The rich get richer as league-leader Dio wins the waiver wire contest for Roy Williams. There's no word on whether the drugs that caused Phanatic to drop Williams in lieu of holding onto Greg Jennings have worn off yet.

Diomedes

I was hoping my 4th position on the waiver wire would be sufficient.  Good news for me.  Why the hell anyone would drop a bona fide #1 reciever, I don't know.  Sure, the Lions suck..but they have to throw the ball to someone.  Moreover, he's got no one threatening to supplant him as the primary target.  WTF were you thinking Phanatic?

#137
Apparently he was convinced that Williams sucks based on the amount of fantasy points he put up against the Seahawks* and Bears**. Jennings, although virtually absent against the Bears, had a decent game against New Orleans*** last week, putting his overall fantasy points above Williams for the year so far.

* allowed 16 points so far this season
** allowed 7 points so far this season
*** allowed 41 points so far this season against the Browns and Packers

The sweetest news isn't just that I landed Williams.  It's that I traded Amani Toomer for DeShaun Foster.  I'm was weak at RB and I didn't particularly need the bother of "will Toomer show up today," so I was more than happy to take that trade.  Foster is still the starter as of this week, and even if he loses the role, he's much more valuable on my bench than Toomer (or whoever I bench in place of him) would have been.

Then I got Williams and dumped Burleson.   Two starters for two non starters, improving both WR and RB.  Ha!

You lucky bastich.  What moron released him?

QB Eagles

OK maybe Phanatic was a genius after all. Jennings just had a 75 yard TD.

That worked out good for me too, since I was overloaded at RB & shaky at WR. I already had Deangelo Williams, so Foster was going to do nothing for me.

Both Jennings and Williams have nice TDs.  Jennings' is of course worth more because it's twice the distance, but I'm still happy to have Williams instead of Toomer, and Foster instead of Burleson.

The person who dropped Roy Williams should be banned from life.

Worst to first, stillupfront's moms.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Looks like a good week for me, as well. Even a blind squirrel...or whatever.

I still have almost half my team left to play:

Vick, Horn, Colston, Carney.

QB Eagles

In terms of fantasy points, that looks more like 1/8 of your team.

Vick has been a points machine.  Carney's been money also.  Otherwise, yes.

Diomedes

Third week in a row I'm on top.  Suckaz.
