The big trade I was expecting happened. Kevin and Chris swapped a WR and RB. This season saw a lot more trading than the previous 2 seasons. A lot of meaningful trades happened and I enjoyed talking to about half the players about possible trades.
The other big news this week involve injuries. A whole shitload of players were hurt. Chris might have gotten the shortest end of the stick since he traded away his 3rd top RB and wound up with no depth at that spot. Can Chris still make the playoffs with that roster? Brian, AK and Kevin also took big hits at RB too.
*Week 10 Review – Highlights from Week 10
I lost to Tim. I’m a bit concerned about my record against Tim. I’m 1-5 in 3 seasons and that record fucking sucks. I could blame a ton of people for my loss. For example: Falcons DST for laying a fucking egg, MJD for taking a knee at the 1 yard line, Addai for not making it into the end zone on that last drive or Ray Rice for not going all crazy. Instead, I have to blame myself for picking the Falcons DST instead of any other team.
Rhett beat the shit out of Matt. Doubled his score is what he did. Matt’s playoff hopes might have been sealed with this loss.
Chris lost to AK even though Chris Johnson put up 35 points. Chris drops a game behind Dave.
Dave beat Kevin in a game with lots of playoff ramifications. Dave put up week leading points and Kevin’s WRs let him down. Dave is just a game behind division leader Derek. Kevin is now 2 games behind Tim due to his 4 game skid.
Derek continues to pile on wins. This week it was against Brian. Derek looks to be in good shape to get to the playoffs.
*Best plays and worse plays (yeah, that’s right, not worst, just worse than the best)
Kevin got a good trade from Chris. I’m sure he’s glad it was Jones and NOT Benson.
Chris, what happened to having backup RBs?
I suck at picking DSTs some weeks.
*Interview – Thank you Tim for your response.
Newsletter: What’s going well for your team this season?
Tim: Reggie wayne has been consistently hot. He’s saved my ass many times. My TEs have been outstanding and my waiver wire dsts have been great.
Newsletter: What isn’t going so well?
Tim: My Rbs have been hit or miss and my second WR has been a nightmare.
Newsletter: Who’s team do you fear facing the most?
Tim: I fear all the Chinese teams. Fucking Asian superiority. This isn’t even math. Wtf? [quit kicking my ass all the time then. -ed]
Newsletter: What has been the key to your success or the cause of your failures?
Tim: I would say that the lack of pregame trash talk ha brought good karma. Injuries have plagued my rbs.
Newsletter: Which of your guys has been the most surprising success?
Tim: Brent Celek was a sick noname draft.
Newsletter: Which of your guys has been the most disappointing?
Tim: Barber sucks monkey balls.
*Looking forward
Frankson needs to snap that losing streak against Dave. Dave’s still fighting for his playoff spot but my team finally has a solid DST in the upcoming games. (I predict my own victory)
Chris and Kevin are both in 3rd place and both need wins badly. Chris only appears to be hurting at RB because Johnson can get enough points for 2 players every week. Both team’s playoff hopes appear to ride on this game. (I expect Kevin to win)
AK and Matt battle for the bottom of the division. (AK should get the win)
Tim and Derek are in a moderately important game. Winner might seal his playoff spot but the loser is still in the running. (Derek is going to win)
Rhett and Brian battle for the bottom of their division. (Rhett is going to win)
Four games left in the regular season. The playoff picture is clearing up.
