Title: AAARRGHH! How can this team be 1-3?!

McNabb
Ahman, Rudi, F Taylor & QGriffin
DJax, KRob, DBranch, JPorter, Wayne
DGraham
Seabass
TB

All but McNabb have been disappointments thus far. I don't know if I need to try to trade or what, but I'm nearing the point of no return here!

2 seattle WRs? i would grab someone else on the waivers...no need for 2 WRs on one team

The team looks good on paper.

McNabb should be solid all year (barring injury, but that's the case with anyone).

Ahman and Rudi are weekly starters, and Fred is a very solid backup, but he clearly isn't the same back as last year. Griffin is nothing but trade bait at this point, and not even tasty bait at that.

Your WRs are a bit shaky. I'd start DJax and Porter from here on out, with Branch getting matchup starts once healthy. Wayne is a solid bench guy who will have some huge games and some clunkers. Try to trade K-Rob (package him with Griffin) for a better WR or defense (see below).

Kickers are kickers, so Janko should be fine.

I have reservations about the TB defense. They are OK, but their offense won't help them at all, reducing their value. See if you can trade for a better one.

yeah, been trying to trade Krob all year, but no takers. Think I've finally talked the Santana Moss owner into an even up trade. I've been on him for a while.

But WRs aren't my problem. My "stud" RBs are not getting it done. Ahman has had 3 bad weeks, Taylor is busting and Rudi is hit and miss so far.

I just fell to 1-3 in my money league. Only one team in the league has scored more total points than me. My team has been very consistent, as there is only one other team who has scored more than 100 points in every game (and he is 4-0). The league average is 91 ppg.

Just keep hoping my luck will turn around and I'll actually play a team on their bad week.

2 reasons, packers suck and rudi is not playing to his potentail, but he did pick it up a bit last weekend. I have him on my team too and I still have sky high hopes for him to be a top notch rb. Man your teams rbs sound a lot like mine, but how the heck did you get those three. They are all teams number ones and all should of been drafted in 1st or 2nd rounds. At least Mcnabb is outstanding for you this year. In the long run your team should be able to get out of the funk and win. Did you go up against any buzzsaws so far? Lot of times that happens everyweek.

Yahoo autodraft. When I saw the team I thought I was going to be a powerhouse....I'M IN THE CELLAR!

My luck finally turned... played the top team in the league this week (was concerned because I have TO and he's off) and outscored him 108-58 and I still have Drew Bennett going tonight. (He had McNabb on a bye.)
