I'm rolling the dice also- not playing Forte and put in Ware in the RB position.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Matt Forte (knee) will be the "starter in name only" the rest of the season.
Advice: Rapoport said the plan is to have a "two-headed monster" with Forte and impressive rookie Jeremy Langford, who Rapoport said is viewed as the "not just the future but the present" because of his explosiveness. This was always a concern considering how well Langford played and that Forte is a free agent following the season, but it is not as if Forte will disappear from the offense entirely. The veteran should get enough work to remain in the RB2 conversation the rest of the way.

wow- Stafford is racking up the points for Fuzzy's bench

Hyma's Heros benefited from 25 points from Julio Jones and 17 from Darren McFadden, taking down Austin Bandits 110 to 97. "You play to win the game. Hello! You play to win the game." Someone please tell this to Austin Bandits, who is currently winless. Russell Wilson led Austin Bandits with 34 points while Terrance Williams brought in 17. When assigning blame following this loss, Austin Bandits can look in the mirror. They started a player with zero points (Marshawn Lynch). Hyma's Heros (6-5, 1,370 points) remains in fifth place and Austin Bandits (0-11, 1,076 points) stays mired in the cellar.
7 teams didn't even break 100 points this week- wow
La who?
TCK- sucking wind here now. New low
Teck Resources Limited (TCK) -NYSE
4.14 Down 0.21(4.71%)
Thanks for kicking EZ butt this week. Looks like Cap is going down also- so I should keep my 5th place spot, maybe even 4th if the skunk doesn't out score me tonight
Tyson Foods plans to close two aging prepared-food plants, affecting 880 jobs, in the face of prohibitive renovation costs and changing demand. The closures come as Tyson (NYSE:TSN) continues to remake itself after its 2014 acquisition of Hillshire Brands. The company expects to cease operations at a pepperoni plant in Wisconsin and a prepared foods facility in Illinois during the second half of the year ending Oct. 1.
Clinton & Sanders don't like it- they want the tax money
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton and Bernie Sanders are bashing plans by Pfizer and Allergen to join together in a $160 billion deal that will create the world's largest drugmaker.
The merger is a so-called inversion, in which U.S. companies looking to lower their tax bills combine with a company in a country with a lower tax rate. That merger potentially saves the U.S. company millions in U.S. taxes.
Clinton says that will leave "U.S. taxpayers holding the bag" and plans to propose steps to prevent inversions.
Sanders says the merger would be a "disaster" for U.S. consumers paying high prescription drug costs. He says the Obama administration should exercise its authority to stop the merger.
Several U.S. drugmakers have performed inversions in recent years.

