Jules has missed hte last 2 weeks, but if he’s interested in continuing we could work out some sort of dual pick for the rest of the season type thing, if no one cares. The more the merrier etc etc.

How in the fuck did Jamal Charles only run for 10 against Oakland? And Luck hasn’t thrown for less than 200 yards this year has he?

261/2 + 212 + 81 = 423.5

127/2 + 10 + 18 = 91.5\*

I actually forgot that Andy Dalton played on Thursday, but I don’t see any reason I should get to repick, since my lack of knowledge had no undue effect and clearly didn’t benefit me, so we’ll just leave it.

Anyone ever have a score as low as 91.5 for the week?
