So Legatron is done for the year, anyone have the balls to actually pick up Fickens and start him? I know Zuerlein has been beyond accurate, but can Fickens step into this high powered offense and put up some points for championship week?

Ridley vs SF D.... Crappy matchup but the Pats normally provide Ridley some scoring opportunities. My other option is Joique Bell vs an awful ARI D or Montell Owens vs a tough MIA D, but with little competition. Do I ride the pony who helped to get me here or switch it up? Miles Austin... If Dez is out I go with Miles, but since I also have Witten as my TE I'm nervous about putting too much stock into the DAL passing game. My other option is Hartline, who should see a higher number of targets with Bess out. NE D vs SF... NE has come on as of late and I think if they get out to an early lead they can force some mistakes. My other option is MIA against the Jags, which looks great on paper but MIA hasn't been great at forcing the turnovers. What do you think?

Interesting play here if Bess is confirmed out. Hartline should be the main recipient of the MIA passing game. Could he pull off another huge day, seems like the guy is due and the today might be the opportunity he needs. What say you?

Here was my draft, first in points, 12-1 record, lost in the first round of the playoffs to the dude who had Brees and McCoy

PPR - Benson or SJax?

Who would you guys pick between Sjax and Benson in PPR?

Earnest Graham or Steven Jackson PPR league... With Bradford out I'm thinking Graham is the better play

I had the 9th pick and came really close to going WR/WR, but I had the fear that no good RB's would make their way back. I would have went Calvin/Nicks, but instead my draft is below... Everything has panned out nicely so far, lets hope it stays that way! 1. Calvin 2. SJax 3. Forte 4. Welker 5. Steve Smith 6. Fred Jackson 7. Ben Roethlisberger 8. Santana Moss 9. Jimmy Graham 10. Ravens D 11. Michael Bush 12. Jordy Nelson 13. Brandon Pettigrew 14. Cam Newton 15. Alex Henery

I'll put this post to bed... Heres my draft, 12 teamer PPR, drafted from the 9 hole. 1. Calvin Johnson 2. Steven Jackson 3. Matt Forte 4. Wes Welker 5. Dez Bryant 6. Fred Jackson 7. Matt Stafford 8. Steve Smith 9. Ravens D 10. Lance Moore 11. Jimmy Graham 12. Darren Sproles 13. Jordy Nelson 14. Cam Newton 15. Jason Hanson I didnt really like my team after the draft, and was bummed when SJax and Dez went down early... needless to say I am 4-0 and killing it. My bench is outscoring most teams starters each week. I wish I could take credit for being a "shark", but in reality I've just been really really lucky. ...Dear FF Gods, I hope this post does not anger you. Thank you for your assitance so far this season!

Last year was a doozy in one of my leagues... This league had 4 conferences of 12 teams, so 48 total owners... it was made up of 4 different leagues that were combined for the first time and there were some issues with the existing rules that owners complained about, however nothing should have been changed mid-season. In order to change the rules the league requires a 75% vote in favor of the change... for 2 years that meant 75% of ALL owners, so in a 12 teamer, you need 9 yes votes, in a 48 teamer you would assume you need 36 yes vote to proceed, but our doosh of a commish decided that as long as 75% of the votes placed were yes votes that was enough. I insisted nothing changes without 36 yes votes... The 3 rule changes proposed were as follows... 1. Change playoffs to a 4 week format starting in Week 12 from a 3 week format starting in week 13 2. Change the # of teams making the playoffs from 12 to 16 3. Change the criteria from making the playoffs based on W/L record to total points scored Now, we are in Week 8 of the league when all this is proposed, and I just dont agree with any of them. We get 38 votes out of 48 owners, in the 1DAY the commish let people vote... out of 39 votes 29 vote Yes, 10 Vote No... 28/38 = 74.4% so even with the bullshit change in how the votes are counted, we didnt make the 75% The cocker of a commish sends an email saying this is "close enough" to 75% so the rules will pass... I went ape$hit on him, not only did he manipulate the how votes are counted, but now he can decide that 74.4% is just as good as 75%... especially since with this change he would probably make the playoffs and without it he wouldnt... at $200 per team, the total prize is over $5K for first place... so yes I was pissed. Myself and 5 other owners tried to get the commish to listen to reason and just live with it this year and re-vote on the changes for next year, he basically responded and said "its his league that he built over 10 years and he will do as he sees fit" Based on that I dropped all of my good players to the waiver, picked up scrubs and played them for the remainder of the season...3 other owners did the same in my conference so the other 8 teams in our conf were stacked... all the other owners in difference confereces complained because they could not possibly win the league...in the end by week 11 the commish locked the league and sent everyone back their $200... the next year the league was back down to 12 teams from 48. Lesson Learned - DONT EVER CHANGE THE RULES IN MID SEASON, AND DONT BE DOOSH OF A COMMISH

I might have you beat on this one... couldnt catch a break all year!! I went 3-10 and I have the highest total points in my league... the 3 games I won I scored an average of 66 points, the 10 games I lost... I averaged almost 128 points Normal weekly scores are in the 90-115 range, i just happened to play the high scorers each week! Luckily our wildcard spot goes to total points, so I'm in the playoffs and I should dominate... pretty sad I can win the whole thing going 3-10 in the regular season!! Week 1 Goodies L 131 - 128 Week 2 G-Men L 117 - 115 Week 3 Dappys L 148 - 141 Week 4 Jimmy Choo L 123 - 119 Week 5 Dappys L 129 - 127 Week 6 Jimmy Choo W 56 - 63 Week 7 Demolition Crew W 63 - 67 Week 8 Success Factor L 119 - 114 Week 9 Demolition Crew L 133 - 129 Week 10 The Green Machine L 157 - 138 Week 11 Walli L 129 - 124 Week 12 Internal Combustion W 65 - 68 Week 13 Raw Power L 146 - 142

Thats sweet, but its an 8 teamer, mine is a 12.... so I think I have a slight edge on you!