Other than Chunga- pathetic numbers across the board for the league
Man, almost everyone is under achieving today
This just pooped up for the Bandits team. Maybe my saving grace:
Marshawn Lynch (abdomen) is inactive for Week 11 against the 49ers.
Advice: Lynch was listed questionable, but coach Pete Carroll said he was more on the probable side than doubtful. Owners need to get Lynch out of the lineup immediately after he was looking like a top-end RB1 in a plum matchup. Thomas Rawls and Fred Jackson will handle backfield duties. Also inactive for the Seahawks are WR Paul Richardson, CB Tye Smith, SLB Bruce Irvin, C Drew Nowak, G/C Kristjan Sokoli, and DT A.J. Francis. Richardson is still coming back from a torn ACL
Chunga's Revenge is showing some huge numbers today- I get the honor of kicking his butt next week
Bandits just pulled ahead for a predicted win- 113 vs 112
Bandits are back in the running after that catch and TD by Williams (DAL)
Panthers are having a good game- Cam has 4 TD passes for Chunga
Dimarco is the goal king for Atlanta today
hmm, 1st quarter and not one play:
Jacob Tamme will go up against a defense that’s allowed 181 yards and two scores to tight ends in their past two games.
Indianapolis has given up the 9th most fantasy points to Tight Ends this season.
This will be a dozer around here. We have several ViQueen Fans also in the area
3. Packers (6-3) at Vikings (7-2)
4:25 p.m. Line: Even
The Packers have won four consecutive N.F.C. North titles, as much because of their own talent as the lack of quality competition in the division. But as Green Bay has encountered a rough patch, losing three games in a row, the Vikings have been chugging along and last week pulled ahead of the Packers in the standings with their fifth consecutive win.
If the Packers had a hard time scoring against the porous Detroit defense, they may not have a prayer against Linval Joseph and the Vikings. Minnesota has allowed an N.F.C.-low 17.1 points a game thanks to a crushing interior defense led by Joseph that takes away the run while also harassing opposing quarterbacks.
Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is listed as questionable, but he is expected to play. Even if he does, Minnesota seems like the better team.
Pick: Vikings
He was supposed to be my sleeper play
I'll go for the whiskey instead
I might lose to the Bandits this week- My running back scored 3 point before taken out:
Dexter McCluster will miss 2-to-3 weeks with a sprained right MCL.
Advice: It's the same injury teammate Kendall Wright suffered a few weeks ago. With McCluster facing a multi-game absence, Antonio Andrews will absorb more carries while rookie David Cobb should see a handful of touches as a change-of-pace option. Bishop Sankey, a healthy scratch the past few weeks, might also get some run.
Now, McFadden is questionable
According to the Dallas Morning News, Darren McFadden's (questionable, groin) carries "could be reduced" in Week 11 at Miami.
Advice: The Morning News is clearly speculating, basing this suggestion on a combination of McFadden's tender groin and "wet conditions" in the forecast for Sunday's game at Sun Life Stadium. Cowboys beat writer Jon Machota confirms Robert Turbin is likely to be McFadden's top backup, with Rod Smith third in line.
I'm seeing some of the 20ish people feeling the pressure to sign up. They are realizing the fines might hurt more than not having insurance. They are pissed about the cumbersome process
We got a trace only
Interesting, I didn't think they would bring back the divvy this quickly.

HOUSTON, Nov. 18, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sysco Corporation (SYY) today announced that the Board of Directors has approved a 3.3 percent increase in the quarterly cash dividend to $0.31 per share from the current $0.30 per share.

I see that- your entire bench is off, lol
Week 11 looks pretty rough on a few teams
U - G - L - Y. Hyma's Heros has no alibi, as they sputtered out of the gate and fell to Dead Skunk 111 to 85. Each team fell short of hitting their projections, but Dead Skunk managed to score 86.1% of a projected 128.96 points for the win. Following a 122 to 120 win against BNBs Cellar Dwellers, Hyma's Heros saw their scoring drop off this week. This game tape won't be broken down at upcoming coaching clinics, as both sides missed scoring opportunities. Dead Skunk had two starters turn in zero points and Hyma's Heros had one. Dead Skunk (5-5, 1,256 points) remains in sixth place and Hyma's Heros (5-5, 1,260 points) stays in fifth place.
I play the Bandits next week- hope they stay asleep at the wheel
it looks prime to make a reversal.
I stand corrected
The number of oil wells in North Dakota that have been drilled but not fracked surpassed 1,000 for the first time in September, as producers wait for prices to recover before turning them on. As a result, more than 8% of oil wells in North Dakota are now sitting idle, harming the industry's ability to grow production; daily output in the state fell 2% in September to about 1.16M bbl/day. The backlog is "sending a definite signal to the market that oil and gas operators are not willing to do a lot of drilling or hydraulic fracturing or production at these low prices," said Lynn Helms, director of the state's Department of Mineral Resources.

Seeing some serious headwinds ahead, Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT) is warning that it doesn't expect Chinese demand for excavators to return to the highs hit several years ago. "That shows how far off the peak we are," Caterpillar's Tom Pellette told the FT. "For China specifically, our expectation is that the market will rebound but we are not planning [for it to] get back to 2011/2012 levels." The remarks are significant as the group is often dubbed a global bellwether, with its sales giving investors insights into the state of economies worldwide.
I don't think my FFB could do much worse this week.
Scoring wise- it was a good game. Execution on both teams sucked
Big Ben scored 36 points for my bench He wasn't supposed to play, but Landry got hurt
