Interesting MNF battle between the Graham Quackers (my team) and TD's N Beer! (Axeman33).
I've got a 12pt lead going into the night thanks to about 12pts of garbage-time Aaron Rodgers passing & TDs late last night.
OBJ may or may not play (though I have a scrub to sub in for NYG-WR).
And Mr.Matthew "Big $$$" Stafford has huge upside.
If I limp in (with a 70-something win again) to Week 3 at 2-0, I'll be continuing to pray at my fantasy football candle weekly!

^Quite the TE battle we have this week.
Martellus Bennett was absolutely atrocious last night - seemed to drop everything except maybe two balls, I think he had 10yards (1.0pts). [Oh, he ended with 47yards... wow, guess he had some garbage time catches, cause he stunk through 3.5Q.]
And Jimmy Graham, YEESH. 1yard. One.friggin.yard. 0.1pts. Good lordy.
(Speaking of drops/passes defensed... Dez with 7 catches on 16 targets. The DEN secondary was jawing him... all over him that game. A fun watch for a Bronco-fan! (This guy))
I'm just pleased and surprised that I had a comfortable win this week. Hope it's the start of a winning streak.
I need Green to start earning that 1st round status. That whole Cincy offense is putrid right now.

Pants off dance! First time I've ever won a fantasy football matchup without starting a QB.
Friday, Vikings announced that Bradford had an MRI on his knee but was fully expected to play. Set my lineup, go to the states for the weekend, no service anywhere. Get back in to service last night with an O beside his name and a zero. Then, Denver pick 6 on the last play of the game, and 23 points from Cobb and Adams (including a 33 yard TD on 4th down to Adams) and I eke out the win. Football is fun haha.
Holy shit.
Pulled off another miracle win.

Salvaged a squeaker win last night after the Lions returned a punt for a TD... then decided they didn't need to throw another pass. (no more Stafford points)
In my defense, had I been able to attend the start of draft and take Melvin Gordon instead of OBJ, I'd be winning my first two match-ups impressively... instead of... unimpressively.
I only watched parts of the 1st half (flipped between the football game and the Leafs/Sens exhibition game) and for a minute I thought I actually had a chance to pull it off watching Stafford and the Lions move the ball.
The sad part is, it's hard for me to take guys out of my lineup who SHOULD be doing so much better than they actually are. Guaranteed, the week I take one of them out for someone else, they will go off.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Lol. The top 3 and bottom 3 in our standings should be flipped, judging by points for. Football man. In my defense I'd have the best fantasy football team ever if I'd been able to attend the draft
EDIT: NVM I'm just bad at reading lol
Yahoo gave me an F in the recap this week. Anyone else ever get an F from Yahoo?

I find it funny that I've only scored six less points than Pengwin's team, but he's 2-0 and I'm 0-2.

Yeah... fantasy football is kind of a joke.
But it sure is fun!!!
The Fantasy Football gods are cutting me some slack this year because Graham Quackers is a pretty good name.
Especially since Jimmy Graham is a lame duck!
You can't just roll out a generic past league name and expect the FFgods to cut you any slack!!!
{Ahem, "Fighting Newfs", "TDs n Beers", "Powerplay QB"... those names haven't been changed in decades!!!... your chips are stale, time for some new ones!!! LOL}
It autoassigns me the TD's and Beer so I stick with it. Maybe next season I will be more creative.
