Throughout the game, Hicks had no catches and it looked like his injury might be affecting him. Addai was running well, but didn't get a touchdown. And Garcon didn't do anything.
But with 5 minutes to go, I saw that Addai was on the bench, with the Colts up 31. I was up 117.5 to 115.5. I was ready to start thinking about if I should bench Hartley. I had this wrapped up.
And then after the two-minute warning, stupid Hakeem Nicks gets a touchdown worth 9.5 fantasy points. I went to bed thinking that I was down 117.5 to 125, with a kicker to go.
And then I wake up, and all of a sudden Harlan has 129. I believe they added 4 pts to his defense.
So now I need 12 from a kicker.

We've seen this situation before, a week 2 divisional matchup which you would expect to have serious playoff implications. If I go to 0-2, it could be nigh impossible to get back in things against 2 opponents that are 2-0.
So now I need Hartley to kick 3 field goals and some extra points.
after the day games, i was thinking, sitting jerome harrison for garcon was the right play. then i woke up and saw the score of the colts-giants game and still thought so. then i checked the fantasy points. oops.
