I believe it was Spacegoats who I attempted to trade for jimmy Graham with Gronk + one of my WRs.
Bit fed up after Gronk and McGahee are injured for me now.
I think Villain and I are both happy with our trade outcome.
I think the point I tried to make, Ken was to make FGs by yards as a 40yarder is much less difficult than a 49yarder.
I still think a 16 team league is great. There's loads of depth in FA and Waivers, you just gotta look for it. I know a couple of GTP members who wouldve loved to join this season but we were full.

It was and it was a very tempting offer that I almost accepted.
Real glad, I didn't now.
Sad times for me haha.
McGahee out for a month along with Gronk.
Dumped Kendricks, Paulsen and Pitta expecting Gronk to run riot but sadly I was naive.
I'm scavenging around for a TE now and it looks like I'm going to going start three Jags this week.

I thought we had loads of depth.
Pitta has a concussion. Don't feel bad about dumping him.
Oh there is. You just gotta gamble on sleepers if you're like me and put your back-up TEs and RBs in waivers hoping your starters don't get injured. Haha. In terms of WR and QB there's plenty with lots of injuries around at the moment.
Picked up Sanders and Michael Bush and brought Scobee to be my kicker. That makes 4 Jags in my line-up for Week 12 with Henne on the bench.
Forbath got the same amount of points as Tucker for me this week and could've been even more if they didn't run a couple of fourth downs.

With the Free Agent and Waiver Market spicing up and the deadline passing, many team owners are looking to find plugs for their concussed quaterbacks, misfiring kickers and injured running backs. With Shaun Suisham being tossed around like a ragdoll this season (four times in waivers) and many sleepers coming into play, the time is now for a bit of analysis.
Top 5 Worst Drops of the 2012 NFL Season
5. Dennis Pitta (Bal - TE) - Doomsday Defense:
Cowboys was gifted the starting TE for Baltimore in a trade this season and dumped him just before his big gameday of 12.70 points against Oakland. The TE market is paper thin at the moment and whether it was bad luck or ignorance, he also gave Ball Busters a gift of Mark Ingram who had his breakout performance last week with 12.80 points.
4. Carson Palmer (Oak - QB) - Peil Eire:
FunkyDucks didn't use waivers or free agents much this season but when he did he dumped Lance Moore, Carson Palmer and Emmanuel Sanders all in the same day. On paper not too bad but Carson Palmer had been solid all season and he gave Ball Busters points totals of 14, 29, 19 and 17 in the following weeks.
3. Laurence Tynes (NYG - K) - Adrenaline:
Adrenaline has been searching for his perfect kicker nearly all-season long and even the most reliable one of them all, Tynes who has yet to give less than 5 points this season wasn't good enough. We'll see later today if he was worth the drop. Adrenaline also dumped Suisham today who matches up against Cleveland. If history is anything to go by, he dumped Phil Dawson who scored 16 points in the following game. He now places his play-off hopes in the recently quiet Legatron's feet.
2. Cecil Shorts (Jac - WR) - London Llamas:
A day after Cecil's not too shabby output of 5.60 points against Detroit in Week 9, Chqr dumps the leading Jag WR. Cecil then gives Dingus outputs of 16.50 and 14.10 in Weeks 10 and 11. Only bit of reconciliation for the London Llamas was the grab of Blackmon. This is the same guy who dumped Matt Prater and Colin Kaepernick hours before their big game-days.
1. New England (DEF) - The Wicky Radsters:
The Wicky Radsters are chasing down rivals Gooks of Hazard and the Wicky Radsters out of the blue dumped the mighty Pats on the 31st October seemingly over-relying on the shaky giants. What's more? New England game superb outputs of 8, 21 and 25 points in the following weeks and to make matters worse, NE ended up in the Gooks of Hazard's hands.

Good news, I've moved up to 4th, thanks to a 3 game win streak.
Bad news, Desean Jackson has been placed on I.R and there's no one of real note left in FA to replace him with.
Well, I've lost Vick, McGahee, Gronkowski, Tate and Parmele all to injuries in the past two weeks. Haha. That's in effect my top 4 draft picks. My line-up these last two weeks have been all been FA picks or trades bar Dalton.
Hard luck on losing Desean but he's not worth a start with Foles in. Desean iMHO is very overrated in fantasy value much like Vick and McCoy are.
I apologise for taking some of the tidy WRs when they were sleepers in Sanu, Edelman and Broyles.

I'm with you on that, I normally wouldn't be concerned about Desean because over the past few weeks he's scored basically nothing. But considering how deep this league is and how bare the FA agents stocks are, it's a pain to find someone to replace him.

That's fine.
If I didn't have T.Y Hilton and Brendon LaFell, I'd be more a lot more worried.
Now, which one of them do I start this week? *Flips a coin*

Just a heads up guys. My Yahoo account that I associate with both GTP and the FFL league was compromised last night and a mass email sent out. If you got anything from me (foolkiller79@yahoo.com) don't open it. I didn't send it.
