I thought so, too.

I hate guys like him. In one of my leagues, my main backs are Addai and Larry Johnson. They are both completely hit or miss and both are completely worthless this week.

I love fantasy football but it can be extremely frustrating.

I think Slaton is a must-start. AP is hard to bench, as he was most likely your #1 pick. Wish he would get in the endzone a little more often, but, still your best bet IMO.

AP has been stinking up the place the last 2 weeks, and is going against a top-10 run D in the Bears... I know he torched them last year in their first meeting with a similar ranking, but he got shut down in their second meeting AND has been ice cold lately...

Trust me, I know. The guy pisses me off and is the reason one of my team's is tanking.

In that league I have:
Peterson
Lendale White
Deangelo Williams
McFadden

I am going w/ Peterson & White this week. I hate to start White because he is garbage but he always seems to score and they are playing the Chiefs.

Slaton for sure. I've come to the realization that you should rarely bench your studs, no matter how bad the matchup. With that theory in mind, I say AP is the other back. Any of you other backs could have a great game, but I think Moore would be my third choice.

Royal practiced wed & thurs so I think he will be fine on MNF. They said he technically could have played last week. As a Broncos fan I wish he would have.

Do you get 1pt per reception? How is your scoring for WR's set up for yardage and TD's? I'm with you on Royal. However, if they had hung on to the ball, Denver would have probably won by 10. I swear, if Cutler doesn't start tucking that ball in when he runs, I'm going to develop an ulcer.

In one league we do a point per reception, 6 for a TD and a point for every 20 yards. In another, it's the same except a point for every 10 yards! Some of the reciever scores are riduclous...guys will have 40+ points sometimes.

Yeah, Cutler needs to get his act together. Marshall is even worse w/ the fumbles. As bad as the D looks some weeks, turnovers have been that team's downfall so far. They could easily be 6-0 and they could be 1-5. It's like a heart attack w/ them every friggin' week.

Looks like a good decision now!!!

I feel good because I bit the bullet and started McGahee in the leagues I have him (didn't help Felix Jones is hurt) and that worked out. Steven Jackson single handedly won me 3 of the 4 games this week (Idon't have him in #4 and that still depends on Michael Pittman tonight!)

FINALLY McGahee showed signs of a pulse...

Man, Moore and White were on my bench... 6 tds and a bazillion yards. Yeah, it smarts a bit.

Steven Jackson looked like his old self this week. I like that guy.

So happy LJ is heading for another suspension. One of the biggest jerks around.

I completely wore some other team out this week
