Jerome Simpson will pan out. He’s suspended for a couple of games, but he should be productive after that. ---

All three of my primary backs could end up in the top 10, and two probably will. I would have preferred to have a better fourth option than Powell, but it would have cost me dearly. Well, there’s $34 down the drain. ---

Son of a bitch. I was tailgating from 6am and couldn’t get on to check status. I almost started Morris with Stewart being questionable. If I had been around to check status I’d have 20 more points. I forgot that I honor conditional requests for just this situation. Damn. ---

141.50 points with the San Diego D still to go. Fear the newbie! ---

Blowing my wad on Kevin Smith at the end is starting to look like an almost prescient move now. ---

Yeah, the week couldn’t have turned out much better. I made the right call to put in Heath Miller at flex, and he scored. AP started and looked like his old self. Forte would have been even better if he hadn’t had to share carries (and scores) with Michael Bush, but I can’t complain about what he did. In all, 7 of my 8 non-QB offensive players scored (all except Brandon Lloyd). And RGIII was damn good. My bench sucks, but you can’t have everything. ---

Well, barring a massive performance from Ray Rice and Jacoby Jones and a massive loss by SD, I doubt I’ll be winning this matchup. Still, the majority of my players outperformed, so I’m optimistic for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, I was cheering on Randy Moss all afternoon, not realizing I left him on my bench. ---

Someone remind, when do players come off of waivers? Tuesday morning or Tuesday night? ---

Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I believe. Well, barring any major scoring adjustments, I squeaked by a win over Frosted Lightning this weekend. I’d have lost if it wasn’t for that last drive by Stafford. I had quite a few underperformances (Ant. Brown’s dropped TD, Charles not involved in any passing targets, Royster being on the Redskins, etc.). I’m going to have some serious flex/bye week issues. Should be a ride. ---

My condolences go out to the Rough and Tumblrs, who won this week’s Pancake award, by coming in 4th in total points, and still losing to the team that came in first. ---

Yeah, no kidding. I realize FAAB bids are inflated in regular leagues, and even moreso in this league, but $100?!? Wow. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > I accidentally dropped Robert Meachem instead of Devery Henderson. :smack: **Beef** , can you fix that? Yes, although I can’t put Henderson back on waivers, so in order for everyone to have a fair shot at him, I’m going to take waiver claims in PM for Henderson for the next 24 hours. If you want to pick him up on waivers, PM me a FAAB bid, highest bid gets him awarded. If no one makes a bid, he becomes a free agent at 9:30 eastern on Sep 13. ---

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player/unit with a _projected_ negative score. Has anyone? My Denver defense is projected to have -0.08 points against Atlanta.
