Fantasy Football 2009, Week 3

Some weeks, you just run up against somebody having a good day. Some weeks, you just have a bad week. And some weeks, you get away with one. When you have three teams, that's bound to happen all at once a couple of times.

*Ward absolutely killed me this week. I thought he would have had a good week against his former team, but he ran for a grand total of 2 yards. Had I put either Moreno or Hester in that flex spot instead of Ward, this would be a whole different story.

Well, there you have it. My least successful week in fantasy football this season, 1-2. That's all right though, now is when the managing starts to get a little more challenging, with the Bye weeks starting.
