The bad thing is I have Eli Manning, if I would have started him I would have won. I also have Tiki, I was forced to draft him #4 overall, I hate that freakin guy. Anbody else out there gettin burned in fantasy like this, or have division opponents like T.O., or Tiki on their team that you are forced to root for on sundays.

I have the same problem. My best running back is Tiki Barber. I sat him last year when he torched the Redskins. I've learned the hard way to separate my feelings from putting together a good lineup. The hard rule is, "Always play your best players, forget the matchups or your personal bias." The same rule applies in drafting. Draft the best player available, don't get hung up that he plays for the Cowboys, Giants or Eagles.
You might be upset that Tiki ran all over the Skins, but at least you won your fantasy matchup that week.
