Week 13 Line-Ups

Some of my line-ups will be highly controversial, but I'm just going to take some chances this week.

Fleaflicker

London Silly Nannies (formerly the Portland Beavers) 4-4

QB Matt Stafford

RB LeSean McCoy

RB DeMarco Murray

WR Greg Jennings

WR Laurent Robinson

TE Brandon Pettigrew

K Robbie Gould

D Bengals

I changed the name just for fun and in reference to Family Guy. I'm disappointed that this team is not going to be in the playoffs, but I've found that there is very little room for error in this league.

Regardless, this team is projected to win 113.2 to 112.22

ESPN League

Spring Hellions 5-6

QB Philip Rivers

RB DeMarco Murray

RB DeAngelo Williams

WR Michael Crabtree

WR Roddy White

WR Victor Cruz

WR Laurent Robinson

TE Brandon Pettigrew

D Chargers

Like the team above, I'm playing for pride in this league. I've been on a 5 game win streak, but that may be in danger this week, as my opponent and good friend, Anthony, is slated to beat me 150-137.

CBS League

The Scary One (7-1)

QB Aaron Rodgers

RB Beanie Wells

RB Roy Helu

WR Laurent Robinson

WR Steve Smith

WR Vincent Brown

TE Aaron Hernandez

K Dan Bailey

D Patriots

Don't let the record fool you, this team is BARELY getting by in this league, as I've beaten opponents from 10 points to 5 points. My main staples, Fred Jackson, Jeremy Maclin are injured and I was foolish and let go of Decker when I thought Tim Tebow favored Demaryius Thomas more. This team is projected to lose 105-107.

NFL League:

Vegas Vegans (6-2)

QB Philip Rivers

RB Maurice Jones-Drew

RB DeMarco Murray

WR Calvin Johnson

WR Victor Cruz

TE Tony Gonzalez

WR Laurent Robinson

K Mason Crosby

D Patriots

I'm kicking myself that I had Tim Tebow on this team and let him go. Now, Tebow's been outscoring Rivers and I'm left at the mercy of San Diego. My only hope is if the December stride hits and Rivers becomes the Pro Bowl QB he was last season. This team is projected to win 119.28-114.47

Yahoo League

Los Angeles Riots (5-3)

QB Eli Manning

WR Laurent Robinson

WR Roddy White

WR Michael Crabtree

RB Darren Sproles

RB Michael Bush

TE Tony Gonzalez

K Dan Bailey

D Houston

This had been the league where I started out 0-3 and looked like it would be a waste of my time. 5 weeks later and I'm almost in the play-offs. Perhaps one more win will secure my spot. Lucky for me, my opponent may be a ghost ship, as he's left Michael Vick, Adrian Peterson and Dallas Clark in his line-up. At this point, I just want to be in the playoffs. This team is projected to win 88.21-55.29.

So yes, I know I'm taking gambles by trusting in Philip Rivers, Vincent Brown, Roy Helu and Brandon Pettigrew, but I can live with whatever happens. As I said, this is my first year playing Fantasy Football and it's all a learning experience for me.
