Now that the results are pretty much final… having Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady on the same team is the most fun I’ve ever had in fantasy. ---

Any gains I make at QB and RB against this league are lost at WR. It’s a tough group to look at, but it’s one I actually like quite a bit, considering. When you go heavy QB and heavy RB, this is pretty much the perfect group to have at WR in a PPR league. The idea here is to just get steady production. **Nobody here will score two TDs in a single game** , but hopefully every one will catch 4-5 passes every week. Bolding added for emphasis. Just remembered I posted this. That didn’t last long. Losing Amendola for some period of time could hurt quite a bit, this group is already pretty thin. Moore is apparently more hurt than I read about, so I’m already scraping the barrel for warm bodies here. ---

I really hope I don’t lose by a margin that Jamal Charles could’ve been reasonably expected to score. Also, Cam Newton may now be my #1 QB. WTF is that? ---

I cant believe i’m going to lose to one of your crappy teams again. ---

I don’t see why you’d assume that, you’re still ahead a decent bit. But what crappy teams are you talking about? The only times we played together last year were in the auction league where my team was crazy dominant. Weird that my crappy teams keep dominating. ---

I caught up mostly due to Vincent Jackson. There was a tense moment in there when the Pats were in the red zone and you had Brady and Welker, and I had Green Ellis, and he ran it in for a TD. I’ve got a 7 point lead with Matt Ryan, Maclin, and Manningham to play against your Gonzo, kicker, and Eagles D. Looking good for me but still a game. A victory would help heal the wound left after losing my the #2 pick in the draft. Varlos needs to make up a 17 point gap with Vick, Nicks, Julio Jones, and the Giants D against Retro’s DeSean Jackson, McCoy, and Bradshaw. RNATB is 40 points behind Omni, but he has Eli Manning, White, Sims-Walker, Turner, and a kicker vs Omni’s Sam Bradford. ---

I’m 53 behind. Assuming they all hit their projections, I’m going to lose by 10 points. I think it largely depends on whether Turner has his traditional 100+ yard, 2+ TD home opener though. ---

Tough path to victory for Jules. Tony Gonzalez is going nuts, but every time he scores a TD I get 4 points back for Matt Ryan and his Eagles D score goes down. Edit: Nevermind, Maclin TD. Odd that my shitty team is going to put up 300 points. Must be a big fluke week. ---

Well I’ve got 4 matchups with you this year - three in this league and one in the auction. One down… ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Odd that my shitty team is going to put up 300 points. Must be a big fluke week. I’m pretty damn sure you won’t sniff 300 again this season. And I’d be surprised if anyone loses again this season putting up 265. Thems the breaks, oh well. ---

Rooting for McCoy in this league, against for every other league I’m in. Multiple leagues will be what puts me on mood stabilizers. ---

A win is a win. I decided to overachieve somehow. My team went out there and gave 110% and executed and your team didn’t give 110% and execute and you’re just gonna have to go back to the drawing board and just get a little better every week and just worry about your next opponents etc etc. Head to head matchups are important shit. I may hit 300 again since I did it this time with an inactive player, my best player injured after 2 players, and another receiver yet to play. ---

Okay, so now I’m down by 18 with Eli and Sims-Walker to play versus Sam Bradford. Normally I’d rather have the 18 points than have Sims-Walker but obviously any TDs Bradford throws to MSW help me (not that he caught any last week) so maybe I’ll be okay. ---

It is, but I want to confirm in case someone didn’t realize it’d go through in time, and they didn’t want it to go through until after Sunday.
