Yeah your team is fine, either the scoring system kinda sucks or just facing guys at a bad time.
BTW, said it in the past but I'm in this money league, $75 per entry. 8 teams make the playoffs, I sit at 9th, a game out. Here was my team before:
QB - Stafford WR - Cruz WR - Welker WR - T. Wright RB - Miller RB - Stacy TE - Bennett
Bench: M. Jones, CJ Spiller, Jake Locker, Andre Ellington
I've got 5 weeks to make a run, made two trades today:
Traded Stafford and Ellington (picked up off waivers) for Leveon Bell and Gronk. Traded Lamar Miller, Marvin Jones and Jake Locker (literally picked the last two up off waivers 4 days ago) for Demayrius Thomas and D'Angelo Williams.
So now my team looks like this:
QB - Rothlisberger WR - Thomas WR - Cruz WR - Welker RB - Bell RB - Stacy TE - Gronk (since he's in a bye, have to choose between Bennett and Wright)
Took the QB hit but got a top 5 TE, top 10 WR, and arguably a top 10-12 running back in return, basically in exchange for Stafford since the rest of the guys I got off waivers.

I dropped Heath Miller and picked up Marvin Jones and put him in my starting WR/RB slot since I didn't really have much confidence in my other options

Picked up Rashad Jennings off waivers and I will be getting Jason Witten from a trade. I'm stocking up for December.

Rodgers is out for while so I have to rely on Kaepernick to maintain my 1st place status in the nL league.
Might pick up a temp backup next week.

Reports are emerging that Foster will be played on IR next week. I'll be screwed in 2 leagues in a related note.

So I got too confident I suppose; I BENCHED Demaryius Thomas in favor of Victor Cruz cause I assumed I'd have an easy win this week and Cruz was playing Oakland so I assumed I'd get some easy points.
BOY WAS I F***ING WRONG. Now I'm barely winning.

Down fourteen points in a league after the Rivers and Allen got me less than 18 points combined (meanwhile, Foles and Russel Wilson are on my bench. Much rage). Now depending on Tim Wright and Mike James to run over Miami tomorrow, while he has Jimmy Graham playing tonight.
I need a miracle folks.

So because I stupidly sat Thomas and my opponent sat Megatron, our game this week (which has me leading by about 5 points at the moment), comes down to which Tampa Bay player gets more points tomorrow; I have Wright and he has Jackson.
I'm feeling confident about my chances, even if I barely squeak out a win.

I'm kicking myself for starting Kaepernick over Cutler in my keeper league. I've got Vincent Jackson left. My opponent has Chris Clemons. I'm down by 4.6 points. It should be a given that I'll win but with the dud Jackson put up last week I'm a little worried.

I had been projected to win big. Now Friskey is beating my team upside the head with a cast iron frying pan.

I'm stunned. Absolutely stunned. I love my team but here I am standing at 3-7 in a keeper league I won last season. Every team in 5th to 10th is at 5-5. Playoffs start in week 14 so mathmatically I can make it to 8th but I'm doubting it. Kapernick has been a massive disappointement this season along with Steven Jackson, Tony Gonzalez and Anquan Boldin.

This coming week is looking iffy though because I have DeMarco Murray on a bye and I'm against both Andrew Luck (who's most likely in "F*** you!" mode after Sunday) and Marshawn Lynch. Eck.

I lost last night thanks to James getting hurt. I only needed 9 fantasy points. I have 6 teams scattered between yahoo, nfl.com, fox, and ESPN. My RB selection has been cursed in most of them, James, Foster, Rice, Doug Martin, David Wilson. The one I lost last night because of the James injury had nobody left to pick up until the big game Andre Brown had, so I picked him up, and hope nobody gets to him before I do. My other RB is Jacquizz Rogers and Alfred Morris who isn't exactly tearing it up this season. My record is 3 and 7.

I'm not sure who to start between Kaepernick and Tannehill in a few leagues. This just speaks to how much Kapernick has fallen. Who should I go with?

That's what I'm leaning towards. I just have no confidence in either of them.
In a few leagues I have a log jam at RB: Fred Jackson, Eddie Lacy, Ben Tate and S Jackson. In a different league it's the same group except of Tate I have Rashad Jennings.
Lacy is a must start but I'm not sure who start in the other slot.

I wouldn't start Fred Jackson. Bills top two WRs are out and the Jets are good against the run.
