I look forward to the challenge. I’m having to figure who will be the hot hand at WR, as Case Keenum to Andre Johnson is a longshot. I’m looking forward to the return of Rodgers, which should be a boost for Jordy Nelson. Sadly, I have to find yet another tight-end, as all three on my roster are hurt.

Best of luck to you, **Gaffer** , just as long as it’s just a touch less luck than I get. This looks like a great match-up 30 minutes before gametime. I wonder what I’ll think in 60 minutes.

A complete failure by my team, top-to-bottom and bench too. Congrats, **Gaffer**.

Hey **D\_Odds** , just got back to my computer this morning. I was checking scores all afternoon but couldn’t remember who you had started but thought that things looked pretty good for me, especially after D. Thomas and Garcon in the early games. In any case, thanks… but that sucked. Man, I definitely thought that was going to be closer than it was.

Great season, guys. Laying an egg in the final game always seems to happen, doesn’t it? Just highlights the randomness of the NFL week-to-week. Looking at your rosters, it’s amazing to see what waiver-wire work can do, as well as waiting for value in the draft.

Yeah, I was really struck by the roster churn last week when Peterson was out. Looking back, here is my Week 1 roster and my Week 15 roster. I’ve always thought that, generally, fantasy is comprised of 1/3 draft, 1/3 roster management (waiver, trades, start/sits), and 1/3 luck but, sometimes, it seems to really get weighed heavily in one direction. I would say that i didn’t have a great draft, but my roster management was excellent and I got super lucky avoiding the injury bug.

Week 1  
QB: Andrew Luck  
WR: D. Thomas  
WR: Pierre Garcon  
RB: Adrian Peterson  
TE: Kyle Rudolph  
Flex: Chris Johnson  
Flex: Lamar Miller  
K: Robbie Gould  
Def: Arizona

Week 15  
QB: Philip Rivers  
WR: D. Thomas  
WR: Pierre GArcon  
RB: Rashad Jennings  
TE: Vernon Davis  
Flex: Andre Brown  
Flex: Le’veon Bell  
K: Steven Hauschka  
Def: Carolina

My roster has barely changed over the weeks. Obviously, Owen Daniels had to be changed, but all the other skill players were viable week 16 starters. I figuratively flipped a coin on starting Colston or Baldwin, the latter whom I picked up just this week.

Week 1:  
QB: Drew Brees  
WR: Andre Johnson  
WR: Marques Colston  
RB: Marshawn Lynch  
TE: Owen Daniels  
W/R: Jordy Nelson  
W/R: Mike Wallace  
K: Josh Brown  
Def: Indianapolis

Week 16:  
QB: Drew Brees  
WR: Andre Johnson  
WR: Jordy Nelson  
RB: Marshawn Lynch  
TE: Dennis Pitta  
W/R: Doug Baldwin  
W/R: Mike Wallace  
K: Phil Dawson  
Def: Detroit

ETA: I got a draft grade of C by Yahoo! Shows what they know.

How about some sour grapes:  
Drew Brees, W16: 281 yds, 1 TD, 2 Int, 6 sacks  
Drew Brees, W17: 381 yds, 4 TD, 0 Int, 1 sack

Jordy Nelson, W16: 3/46 yds  
Jordy Nelson, W17: 10/161 yds

Marshawn Lynch, W16: 71 yds rush, 0 TD / 2/5 yds rec  
Marshawn Lynch, W17: 97 yds rush, 1 TD / 1/4 yds rec

The week 17 performances are what got me to the Championship. I don’t know what happened week 16, where the only guys beating predictions were a pair of TEs on my bench.
