Another week has passed, and you, the Internet, have spoken again. In our latest fantasy football poll, you decided that our team should bench Steve Slaton in favor of Matt Forte. Slaton has been benched, and Forte has moved into the starting lineup for our Landshark Maniacs matchup against the Hawaiian Surfriders. You can follow that match live here.
Our latest poll deals with something that has haunted fantasy football pretty much since its creation. Last year I played in an online league where one team was ... and there's no pleasant way to put this ... abandoned. How do we know it was abandoned? By looking at the starting quarterback for all 17 weeks of last year's NFL season: Tom Brady. (You might remember he had a problem with his knee in the season opener that year.)
I remember being frustrated about the fact that whoever was playing this team (which I will not identify here) was getting what was essentially a head start, if not an outright gift of a win, because it seemed as if one fantasy player had suffered a setback and decided that the team was a lost cause.
Nothing happened to that player as far as I can tell. Was that right? This poll is your chance to answer. Please vote now, and enjoy the Sunday games. The lineup poll results can be seen below.

The problem is, defining the term "abandoned." A couple of weeks ago I played someone who chose to leave one of her positions vacant as opposed to messing up her bench for a one-game-filler. She beat me. Like a drum. Yeah.
