Obviously I am very happy with the Bengals 28-20 win over the Steelers on Sunday afternoon. On the other hand, I am not so happy about the performance of one of my fantasy teams. I finished this week winning in one league and losing in the other. In the league I had a victory I had the highest point total in the league. Yes, it was nice having Houshmandzadeh back on the field, both for the Bengals and for my fantasy teams (I have him on my roster in both leagues), but there were other players with injuries that really frustrate me.

The frustration was with the league that gave me the loss. I checked and set my lineups on both Saturday and early on Sunday. I sat Todd Heap because it was reported that he injured his ankle on Saturday while stretching at home and was questionable for the game. Not only did Heap play, he had his best game of the season! Instead of getting big points from him I suffered with less than a point from my backup.

Laveranues Coles was also questionable according to the official injury report. Instead of getting decent points from Coles, I played Justin McCareins who didn’t play at all in this week’s game. I guess this is what I get for checking my lineups so often. I would have been in much better shape (winning both games) if I would have left my lineups the way I had them on Friday.

I am 3-0 in one league and 1-2 in the other. Combined that would be 4-2. Not bad, but I need to make some lineup changes.
