NFL football has now hit week 13, for fantasy
players this may be the biggest week of the season. A win here and a loss to
someone else may be the difference between you getting in the playoffs or
sitting back in the losers watching the top teams brawl for champion. The weeks
have gotten harder and harder, waiver wire claims are getting slim picking.
Hopefully you are in playoff contention and understand the same pain I do. With
such few players that are worthy picking up, since you are at the top ranks in
the league you get the left over’s... if there is any.
Not too long ago I remember holding
first place with no way seeing anyone was going to catch me. Then the dreaded injuries
kicked in. Demarco Murray gets injured and counting on six weeks now riding the
bench with possible one or two more before he plays. I decide I need to do something
drastic to keep me ahead. I trade Jordy Nelson for Chris Johnson, at the time
Cj was averaging 6 points per game and Nelson put up about 9. I needed a
running back and I had potential on my side. The trade was accepted. Though
since Thursday games started we had to wait a week before we each had our new
player and Jordy put up career stats with 121 yard and 3TDs for fantasy points!
I began to second guess my trade but there was no going back and luckily Jody hasn’t
done anything like that while CJ woke up
and is playing like he is suppose to. That wasn’t the end, Ray Lewis went down
and there goes the Raven D fence. Now I just lost DeSean Jackson leaving me
with very few options to choose for players to start and this being a must win
week in order to make the playoffs.
