I was initially concerned if forcing you to repick would end up giving it to me - I honestly don’t even look at the picks other people make before making mine. Next year we can submit picks towards the end of a season via PM to a third party maybe if we’re concerned about that.

But it didn’t matter - your old and new RB/WR were a wash and it was all about Flacco, who was your original pick anyway.

Man, I had 8 weeks with totals under 250. Sheesh, I really suck at this.

It didn’t help that you were late a lot and had limited games to pick from.

No doubt, and when I did make picks it was often at the last minute with little to no research/thought. I always want to wait until Sunday to make picks in an attempt to keep the strategy somewhat secret, however that often backfired because by the time I’d set my upmteen fantasy teams I’d usually forgotten about this.
