    Fantasy Football: Biggest mistakes you made this year...
    I just realized I had a REALLY good draft. I traded away Decker, Welker, and Trent Richardson in 3 separate trades for Greene, Andre Johnson, and Hakeem Nicks. If I kept those 3 my lineup would be sick with Rice/Richardson/Spiller and Decker/Welker/Washington....Regrets...

    Before the season started I said I was going to take high-risk/high-reward players. I now fully regret that decision. Drafted DMC and DeMarco Murray in the first two rounds. Neither performed well when they were healthy, and both are now injured and have no timetable when they will return.

    Definitely regret Maclin too.

        ive made over 20 trades this year, at the time they were good on paper but now not so much...just to name a few:

        last week, traded b marshall for ray rice (still like that trade) which cost me a win with the difference of their points (marshall 30, rice 15)

        early on i traded chris johnson for alf morris and benjarvus...which was a great trade at the time until i turned around and traded morris for d. bowe, that one still hurts

        traded andre brown for ben tate (doh)

        passed on trading cedric benson for ryan mathews, then two days later benson goes down for the year

        traded benjarvus and mike wallace for donald brown and steven jackson early in the year (of course donald brown a day later gets knee surgery, and then the rams decide to timeshare sjax)

        traded luck and dwyer for cj2k (again) and cutler, which actually didnt work out too bad until...
        traded romo/cj2k/turner for tom brady and shonn greene (last week, but both were on bye which in hindsight was dumb...but i did this trade on friday after san diego D got me 25 points and i was looking good for the win...this was the same time i traded marshall for rice)


        so many trades that seemed good at the time just blew up in my face. reason why im 3-6 this year, but i do have a sliver of hope because the best team is 5-3 in my league and there are a whole lot of 4 and 5 win teams...thank god for parity this year...if i win out my final 4 games convincingly i may have a shot...and this is the lineup i have going forward

        tom brady
        miles austin/d bowe/stevie johnson (start 3wr)
        ray rice/shonn greene (start 2rb)
        tony gonzalez
        demarco murray? (1 flex...got him off waivers but he has yet to play..)
        instead of murray in the flex, it looks like emmanuel sanders or titus young right now...
        justin tucker K
        san diego D

        sorry for the long story haha but this season has been a frustrating one (11th place)

          No trades to regret, but I do regret taking Eli before people like Matt Ryan and Peyton. He now rides the pine.

              steve smith/stevie j (2wr)

                  Did the same two years ago, I was fortunate enough to get quite high rewards! Not this year though...

                    Sitting Witten vs the giants for gates in Cleveland a few weeks back.

                    I'd be 4-5 with an outside shot @ the 6th playoff spot.

                    Now I sit @ 3-6 playing spoiler.
                    Megatron, Maclin, Charles, all let downs this year.

                      I regret drafting jermichael Finley early. Luckily, chris johnson has a vibe these days, or else i would have hated myself.

                        Traded Leshoure before his 3 touchdown game after starting him 4 straight weeks without an TD. Replacement only scored 9 points. I would have won my matchup this week had I kept him.

                        However I've done a lot of things right. Bought Gronk low; Right before he started going off. Also, traded Fred Jackson and Jordy Nelson the week before he got hurt for Trent Richardson. Received Big Ben for Lance Moore early in the season.

                            I may not make the playoffs because of some bad mistakes and bad match ups...

                            I'm 4-5 with this lineup...

                            QB Ryan
                            RB Trent Rich
                            RB Foster
                            WR Cruz
                            WR Reggie Wayne
                            TE Owen Daniels
                            Flex Doug Martin

                                I have the second most points for...and I'm also up there in points against. I sat Ryan week 1 which would have won me the week. Also lost week 3 I think because I started Romo over Ryan. I also lost to the number 1 team in the league because I started Leshoure over Rich when he had the TD against Chargers. I could still win out or go 5-1 the rest of the way and still sneak into the playoffs. If I make the playoffs, I prob win the league.

                                  I haven't made any trades, but I had Hartline on my bench when he caught over 250 yards and Doug Martin on my bench when he played the Vikings. Did however have him this past weekend.

                                  two of my 4 losses are squarely on my starting Romo, one was a 2 point loss the other a 9 point loss. Sucks because he was my keeper from the previous year, dropped him after the Chicago game.
