And, because I’m an idiot, I’ve already picked a player twice this year: Roddy White, Weeks 2 & 6. Better give me a 0 at WR for last week… ---

I try not to be punishing with these sorts of things, so I’m cool with either letting it slide or letting you do a double pick this week and putting the second score in week 6. Anyone else have an opinion? Though if you did have to take a 0, at least with dropping a week it isn’t crippling. ---

We’ve done the double score thing before (though usually it was when people forgot to pick anyone at all) and nobody seemed to have a problem with it. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > [del]Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub > Kevin Smith, Adrian Peterson, Michael Bush, Marshawn Lynch, Arian Foster, Ryan Mathews > Andre Johnson, Steve Smith I, Marques Colston, Roddy White, Julio Jones, Percy Harvin[/del] > > Week 7: > Josh Freeman > Darren McFadden > Vincent Jackson Switching RB to Chris Johnson. ---

I’ll go ahead and let Varlos pick 2 WRs this week and plug the second one into his week 6 score. I’ll give any of you the same credit for a single fuckup. We just don’t want to make a habit of it. Also I’m a week behind on the spreadsheet, sorry. I’ll get it current this week. You can see who you used up through week 5, and then just see your last post in the thread to see who you took in week 6 in case you forgot. If he doesn’t see this message in time, he can make it up next week. Week 7: Eli Manning Arian Foster Victor Cruz ---

Ha, Varlos, you had already made picks in post #160. That’s fine that you repickde - the ones you made in #175 are now your current picks unless you say otherwise - I just sent you the reminder because I was giving you the option to double pick WRs to make up for last week. ---
