My ****ty Fantasy Team

My fantasy team is struggling so far. My league is a NFL.com league, and 1st place gets about $300. 2nd gets about $150, and 3rd gets $75. Last year was my first year in the league (My dad, and three of my uncles are in it, too) and I got third. Everyone was surprised at a 14 year old kid kicking there asses all season.

This year, my brother, who is 13 years old, took one of my uncles spots, as he didn't want to pay for it this year.

There is 12 teams, and 8 playoff teams, and when it's week 17, there is a 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th place game.

Our league runs like this:
QB
RB
WR
TE
RB/WR/TE 1
RB/WR/TE 2
K
DEF

BENCH

Injury spot (Questionable or worse.)

My team (usually):
QB Andrew Luck
RB Ray Rice
WR Andre Johnson
TE Kyle Rudolph
Flex 1: Brandon Marshall
Flex 2: Steve Smith
K: Mason Crosby
D: Giants

Bench:
QB Jay Cutler
TE Jared Cook JR
RB Rashard Mendenhall
QB Josh Freeman
WR Vincent Jackson

I have two open bench slots for right now, I'll adress them when the week is over.

In week 1, Jay Cutler started and did alright. Blah blah blah, we won. I'm 1-0, yay.

Week 2, Jay Cutler throws like 4 INTs or something and we get blown out. meanwhile, Andrew Luck is doing pretty well on my bench.

Week 3, I give Cutler on more chance against the Rams, and he stinks it up again.

So now it's week 4, and I go to place Andrew Luck in the starting role, but I realise HE'S ON HIS BYE WEEK. I scramble, and pick up Josh Freeman because he's playing the Redskins. He actually did alright, thank god.

So right now I'm up by about 20 points, and I have the Giants D, while my opponent has Eli Manning, and Demarco Murray. Fudge. Next week, I'll be dropping Josh Freeman and picking up two players, TBD. and depending in how Jay Cutler does tomorrow, it will be Cutler or Luck who starts.
As of right now I'm 1-2, I'll update on Tuesday.

It really sucks.
