We remove the worst position-week. Since we only have 2 weeks to work with, your score for that position will be whatever your best week was at that position. But at the end of the year your worst/dropped QB week could be week 2, RB week 7, WR week 9, etc. With that in mind, anything wrong with it? Double check everything. ---

**SenorBeef** , I think you need to add a blank row of cells in RNATB’s name column to push down their numbers. Of course, you will have to remove a blank row of cells after to keep everyone else’s data in the correct position. If you look, RNATB’s weekly totals are being displayed in the WR row instead of under it. ---

Picking Steve Smith at WR for tonight, rest of them later. Fixed the RNATB issue, anything else? ---

I’m going to switch to spiller. Richardson will be bad ass all year but I want to use spiller before Jackson is back. I think the browns will have a pretty decent answer for spilled though - worried he gets about 70.
