So I just dropped Larry Donnell....

and he goes for 3 TD's the next day........man that hurt.

And came very close to a 4th.

I don't know if this is worse, but I picked up Cousins as Russell's bye week replacement. Ugh.

I dropped Tom Brady and picked up Cousins myself, I am still not convinced it was the wrong move but yeah it stings a bit.

Everyone is saying drop Brady so I dont think its so bad.If Eli is still out there id pick him up, the NFC east games are going to be shootouts, and the new gints 0-Coordinator wants Eli to sling em this year, plus their sched is cake.

Look at this ridiculousness

On the other hand, I can't believe Eli might be my fantasy saviour this year. :34853_doh:

I chose Washington's defense to start this week since they historically own Eli. Oops.

My brother is facing a guy who just happened to start Donnell this week. He's boned.

Interesting fact, Donnell is averaging almost 8 targets a game this year, and has never had fewer than 6 targets in any game.

Eli Manning has thrown SEVEN TDs so far this season to his TEs.

Seven!

I'm amazed anyone would start Larry Donnell. It would be like starting Zach Miller or Luke Willson. I had a good laugh though, my brother is facing a guy who just happened to start Donnell this week.

I kid you not Kip, I started Eli and tried to pick up Donnell who was still on WW about two hours before game. I went with him because my other TE is Ertz. Just a lucky attempted pickup, Im not a fantasy savant.
Our stupid waiver wire priority was in effect because game was that day... :34853_doh:


I watched the game because I had Eli, no joke, he did not even LOOK at anyone else in redzone. Donnell is 6-6 and was just jumping like a billygoat and grabbing EVERYTHING. He's Eli's new BFF and will be at top of WW pick em up lists this Monday.

In other words, my priority is 10 out of 12, and some other pos in my league is going to get him easily.

I blame Bevell, and want him fired ASAP.

I'm putting in a waiver claim for him in my league. I usually stay away from players coming off of fluke games, but Eli has thrown almost all of his TD passes this season to his TEs. It's not just this game.

My opponent had Kyle Rudolph and Donnell. He then dropped Rudolph because of injury.

At one point I was already down 23 - 3. If not for Alfred Morris getting 15 total points I might be screwed. Fortunately my opponent's WR Corp sucks so I might pull out the win still.

Which, to brag, would make me 3-1 even though I lead the league in points against. ( Last week my opponent y had Julio Jones.) 2nd in points for by a measly 4.

I picked up Donnell after week 1 and am still starting him. He had the one huge game, but he's been a solid point producer all year. Course I had Witten on the bench- who's top week has been under 7 points and still doesn't have a TD. Just dumped Witten for Travis Kelse. ...
