Atlas Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Moderator: Welcome to this Monday's meeting of Fantasy Over-Thinkers Anonymous. Who would like to speak first? Atlas? Atlas: Hi. My name is Atlas and I'm a Fantasy Over-Thinker. Group: Hi Atlas. Moderator: Why don't you tell us about your last couple weekends. Atlas: Well, I had got real lucky and got AP in the third round of my draft. I was ecstatic. Then later, I grabbed Gerhart. That's when my problems started. See, AP wasn't a sure thing. He's coming off the surgery. He wasn't being hit in practice. It went from an anouncement on Saturday to a game time decsion. I couldn't resist. I figured if he played, he would be limited. I started Gerhart. He had a great preseason. Moderator: And what happened? Atlas: AP goes for 2 TD's. Moderator: and what's our motto? Group? Group: (In unison) Always start your studs. Moderator: And what about this weekend? Atlas: Well, after that horrible performance by GB DST in week one, I started second guessing my draft. I thought that GB played a weak enough schedule and had enough rookie QBs that they would take advantage of the sacks and INTs. But they looked putrid angainst San Francisco. Moderator: And? Atlas: The Oakland DST was available on my waiver wire. Sitting there all by themselves. I got them for a dollar! They were playing Miami for heavens sake! Miami!! They scored ONE point. One stinken' point! Moderator: And Green Bay? Atlas: 7 sacks and 4 interceptions. 20 points. Moderator: And how did your teams do? Atlas; Won both games Moderator: It appears that you are what we call a "Functional Over-thinker". You can go through life and no one would ever suspect that you are leaving all those points on your bench because you cover it up well. But with time, its going to cost you. Maybe not this week. Maybe not next. But one weekend you're going to reach for that over-think bottle one time too many and end up on the wrong end of the scoring. Moderator: Anyone else like to speak?

LB49ers Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I only carried 1 D usually but since I picked up Dall D decided to start them over GB due to Chi supposed high powered offense, I think I got fooled by the indy game, so FAIL for me.

UnclePab Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Went with NE defense, 'cause Arizona stinks, right? Sat GB defense 'cause Chicago has such an awesome offense this year. Meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thews40 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Sat Vick and started Schaub. Better QB against a great D vs. a good QB against a bad D... going against a bad D with good RB's means you really don't have to do much more than hand the ball off.

Scorcher Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 First I want to say very clever Atlas. Since the only way this works is to be completely honest I picked up the Raiders D and kept Seattle on my bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Retail Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I also grabbed Raider d and left Seattle on the bench because of their "tough" matchup. Luckily still won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydarl Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Too funny. One of my teams, I have Stafford & RGIII. That was like straight crack when it came to over-thinking this past week. Went with Stafford, I won, but still. Same dilemma this week, but through self-therapy I'm now at peace leaving Stafford in place. Being 2-0 helps with this peace.
