As long as you're not planning to bet on fantasy cause I crushed you there |

I was actually rooting for my team to lose in my other league so I could eventually be leading the league in points, yet be 0-8. Then I could twist around every post by someone bragging about being good in fantasy football as, "you mean you are really really lucky, and also have a lot of luck on your side."
No hard feelings Cbats, you are allowed to shit talk when you win (even if in the wrong thread), I agree it's expected. I'm completely lost in fantasy football this year, and I've made that clear. I pay attention to this game when my A's typically suck ass this time of year. Before you call bullshit, understand I own an injuried WR on the worst team in football, and a guy who had -2 points over the first four games of the season (that is tough to do).

As fun as it is to shit talk, my team was autodrafted. I'm very aware that I had little to do with the success of my team.

I know everyone is getting screwed with byes this week, but if Dez Bryant can't play Sunday (he recently got hurt), I will have exactly one player I played last week. Low probability that happens very often.

I made four RGIII offers and all four were rejected. Come on, people! 36 points last week! I'm just looking for a starting RB or WR

Did anyone notice Rusty is in first place? Nice job dude. I'm auto drafting from this point forward forever.

He's been making some good waiver pickups as well. Good work dude.

Our league has been having a year similar to the NFL's, no team is pulling away yet. Only one team in the whole league is below 3-4 (although they're slated to beat me this week with like 115 points...wtf)

Also, glad we could make a trade for RGIII Drew, I'm looking forward to his impending season ending injury

Haha that was one of the things that kept me from pulling the trigger on the trade for Jackson.

Although I've made quite a few waiver pick ups, I think my success has a lot more to do with opponents having shitty days against me. My points for puts me near the bottom, it's my points against that keep me on top. Wonk has had the opposite luck in this aspect.

Speaking of waiver pick-ups, whoever the Man-tanners are always seem to grab the player I try to get first, almost every single week.

Same thing is happening in the other league I'm in with Womp. I'm in first but I really shouldn't be. Just getting lucky like this week where my opponent has half his team on a bye I was the opposite last year. Huge points but everyone else had their best day against me.

I'm not a fan of the waiver rules in this league. I've always played in leagues where the waiver priority is in inverse order of the draft, so the last pick has the number one priority. I didn't realize this league gives the highest waiver priority to the worst team. I didn't find that out until someone dropped Ben Tate early in the season, and since I had the last pick in the league, I knew he was mine. When he went to you (I think), I was pretty confused, so I had to read up on the rules. Looking back on it, I'm glad I didn't get him. I still think there is a lot more strategy involved in protecting your waiver pick. I could write another ten paragraphs about my waiver strategy in fantasy baseball this season (where I gave up my top pick to continually own the last pick).
In other words, CHUD beats you in waiver priority every week because he reads Matthew Berry.
