Hmm, bit of a rough start - although can’t complain; Stafford and Megatron are going to be great this season. Bad first-week matchup, unless Bess can out-score Walker by 20 points… ---

Bad first-week matchup, unless Bess can out-score Walker by 20 points… Steven Jackson, on his first carry, gets me a 47 yard TD and then … he’s done after one more carry. C’mon MRI test! ---

I’ve been crazy busy in the last week and didn’t add the leftover auction money to FAABs. It’s too late to do it now, so I hope no one was planning on spending their whole load on some players this week. If so, my bad. The remaining draft dollars will be added tomorrow. ---

Redbirds has Manningham, Maclin, and a 7 point lead. Dragon Ash has Vick and White. That’s… pretty much the only close game we have left. Benders could catch me if Bradshaw went nuts and the Giants D blew hard. ---

Updated FAAB budgets to reflect leftover money from the draft. ---

Hmm, an 0-2 start wasn’t quite what I had in mind. Losing J. Charles _and_ Vick…ouch. ---

Another trade: Phoenix Redbirds (me) trades Beanie Wells and Danny Amendola to Hungry Hungry Haruspex. Hungry Hungry Haruspex sends Santonio Holmes and Reggie Bush. I’d love for this to be pushed through for tomorrow. ---

Once the trade is pushed through, my lineup is set without any adjustments. I don’t want to start Beanie tomorrow. Just a heads up. ---

Weird, I pushed the trade through the exact minute you were making that post. Hope Dale has time to make whatever adjustments he wants, because he didn’t declare what he wanted. ---

I decided to go with Beanie after all. Luckily my backup in case he doesn’t go plays Monday night. ---

Traded for Vick who broke his hand. Beanie was a quick inactive and I couldn’t load yahoo fast enough to bench him. Disastrous two trades for me this week. Very bad Sunday ---

Looks like I’m going to get my first win by the skin of my teeth, unless Fred Davis ends up with negative receiving yards. Don’t think I would have beaten any other team this week, so a bit lucky there. New addition Blount saved me, as he almost outscored Nelson, Bess and Gore combined…and now it looks like Gore is hurt as well. Sheesh… ---

I need Davis to score less than 10 points, and seeing as this is the year of the TE, that may be a lot to ask for. ---

I need Jahvid Best to outscore Julio Jones by 20 points to beat Court Jesters. Omni has to make up a 6 point gap with Jennings, Forte, and Gould against Redbird’s Starks and Pettigrew. Rocket Science needs Matt Ryan, Finley, and the Packers D to make up a 23 points against Varlos’ Hester. Crowley’s Bentley is facing his first loss unless he gets a gigantic day out of Stafford to Calvin Johnson, which is definitely possible. Ellis Dee should get his first win against Jules. Dragon Ash needs to make up a 43 point gap with White, Nelson, Young, and the Lions D with Overly Sentimental still having Rodgers to play. ---

If only the Lions could rush to run out the clock. Another rushing TD out of Best would probably do it for me… ---

Man, Freeman has seriously stunk up the joint this year. And three other players didn’t even get to 2 points. Sheesh. Now Blount is hurt, and Dallas Clark is pretty much unstartable. We need a ‘wah’ smily. ---

Crowley’s Bentley has an 18 point lead and the Jets D against my Greene and Bears D. Omni needs 51 points out of Forte, Gould, and the Vikings D to beat New New York Benders. ---

Not sure how I managed to forget to play a kicker. Not that I think it would have helped; I needed more from White & Torain. Looks like my goal in this league will be to stay out of last place… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-auction-fantasy-football-2011/587723.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-auction-fantasy-football-2011/587723.md?page=6)
