Huh, turns out when Stafford isn’t awful I can win. What’s weird is that I know I’m awful but if I had won those 2 games I had back to back that were like \<2 point games I could somehow be 4-3 right now. Also, RNATB drops to second place with a loss since Baltimore Weirdos crushes him in score tiebreaker. ---

And so my mighty streak comes to an end. I thought head-to-head record was the primary tiebreaker? ---

Everyone on my team is available except for Jimmy Graham and Taiwon Jones. Looking only for keeper prospects. My team (despite being in the middle of the league in terms of points scored) has no shot at the playoffs, so I’m obviously willing to overpay a bit, but out of respect to the league and in memory of the NY Fanboys, I won’t do anything ridiculous like Drew Brees for a fringe keeper. If we’re allowed to do players for future picks (which I don’t think has ever come up), I’ll listen. Notable players available: Brees, Malcom Floyd, Michael Turner, Reggie Bush, Donald Brown. Will include #1 waiver priority to sweeten any deal (don’t have to get crazy with that, just tell me whenever you want me to put in a claim, will drop one of my shitty players and be fine dropping to 14th). ---

I am really, really glad that Dave can’t keep Doug Martin next season. I am also (as a Bucs fan) really, really glad that I was wrong about him. ---

Bwahaha! [QUOTE=Yahoo! recap] 9 Inch Neils (RNATB) got the second-highest score of the season to stomp Crabby Hermits 150.93 - 61.67. This was a truly solid beating, with the 89.26-point margin of victory being the highest recorded in the league this season. All nine starters for 9 Inch Neils (RNATB) scored higher than the leading scorer for Crabby Hermits. Three of the six losses for Crabby Hermits this season have come when their opponent had their highest-scoring week of the season. The margin of victory of 89.26 points set the record as the biggest in the league this season. This matchup featured both the highest-scoring team and the lowest-scoring team in the league this week. Crabby Hermits scored 61.67 points against a projected 91.58 and has underachieved every week this season. This was the second time this season that Crabby Hermits lost by the week’s biggest margin. Crabby Hermits was last in the league in scoring for the fourth time this season. The RBs on 9 Inch Neils (RNATB) collectively had their best week of the season with 52.30 points. [/QUOTE] ---

I know bitching about fantasy football is passe, but I just want it noted for the record that I’ve now lost both MJD, and Darren McFadden to injuries at the RB position. Luckily, I knew McFadden was an injury risk, so I’ve been holding onto his handcuff, Mike Goodson who … promptly got injured. Add in that the latest injuries happen to fall on the same week that 2 of my other running backs are on bye this week, and I get to start a waiver wire pickup. _sigh_ ---

Since we’re now halfway through the season, I think it’s time for a _mea culpa_. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > > [@](#): > > > > Baltimore Weirdos > > 1 -1 Arian Foster(Hou - RB) > > 2 -28 Doug Martin(TB - RB) > > 3 -29 Miles Austin(Dal - WR) > > 4 -56 Eric Decker(Den - WR) > > 5 -57 Robert Griffin III(Was - QB) > > 6 -84 Anquan Boldin(Bal - WR) > > 7 -85 Titus Young(Det - WR) > > 8 -112 Rob Gronkowski(NE - TE) > > 9 -113 Ronnie Hillman(Den - RB) > > 10 -140 Baltimore(Bal - DEF) > > 11 -141 Andy Dalton(Cin - QB) > > 12 -168 Brent Celek(Phi - TE) > > 13 -169 Bernard Scott(Cin - RB) > > 14 -196 Devin Hester(Chi - WR) > > 15 -197 Sebastian Janikowski(Oak - K) > > 16 -224 Ronnie Brown(SD - RB) > > The Good: well, Arian Foster and Gronk are the #1 players at their positions. He’s got Miles Austin, who always has the _potential_ to be a #1-type player at his position. He’s got Titus Young, who could produce #1 numbers in that offense. Boldin has the highest floor of anyone you could have in the sixth round. I don’t know if your strategy was affected by losing Austin as a keeper at the last minute (and sorry about that), but if so you recovered well. > > The Okay: Doug Martin certainly won’t be terrible, but he certainly won’t be great. I think you overpaid for him, but not by much. > > The Bad: even if he pans out, RGIII is a #2 fantasy quarterback this year. Dalton had an all-time-great rookie season for a QB last year and had only 3,400 yards and 20 TDs. You could have had Big Ben or Philip Rivers at that spot (though I’m glad you didn’t) and you took a questionmark. Okay, so I was wrong about RGIII. And Doug Martin. And I didn’t mention Decker at all in my review. I I _thought_ this team would be mediocre, but… well, fuck. Right now, Dave has the #3 QB (though he’s on a bye this week and will probably be #6 after it), the #1 and 2 RBs (and Martin would still be #10 even if you took away all his points from last week), the #7 and 17 WRs, and the #1 TE. I have the #8 QB, #3 and 5 RBs, #6, 14 and 21 WRs, the #2 TE, #2 K, and #4 and 6 DEFs. We’re both pretty much locks to make the playoffs at this point; we are both three games and 100+ points up over the 5th and 6th placed teams, and we each have a win over one of them. I found an interesting tool called “draft day projections” I’d never noticed before, which predicts record based on the teams that were drafted. It has Dave’s team at 10-4 (interestingly, Jules would have gone 13-1), but it has mine at 4-10. I don’t understand that at all; I drafted all but one of my starters (Owen Daniels). ---

I am in trouble. AP and Marshawn Lynch go on byes this week, and Andre Brown is also on his bye. So, I’m crossing my fingers and praying Mendenhall comes back this week, and I need to trade for another RB. I’m sending out a few offers, but feel free to make me one. You can have Brown for anyone who reliably gets ten carries a game (looking at you, Saints RB owners) or Andre Johnson/Mike Williams for anyone a bit better. For someone good you can have Johnson/Williams _and_ Brown, and for someone really good you can have all three. Philip Rivers is available, too. ---

Hey – I missed the draft, and my preranking took two kickers for me. After the league draft, I picked up Vick Ballard and dropped said kicker. I posted on the league board that I wanted to count Ballard my last-round pick, and nobody objected. Just want to double-check that that’s cool with everybody. ---

Interesting matchups this week: the two teams fighting for the last playoff spot (Omniscients and Off Constantly) have to play me and Dave. Then they have to play each other next week. That means the next two teams, No Use for a Name and Hungry Hungry Haruspex, have a shot to turn the end of the playoff bracket upside down - and they’re playing each other _this_ week. Dave and I can clinch playoff spots if we win this week. ---
