Well, in Fantasy Football one key ingredient to surviving is to have a short memory. It goes both ways really. You have to remember that 1. Your team is never as good as you think and more importantly
2. Your team is never as bad as you think.
This game will eat you up and spit you out if you fail to obey these simple rules. That is why you see guys quit in week 6,7, or 8 because they can't abide by rule #2. So we all need to keep everything in perspective so we arn't shocked if things fall apart.
But, on that solemn note: We kicked some serious ass this week, making up ground in 2 leagues(Danielle's and the Invitational) remaining steady(Robb's team) and started to push the pedal down in the Auction League.
Ray Ray's Revenge-Main Event
On the heels of a devastating loss in which I messed up, I learned my lesson and stuck with WR Dez Bryant over WR Jordy Nelson and was rewarded this week as Dez stepped up again with 23.7 pts. Our team in general responded after an early injury to WR Roddy White(knee) He returned and played with it so I am hopeful he will be ok. Part of the reason I wanted to draft guys on good teams is I figured if they suffered tweaks and pains, they would be more apt to return and play faster because they were playing for contending teams. That is why you take Roddy White over say Larry Fitzgerald or to a lesser degree Calvin Johnson. We'll see if he plays Thursday night but my guess is he will suit up. We put up 153 pts so far with K Mike Nugent left. We will be leading record and points but there is a team on our heels and it appears it will come down to a Week 11 match-up. mono-e-mono. We have a 50 or so point lead on him for total points so we could still take the overall points championship.
Rae Rae's Revenge-Main Event
Danielle's team went for 166 and still have K Mike Nugent going tonight. She needed a big week and got one. I picked up WR Seyi Ajirotutu and started him rewarding us with 27 pts. I told you I needed to hit the waiver wire and it turned to gold. She also received a good total from RB's Ray Rice and Arian Foster and still believe in my heart her team is the best chance we have at $300,000. Her team is so explosive and she has the trio of RB that can win the whole thing. If WR Vincent Jackson can come back and she can win her league championship; watch out.
Ray Ray's Revenge-Auction League
The Auction team is poised, focused, and hitting on all cylinders. I talked about needing to push the pedal down last week. Our team only came out and put up 197 pts. I have never scored so many points in one week the past 7 years of competition. Our Giants trio led us again pacing a team that now boasts a 110 point lead for the overall title. There are 7 long weeks ahead but things are looking positive right now for us to be a major player for the $5,000 overall title.
Ray Ray's Revenge-Invitational League
The invitational team is winning by 48 points going into MNF but the opponent still has QB Carson Palmer and WR Terrell Owens. Our team is the favorite to win tonight but there is a reasonable chance that he could beat us. With a win we can close the gap in the Division Standings to a single game and trail the leader by 15 points. If there is a tie the tie breaker is total points so we are right there for the Division title.
These weeks the chaff gets separated from the wheat. Teams that were hanging on by a thread are no more. Teams that are contenders step up to the plate, accept the chance that they may be disappointed; but go on with No Fear in their hearts and confidence in their eyes.
I will leave you with highlights of TD 1 and TD 2 from Seyi Ajirotutu and his big time performance for Rae Rae's Revenge.
