I’m not far ahead of you. The Arizona D is projected to score 0.32 against the Patriots. But, no, i don’t think i’ve ever seen a negative projection before. ---

Willie Parker was projected to score -0.1 points for me once. I think the projection formula thing was screwed up because he fumbled three times the previous week. ---

Argh! Yahoo player settings keep crashing my browser. Beef, can you put Donnie Avery in at WR for me? ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > I’m not far ahead of you. The Arizona D is projected to score 0.32 against the Patriots. Well, the Arizona D ended up with a very surprising 11 points against New England, and an even more surprising win in the game. Did anyone watch the game? What’s going on with Brady and the Pats’ offense? ---

I have to make up 10 points with Julio Jones and the Denver D. And I think Julio Jones can do it. Which makes me wonder - should I just bench the Denver D and go with an empty slot? I’d feel kinda stupid if Denver made a decent showing and scored a defensive TD or something, but it’s very possible Jones puts up 13 and Denver puts up -6 or something and I lose. ---

Between the Texans squashing their opponents and Fred Jackson, my season is already over. Sad face. ---

Why oh why did I bench Jeremy Maclin? And did I really just get beat by Danny Amendola??? ---

Is my entire team on the Injured list?: Hernandez, Bradshaw, Collie, Mendenhall. Murphy may as well be. Always good to read Rotoworld’s injury report on Monday morning and see two of the top three stories involve your players… And could I possibly have been more wrong on K.C. as a defense? Thinking I need to sacrifice something, make an act of contrition to get my NFL ship righted again. Oh well, there’s always Week 3. ---

Went ahead and benched the Denver D. Let’s go Julio. ---

Wouldn’t have guessed Ryan wouldn’t look left the entire game. ---

I’ve been high on Amendola for a couple seasons, as a Welker-ish guy from Tech, where there are no other targets. As a bonus, he’s a returner. But damnit. Ogletree has sucked in Dallas these past few years. Why did he get good now, after I decided he wasn’t worth the bid. He’s stealing touches from Dez and means that Harris won’t ever play, when he looked good in preseason. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Wouldn’t have guessed Ryan wouldn’t look left the entire game. Gotta say, I did not see that coming. I saw Julio and thought it was a wrap but I am glad to see that I got another shot after a rough start. ---

Until Denver’s last touchdown, dropping the Atlanta D by 4 points, I was tied with my opponent, 96.55 to 96.55 ---

May I make a sit/start request? If Steven Jackson starts, I’d like to start Johnathan Dwyer. If he doesn’t start, I’d like to start Daryl Richardson. ---

“Starts” is kind of vague and not definite before game. How about if Steven Jackson is active (suited up, playing) you’ll play him, but if he’s inactive/out Richardson? That removes any possible ambiguity. ---

I think I’ll just start Richardson, Yahoo thinks he’ll get carries regardless. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-big-league-fantasy-football-2012/628394.md?page=7) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sdmb-big-league-fantasy-football-2012/628394.md?page=9)
