Clearly I’m a jinx, anyone want to use my powers this week? I almost have to pick Megatron this week don’t I?

</div>

Used:  
Andrew Luck  
Doug Martin  
Reggie Wayne

Week 2:  
Josh Freeman 125  
DeAngelo Williams 85  
Vincent Jackson 77  
Total **224.5** (adjusted)

Week 3:  
Matt Schaub 194  
Marshawn Lynch 69  
Calvin Johnson 115  
Total: **281** (adjusted)

I don’t think I’ll be defending my title or even achieving my usual last-minute pipping at the post.

Week 4:  
Tony Romo  
Darren McFadden  
Dez Bryant

ETA: I thought dale’s “start all the Eagles” strategy was nuts but I think it’s produced the highest score of the season.

Stafford - 385/2= **193**  
Lynch - **69** (3 for 3 on my RB not finishing the game, though this time at least he didn’t get hurt)  
Johnson - **115**

193+69+115= **377**

Alright alright, get your scores in by Wednesdayish and I’ll get the spreadsheet going.
