Just venting, don't mind me

Isn't it funny how fantasy football can go sometimes? If only I could trade within my teams.

So, on one team, starting 2 RB's, I had to pick up Goodson from Carolina just to have a healthy body, because I can't afford to give up on the questionables Beanie Wells, Pierre Thomas and Ryan Mathews.

My other team? I start three running backs, and Darren McFadden is not likely to be one of them, because already ahead of him on the depth chart are MJD, Jamal Charles and Peyton Hillis.


Aaaaargh!

I have a similar problem with my team but it is at receiver. I have Brandon Lloyd, Hakeem Nicks, Dwayne Bowe (who has been very good the past few weeks), and Mike Wallace as my top four receivers. I also have Steve Johnson who has had a pretty good year with Buffalo. I usually go with three receivers and two running backs. I'm not as deep at RB with Steven Jackson, Darren McFadden, Cedric Benson, Danny Woodhead, and Mike Goodson. Johnathan Stewart and Shonn Greene have been huge disappointments. To a lesser extent I can't even count on Benson even though I'm going to give him one more start against Buffalo.

My work league, I have McFadden and Ryan Torain on my bench backing up Frank Gore and Arian Foster, which works out well when McFadden goes off for a big game and he's on my bench.

No longer venting.


Nice points from Goodson (and Fred Jackson) and smart move to leave McFadden on the bench.

I left McFadden on the bench, too. I traded Cedric Benson and ended up with Ray Rice as part of the deal. I didn't like Benson with the Bengals schedule the rest of the way out.

God all of my leagues have killed me this year- my keeper league I started out 3-0 and am now 5-5. Welker and Moss just quit on me there, and I struggled through byes.

My work league is also terrible......I lost by five points yesterday ending my run. I started off with five runningbacks- CJ, Grant, Addai, Forte and LT. You can tell how that went recently for me. No Grant all year, Addai's hurt, Forte has been inconsistent and LT has tailed off. I did not start Santonio Holmes this week, and replacing anyone except for Greg Jennings would have gave me the game. Yet, with Jennings, Wayne and TO playing this week, I didn't put Holmes into my OP spot (it's a deep starting roster.) Would any of you have played that differently, especially since I started both Flacco and Brady (OP and QB.) Now I'm done in that league.

I would have had a tough choice between Flacco and Holmes, and I probably would have picked the same way you did. QB's have been good to me in the OP spot, thanks in large part to Kyle Orton.
