God made fantasy football in MY image. and smites the Texans for their unholy betrayal of Americas team.
I've made so many trades already . I'm luckily 2-0, but this week took a tool with RG3/Ryan Mathews/Ingram all going down. So I had to make moves and think I came out in really good shape despite the injuries.

My trade activities/timeline:
Do the draft and trade Pierre Garcon/Rashard Jennings for Montee Ball/Rueben Randle before the season starts.
Win week 1 with RG3 giving me 8 points (25th out of 30 in QB points that week).
Win week 2 with RG3 giving me 3 points and getting injured. Lose Ryan Mathews to a knee injury as well.
Wake up the next morning to read a report that I have lost Mark Ingram to a broken hand.
So I only have Montee Ball/Pierre Thomas/Joique Bell healthy, with an injured Mathews/Ingram on my bench and no QB because RG3 is out for a while. At least I'm 2-0.
I try trading for a QB, but no takers. Partly because I'm 2-0 and no one wants to help, partly because I"m not willing to get completely pummeled in a trade for a QB since my team is 2-0 with my QB giving me 11 total points.
I take a risk, because it's PPR and I trade Montee Ball for Antonio Brown. This now gives me Calvin Johnson/Jordy Nelson/Antonio Brown/Brandin Cooks/Rueben Randle/Josh Gordon in my PPR league. However, I'm still without a QB and now only have two healthy RB's: Joique Bell/Pierre Thomas.
I have the 5th waiver spot and was going to use it on Cousins. Wake up and the guy with the number one waiver spot (and Foles already on his team) has used it on Cousins to force me to trade. I actually think I ended up pretty well because I was able to nab Khiry Robinson to get another healthy RB on waivers, then I traded Ryan Matthews/Ladarius Green for Cousins/Carlos Hyde.
So I lost Montee Ball and Ryan Matthews, but got Khiry Robinson/Carlos Hyde/Antonio Brown and also ended up with Cousins.
That's my two week journey. 3 big injuries, 2-0 start, 3 trades already.
Why would he do that? Is he a Charger fan?
Nope. But, even with the injury (which is just 3-5 weeks), Ryan Mathews is a better fantasy player than a questionable QB he won't use & Hyde who's stuck behind Gore. It was low risk higher upside for him to give up Cousins for Ryan Matthews essentially.
I guess. Hyde is a good handcuff though.
The refs helped me in one of my leagues by handing Jackson a TD to keep me ahead in projections (even though yahoo projections are ) Im 0-2 and 12 out of twelve in that league.
My other two leagues im 1-1 but facing person with julio and he got 33 in one league and 34 in the other.
Russell Wilson vs Denver or Rivers @ Buffalo?
Wilson. It's gonna be windy and possibly raining in buffalo plus you don't want to have to root against your team.
And better matchup even though rivers has shown he can do fine despite the matchup.
ditto. I might as well have let Yahoo do my entire draft.
I just hope I don't have two guys get injured in the first 5 minutes of the game again.
ya. I promise I did not do a jump for joy and Isiah Thomas celebration spin. =)
lol my initial rbs were demarco, arian and charles
my starters today, lamar miller and dmac
russell wilson quietly turning in his 3rd straight 20+ point week. this is why i wait till round 9 to grab a qb
If that fat Stafford would have scored more than one ing point I wouldn't have had to try and overcome an 80 point defecit. I only need 24 more points . Need Olsen and Jeffrey to go HAM.
Need 5 or more points from Cutler + Marshall
benjamin can pad my lead here, though as long as forte doesn't explode i should be fine anyway
If Eddie Lacy's fatass ever turns it around....
$purstalk 2014 fantasy football = fcked
ditto if peterson's case is dropped
I thought RBs would be a strength on my team this year but Lacy sucks and Vereen is barely touching the field. I'm convinced Ridley has pictures of Belichick & McDaniels having an orgy with farm animals that he's blackmailing them with.
