Frusterating season so far..

Well.. since my team came out on fire I've gone 0-4. I'm a sore loser I guess you could say.. I dont like talking football when the Cowboys lose and/or my fantasy team loses so thats where my lack of posting has come from. Week 2 was absolutely horrible. I played against Chris Johnson who put up 52 points I believe.. and I had Hasselbeck in my lineup who cracked his rib at the 1 yard line. You can guess how that week turned out for me. That night the Cowboys handed the game to the Giants with me in attendence. Needless to say I wasn't in a good mood that week.

Last week.. well.. my team just couldnt find the end zone. I thought Edwards would play well at home against the Saints.. nope. The only passing TD came on a fake FG to the defensive end (in my money league with friends we have IDP.. and guess who had that defensive end? Yeah.. my opponent). I decided to give Leftwich a shot in my flex spot. He has been putting up real big numbers in losing efforts. Well.. after he throws for 28 yards he gets benched and loses his job. I got .28 points out of my flex spot.. wonderful. I had one thing that I was looking forward to last week.. and I actually had a chance to win my game going into Monday Night. I have said all along Felix Jones is one of the elite running backs in football and could carry a fantasy team which is why I stashed him on every single team I have. Monday Night was the time for him to come through for me. It seemed like almost every single run he almost broke free for a long touchdown. 96 yards on 8 carries.. everyone was screwed because I had him. Then he goes down with a knee injury? Freakin wonderful. I lose again.

Whats wrong with my team? Eh.. I'm honestly happy with the players I have. I think the Barber mishap may actually work out for me now. I'm at the edge of the Mcfadden bandwagon that I've been the driver of since last season. If he doesnt perform this week against a terrible Houston run D he never will. I still think he's great but Im seriously questioning if they will ever be able to get running room with Russell at QB. If he doesnt perform this week I'll just be rolling with AP and Barber.. and I also have Coffee and Taylor to play with if I need to. I like my recievers. I actually am very excited about Braylon Edwards with Anderson at QB. I think he is ready to blow up and if he does my team gets a big boost. I've added Anderson as a QB to my roster.. he has potential. The last time the Browns started 0-2 he came in, blew up, and almost led them to the playoffs. His first game that year I believe was against the Bengals. Deja vu? I want to play him this week but I cant justify playing him over Coffee who gets the Rams this week.

I still think my team can go far. I was 2-4 last year also and then my team blew up.. I like this team better than last years team.. so we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I start getting a few bounces and my luck turns.. because bad matchups and injuries have been my down fall so far.

Sad to see James Davis go down for the year.. I had just spent too many points on him to sign him as he was a big sleeper for me this year. I just replaced him with Bernard Scott who will be the hottest waiver wire pickup if anything was to happen to Cedric Benson.
