On Injury Notices

In back to back weeks, I’ve experienced the fun of late scratches before the starting gun in the NFL.

Last week, it was Aaron Rodgers stuck on my bench, who everyone expected not to play during the week after a sprained shoulder, but who ultimately didn’t just start - he was the second leading fantasy QB.

This week, it was Roddy White, who was on a real tear, but didn’t practice all week after an in-practice injury, and who was as of an hour before the games started still reported as being the third WR in the game, if he would play at all.  His line for the day - at this point, tied for fourth best among WRs: 9 catches, 112 yards, and a TD.

I still won last week, and I’m in the mix for this week against the previously undefeated Red Barons. But dagnabbit, if you’re questionable in the Fantasy game, can’t you at least be polite enough to not have an awesome scoring day?

Update: I started Braylon Edwards instead. I’m happy.
