Hrrrm. AJ Green wound up not playing this week. Any chance I can replace him with Reggie Wayne? ---

That’s tricky. He played, just got injured early and left the game with no stats. I want to say yes, but then again, if he had 50 yards before he got injured, wouldn’t it feel weird to swap him out? It’d be hard to set a precedent for anyone in the future who wants to replace someone who was injured during a game. On the other hand, I don’t mind being fast and loose with the rules here and you have no direct opponent that this hurts, so I’m okay with it. Anyone else have an opinion? ---

So much for my plan of using Knowshon Moreno before he got injured… And I had AJ Green to boot. I’m just lucky I didn’t get the first quarter injury trifecta by picking RGIII. ---

Yeah, I’m afraid I’m gonna bow out. I’m already having the same issues that plagued me last year (mostly forgetting to get my picks in until the last minute, trying to remember who I’ve already used, etc.). Godspeed, you guys. ---
