Peyton and Jimmy Graham with horrendous days -- I wonder how many fantasy teams had both those guys and got torpedoed today.

[Judge Jude]

Hoyer is the first QB to have 0 TD, 2+ picks and under 200 yards passing in 3 straight games since.... Heath Shuler in 1997. Maybe Hoyer, too, has a future as a Congressman - he has the name for it at least.

Week 14, and the Bucs both finally get eliminated from playoff contention and grab the No 1 slot in the NFL draft for now. THAT is a bad division, ladies and germs.

Down by 24 in my playoff matchup with one player left and my opponent finished. My only hope is if Antonio Gates tonight gets 100 yards and 2 TDs vs New England (or 3 TD's with 50 yards). It doesn't look good for my fantasy team.

[Erik]

What was with Denver, did they just not need to pass to win? Luckily, in my pivotal matchup in Liz Hurley, my getting nothing from D. Thomas was offset by my opponent's getting nothing from Manning.

[revo]

Both Zach Mettenberger & Andre Ellington are done for the season.

[chancellor]

If Harbaugh wasn't done in San Fran before, he almost certainly is after the Niners tanked against the Raiders.

And I do think Oakland has found themselves a running back....

Has anyone heard me say how much I hate this f'n game??!!

Got 59.6 pts from Romo/Bryant/Jeffrey on Thursday...pretty good lead...1st round opponent had no one...
Got 16 from Forsett (thank GOD for that late TD), 30.6 from OBJ and 11.1 from the Texans D (picked them over the G men), but only 1 from K Rudolph...So, heading into the late games, from which I had Hauaschka, I was sitting at 118.9 with Lacy to still go on Monday, and I ended up with 125.9. You would think I would be sitting pretty...now, the bad news...

Other owner - 38.4 from RWilson, 18 from Baldwin, 14 from Watkins, 12.9 from LMiller and 13.5 from Kelce, 5 from Stedman Bailey 6 from the Bills D and 8 from Sturgis for 118.2...pretty good for me, right??!!

Oh, I forgot...the other owner had L'veon F*CKING Bell for another 50.2 points!!!

So, now, I'm sitting 39.6 points behind with Lacy going tomorrow....not impossible (only one game >30pts this year though), but Jesus F'ng Christ...I had this, I f'n had this!!!!!

I hate this game!

It's amazing that Jonas Gray has completely disappeared from the Patriot offense.

[Pauly]

Dear Peyton and Demariyus....f off dudes I hope you lose in the first round of the playoffs like I will (barring a randall cobb 30-pointer)

[madducks]

It's amazing that Jonas Gray has completely disappeared from the Patriot offense.

Maybe he should leave the stadium during the game, get released, and then sign with a playoff bound team. It worked for Blount.

[madducks]

Josh Gordon (2 points) and Greg Zuerlein (minus 2 points) teamed up to bounce me from the playoffs. Only needed 19 more points from these guys.

[Erik]

It's amazing that Jonas Gray has completely disappeared from the Patriot offense.

Example #1,809,723 why you shouldn't own NE RBs in fantasy.

[Friarfan]

Almost shot myself in the foot for switching out Mike Evans for Crowell but squeaked by because of Donta Hightower late inactive (IDP league) and my opponenet couldn't switch him out so he gets a zero.
