I’m fine with adjusting an absent owner’s lineup to the Yahoo best projected lineup, I’d be glad if it was me that was unexpectedly absent I am pissed beyond belief at myself for starting Cutler over Dak Prescott. I figured the Phins would have a field day over the Jets and I didn’t want to get a last minute Monday surprise with Prescott. I know I got negative points one week with JaMarcus Russell , but this has got to be one of the worst non injury performances by a QB I’ve had in this league. ---

Every decision I made this week has been wrong for absolutely no explicable reason. It’s one thing to guess and be wrong, it’s another to make a good decision using the best information possible and be wrong because…? Because no fucking reason? Every year I forget why I hate fantasy football, only to be reminded this game offers no joy. It is a perfect microcosm of life. > [@Omniscient](#): > > So…Tarik Cohen. I projected him to go in the late third round of our draft based on rookie draft lists and the like, so my critique was really just based on that. He’ll end up being a great pick (again, I love him as a player and he was on my targets list pre-draft), but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t also overdrafted. But sometimes you have to overdraft your guys because you won’t get another chance at them. I admit I overdrafted Marlon Mack, but I’m glad I did. So far, anyway. > [@dalej42](#): > > I am pissed beyond belief at myself for starting Cutler over Dak Prescott.

I know I got negative points one week with JaMarcus Russell , but this has got to be one of the worst non injury performances by a QB I’ve had in this league. If 12.40 points is one of the worst performances you’ve had, you’re living a charmed life, my friend. I rarely to never get more than 16 or so, and I’m lucky to get 20. I’ve already had an 8.40 this year, and when I finally start my 20+ ppg backup QB, he promptly gives me 13.50. Cool. ---

I’ve said plenty on why I think basing analysis off comparisons to random lists is silly. In this case, the Bears saw enough in the first 2 weeks of the preseason to know he was special, then they basically shut him down. Most list makers, only moonlighting as FFL writers, don’t watch all the games and spend too much time looking at preseason stat sheets, depth charts and NFL draft ratings. ---

All while being afraid to play Bortles in London against the Ratbirds who put up frigging 30. So yeah, picking QBs when you don’t have a star who’s healthy is fraught. ---

I got negative 3 from Andy Dalton (who played the entire game) in week 1. I’m fine with the best projected lineup adjustment. Looks like I’m going to knock off Beef in what was ultimately a fairly disappointing game. Kareem Hunt could have had 200 years today but the Chiefs are oddly reluctant to run the ball.

Look like the was a last second TD and some garbage time yards, when I posted that Cutler was had about 3 fantasy points and had been stuck at 1.7 for most of the game against the pathetic Jets. ---

Yay for my first win! But has there ever been zero undefeated teams at the end of week 3? Seems awfully early. ---

I have the Texans and Rams defenses. I started the Texans week 1, and the Rams in the other two games. So far this season, my starting defenses have scored a grand total of 2 points. The ones I haven’t started have scored _55_. I hate this game sometimes. ---

> [@Justin\_Bailey](#): > > Yay for my first win! But has there ever been zero undefeated teams at the end of week 3? Seems awfully early. I was just thinking about that yesterday. I think it’s a scheduling quirk; I’ve played Stringer and Beef already, when normally the week 2 game would have been a divisional one. Plus, Stringer and Retro have already played each other. Since we have the four top teams all having played one another early, we’ve all split games. ---

As something that is unexpected i have a winning record, and if the season ended today is be in the playoffs :D. Proposal: end the season after week 3. ---

I feel like I should be starting Chris Thompson over Lamar Miller even though he’s just a third down back. His first 3 weeks scoring were 14, 24, and 27 points. I mean, that’s probably not a fluke, right? I’m also giving some thought to giving Josh Gordon a start even though he’s still suspended. The suspension will definitely slow him down a lot but I feel like he can probably still get 70/1. ---

Someone reported based on the reports of some random dude on an airplane, a random uber driver, and a comparison of headboards in a selfie compared to the furnishings of a hotel the uber driver was known to be near, Josh Gordon is now in Cleveland. Yes, that CSI shit is the level of importance and scrutiny people are putting on The Great One.
