VARLOS! You should be in 13th place. You put up the 16th lowest score this week but you got lucky enough to ride the half a team train at just the right time for a free win. ---

Well we were facing the auto-draft team, so we played vanilla strategies, sat our starters at halftime, etc. We were never in any real danger. Next week is the important game, against the division leader. My guys will be fired up for that. ---

Trading Johnathan Stewart for a decent tight end. ---

Lots of top teams got beat this week. If the Tennessee defense can put up a few points, it looks like I’ll rightfully take my #1 rank in the league. Edit: I guess Torain could actually give me those points still. ---

Actually if Josh Scobee scores 10, Garcon’s Cedillia will become #1. But it’s gonna be me eventually. ---

Willing to move Ryan Torain or Johnathan Stewart for a TE. ---

A few trades pending. Evil Monkey gives up Eli Manning and Jermaine Greshman. No Use For A Name II gives up Kevin Walter and Donald Brown. CMFD gives up Mike Thomas. Exploding Pancakes gives up the Tennessee defense. Evil Monkey gives up Vernon Davis and Earl Bennett. Exploding Pancakes gives up Ryan Torain and Nate Burleson. I’m actually probably taking the worst of it slightly in both trades in pure value, but it benefits my team composition. I needed TE and landed what might be top 3 for the rest of the year… hopefully. I like Miami’s schedule for the rest of the year more than Tennessee’s although they’ve scored me a lot of points so far. I’m high on Mike Thomas being the #1 in Jax. Burleson to Earl Bennett is a pretty significant downgrade, but Mike Thomas will be taking that spot anyway. It looks like Portis may be out for the rest of the year, so Torain was a lot to give up, but I’ve got Charles and Best as solid RB starters and I can figure out who to start in the flex between Johnathan Stewart/James Jones/Scheffler. ---

What the fuck is it with teams putting up their shittiest week ever against Court Jesters, yet because he’s only fielding half a team, they manage to get their win anyway? Seriously is this the third or fourth time that happened? Teams will have the 19th worst score and be so lucky to happen to be playing the 20th scoring team that week. No Use For A Name is the beneficiary this week. Varlos is 10 points behind with Camarillo, Boss, and Cowboys D to play vs Timbers’ Kuhn and Crosby. Varlos didn’t start a kicker this week - what’s up with that? Are you still not set up with your computer? Frosted Lightning can win if Shiancoe can outscore Witten by 12 points. Evil Monkey needs 16 points out of Manningham and Barber. Garcon’s Cedillia needs Moss and Quarless to outscore Roy Williams and the Vikings D by 6 points. ---

Well, i’m probably going to lose again this week, unless Aaron Rodgers and Steve Smith both break their legs. But i’m not too unhappy with my week. I finally managed to pick the right defense, and the Redskins helped me out by making some huge plays against the crappy Bears offense, including 4 INTs against Cutler, 4 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, and a TD. 29 points! Most surprising was my QB. Schaub and Houston had the Bye this week, and so i managed to grab Jason Campbell in the hope of at least avoiding a zero in the QB column. But not only did Oakland stomp all over the Broncos (i love seeing Denver get beaten, although it’s not as rewarding now that Shanahan has gone), Campbell managed a respectable 200 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs or fumbles. The rest of the lineup was pretty bad, and i suffered from a lack of WR with Floyd out for San Diego, but Joe Nedney grabbed a few points with his kicking. Cedric Benson managed 70 yards, but couldn’t get into the endzone even though the Bengals scored 32 points. Fuck! My RB situation is dire. Anyway, that’s how it goes. **SenorBeef** : No Use For A Name does have Ahmad Bradshaw and Adrian Peterson still to play, so it’s unlikely he’ll remain under 50 points. Still, i take your point. ---

Probably, as far as I can tell. I’m actually without cable at the moment, so if someone finds out differently before kickoff maybe you could post it here and I might have time to grab the whoever the Giants WILL start. ---
