Fantasy Football Week 8 Suggestions Sometimes the fantasy football gods just don’t want you to be happy. Anybody who’s played for a while has at some point felt their wrath, but if proof ever was needed that sometimes you’re destined to lose, consider this torturous series of events I endured last week: – Rudi Johnson gets stopped near the goal line, and on the next play the Bengals pass to somebody else for a score. – Willie Parker gets stopped near the goal line, and on the next play the Steelers pass to somebody else for a score. – Jake Delhomme…
