> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > Week 7: > > Jay Cutler > Jamaal Charles > Roddy White So I was catching up on the spreadsheet. Week 7 had KC and Atlanta on a bye, so make 2 RB and WR picks this week. Edit: Actually, did you not make week 8 picks or did I miss it? ---

Sorry for the delay. [Spreadsheet is up to date.](http://www.senorbeef.net/sdmb/YardageComp2012.htm) Please double check that everything is correct. Also police yourself as far as using any player twice - I may miss it. If everything is correct, I very quietly snuck back into second place after being 7th after week 5. I didn’t have any spectacular weeks, just consistently pretty good. 3 130+ yard receivers in a row helps. ---
