I won one of my matches by 5 points. I know it wasn't as close as Dallens loss but I'm in a ppr league and he picked up 15 points of my 20 point lead in the first quarter alone. For some reason they stopped throwing to him after that.

I have a question. I'm new at this -- always resisted playing FF until last year when a buddy of mine got left in a bind and needed me to fill in at the last second. I had some fun with it last year.

Why do I see Russell Wilson rated so highly? He seems to me like a guy who is better in real life than in fantasy. He got autodrafted for me (that's how into my draft I was) and I needed a backup so I picked up Carr. Of course Carr has been vastly better so far this year.

Speaking of that, do you guys find that the FF "experts" aren't that good? Most of the free sites I look at, I don't understand a lot of the rankings. Like Carr being way below Wilson, for instance.

Other than last year Wilson was averaging 500+ rushing yard points in addition to his passing. I did see a few sites having him ranked fairly high for a qb this year and I didn't, the combo of a shitty OL and coming off a injured down season had me rank him middle of the pack for qb

It wasn't a hail mary. It was a tie ball game and the Gators have a talented field goal kicker, so the defense was designed to protect against a completion that would've gotten them into long FG range. The play broke down when our back up safety (our starter was lost for the year the week leading up to this game) didn't keep good position and when we let the QB roll out of the pocket.

It was a miracle play that hurts the heart, for sure. But we weren't playing a cover two against a hail mary.
Hit a bit of a nerve there [MENTION=12]Deuce[/MENTION].

I vaguely remember your username. But, can't remember if it was from here, or another site.
Like Middy's mom I've been around. It's been a long time since I posted anywhere but the last place I spent any time (before lurking here for a while) was where bbgun and midswat used to polute...

Heads up: Iamtdg is this forums version of doomsday. Except he's poorer.

My mother is a saint, by the way.



Regarding Fantasy football....

Flex position, who should I play?

Evan Ingram, TE, Giants
Nelson Algohrah or whatever the frick, WR, Eagles
Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints

Went looking for a QB since Carr got hurt, and turns out you can still pick up Tony Romo.

Here is one for you guys....

Mariota or Keenum? Mariota plays Monday and is questionable but has a better matchup. However if I wait and he doesnt go then I have to scramble for Cassel. Do I just go with Keenum (not anything left in a 2 QB league)?

I'd play it safe and go with Keenum
