I was really close to picking Rejus Benn too and I went and picked the wrong one. How did New Orleans win so big with a mediocre game from Brees, I mistakenly figured the Rams would give them some competition and force Brees to air it out. ---

[Updated.](http://members.cox.net/senorbeef/YardageComp2010.htm) Well, no one went anywhere this week. I can’t believe Baltimore put up 34 yet Flacco/Boldin, against the worst pass defense in the league, only managed to get 235/41 out of it. Week 14: 1. RNATB 282 2. Varlos 278 3. SenorBeef 267 4. Omni 249 Which makes the total official/adjusted scores: 1. SenorBeef 4076 2. Varlos 4024 3. RNATB 3933 4. Omni 3721 ---

Might change these up still. Matt Ryan Darren McFadden Roddy White ---

[Updated](http://members.cox.net/senorbeef/YardageComp2010.htm) Week 15: 1. RNATB 397 2. Varlos 276 3. SenorBeef 271 Omni didn’t submit picks. This is way too close. Overall scores: 1. SenorBeef 4347 2. RNATB 4330 3. Varlos 4300 4. Omni 3830 I’ve been choking on QB the last few weeks. Made some pretty reasonable picks I thought… Matt Ryan against a top 5 worst pass D, Flacco against the worst pass D, Cassel against a bad D… only one barely topped 200. ---

I had Orton and Lloyd saved up for this week against the Houston pass defense. Woops. I could still take Lloyd, but I don’t want to get Tebowed. Rex Grossman (!) Rashard Jennings Vincent Jackson (I know the weather sucks but so does Cinci) ---

Turns out I should’ve stayed with my original plan, and just started Tebow/Lloyd instead of Orton/Lloyd. ---
