ETA: If I manage to win, you should all be ashamed.
I considered using my supernatural powers of failure to beat RNATB in the auction fantasy football league. If I picked his starters as my yardage pool players, surely he would be doomed. But that seems unsporting.

Peyton Manning (shootout with Houston, in the dome – could be epic).
Michael Turner
Andre Johnson
In contrast to Omni, I’m making these picks with a killer hangover. Should be interesting to see which of us are better/worse.

Vincent Jackson - 58
lieu’s Week 9 total: 487
I consistently struggle with the WR. Probably spent 2 hours looking at match-ups and stats and trying to make a decent pick and still embrace the paltry.
Oooh. Forgot about that. Guess I’ll go early:

You don’t actually have to get your picks in until kickoff of the relevant game, so you only need to pick players now if you’re picking someone involved in the SF/CHI game.
I’ve every confidence there will be a week when someone forgets until Monday to post selections, makes them off the MNF game alone and gets the week’s high score.
