> [@SenorBeef](#): > > Would it be nuts to go with Randy Moss? He’s gonna be playing with a chip on his shoulder and they’re gonna force the ball to him all night. Favre has played horribly so far and now has tendinitis in his throwing elbow. What good is forcing him the ball if it’s being “forced” ten yards downfield? ---

If you can, start doing the self-grading thing and start thinking about new picks on Wednesdayish. That way I’ll get the spreadsheet updated and you won’t have to cram in picks at the last minute. ---

[Spreadsheet](http://members.cox.net/senorbeef/YardageComp2010.htm) is updated. I removed the unadjusted weekly totals because the display was too cluttered. If you want to figure them out, the original QB yardage is listed right there - the weekly total is QB yardage / 2 + rb yardage + wr yardage. It looks like we may be down to 4 players. But… we’re probably the best 4 players on the SDMB for this competition, so it should still be interesting. Week 5 scores: 1. RNATB 322 2. Omni 290 3. VarlosZ 255 4. SenorBeef 255 ---

Oh, and since Varlos is a filthy, filthy human being who picked Rivers twice - I’m going to have to make the second Rivers game a 0. That’s what we decided on last year when we were making the rules. Don’t forget that there will be a dropped week though at the end of the year, so one bad output doesn’t cripple you.
