OPTIMAL LINEUP
