What went right:
Half of my opponent's team was on BYE week and three other players were either out or on IR. Throw in some bad luck on the part of Matt Ryan and Jordan Cameron and there was no excuse for me to lose.
In regards to my team, Eddie Lacy had a great game running for 150 yards and a touchdown. Jimmy Graham had 116 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Chiefs defense is always great.
What went wrong:
See my rant on Andy Dalton from the Thursday night game. Kenny Stills was a bad waiver pick up with only 3 points. Then the bad benching decisions. First was benching Rob Gronkowski for Ryan Mathews because of the projections. Gronk was going against a good TE defense (supposedly) and Mathews was running against the worst run defense. The matchups were in my favor, but it didn't work out that way. Gronkowski destroyed the Steelers with 143 yards and a touchdown, good for 20 points. Mathews, however, ran for 34 yards. Remember me benching Andrew Luck? Yeah well he only threw for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns, good for 24 points. T.Y. Hilton has been a benchwarmer for me all season, he had a career game with 121 yards and caught all 3 of Luck's TD passes which led to 30 fantasy points.
Thoughts:
In a battle between two 1st place teams, it sure turned out to be one sided. Luck of the BYE week draw was in my favor, even though my bench almost scored as many points (83) as the team I started (96). All is well that ends well, The Marauders are now 7-2 and that's good for the best record in the league.
Stat of the week:
Had I started Luck, Hilton, and Gronkowski over Dalton, Stills, and Mathews I would have scored 158 points. That is ridiculous!
