Seriously, I'm thinking the mojo has left me. In the three leagues I'm in this year, I have just a combined 4 wins!

In 12 years of FF, I've never sucked so badly.

I blame Foster, Rivers, Harvin, Shaub. I also blame P. Manning who made Wayne useless. Also you D. Willams, you were a RB stud, now your not even 3rd Flex fodder!!!


AM I CUR cry SED?

For the most part yes. Especially compared to last year which was dominant for me. But last year I had Arian Foster in all leagues plus Vick in a couple.

This year I'm doing well in my main league but not so well overall because I invested heavily in Vick and Gates and I made sure to get Mario Manningham in every league. Still have no idea why he's not having a great year. In one league this year my top 6 picks were Foster, Charles, Gates, Romo, Manningham, S. Holmes. Hello 0-5.


But it's not surprising if people are having down years for FF... there's been a crazy amount of injuries to star players so far.

I'm just in the one league here and I'm getting killed. Colston got hurt right away and has been useless. Kenny Britt was great for 2 games and now gone for the season. Wayne is pointless without Manning playing. Steven Jackson has been a waste of a draft pick. Adrian Peterson was great this week, but last week he only got me 4 pts against Kansas City.

I can't get a defense to score more than 5 pts for me no matter who I pick. I grabbed Tennessee this week since the Steelers have been turning the ball over like crazy...and Roethlisber throws 5 TDs against them.

I thought I had a good team going. I won my first two matchups and it's gone in the crapper ever since.

My league against people that know nothing about football (some literally) I am now 1-4. I have scored 5 less points than people have scored against me. I lost 3/4 games by less than 4 points, and all 4 by less than 10. cry

The lady winning that league is 5-0 and has basically the identical team that I do in the vn league. D Brees, S Smith, L Tomlinson, D Thomas, V Davis, and J Charles

I'm actually doing pretty well I have 5 teams 2 are 4-1, 2 are 3-2 and one is 2-3. Of course it helps that Jimmy Graham was my sleeper pick on all my teams. and no one's gotten hurt yet.

im 4-1, in another RL friend yahoo league, 2-3 in my auction league..and 3rd in points. 2-3 in this league...i think the labor dispute is not only hurting some players, but the FF base as well.

i lost my first game this week...and it was only because i didn't go with my gut and play certain players (Gore and Branch)

this week a lot of people are on byes but my secondary players should be good enough to win this week

I am doing better than usual for this time of year. Its is probably because I went receiver heavy this year, and this season is the year of the WR.

I went the exact opposite, I'm RB heavy and have Jimmy Graham on all my teams. The only losing team I have is the one I have Mendenhall and McFadden thanks to Mendenhall forgetting how to run.
