    I hate ESPN Fantasy

    Foles according to ESPN as of yesterday had Foles projected for 0 fantasy points, so I of course started Romo. Now I'm up 70-34 with no real danger of losing but this guy has 20 points in the first half to Romo's 19 for the entire game. Come on world wide leader in sports.

    Their predictions are horrendous. They should give you the ability to turn them off because even if you don't try to pay attention to them it can still cause mind games

    are you saying ESPN should have know that Foles was going to put up 40 points? or that even if ESPN has Foles as the starter you would have started him over Romo? Both those statements are nuts.

    Research your players.

    But I doubt anyone would start Foles over Romo. Foles was only started for a BYE week fill-in. Maybe different going forward now.

    I used Foles in week 6 to replace Ryan on his BYE, he lit up the Buccs. Then he had a horrible game the next week and got hurt. So don't fall in love with Foles.

    It is rough at times, but sometimes they are spot on. Foles was projected at 14 points by Sunday in my league? I see a majority starting Romo over Foles too. Who would have guessed he is throwing 7TDs?

    Don't blame ESPN for you not knowing the status of your players. And if you were gonna start Foles of Romo you're crazy.

    ESPN leagues are pretty bad overall, the pts system is pretty bland and i think yahoo offers a better accurate fantasy experience.

    It didn't matter, no way anyone in his right mind would have started Foles over Romo anyway before Sunday.

    I'm saying you should read my post first before responding and making yourself look like a total fukktard who can't read. I'm assuming that's too much though.

    You might be the only one to do that.
