SDMB FF Dynasty League: Year Six

@VarlosZ

God damn it, Ellis! Are you gonna fuck me again? How am I always matched up against you for the one week when the Giants decide not to play like shit?

I was projected for a 35-point win, but now I’ve gotta hope for 40+ points from Greg Olsen, Emmanuel Sanders, and Carolina’s D.

Missed this thread, originally posted to the Week 3 thread but I’ll crosspost here for posterity:

@VarlosZ

Eli Manning had his first game without an interception since Week 11 of last year.

Giants looked like a real football team this week; won 30-17, and really should’ve had more. They improved last week, too. The optimistic interpretation would be that they just needed extra time to install the new offense. If Eli plays well, the team actually has a lot of talent. Big if, but still.

I saw this coming a mile away, and was pleasantly vindicated. So confident that I pulled my starters to put in Eli, the Giants DEF, and Donnell in our fantasy matchup in the dynasty league. Happily, they played exactly as I expected.

Next week, however, is against what is technically a backup quarterback, so I see 1-3 coming. The Giants can’t beat a backup QB to save their life. (Which is why last week was a loss.)

EDIT: The thing I’m happiest about is picking up Corey Washington, who could very well be the next Victor Cruz.

EDIT 2: Well, huh. Looks like I would have scored even higher if I’d stuck with my starters. (Big Ben, Steelers D, Martellus Bennett.) So much for following hunches.
