    Alright, time to drop Brandon Oliver with Ryan Matthews coming back. Also have Bradshaw on bye so I'm out RB's.

    Need some RB recs for Week 10. I hear Rainey might be a decent option against the Browns. Also trying to low key stash Josh Gordon this week.

    Dropped Oliver and picked up Terrance West. Got me 15pts. (phew on that touchdown that was almost a fumble).

    Been picking pretty well on waivers lately. Odell Beckham Jr. and Martavis Bryant were excellent pickups after struggling with my WR's.

    I don't have Dalton but I have Bernard, Hill, and Green. Dalton's historically bad week basically cost me the game because they had to start passing to keep up so Hill didn't get a full work load.

    He cost two fantasy games this week. What an *******.

    Romo hurt, Stafford with a bad match-up against a tough Miami defense, I picked up Mark Sanchez in a pass first offense against a bad Carolina defense.

    Jordy and Martavis Bryant are locked in as my WR1-2's, have a hard time picking between:

    Brandon Marshall - Always had high projections, but seems he and Cutler had a fall out or something. Has been disappointing all season. I'm hoping he has a small breakout so I could sell high.

    Odell Beckham Jr. - Put up great numbers the last two weeks even with Eli's terrible games. He's definitely been a main target, but faces a tough Seattle defense. I also have Seattle's defense so I'm a little torn there.

    Davante Adams - Becoming/became the #3 WR behind Jordy and Cobb for Rodgers. He's been putting up not high, but consistent numbers.

    I have Andre Holmes, Roddy White, Brandon Marshall, Anquan Boldin, and Golden Tate. I need to start three.

    The thing is that I don't trust any of them. White and Marshall have been inconsistent, Boldin has a low top end, Holmes has a ridiculous top end, but he normally scores garbage. Tate is my guy, but Megatron is back this week.

    I'd say Tate, White, and probably Marshall. Marshall has had a really rough year, but if you're still holding on to him then you gotta play him for his upside. White has a great match-up this week. I think even if Megatron has a good game, he'll be used as a decoy at some point and Tate will capitalize off of that.

    had rodgers and forsett go off for my team but i'm still going to lose because the other guy has megatron, murray, and evans. he also has the cardinals D which got him 25 points

    that's just the kind of luck i'm having this season

    Marshawn Lynch, Forsett, Tate, Marshall, and White all did a good job for me.

    I scored 163, most in my league this week. Chugging along. B2B wins.

    Had a big week too, pretty won my matchup, and I still have Mark Sanchez to go.

    Had Marshon, Jordy, Martavis, B. Marshall (Injured now), Terrence West.

    I had Odell on the bench too, he'll be a fine replacement for Marshall. Excellent showing against Sherman and the Seahawks for the young rook.

    My opponent had Lynch, Jordy Nelson, Payton Manning, and Jared Cook. In a 12 team League she put up over 140 points. I got smoked.

    I'm in a 12-team league, but we're PPR and there are some milestones in it, too (300 yards, 400 yards, 500 yards passing; 100 rushing, 150 rushing, 200 rushing; etc.). My 163 or whatever is close to the best this season.

    Dropped Terrence West and picked up CJ Anderson and Monte Ball this week.

    Sitting my consistent Ahmad Bradshaw on the hopes the Anderson will breakout with Hillman out. Sitting on Monte to see if his role expands back from his injury.

    I botched my draft when it came to the RB's and I'm in a 14 team league so there was never really much available on the waiver wire. I've had and abundance of good WR's though and I just picked up Josh Gordon too. I finally decided to pull the trigger and trade for an elite RB. Just traded Maclin for Charles. I'm not sure how much I trusted Maclin anymore with Sanchez throwing to him. Here's my squad now.

    QB: Philip Rivers
    RB: Jamal Charles
    RB: Jeremy Hill
    WR: Demaryius Thomas
    WR: Kelvin Benjamin
    TE: Travis Kelce
    Flex: Odell Beckham Jr
    D/ST: Lions
    K: Dan Carpenter
    Bench: Anquan Boldin, Josh Gordon, Jonathan Stewart, Knile Davis, Zac Stacy

    I'm a game out of the playoffs, but I think I'll make it now. Especially if Giovanni Bernard stays out and Hill gets a bunch of carries. Even if not, if Josh Gordon comes back at the same level he was playing at last year, I could trade him for a better RB.

    My team absolutely rocked this week. Hill, Benjamin, Luck, AJ Green, Lacy, and Sanders (anyone see that hit?? Yikes).

    They balled out this week.

    Stafford failed me, as always. The unpredictable Brandon Marshall goes off the week I bench him. Ahmad Bradshaw gets hurt.

    Down 27 points with Martavis Bryant to play. Unless Rothlisberger goes off again, I'm done for.

    I have a good shot at a W here. RB going against me would need at least 30 points. A W keeps me alive.
