You’re right, I should have. I’ve been very lax this year in my fantasy football management. I’m going to have to win out going forward to even have a shot at anything. There’s no free agent defense worth starting this week and mine is on a bye, the stars seemed to be aligning for me not to win this week, and I didn’t want to give up running back to have 3 QBs to try to win a game I probably wasn’t going to anyway.

Now watch the rest of my team do well and I lose by 5 points anyway.

Leaving Dion Lewis on my bench will kill me this week. I hate Thursday night games

Spiller for Smith would have helped us both.

Actually, wouldn’t have helped me. I think I’m going to end up with less than 20 points this week. Miserable!

Steve Smith Sr. is done, which means my team probably is too (especially since I am taking another close loss). I was already basically throwing darts at scrubs for my third receiver.

Bell is also done, so… yeah, I’m probably done too.

I do have Austin Seferian-Jenkins, who had 110 yards and two scores before going down with an injury in week 2, and should return next week. I’ll trade him for a serviceable WR and throw in Bobby Rainey (and his return yardage) if anyone wants him. Or you can have Julius Thomas for a WR2.

Or you can have Lamar Miller for a WR1 and a handful-of-carries guy.

No one wants a QB1 for cheap?

Throw in a WR and I’ll give you whatever you want.

Latavius Murray, Darren McFadden, Duke Johnson, or CJ Spiller can be had for an equally valued WR. Send offers. Or Crockett Gillmore if you need a TE.

I’ll look around at making offers when I have time, but I’m also putting up T.Y. Hilton or Brandon LaFell for a RB.

I wish you had said so earlier. I’m trading Lamar Miller for Dez Bryant but I would have given you Hillman for Hilton.

Put out some offers to teams that had more WRs than RBs. I’m a motivated seller. Someone come get Murray/McFadden/Johnson/Spiller.

Alright, trading Latavius Murray for TY Hilton. Cancelled other offers.

I put out a bunch of offers without checking the rest of the schedule too thoroughly. Hilton gets Denver this week (where Luck gets destroyed) and then a bye. So that’s 2 bad weeks of the remaining 6. Ah well.

This will go through before the Sunday games right? I’m pulling Crowell tonight if I’ll have Murray on Sunday.

Sure, I pushed it through. I’ll push through any trades made before Saturday instantly when I see them - I often just don’t notice it in the league so I tend to notice if people post about it - or on Saturday if both parties agree they want the trade to go through that week.

I assume my opponent, Overly Sentimental, has made a decision to punt this week with so many players on bye.

Arrgh. I was out reffing yesterday and didn’t see the Folk injury news. Now I’m rooting for Melvin Gordon to fumble.
