Week 10

Brett Favre
Ray Rice
Wes Welker

Waiting until, I’m sure, 5 minutes before kickoff Sunday. Putting off making the other picks in the spread and confidence league as well, just out of principle.

Sorry guys, my bad on this one. I’ve been trying to get the update out earlier and I thought I did this week, but I guess I never got around to it.

Updated now.

Week 9 scores:

  1. Varlos 587
  2. Lieu 487
  3. Wilson 483
  4. Omni 470
  5. RNATB 443
  6. SenorBeef 423
  7. notfrommensa 400

And here I was, self graded and thought 423 was a reasonably good score, and I’m … well… not in last!

The scores for individual yardage types.

I got 2nd in one category!!!

I have a 1st.
I have a 4th.
I have a 7th.

I am nothing but (in)consistent.

I guess I need to get my picks in. Maybe I’ll use the dartboard for my running backs and receivers.

The spreadsheet is right but in the post #204 ranking I just wanted to point out that Varloz should be ahead of me in the Passing list with 8 yards more. I’m in 3rd place, he’s in 2nd.

Also, I’m really struggling with one of my picks this week due to an injury. May come back a little before kick-off if that’s alright to change but it’ll definately be “before.” Trying to get a reliable report can be difficult.

Crap! I’m only up by ~250 yards on the season. I thought I’d already run away with the contest.

Ugh, totally spaced on this and the picks leagues. I blame the Jets. I was so unenthusiastic about the Jags/Jets game, the only 1:00 game we get here in New York, that I’d basically decided my football Sunday starts at 4:00 this week.

The Jets have been screwing me for decades, by the way. Year after year of mediocre football, denying me not only more interesting AFC games every week, but also, frequently, *NFC *games (when the Jets are at home and the other network has the double-header, like today).

[del]QB: Kurt Warner, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Tony Romo, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Donovan McNabb, Peyton Manning
RB: LaDanian Tomlinson, Adrian Peterson, Ryan Grant, Brandon Jacobs, Jerome Harrison, Maurice Jones-Drew, DeAngelo Williams, Stephen Jackson, Michael Turner
WR: Larry Fitzgerald, Randy Moss, Santonio Holmes, Chad Ochocinco, Brandon Marshall, Steve Smith 1.0, Steve Smith 2.0, Miles Austin, Andre Johnson[/del]

Ok, all 4PM or later starts:

Philip Rivers
Ray Rice
Vincent Jackson
If Phi-SD isn’t a bit of a shootout, I could have problems.

Wait, wait, I want to change my WR. Philly’s pass defense is too good for me to double up on a QB-WR combo against them. My actual picks are:

Philip Rivers
Ray Rice
Donald Driver
Ok, now watch V-Jack go 8/180/2.

223 + 77 + 45 = bah! Er, I mean 345

I finally had a good week.

Tom Brady = 375
Chris Johnson = 132
Randy Moss = 179

Total = 686
Actually, not only was that finally a good week for me, but now that I look at it, it’s the best week that anyone has had. Only one other score even topped 600.

Figures that the week you finally explode is the week where you don’t pick any of my fantasy players.

Week 10

Passing - Tony Romo - Dal - 251 yds
Rushing - Ronnie Brown - Mia - 102 yds
Receiving - Hines Ward - Pit - 24 yds

377 yds…blecch

Did V-Jack even catch a pass, in the end?

Why wouldn’t he use his hands?
Mensa, take some comfort in your awesome total last week. SenorBeef, nice, very nice.

Sorry, make that a couple of weeks ago, the 544. Checking I see it was Varloz with the stunning 587. Really’s 638 and SB’s 686? Jeez…
