Fantasy Football Rookie (Week 16)

Friday Morning - 

QB - Cam Newton, Kirk Cousins
RB - Matt Forte, Eddie Lacy
WR - Calvin Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Riley Cooper
TE - Julius Thomas
K - David Akers
D/ST - 49ers
D - NaVorro Bowman, Nick Roach

I picked up Kirk Cousins to start in place of Joe Flacco, partly because Flacco has a minor injury, but mostly because Cousins had a great game last week and is going up against the worst passing defense this week. It might be a risk, but at this point it's one I'm willing to take.

Fantasy Football Rookie (Week 15)

Tuesday Morning - 

BEAR DOWN!

A great ending to a lackluster fantasy week. Joe Flacco's incredible fourth quarter saved my week from being completely abysmal, but I was kind of killed by the fact that my kicker (Detroit's, of course) didn't get a single point in that crazy blizzard, and all of my wide receivers (two of which were also in that game) had pretty sad games. The silver lining is that no one on my bench had a great game either; my best possible score this week would have been just seven points above what I got.

I have two players in Thursday night's game, both of whom I'll probably start. (It figures that Julius Thomas finally has a game before my backup Fleener's... now that he's healthy again.) I'll take a look at the rest of my roster later this week.

Thursday Afternoon - 

QB - Cam Newton, Joe Flacco
RB - Matt Forte, Knowshon Moreno
WR - Calvin Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Riley Cooper
TE - Julius Thomas
K - David Akers
D/ST - 49ers
D - NaVorro Bowman, Nick Roach

Friday Morning - 

Wow, Thomas and Moreno both had pretty disappointing nights. Seems to be my running theme lately...

Fantasy Football Rookie (Week 14)

Monday Morning - 

I'm back in third, and the two people ahead of me aren't even done yet...

On the plus side, I don't have anyone in the Thursday game next week!

Friday Morning - 

QB - Cam Newton, Joe Flacco
RB - Matt Forte, Knowshon Moreno
WR - Calvin Johnson, Pierre Garcon, Riley Cooper
TE - Julius Thomas*
K - David Akers
D/ST - Ravens
D - NaVorro Bowman, Nick Roach

*Thomas once again has a late kickoff while Fleener has an early one, so I may need to make that call before I want to. But it sounds promising that he'll be back this week.

(Can you tell I'm losing my enthusiasm for this? I don't think I'll be doing fantasy again next year...)
