Heh, a big game by Romo would likely screw me in the Auction League, where I’m in a 4-way tie for first place. I care about my Dynasty League team a lot more, though. ---

He’s on pace for 2.3 points. That’ll hold up. ---

Oh Fantasy Football. If Romo puts up shit numbers, Beef rolls over Varlos and keeps him further back in our division. But if Romo doesn’t throw it to Jason Witten, I have no hope of coming back against RNATB. Maybe I can somehow will Romo to only throw it to Witten. That’d be nice. ---

This is going better than I could’ve reasonably expected. Just worried about garbage time. On the plus side, Petey, leader of my division, also lost. ---

19.01 points needed from Mike James and the TB defense. I’d put it somewhere around 60% chance I win. We both really need this one. Tough break that I’m 3 TEs deep and 2 of them had a bye on the same week and the third one went on IR. ---

This is going to be a lot closer than I expected. I still feel good about lamar miller/wright versus Vjax, but not very. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > This is going to be a lot closer than I expected. I still feel good about lamar miller/wright versus Vjax, but not very. The ridiculous thing is that I traded for Anquan Boldin because he’s more consistent than the Ruben Randle/Kenny Stills combo I’ve been using. But both Randle and Stills boomed yesterday while Boldin busted. If I had played either instead of Boldin, I’d probably be favored right now. Come on VJax! ---

That trade worked out for me in every possible way. In other news, I’m looking to package a couple of running backs (Vereen, Ellington, Turbin, Woodhead, Mark Ingram, Rashad Jennings) for a WR1. ---

Ok, I’m officially a ghoul. As \*\*Beef \*\*explained, I need for Tampa’s DEF and RB Mike James to score less than 19 points combined. James was injured on TB’s opening drive. When they came back from commercial, I literally exclaimed: “The cart! They brought out the cart! We’re in business!” I’m still not in the clear – an above-average game from Tampa’s DEF will sink me. But, yeah… ---

Son of a fuck. I can’t catch a break in this league this year. ---

I pretty much have to hope for a shutout or defensive TD from the Bucs. ---

A few sacks/turnovers (combined with a little point-prevention) and you’re still ok. ---

Mike James would’ve gotten the extra 3 points. ---

Yep. Easily. He sure looked good on that first drive. Oh, and he fractured his ankle, btw, in case you had any ideas about using him as a flex player going forward. I believe that God reached down and snapped Mike James’ ankle. God and the cat avatar I uploaded yesterday for my team. ---

VJax couldn’t pull it out. Curse you Anquan Boldin! ---

If you told me last night that Lamar Miller would finish with two rushing yards I would have bet you any amount you liked that I would have lost that game. I am pretty stunned at how good the Buccaneers’ run defense was. The Dolphins would have had negative rushing yardage if the yards Daniel Thomas was tackled into the endzone counted. ---

Refresh my memory, the wild card tiebreaker for this league is divisional record or total points scored? ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > If you told me last night that Lamar Miller would finish with two rushing yards I would have bet you any amount you liked that I would have lost that game. Mike Glennon has clearly got a future, but he can’t throw TDs with any sort of consistency. All I need was one Glennon-to-Jackson TD and I would have steamrolled you. Or if I had just started any of my other receivers over Eddie Royal or Anquan Boldin. :smack: > [@Stringer](#): > > Refresh my memory, the wild card tiebreaker for this league is divisional record or total points scored? Wild Card tiebreaker is total points. Divisional tiebreaker is divisional record. ---

I did also have Tim Wright, who has caught nearly as many touchdowns from Glennon as Jackson has so far. So, this was my roster immediately after this season’s draft: > [@](#): > > Giovani Bernard(Cin - RB) > EJ Manuel(Buf - QB) > Stepfan Taylor(Ari - RB) > Isaac Redman(Pit - RB) > Steven Hauschka(Sea - K) > Luke Stocker(TB - TE) > Matt Barkley(Phi - QB) > Kenjon Barner(Car - RB) > Robert Turbin(Sea - RB) > Tampa Bay(TB - DEF) > Joseph Morgan(NO - WR) > Scott Chandler(Buf - TE) > Christian Ponder(Min - QB) > Jarius Wright(Min - WR) > Julian Edelman(NE - WR) > Knowshon Moreno(Den - RB) > Matt Schaub(Hou - QB) > Danny Woodhead(SD - RB) > Jon Baldwin(SF - WR) > Anquan Boldin(SF - WR) > Vincent Brown(SD - WR) > Owen Daniels(Hou - TE) > Mike Williams(TB - WR) > DeSean Jackson(Phi - WR) > Reggie Bush(Det - RB) I have replaced every single one of my projected starters except DeSean Jackson, Giovanni Bernard, and Steven Hauschka _since this past draft_ - and Bernard and Hauschka were new additions _from_ the draft. ---
