Should we all change our team name on NFL.com to our YBIG username? Be much easier to see at a glance.

No chance, unless you're changing my ybig name to the wizards

Should all just get your own franchise like name like I have with the Wizards

Third best record of the week, over 100 points, so of course I lose by less than a f**king point.

F**k sake.

I watched the highlights of the Giants Cowboys game yesterday and saw Brandon Marshall picking up ten yards with the last play of the game. "That'll not make a difference" thought I. Huh. How wrong I was.

This delights me, it's up there with the play off fantasy game I beat you by 0.4 or something to win the league

Could well do it as for I think the 3rd year running my top RB pick (DJ this year) gets injured early in the season and likely to be out for minimum 8 weeks, have a few decent RB's in reserve though I hope.

Beating the night trains by 1 point or less is what we all play for

LOLLOLLOL

I was reading a thing about the worst fantasy football losses on reddit earlier.

Some lad a few years ago had Stephen Gostkowski for the Patriots and his opponent had Wes Welker. Gostkowski goes down injured at half time, Welker ends up kicking a field goal, and he loses as a direct result of that. Now *that* would be a shot in the nuts.

There's a few more here:

Must admit I did very little research on my team prior to the draft this year, my second round pick I was adamant I was taking the highest rated RB on the board. Ended up with Chicago's Jordan Howard who to be fair made the pro Bowl last year.

Then read this about him this morning....
Jordan Howard led the league in drops last year.
Week 1 - dropped the game winning touchdown
Week 2 - targeted once - dropped it!

Embarrassed

You got lucky this week I broke my golden rule of never dropping an Eagles QB where possible, decided the Chiefs being on a high and the Steelers having a relatively straight forward game that Big Ben would score more but the 7 point difference between him and Wentz cost me the match up ffs. That and Pederson deciding he couldn't be arsed using Blount v the Chiefs.

I think I put way too much meas in the projected scores. Always have projected 80-100 but ended up with 40 this week :(

My record following the bills exactly - only loss in Week 2

One of my weakest ever teams though so not expecting my play-off run to continue.

F**k sake.

Looked for Alvin Kamara, Latavius Murray and Carson Palmer on waivers.

Admittedly I was 9th on the waiver list but I didn't expect them *all* to go. Balls to that.

With Dalvin Cook out for the season, my RB options are looking very, very weak.

Yeah loads of activities on the waivers today - 9 of the teams adding players, I didn't get the one I tried so at least 10 of 12 players actively trying to change.

I'll give you DJ for Gronk and 1 of your WR's SD Tongue
 
Did my Smallwood change go through? (cant access the site in work)
 
Bar Gurley who has been the star of the season so far imo, none of my RB's have consistent numbers per game though am thinking Blount and Smallwood will share most of it out now for the Eagels so might have to play both as light on top WR's Ermm
 
I've a serious problem at TE and need to source even a half decent one as yer man at the Vikings been ignored 2 of the games so far ffs.

Ty Montgomery was doing the business the first two weeks but now he's "questionable" with broken ribs Marshawn Lynch has backfired for me so far and my next best option is Jonathan Stewart for the Panthers. I did have Latavius Murray in the beginning but offloaded him before Cook got injured Angry


I'm desperately trying to put together a competitive team atm, no real standout performers for me so far.

Yeah you signed Smallwood Philly.

TE's have been very quiet this year (bar Gronk obviously). Nobody's averaging more than 8/9 points.

Hah, no thanks. I'll give you Jeremy Maclin in a straight swap.
