My waiver to drop Nate Burleson and add Torrey Smith says Sept. 28, so I'm guessing it won't go through until tomorrow.

There is a waiver order. Go to league home and you can see it. Also, if someone ahead of you in the waiver order wants the player you have claimed, they can claim him ahead of you, even if you already have the transaction in process. Another words, if I was ahead of Will in the waiver order, I could claim Torrey Smith and I would get him and Will wouldn't. Never post about who you are trying to claim because a lot of managers don't check the league pending transactions but if you post about it, someone could snatch who you want. I went to claim Torrey Smith myself but Will already had him in line and I did the gentleman thing, I don't even know if Will is ahead of me in the waiver line or not, and didn't claim him.

I have had players pulled out from under me before, many times.

The waiver order is set to first-come first serve IIRC, so I didn't matter that I told you.

Also I knew my waiver for Smith was listed as #1.

THIS IS IT.


D-Day. Game of the Season.


3-0 Division Leader Chris Fowler vs. 3-0 Division Leader Will.


I have lit up the league so far, scoring just shy of 500 points, 55 points more than Jay13 and over 100 points more than any other team.


Chris Fowler has been consistently good and scored enough to win all three games so far.


Both teams have some attractive point scoring opportunities this week.


For me, Brady and Welker against a Raiders defense that has given up POINTS.


For Fowler, Matt Ryan against a horrendous Seattle team who's offense will give Matt Ryan PLENTY of possessions, and Vikings Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson against the fail-fest that is the 2011 Kansas City Chiefs, down their best weapon to keep possession on offense (Charles) and best defender (Berry).


Can't wait. Only major line-up change for me this week - sitting WR Andre Johnson (vs. Pittsburgh) and starting WR Stevie Johnson (vs. Cincinnati).

Nice match up! Just remember, early juggernauts have faded down the stretch more times than not.

You should do very well. Who in the hell would have thought that 2 of the top four running backs in the league would do so ****ing bad this year? Chris Johnson and Michael Turner are BUSTS.

Alas:

Waiver Type: Reverse order of standings

I've got a host of WR options I'm debating as well.

Vincent Jackson against Miami? Miami's been giving up passing yards by the bushel.
Brandon Marshall against San Diego? Miami's been throwing the ball all over the place and Marshall is a common target.
DeSean Jackson against San Francisco? Is Vick going to play? Jackson is often feast or famine, but I may need a feast to win this week
Percy Harvin against Kansas City? Just how much will Minnesota have to throw this week? Hard to sit Harvin.

I'd start Vincent Jackson and Marshall in your position.


Marshall is the best of all four, and San Diego has allowed points, hell, they almost let the sorry-ass CHIEFS come back and beat them.

V. Jackson slight edge over D. Jackson and Harvin. Minnesota sucks, its their 1st half performances that are flukes, McNabb is terrible and the Redskin are better on offense with REX FREAKING GROSSMAN than McNabb. Philadelphia is playing what has been the best defense out of all the teams your WRs are facing, and we don't know how bad Vick's off-hand will effect him.

So...Harvin and Jackson you say?

(advice from my opponent...hmm...)

[Will]

It's GAME TIME.

[Will]

Brady 2 Welker TD Baby !!!


Badly needed, Fowler was putting the smack-down on me. Little closer now.

[Burnt C6]

Holy shit I might win one

[Jeff '79]

I suck........That is all.

Well, maybe not. You are in danger of losing your first game, Will.
