Week 4 and Another Loss

Another week, another loss. Well, this time I have no players for Monday night and my opponent has one left. Still, I only grabbed 58.5 points this week and he's already got well over 100. Another pretty poor showing by my team.

This week was hopefully my last bad week. Many of my starters were sitting on the bench this week as 4 of my regulars had a bye week. Technically, it should all even out, but I think I may have used some sub-par substitutes as replacements.

If this were fantasy baseball, I would have to say their WAR (Wins Above Replacement) was pretty bad. Not sure if Fantasy Football has an equivalent, but essentially the statistic is a measurement of how well a player performs above a 'replacement' level player. By replacement level, it means someone who is called up from the minors or from the bench to fill in for a regular starter. Very typically, they are not as good as an everyday starter.

Well, this week, my replacement players were not that good. My defense scored -10 points for me which was a pretty big difference from last week when my normal defense scored my only touchdown. Note to self…don't pick the Falcons defense ever. Stafford decided to play this week, but he could not carry me – if he had done as well last week, I might have been able to win. He seems to be hit or miss – perhaps I should only play him on even weeks.

In any case, I need to work on my team to get better for next week. I hope these loses don't become a habit that I can't break.
