If it makes you feel any better, Dallas would have probably pulled him at halftime. The Giants win renders this game useless for Dallas.

Same here...lost my champs and I had the best record/team this year. Also had Laurent Robinson and Dan Baliey (kicker) so his injury pretty much deep sixed any chance i had.

QB is too important in fantasy football....I took Rodgers with the 4th overall pick in the first round. Paid off with a fantasy championship! RB's were deep this year.

I would never trust Romo in a fantasy league, he is about as inconsistent as they come.

He is not inconsistent as they come. He was top 6 in my league. You have Rodgers, Brees, and Brady as the top 3 and the next couple are about the same.

While Rodgers had a stellar year, I never take a QB in the 1st round. It's something I don't do. I've had much success in fantasy, just didn't come up in the championship this year.

Definitely sucks but

anyone can say this.
I lost my league because ______ went down.
forte, murray, fred jackson, matt schaub, APetc. etc. etc. etc.
It's fantasy football. Peopl elost playoffs or getting into playoffs cause of this kind of thing.
You could have easily lost more.

I've lost fred jackson, jamaal charles, murray, forte, schaub and then this past week 3 TE's daniels (don't count his 1 or 2 plays as he was highly questionable and done) ballard and fasano. And then some.
Still with all of that and then some I got 2nd. Not bad.

Other league I'm much healthier (at the moment) lost forte but had viable backups and I'm in the championship.
Either way it's all about picking the best option and after that it's luck.

I lost shaub, then leinart. had yates benched till he posted double digits one week, and watched him s the bed for me in the playoffs. Was 10-2 to start finished 11-5 in 3rd but who do you start between orton, ponder, and yates? There's always next year. gl

Depends....the only QBs worth a first round selection are Rodgers, Brees, and Brady. I have done well in the past with the same strategy. RBs were deep this year so I went with a QB that was in a heavy passing offense. I snagged Jennings with my 2nd pick. I feel like having the QB - WR combo in the same offense is huge so nobody in the league has a handcuff on me. We are in a PPR league so it makes a difference.

I'm guessing Romo's no stranger to "going down". Tha Boyz would be better off with Jake Gyllenhaal(is that how it's spelled?) or even zombie Heath Ledger at QB.

I understand your point but think you are missing the point.

He got hurt in game... during the playoffs.

Zero points from your highest point scoring position. Not going to win many weeks with that, let alone in the playoffs.

My leagues scoring is not normal but I lost by 53 points last week... His QB had 49; mine had zero.
