I dropped
Cedric Benson and Antwan Odom
If you're wondering both guys scored over 15 in my fantasy league. Odom had 5 sacks FIVE!!! And Benson ran for over 150
FML!

I haven't made any dumb moves and I'm 2-0. Actually, I did start Gates over Carlson last week but that wasn't really a dumb move and I still won...

Then why are you in this thread mi amigo?
I'm 1-0 with a strong shot at 2-0. But go brag elsewhere this thread is about the dumb moves you've made! :)

Why the hell woudl you drop Benson? You must be in a shallow league haha. Dude gets atleast 20 carriies a game and has no one threatening his job!
Me and fcb1012 started Morgan which was a mistake in hindsight. All we needed was 5 points from the bastard. We had Laurent Robinson on the bench, but no way we could have known he was going to out produce Morgan this week. Next week Morgan is going to grab some bench thats for damn sure.

My RBs are Michael Turner, Steve Slaton, Fred Jackson, and Larry Johnson (should have dropped him instead). I was grabbing some WR depth since Welker was out.

Nothing this year, but MJD's rookie year I dropped him before he went off. I had Colston that year too and dropped him too.

OUCH! I dropped Brees the year before last...
he had a week 4 bye. But first 3 games he went for 1 TD and 7 INTs

Right now im really regretting not starting Breaston over Jenkins this week as my #3 WR. Breaston was questionable but played and the 5 extra points would have been absolutely huge right now (maybe...it all depends on what Wayne does tonight I suppose)

I actually managed to win in both leagues. Luckily, Edwards put up around 17-20 points while Schaub put up 28-33.
ESPN League - 128.8 - 99
Yahoo PPR - 164.10 - 98.25
Thank god for Frank Gore
Edit: Drafting Slaton and Moreno and starting them both the first two leagues in the ESPN league

let's see here...in week 1, I started Schaub and rested Hasselbeck in 2 leagues and McNabb in a 3rd.
In week 2, I started Hasselbeck in both leagues and rested Schaub
This past week, I started, on one team, Wes Welker, Greg Jennings, and Mark Bradley
:(

I should be alright this week. I did have Breaston on the bench and started Roy Williams (what a joke)

I enjoyably forgot to remove James Davis from my starting lineup this week... Oh, that and a little something something about dropping DeSean Jackson and starting Faulk in my Flex spot ahead of him...
What else, oh yeah, in another league, thinking I was being a genius I picked up Antwaan Randel El off waivers and dropped Julian Edelman who I had as an upside/sleeper guy, but thought Welker was over his injury. That worked out pretty well too. 1/3 of the points, bonus.
Luckily I had Chris Johnson cover my ass with 45 points. Although to be fair, I do think that in the league we're talking about, my opponent only scored 64 points total, so CJ and Colston actually combined for more points than him, so I needed no-one else! :D

Okay I think I might have the winning MISTAKE of the season. I'm in 3 leagues and in one I have McNabb. I dropped McNabb as soon as I heard he fractured his ribs. NO I didn't research or do anything a veteran FFB player would do. So as soon as I heard it I was like "Aw ****! there goes my QB!" Then I raced to make the waiver wire and dropped him.
I'm totally bummed and highly regret ever doing so.

well, starting brandon marshall 2 weeks in a row now, im not sure what to do with this guy, I have steve smith(nyg) on the bench, I would have been 2-0 starting him, instead im 0-2.

I dont think anyone has screwed up more than me. I dropped dallas clark for jason witten...... not too bad but still hurts. dropped Felix Jones who just got 28 points. also dropped cadillac williams for i cant remember who. I drafted Brandon Marshall and Derrick Mason and have started them for the first 2 weeks, havent done sh*t. I just benched them both.

Dang man that is rough.
Just stop hitting the 'drop' button. Actually you should write yahoo or Espn and ask them to just hide that button from your team page :D
