Call me the Hit Man

This week marks the third consecutive week that my team has lost a player to injury.  Three weeks ago, I Reggie Wayne left my roster with a gaping hole after blowing out his knee.  Brandon Gibson of Miami was brought in to plug up that hole, only to blow out his knee around half time.  I scrambled to find another decent receiver... I figured I'd give the "semi-solid" Jeremy Kerley a chance to help me out... Well, this week Kerley left the Jets' game prior to halftime with what appears to be a fractured elbow...

What did I do to have to endure this injury spree?

Just call me the hit man.  Any receiver you want off the field... I'll take care of 'em.  All it takes is an opportunity to start on my roster.  One game and I guarantee he'll be done for the rest of the year.

I can't believe that three weeks in a row I have had three players go down with potentially season-ending injuries.  I'm nervous to start any wide receiver that I want to keep on my team for any length of time.  At this point there are barely any wide receivers available that are worth a pick up.  I'm going to hope that this plague doesn't stretch to my #1 receiver Jordy Nelson.  If it does... well let's just hope it doesn't because he's the only guy left on my fantasy roster that has been dependable every week.

Injuries have ravaged my roster all year (part of the reason that I'm in last place).  I'm barely holding on to a chance to make the playoffs.  Thank God that this league is so close (first place is 5-3 and last place is 3-5).

 I'm going to try to fill my WR void with Aaron Dobson from the New England Patriots.  I would like to take the chance right now to apologize to everyone involved in the Patriots' organization for whatever is about to happen to Dobson due to my recent acquisition.  (Can he stay healthy?)
