This infuriates me. I was riding a 3 game winning streak, expecting to lose this week. My WR2 had a BYE, my RB1 and 2 best FLEX options either had a BYE or were injured. But through the 1:00 and 4:15 games, I have a shred of hope! I have a 38 point lead going into the night game, but my opponent has AP and Hester. I have the Vikings Defense. This is perfect right? As long as they can hold AP in check for 25 points or less, Hester will probably have 2 catches for minimal yards, and Jared Allen (leading the NFL in sacks) will have a field day on Cutler (most sacked QB in the NFL).
So what happens? Well, Chicago holds AP in check with 11 points. (Which was honestly the only thing in my mind that could keep my from winning 4 straight) But what's this? Devin Hester has a career game and puts up 27 Fantasy points??? Really? Then the Vikes allow 39 points and can only manage 1 sack and 1 fumble recovery? (Grand total of -1 fantasy points.) Overall I lose my matchup by 1 point! Uber-frustrating. I wish AP would have put up 35 points like I expected. That was torture!
