Good to see Dave Thomas catching a touchdown this weekend. He was always my favorite fast food founder, with the Colonel being a close second.
Thanks Shaun Alexander, your performance was a spit in the face to all fantasy owners you had a major hand in already eliminating.
Ron Dayne literally took $1,000 out of my pocket this weekend. Has there ever been a bigger stiff deciding so many fantasy championships? I’d argue no.
Carson Palmer is clearly not quite 100 percent, but count on him being so next year. If I had one player to start a franchise with, he’d be my first choice.
Chris Weinke refused to lose his 18th straight game this week, willing his team to victory. Talk about putting a team on your shoulders.
To say I was wrong about the Ravens would be an understatement. I’ve come around on them of late, even considering their defense better than Chicago’s (thanks in part to injuries), but still had trouble taking McNair and Lewis seriously. After taking a desperate Steelers’ team to the wood shed in Pittsburgh, Baltimore is officially a force to be reckoned with.
If you turned on the Giants game 2 minutes and 30 seconds into it, you saw Eli Manning pass for 19 yards Sunday. 3.0 YPA? It’s beyond time to be concerned about him.
Maybe all of this losing will somehow help the Colts come playoff time, as they clearly won’t be entering the postseason as favorites.
Don’t sleep on the Patriots. Winning at Jacksonville is about as impressive of a victory as you can have this year.
Deion Branch left his hands in New England. The guy simply can’t catch the football these days.
The best thing that could happen to the Jaguars is a slow-healing Fred Taylor.
That Giants –3 spread against the Saints was more than suspicious. I called the upset in the game caps, but was too scared to bet too much cash on such an obvious trap. I still don’t get Vegas’ thinking there. One team is really good, the other is pretty bad, and the line suggests they are equals?
Speaking of game caps, I am 7-0 so far this week against the spread – not to toot my own horn or anything.
Check out Tim Rattay’s career stats – he’s always been surprisingly competent.
I’m now prepared to rank Vince Young as a top 5-8 fantasy QB next year.
For all of Washington’s terrible contracts, the recent re-signing of Ladell Betts qualifies as a steal. He’s a top-15 back in the league still being paid like a backup.
Despite some shaky hands, Vernon Davis looks like he’s going to be special. He’s someone to target next year.
I’ve been criticized for my Jay Cutler stance, but I’m ready to gloat right now. Shanahan made the right call. It doesn’t get any luckier than that botched snap, however.
