Let me tell you guys about my luck. I selected Julius Thomas (TE Denver) on 3 of my fantasy teams (I have 4). He is on a BYE this week, and I only draft 1 TE. So I go to the waiver wire, and 2 guys came to the top of the list, both playing last night: Niles Paul, Washington and Larry Donnel, NYG. The write up and momentum on Paul seemed heavier, and I'm not a fan of Eli - so I went with Niles.
I then forget about the game for a few hours, but flip it on at the 2 minute warning of the 1st half - to see how the TE battle is shaking out.. The very next play, Niles Paul gets sent to the hospital! I feel a bit pleased that at least the play counted (after review), and had not yet known Donnel's stats.
I check them out this morning - Donnel has 3 friggin TDs!
And that is my life in a nutshell.
