Talk about not planning your bye weeks

Russ Smith · October 22nd, 2007, 11:39 AM

I have 6 players who have a bye next week. Our league has a very thin bench so I had to cut my kicker, D player and DB to pick up guys to field a full team.

To my surprise I was able to get Bironas(who will probably not score a point now), Umenyiora(sp) and Sean Taylor all off waivers.

I am pretty screwed this week.

I have Alexander and James on a bye this week, and then Ronnie Brown looks to be out for the year.

I have a bunch on my team that have bye weeks.

I picked up Bironas as well, since Rackers is on a bye.

My team is so beat up and I have so many guys on a bye that I actually had to cut Rackers to make room for a WR.

It's amazing that I am doing as well as I am.

The bye weeks, coupled with injuries, seem BRUTAL this year.

I only have Boldin on bye this week in my money league, and I have Braylon Edwards back in the lineup after his bye this week.

Couple that with the fact that my opponent has Boye, Crayton, Alexander on byes, as well as Ronnie Brown on the IR. I am going to win this week without a problem.

My RBs are both done with their byes. I have a rough WR bye week coming up.

Other than that, I'm doing ok with the bye. I'm getting handed to with injuries though.

I don't mind having all of my studs with the same bye week. Chalk that week up as a loss, but you're not spreading yourself thin the rest of the weeks.

I dont mind it either, especially if the guy I am playing against has the same philosophy.

I actually really lucked out, Brees picked the perfect week to have his first good game, he basically won for me single handedly. I am having one of those years I'm 4-4 with the 3rd most points in the league. The guy with the best record, 7-1, has scored 22 points LESS than me.

I like how our league is run though the thin bench forces you to make more moves which I really like.

ugh i'm so pissed I needed to win last night to stay in the playoff race really but I lost because travis henry didn't play only needed two points lost 93-95 crappy

THe injuries just keep coming now it looks like Larry Johnson could be out so boy am I glad I picked up LenDale White a few weeks ago. Although to be honest I wish VInce Young weren't starting because White is a better fantasy player WITHOUT Young stealing TD's in the redzone.
