JediDefender Fantasy Football 2004

This is odd. The StatTracker thing at Yahoo.com was suppose to only be a free trial until Sept 13th. Yet I'm able to pull it up and view the up to the minute fantasy scoring. Here are the scores thru the 1st quarter of the 2 Sunday night games:

Canuckleheads - 46.71
ThatOneTeam - 18.86

 

Can't pull it up here, so thanks. 

Looks like I lost McNair, at least for a little bit.  Owing a lot to Javon Walker this week.   Going to drop resoundingly out of first though, but it's looking like I'll go 3-0.  Next week, another stinkin' Minnesotan.

Defending Champs - 49.97   
Springfield Isotopes - 49.90

Dammit! Of course, thinking the Colts were going to split the carries more between Rhodes and James, I started both of them instead of Wheatley, who has done crap this year until the first quarter of tonight's game.

Oh well, that's the way it goes, I suppose.

[chuckles]

You might have lost more than McNair. Your other QB, Gannon got hurt in the first quarter of the game tonight. A helmet to helmet hit and they took him in to take X-rays of his back. He was able to walk off under his own power but who knows how severe it is. You might have lost BOTH your QBs this week.

Yep, that might have cost you the game. But, I still have the Oakland DEF going tonight for me, so I'll likely pick up a few more points along the way.

Oh sure, mr. sunshine has to make it rain too   However, being the eternal optimist and a happy idiot all rolled into one, I'll camly point out that despite my optimism at having Gannon, he is only my third string QB.  My second string QB beat the first guy injured today and had a better game.  Leftwich finished the game healthy, so I'm not screwed.  Yet. 

[chuckles]

Ah, that's right. I forgot about you having Leftwich. You got lucky. This time. 

[Morgbug]

Meh, just added Volek as well.  Just in case.  And while McNair is co-MVP and everyone keeps telling me that he'll step up, thus far he's been <200 yds in the air and a single TD per game.  That's fine, but not terribly hard to match.  Quite similar to what Leftwich has done and presumably Volek should do similarly well.

[Nicklab]

I think I might take back my lead today, Brent!   

[Morgbug]

I think I might take back my lead today, Brent!   

I think you already have.  I'll get ya next week.  I hope.

[Rob]

And I'm pretty sure I just lost Garner for a long time.

But I've got Pittman and he comes back from suspension next week...

[Scott]

[Scott]

In 3 leagues I'm a collective 2-7   I can't remember a worse start for good ole Oand3CB

[Jeff]

Holy crap can Nick's team score points!   

Eh, well, I was pretty sure I wasn't gonna go undefeated... especially with Vick playing like he did on Sunday.  NO TDs against ARIZONA?!?  WTF?   

Jeff

[Rob]

I managed to score 53 points while only getting one TD total from my recievers and running backs.  Gotta love a kicker who scores 22 points in one week.   

[Nicklab]

Holy crap can Nick's team score points!   

It's just been dumb luck.  BTW, look at Quentin Griffin.  He hasn't done SQUAT for me since week 1.  I'm depending so much on my WR's for points, that I'm probably gonna get shut down at some point.  This week could be bad for me since the Vikings have a bye week.
