ANOTHER MISTAKE....

When you have a deep team, you sometimes have to make decisions on who to play, and this year, for me, the choices I've made have proven wrong...
Case in point...this weekend, I put Brain Westbrook back into my lineup and sat Brandon Jacobs thinking Westbrook would have a big day and Jacobs would struggle...Checking the latest injury reports around noon Sunday...I saw a note about Westbrook might be limited in his game...what do I do? flip the two...Westbrook gets 32 on my bench, Jacobs, - 4...luckly, I've got my game covered with Tennessee RB Chris Johnson still to play tonight....that could have been costly...

What did they say in school? Go with your first instinct...it's usually right....

FINALLY A WIN!

Can't believe I've gone 5 week without a win, but had a big game Sunday and ended up top scorer in my league. My one regret - lenDale White on the bench on my other team for 32 points, but M. Cassel gave me a one point win...

Take note of the your league's rules - trading deadline is coming up - be on the lookout for some frustrated owners to dump their stars to a strong team and making the rich get richer. Most leagues allow teams to veto trades...look at your rules and keep an eye out...maybe you could swing a deal to make the stretch run...

OH MY...LAST PLACE

Another loss to drop to 1-5....my powerhouse is the 4th highest scoring team, but opponents are scoring more against me than anyone else. Got screwed by not paying attention and could get a replacement for Shayne Graham as he missed Sunday's game with the Jets...while it didn't really make a difference, it's typical of my season...
Today's lesson - make sure to check injury notes on friday or saturday...I didn't and it cost me....
One good thing - the pick-up of WR Roy Williams may pay off big time now that he's in Dallas....
If you are like me and carrying only one K & D/ST, make sure you look ahead and pick up what you need for a bye a week early, or put a claim in on waivers ealry in the week...this way, you aren't scrambling....

WHAT A DISASTER!!!!

For someone who was soooo pumped about his team after the draft, I'm 1-4....can it get any worse...
My problem - I keep trying to play matchups and always get it wrong...also, I have an abundance of good players, just never get the right combinations....
The one thing I need to keep in mind and remind you if you are in a similar position...keep at it...most leagues have playoffs and you can still recover....
Now, it would be nice to get a win this week...

WATCH THE WAIVER WIRE...

With the bye weeks upon us, you need to keep an eye on the waiver wire...some owners make some very unwise decision and you can grab a stud...
Case in point...one guy has half his team on a bye and needed a receiver...based on his performance this season, he dumped Roy Williams of Detroit...I saw that and swooped in...not because I needed a receiver, but I know someone who's looking for them...had a trade offer from him earlier but wasn't ready to...now, maybe I can get a Matt Cassel for a stud WR....
