Good point. At least I didn’t pick Ladell Betts. ---

Week 11 Passing - Aaron Rodgers - GB Rushing - Steven Jackson - STL Receiving - Randy Moss - NE 344 + 116 + 34 = 494 I can pick QB’s who will have good games. Other than that, I pretty much suck. ---

I’m 89 on Sidney Rice and 119 on Scott. Decent week if Schaub can put up 300+. ---

> [@VarlosZ](#): > > I wonder how secure **RNATB** ’s and **lieu** ’s margin over the field is. Heh, against you guys? For me at least “secure” is not the word I’d choose. Here comes my drop week right now. Ricky Williams has his best week ever. Kurt Warner gets over 200 in the first half. Things are looking good, eh? Doh, with Warner’s DNF Andre Johnson’s effort tonite will be a complete waste. Bummer. ---

Not as bad as what me and the other slaton picker had to go through in week 10. 1 yard! Against the worst rush defense in the league! ---

Don’t forgets, three Thursday games this week: Packers vs Lions, and Raiders vs Cowboys, Giants vs Broncos on Thanksgiving. I am sure everyone wants to jump on the Romo bandwagon, and Stafford too!! **RNATB** …I told you Eli was doing all right, and you got extra bonus yards for going into OT. The darn thing, Eli was on my short list this week and I didn’t pick him because you picked him. And I need to gain yards on you. I did all right with Rodgers though. ---

Eli was actually my first pick this week, until I double checked the spreadsheet and saw that I already used him. Forgot about that. Hopefully Schaubb does me proud… ---
