In the end all I really needed was 1 TD from Santana Moss on Monday night. After the horrible Sunday I had, all I needed was 1 TD from Sexy Rexy to the Cowboy killer, Santana Moss, whom I had to pick up because of Manningham’s feeble concussion. Regardless, the TD just wasn’t in the cards. In all my time playing Fantasy Football, I can’t recall being in a position like I was in this week. 2 of my 3 RBs were questionable, game time decisions, and in the afternoon games. 1 of the guy’s backups was also on my team but Questionable as well and playing a tough Def to boot. Another one of my players is already completely Out. There just aren’t enough bench spots in the world. Add some more bench spots. No. And drop that W/R spot. Again, no. I had to drop a kicker just so I could pick up another RB and contemplate over who to start for an hour before the game. Fantasy Football… you are not my friend. You’re challenging but not my friend. 2 of my RBs got me a combined 7.3 points. All 3 combined didn’t even get me 20. Nothing good happened aside from my new kicker getting me 18 of my 110 total, feeble, points. This has to be the bottom right? It can’t possibly get any worse. In week 3, I guess that’s a good thing.

Oh, by the way, this is the first week where the Turner over McFadden autodraft completely cost me one. Crappy Internet 1 – Me 0.

I wasn’t even supposed to have to watch the game on Monday night. It wasn’t supposed to be close. He had an injured Hackeem Nicks and I had a 3 point lead, Mario Manningham AND Cadillac Williams. Meanwhile into the 2nd quarter, Nicks had a TD, I was only up by 1 point and was waiting for the 2nd shoe to drop. At the half I had a putrid 5 point lead.

Through 3 and I have a 6 point lead meaning any Nicks TD puts me down. That’s because Manningham never made it out of the locker room after the half and Cadillac Williams left all he had back in St. Louis against Philadelphia last week. I have a RB and a WR through 3 and just over 10 points. Why do fantasy sports need to come to this? I’m not supposed to be live blogging this. I’m supposed to be watching something other than the Giants whooping on the Rams. Something way better. Anything.

Somehow I managed to squeeze by but c’mon… a RB and a WR should have easily netted me 20 points. Not 11.7. Oh well. A win’s a win and I’ll take it. But if total points come into play at the end of the year and I somehow get screwed by 9 points, I’ll know where to look. On to the rest.

The week, overall, was alright. Points wise my 159 total really got me caught up from the measly 119 last week. Nobody was spectacular, just steady. We’ll leave it at that. I’m starting Rex Grossman now though so that can’t be good. He started the game with just over 100 yards and 2 picks. That was fun. Rebounded though to get the 20 points that I wasn’t expecting. Bradford on my bench did that as well. Aaron Rodgers? Don’t get me started. It took him until the last second to get me 25 points. Sure, he got me the 25 points that I expect each week but I don’t like sweating it. Oh well. Again a win’s a win. I don’t expect another one next week though. Boy, this head to head thing sure is fun.

Well that didn’t go so well. The season started on Thursday with my #1 pick Aaron Rodgers going up against my Saints defense. I also had Jimmy Graham. Rodgers came out scorching but the Pack went up so big so fast they took their foot off the gas and let Drew Brees and the Saints come back like mad. I got a TD from Jimmy Graham but my Def got beat bad. I expected it though and I even got the Def TD that I was counting on but it wasn’t enough. Drew Brees was forced to throw and that he did. I knew the week was over at that point.

Have I mentioned before that I’m relying heavily on the Rams offense? Sunday started off good with Steven Jackson busting out a 47 yard TD on the first touch of the game. He never even got touched. 1 play later and he was out of the game. 12 points on 2 carries. Sam Bradford made it through most of the game but it was a sad display as far as QB’ing goes. Then he came out of the game injured. 5.62 points. The Eagles may have single handedly ended my fantasy season.

Not much else to write home about. The Falcons got trounced; Michael Turner got 100 yards but no TDs. Beanie Wells came out hot with 16 points in the first half but the Cardinals were throwing the rest of the way and he only ended with 20.4.

I got absolutely no production from my WRs. I didn’t see the Chargers game but it looks like Philip Rivers was content dumping the ball off to Mike Tolbert rather than throw to Vincent Jackson. Mario Manningham has utterly worthless Eli Manning throwing to him so that may be a lost cause right there. Eli looked as sad as ever this week. I know he won’t lay down against the Eagles like he did today against the Skins. I don’t like him very much.

In the end, it was a thorough trouncing. I lost by 23.37 points. I expected it though going up against what I originally thought was the best team in the league. I ended with 119.79 points which I never would have been too disappointed with in year’s past. It would have been a solid week, especially after losing 2 players to injuries during the week. So goes head to head I guess. I made a mistake!

Next week is another week. Lets just see if I’ll actually have Jackson and Bradford back in the mix. If not, things may be dicey. I should have a favorable matchup to bring my record back to .500 at least. We shall see.
