I started Myers at TE, buying into the "Denver gives up the most points to TE's in the league", and thinking he would be a better replacement while missing Gronk than Pettigrew.
AND I thought about starting Moreno, because Hey, it's the raiders, and they suck. But, I didn't buy into Denver using him much, since he hasn't really done much the past two weeks.
The Results? A TE that finally dropped a Goose Egg on me, and a 21 point RB sitting on my bench. I do this every year in the playoffs. Start trying to out think myself, and I screw myself. Good job.
I had the same problem with Myers, only got two targets all night. Couldn't tell if it was on him or Palmer just not looking to him. Tight ends have been killing me in general the last month. Vernon has been stagnant and now Myers drops a goose egg when I need him.

FU Victor Cruz and Doug Martin. Five points combined? Seriously?
FU also to the entire Giants offense for your pathetic showing. Not only did you turn the ball over 3 times, you got shutout which gave my opponent big shutout points for playing Atlanta's D. How many shutouts have there been in the entire NFL this year? Two?
lol Cruz and Wayne both started for me, thankfully its PPR so I got 8.9 combined from my 'studs'...Amendola racks up 20+ and I was advised to keep him on the bench because he was 'nothing special'. I also benched cincy D in favor of seattle, and started bryce brown at flex though he accomplished nothing. All in all a team disaster, only good news here was Rodgers finally turning it around and Moreno getting 100+ yards for the second week in a row.
*EDIT* Hernandez pulled through, the impossible has happened and I'm moving on to week 16!!! I bet my opponent would like to add a #@$!% you for Ridley though

Danario Alexander, Cruz, and Stafford all tried to derail me today. Luckily the rest of my team played some lights out ball and kept me afloat. F#@! those three, they better come around next week.

I get that fantasy is just that, fantasy. However, I am still in shock I lost this week.
I started Aaron Rodgers Jamaal Charles CJ Spiller (with Murray and Moreno benched) Randall Cobb Victor Cruz Reggie Wayne (with James Jones benched) Aaron Hernandez
he started Russell Wilson (he was a RGIII owner) Alfred Morris Beanie Wells Brandon Marshall Dez Bryant Brandon LLoyd Dennis Pitta
I mean seriously, could I have had anything else working against me? I was undefeated, he snuck into the play offs. Argh
I was projected 50 points higher than my opponent heading into Week 15 with the best match-ups ever. I came in 1st in the regular season with a 10-3 performance & coming off a 5-game winning streak.
I though, did not count on 3 of my starters to virtually not suit up for the game: Josh Freeman (projected 30pts) - 1 point against New Orleans?! Jamaal Charles (projected 22pts) - 2 points against Oakland?! Denario Alexander (projected 16pts) - NOTHING so... thats 68 projected points to 3 actual points - Giggity!
A poor performance would be 50% of projected or even more, not less than 5%! We need to send out a search party for these 3, because I do no think they showed up to play ball. Oh & Roddy White too (projected 18pts) - 1 point! I benched him, lucky me!
Bad week for playoffs in my league, #1 seed lost, #3 is getting blown out (60 pts but Johnson is playing still), and had Tom Brady not gone off in the second half last night #4 would be out, and so would I (#2). In most of these games the high seed was projected a win of 15-20 points, but it seems they all had at least 3 duds...mine being Bryce brown wayne and cruz, another guy had boldin (0), charles and martin (5 pts or less) and Alexander. Not a great way to start playoffs
In ESPN Standard Scoring, I managed 38. Yes. Thirty Eight Points. I was an RGIII Owner. Who did I call upon? Freeman. He torched New Orleans the last time they played.
1 point.
Jamaal Charles? Going up against the WORST RUN D IN THE @)#(&*(*&@#%^ LEAGUE? 2 points. Stevan Ridley? Double Digits more often than not? ZERO POINTS Victor Cruz? 1 point. WTF happened to the Giants? D. Thomas? Manning looked Decker's way all day. 1 point. Oh right... I was a Gronk owner too. Dallas Clark? 4 points. The Brightspot of my week: LAW FIRM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 16 points. D/St.... I thought it was a homerun. I thought the Cardinals were terrible. I thought they were awful. I thought they were the worst offense of the last 15years. 3 points. Yes. What a call. Thank you Lions D. You kill me. Kicker. Well, at Least ATL kept Bryant busy. 10 points.
After week 1 we were tied. 100 all. I lost. BIG. 206-138. What a terrible week.
I guess I can take pride in knowing my wife, in her first seasons of Fantasy, is at least still #battling for #progress, just like #shurmur, and in the top Consolation Final Game. (If you have a twitter, you should follow @fakepatshurmur. Dude is hilarious)
So. With Gronk down, and RGIII down, and my top players taking a steaming dump this week, I lost. I can't even say that I lost this year because I second guessed myself. i lost to injuries, and players not making the plays. I guess that's better than saying "IF ONLY I HAD PLAYED THAT GUY!" like so many years gone by.
