No Doug Martin starting for the Waffles this week? Against his old team I was hoping it was going to be a DeMarco Murray scenario.

Just realised that I took Rueben Randle out of my line up this week (as he was so shark last week) and he scored 21.1 points last night.

Dougie just hasn't lived up to the position yet, but don't worry L.Bell is back.

I had him last year and had a similar issue with never picking the weeks he would work.  Was so frustrating to own.

Who is ready for Week 3 to start?

So many players out injured, not just the QBs: Geno Smith, Drew Brees, Tony Romo & Jay Cutler, but WRs: A.Jeffery, Dez Bryant and RBs: D.Murray

well that was even until about the end of the first quarter of the early kick-offs, where I fell behind and never looked like catching up. My 2 RBs scoring a combined total of 10 points, against both of Waffles scoring over 20 was the difference, although Julio Jones also had a game.

My goal for the season now is to try to get more than 2 wins. Lofty ambitions.

Seen Jones has been on fire, so at least you have that going for you. I wasn't even in it this week, starting to feel like it's ones trying to win it this year and three or four of us just trying to get a few wins.

problem is that Jones is in Waffles team, so I don't really have that going for me.

Tuesday Morning "State of Play"

Hammers vs Waffles 84.2-115.3

This was the battle of the 0-2 teams, one team would continue to lose, while the other would manage to struggle through to 1-2. The return of LeVeon Bell, alongside L.Murray & Julio Jones put this out of reach for the Hammers, The Hammers WRs did their job, but the RBs really let the team down, barring a 16 Fumble game from Richard Rodgers this is over

Tegal vs Fairies 120.2-89

Tegal's squad have not lived up to their 160pt first two weeks, as they are a bit behind today, though they still have Aaron Rodgers to go, so anything is possible. The Fairies would need Starks & James Jones to beat Rodgers by 30pts, which is not likely to happen, so this game is probably over as well.

Troopers vs Paul 104.4-93.4

If the Troopers hold on here they can lay it firmly at the feet of Mr Stever Smith, as he went wild in the Ravens game running rampant. This game though will come down to Randall Cobb, if he scores 11pts they will tie, but if he gets 11.1 its a win. I think this should happen, though the Chiefs Defense is pretty good. And Remember Alex Smith was the #1 overall pick the year Rodgers was drafted.

Whale vs Billikids 109.5-153

Well it looks like abother contending team has decided to go past 150pts this season as the Billikids have put this completely out of reach for the Whale. Cam Newton, Peterson, AJ.Green, and Keenan Allen combined for a massive haul. Now the game is not over as the Billikids aim to top score as they still have Charles & Kelce to go, while the Whale has Jeremy Maclin attempting to catch them up.

Rodriguez vs Usos 117.4-108.3

This game is over, consistency is what is getting Rodriguez home, they aren't the superstar scores, but they have scored well across the board, and the Usos getting 39pts from Devonta Freeman was just not enough as they got left behind. And they would need a binch of missed kicks from Crosby to get home.

Makes up for my paltry score in Payslaves (69).  Suspect I won't get anywhere close to it again.

Anything is possible. In Payslaves 2012 my team went nuts (Pretty much a bit of luck in draft, I took Peterson 3rd Rd & Charles 4th Rd both coming back from injuries, R.Cobb with Ret Yards in his Rookie year very late) => Started Rodgers/Forte/Peterson/Charles as my core...Dez (7th Rd) & Decker (8th Rd) added as WRs, and then R.Wilson (For Rookie slot)...a lot of luck in the draft picks as I had 3 WRs breakout (Dez's first 1000yd season, Decker's first with Peyton), 2 RBs returning from injury taken late as others had massive 2011 seasons, that team averaged nearly 200pts a week...

I think your team this current season should average around 150, and battle Tegal for the title...we'll see though could all come down to luck in the final weeks of the season.

I now question if i will actually win a game this season. My WR situation is slightly better but RB is a huge issue.

My first pick QB is out for about 4 weeks and Gronk has a bye this week.

I'm a bit stuffed!

Do I play Agholor this week?

Also fair warning for everyone, there is a hurricane coming that may affect the Washington vs Philly game, if it is postponed it will be played in WEEK 8, that means that no players from that game would count this week...Just a warning if you can't be around to find out if game is going ahead...

On a side note, I have Pierre Garcon in both of my teams and Murray to decide what to do. Might leave them and hope game isn't called.

How does that work then? Double games/points in that week?

Would imagine that the teams would just take their bye this week and their normally scheduled bye would be wiped.  Not sure if that means more re-shuffling of the fixtures though.

Washington & Philadelpha both have Week 8 Byes, so in this case they'd just move the game to then. 

Normally game would just move to Mon/Tues, of course it doesn't matter if game does play, but if state of emergency called is highly likely game is moved to Week 8.

As another side note, the Dolphins vs Jets game is in London at 9:25am ET, so that's 2:25am here on Monday morning in case you have players in that game as well :P

I have a team with Morris & Murray, played Forsett today in that league as I'd rather have a score than a zer, but one of them has to be in my lineup I believe...

And I will be there.

Good to see Forsett get some points last night, after 3 weeks of garbage. I think it is going to be a close match with Swarlos this weekend - he is currently projecting about 10 points more than me, but that is expecting nearly 20 points from a Foster who hasn't played yet this season (and may still not suit up), and another 13 from CJ Anderson, who has been worse than Forsett so far this season. My big concern is Ivory -suited up last week, but didn't touch the ball, and the Jets have a bye next week. I am scared that they will just keep him wrapped in cotton wool. Actually, just realised that is exactly what happened when Calvin Johnson was in my team and came to London last year. I had the pleasure of just watching him stand on the sideline and watch the game (earning me no points).

I just need Megatron to not score -20 and I have my first win of the season.

Fun game at Wembley yesterday, although the Dolphins are a shambles. Was lovely to see Ivory get loads of work
