Any chance I can get Fairbaim slotted in at kicker? I thought I had him added off the wire and into my lineup successfully, but Yahoo thinks I don’t. ---

Yeah, that’s fine. He’s on your roster and the other kicker is on bye, it’s obvious you intended to start him. ---

Well, Rodgers is off the field. That’s me dead for this week. ---

And he apparently has a broken collarbone. I’ll do my best to maintain some semblance of competitiveness so that I don’t just hand victories to other people, but that’s my season over. ---

I think I had one of my luckiest fantasy weeks ever. I picked up Josh McCown so I’d have a warm body at QB with Wilson on bye and he ends up putting up 22 points. The real luck though was that between my 3 fantasy leagues my defenses averaged 30 points. I’m not sure I’ve ever had a single defense get 30 before. Hopefully Zeke is back for the playoffs. ---

Welp. I scored zero RB points at all, but still won by .03, unless the stat correction fairy gets me. ---

Is there an option to report stat corrections? The Chargers scored a punt return TD but the DST is not getting points for it. ---

I sure hope that six points doesn’t affect any playoff rankings ---

So I just looked it up and it looks like we don’t score special teams TDs for the special teams unit, just the player who scored them. I can’t remember if there was a reason for this and we set it this way deliberately, or if it’s just the default yahoo scoring and we never changed it. We can talk about changing the scoring next year if you remind me. ---

The only return touchdowns I see in our scoring settings is under offense (so the player), not under defense. ---

Well, that was a tolerably good week for me. 194.53 seems to be the highest score this year by over 30 points. Helps to have the #1 and #2 scoring WR’s, the #3 and #4 scoring RBs, and the top defense. Of course, next week is bye week hell for me (PIT, LAC, MIN) so I’ll be lucky to score half that. Also, everybody mark your calendars - Nov 26th - GB vs Pit - JuJu vs Ha-Ha. ---

Oh my god! We’re having a fire…sale. Seriously though, I’m one and 1-7, so my entire team (Rough N Tumblers) is up for grabs. I’m not giving anyone away (because that’s not fair to anyone else), but all reasonable trade offers will be considered. ---

My utterly worthless, IR-fest team has won 3 games in a row and is significantly out of last place at 14th after starting 0-5.
