> [@Wilson](#): > > This week: Matt Stafford, Ray Rice, Wes Welker 408 / 2 = 204 + 204 + 110 = **518**. I’ll take it. I picked the top passer and the top rusher, and Welker was the first time I’ve gotten a receiver over 100 yards. I think this puts me solidly in second, within shouting distance of **SenorBeef**. But I’ve used all the top QBs already, gotta hope I hit some lucky picks there. I do have several good RBs left. EDIT: OK, solidly in second is a stretch - I was looking at raw totals. I think I’ll be a bit ahead of **RNATB**. ---

I can’t even remember the last time somebody scored an adjusted 400, so nice job 🙂 ---

Looks like the only other 400’s were both in week 1 - **SenorBeef** ’s 548 monster with Brady/McFadden/Marshall, and **Omni** ’s 406 with Rivers/McFadden/Megatron. ---

Christian Ponder Chris Johnson Percy Harvin Pondering a last minute change to Tebow. ---

Way to find yet another way to fuck me Chris Johnson. And Percy Harvin. Averaging like 90 yards a game over the last month, gets to play against one of the worst pass defenses in the league… and… 8 yards so far. ---

Foster is finally getting it going, but with the Texans down big he’s going to end up with a zillion worthless receiving yards. ---

Somehow I forgot that I picked Christian Fucking Ponder and he has 18 yards. 18 FUCKING YARDS AGAINST ONE OF THE WORST PASS Ds IN THE GAME Holy shit this week is astoundingly bad. I’m going to blow what was a huge lead in this league. FFS. I’m going to set a record for the most futile week by far.
