Actually, make that Michael Turner. ---

Ugh. This week: Drew Brees, Matt Forte, Mike Wallace. ---

It’s a perfect matchup day to use Romo, but the winds in Boston are supposed to be 18-25mph. Hmmmmmmmm… Eli Manning Michael Turner Hakeem Nicks Man does it suck to be back on the west coast and having to get up at 9am to go see games. Edit: Oh, also, I’m inclined to let Furt make 2 sets of picks next week, with the second pick filling in his week 7 score. But if anyone objects that’s enough to veto it. I’m just concerned that we’ve only got 6 people playing and I’d hate to have him feel like he’s too far behind and quit, so I figure for the good of the game we should let him do a one-off makeup. But I don’t want to get in the habit of doing that, so I don’t want to set a precedent either. ---

Tony Romo Ray Rice Roddy White I somehow wound up in Atlantic City all weekend, so my work here and in my fantasy leagues might lack my usual attention to detail. Making roster moves on your phone for 6 leagues is no fun. ---

You already picked White and Rice in week 2 and 3 respectively. You probably can’t see the spreadsheet on your phone so, you’ve used: QB Vicks, E Manning, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rodgers RB Charles, Turner, Rice, Blount WR LLoyd, White, A Johnson, Fitzgerald, C Johnson Go ahead and make new picks. If you’re a little late after kickoff you can still pick from the early games given the situation. ---

At the sports book in Vegas and realized I forgot to get these in. Damn, not a good week to be stuck with the night games, especially at QB. Jay Cutler Shonn Greene Matt Forte Question, I can use Forte twice so long as I use him in different positions right? ---

I think that’s technically not in the rules but I don’t really see a problem with it. Let’s do it this week and then discuss it next week as to whether or not to allow it in the future. Doubt it’ll come up often. ---

I’m changing my mind anyways. Gimme Harvin as my WR instead of Forte anyways. ---

[Spreadsheet up](http://www.senorbeef.net/sdmb/YardageComp2011.htm) but with problems. I warned Varlos that he’d already picked some of the players before, but he hadn’t logged in again on Sunday to see it. I was going to let Furt make up for his missing week two by picking twice last week, but then he missed last week too. ---
