Same with the Buff/Miami matchup - I obviously would've rather the Dolphins' D also. That Rivers clunker really helps tho, he was pretty awful last night. I'll be rooting for Addai as well tonight. The T. Bell situation is just crazy. He probably ruined numerous fantasy teams this week, and to see Mike excel just made it so much worse. No, not Campbell, I went Cutler over Kitna and Leinart this week....How about old Tim Rattay?! He picked apart that Chicago D! Tough break w/ Dayne.

(save those who were shrewd enough to start Faulk) And how does a WR in this day and age average 4 YPC on six catches!? You know, at the start of the week, my plan was to use Dayne at the flex, but as Sunday drew closer, I felt worse and worse about it. Who wants to go in to their big playoff matchup with Ron freakin' Dayne? The fact that the other guy had Betts as his flex made me feel even worse. Watching Griffith vulture some scores was annoying too, but I never really considered him. As bad a game as Arlen Harris had, he still beat Reche by 2 points. I also had the Miami D, while the opponent had the Buffalo D...and I was 100% sure that matchup favored me significantly. Ouch. By the way, kudos for picking up Tenn...that's a ridiculous call that paid off and then some! So, I was pretty depressed about my matchup heading into the Sunday night game, as I only had a 15 point lead with just Addai left, and he had his kicker, QB, and Rudi to go. Luckily for me, his QB happened to be Rivers, who laid an even bigger egg, so now I have a chance if Addai can have a good game and if Indy can play better run D than last week. It's crazy how many fantasy championships tonight's game is going to determine. I'll give you props on the Cutler call...that TD to Walker was pretty darned impressive. I'm glad I got eliminated in my other league, or I would have been cursing T.Bell (and thanks for too little, too late Mr. Vick!). I for some reason initially thought you were talking about Campbell, but I still don't think I would have been comfortable starting Cutler. Now Tim Rattay? You got yourself a deal!

Seriously, don't kick yourself for Dayne. It's Ron Dayne! I lucked out with my Tenn D pickup (3 TDs!) and actually got my Denver and Cutler call right.

What a stinker from Bulger...I think I'm going to be ill. I think I'll just need Addai to duplicate his 4 TD game and I'll be alright.

Harris may struggle to even reach my modest projection, and Caldwell has some nice upside this week. I'd start him over Harris with confidence and not even think twice regardless of the outcome (easier said than done). (At least the Griffith decision looks moot now too, right?) I had Gore going in a league as well, and those last five minutes were nice. There's going to be a good debate b/w he and S-Jax for the #3 pick next year. And how about Alex Smith? His best game as a pro, hands down. And he looked awful in the beginning too. Deion Branch is beyond disappointing at this point. I won't be recommending him again. At least I got the DJ Hackett over Nate Burleson debate right, and it looks like Hackett is even his #1 choice right now. The Cardinals have been playing much better of late and have played well at home this year, but I'd be surprised if Denver loses its 5th straight. Yes, go Reche.

He should...right? I mean, is Brady going to dump off to Faulk 10+ times? I think the MNF game is going to be deciding a lot of fantasy football seasons. I've got Addai vs. Rudi and Graham...I think I'm going to need a pretty good lead going into that game. Gore showed some impressive toughnes (though I almost lost my voice yelling at the TV, trying to urge him to score on his 40 yard run when he slid down at the 20...I need those extra 8 points!), but Branch really disappointed...I think he's gotta lose the neon gloves, as they apparently turn his hands to stone. DJ Hackett...really? Of course, I'm about to count on Reche Caldwell for my playoff fate, so I guess that's how things go these days. I think the Cardinals might eek out a win, otherwise, agree with the picks. So, is Reche going to beat Arlen Harris’ 70 total yards? He should…right?
