Well it was nice while I had you, undefeated season.</p>

[D-Lyrium]

Justin Tucker's on a bye, as is Kenny Britt. Coby Fleener's against Seattle which is basically a bye. In fact, the only guys on my bench not on a bye are my backup QB (Rivers this week, because Denver) and Dion Lewis. Who's injured. Sooo.

 

Unless something better comes my way on waivers, Michael Floyd is starting at WR2.

 

I think you've got me on a good week.

 

 

By the way, in trade news:

Charles 0 - 11 White

Hopkins 8 - 7 Britt (screw Tavon Austin and his three interceptions that Keenum got blamed for!)

 

I'm calling that a win. So far so good. 'course, I could probably use Witten this week. But that's just my normal standard of planning ahead.

That's interesting, because when I saw that trade I thought "Wow, that's lopsided" for the other side.

 

I do have a league where I drafted Hopkins in the first round, though, so I can totally understand trading him.

 

I genuinely believe White (and later Lewis, who I've also got waiting) is an upgrade over Jamaal Charles, at least this year. Maybe not in terms of talent, but in terms of fantasy potential.

 

Britt for Hopkins maaayyyy have been a mistake, I'm totally willing to admit that, but Brock Osweiler is just so bad I wanted to protest his existence in some small way. The fact Ray has demoted him to flex and chosen to go with Golden Tate kinda vindicates me a bit I reckon.

 

Witten I gave away as Rayelek has no backup TE and I was never going to use him despite him being one of my favourites. I don't really count him as it was basically a less painful way of cutting him.

[K-Nection]

So I pulled out a ruled out Dwayne Washington at 12:59 EST....that was a close one!

[D-Lyrium]

Might wanna stay away from MLT for a while. ¬_¬

 

And if I was the ref who called PI on Garcon, I'd just retire. Clearly this isn't the sport for him.

[D-Lyrium]

Two late waiver wire picks: Fiedorowicz, Russell Shepard. Both scored TDs in the first half.

 

Kelce's on the bench for Swanny.

 

Could I...? ...surely not?

 

Edit: TY Hilton injured. Guess not then.

[D-Lyrium]

Could've done without that Frank Gore TD, that's for sure. I mean, I love the guy, but this week... could've done without it.

[K-Nection]

So I took a bet on Brandon LaFell this week as he killed it last week. This week he had one reception. Cincinnati decided to throw all the passes to Tyler Eifert who I'm coincidentally up against. Yup going to be hard to come back from that one.

I really wish Arizona could stop the run I need Cam to start throwing some passes......I notice I root for very weird outcomes since I started playing fantasy lol.

<p>Ok so he got a flag for hugging a ref? WTH! How is that unsportsmanlike conduct???!!!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

[K-Nection]

Holy crap they finally made a call against a Saint...that is 12 penalties on the Hawks and 2 on the Saints.....that is a crazy spread.

[D-Lyrium]

It's not the ref's fault that the Hawks are dirty b*stards. They would've lost last week if the referees weren't blind.

[D-Lyrium]

So after a promising start, everyone died on their arses (except Fiedorowicz, to be fair) and it wouldn't have mattered if TY was healthy or not in the end.

 

Also, in trade watch: Another massive 8 for Hopkins, another huge 0 for Charles. White only got 4 but - much like the Cubs, I'm refusing to accept the inevitable until it's mathematically proven. And much like Trump, I probably won't accept it even then.
