thats the lineup i have in right now....you just have to put the 3rd wr in the RB/WR slot and the te in the TE/WR slot.

Oh duh - I benched the wrong RB to test that.

Never mind, move along, nothing to see here.

I've only been in this league 3 years but there has never been a TE required which is why I've never drafted one that I can recall. If they're just like WRs, then there are maybe 5 valuable TEs in the entire league. I've always wanted a league where TE's get 1.5x the points of a WR or they get points for a pancake or something so that they are actually worth a darn on draft day.

See, I'm new this year and didn't read all the roster restrictions when I first joined and stupidly thought that TE was a required position.

Man, I had a semi-decent week and I had to go up against McNabb and Turner, who alone had 88 points. Good lord.

Shake it off, turn to next week. I like my team.

That is brutal. I own Brady in my money keeper league, so I feel some of your pain.

On a good note, great start for the Big Shooters!!

I have both McNabb and Turner in my money keeper league and started both of them and still lost. The culprits, Brady, Addai, and Ocho Cinco combining for less than 10 points.

Primarily, Parker...but the rest of his guys performed as expected except for Braylon Edwards.

I also forgot to mention that Cooley and the Vikings D netted me SQUAT...so I guess Brady, Addai, Ocho Cinco, Cooley, and Vikings scored 10 points for me this weekend.

That's why they play the games.

Ah - that is still crappy. To have two of the best guys and still get smoked by underperformers on the rest of your team.

Win some, lose some though! That's what happens!

You can try, but I don't think you can keep all those QBs on your bench all year- not with this short bench

Then again, the same can be said for my RBs

For some reason when I was drafting, I thought we were still going with the 2 QB starting plan. That still doesn't explain my pickup of Cassel

My team looks worse every week. Graham is doing shit-all, Jackson is stuck on a horrible team, Burress is suspended for 2 weeks, Welker lost his meal-ticket, and Coles is eh. Only Brees is worth anything. Stupid fantasy football!!

My WR right now are James Hardy, Mark Clayton, and Coles. That has to be the worst trio I've ever started in fantasy.

Anybody interested in improving their RB situation? I've got Turner and Lynch and would like to improve my piss poor WRs.

Let me know.

This league is bullshit! I finally have ONE good week thanks to Brett Favre's 6 touchdowns and the Canadian yahoo I am playing has Coles. BULLSHIT, I say!!

I hate my team so very, very much...

I am the Matt Millen of this league. I believe I am going to fire myself.

Hahaha. Graham and Jackson finally did something too after all year of nothing. Better luck next week.

Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said Harrington. What about trading for Kitna?

Mercifully, I played the inactive team this week. I had to pick up 3 guys just to field a team. Fortunately, they all played pretty well. My bench right now is 5 BYEs and Tom Brady...
