Have you noticed how close our league is? At this point, everyone still has a fighting chance at making the playoffs. That being said...don't screw it up...play your studs. A few of you tried to lose it for yourselves last week and about did (e.g. Stafford over Cutler, Thomas over Gonzo....you get the point, don't get cute).
Last week was the week of injuries: Arian Foster, Doug Martin, Nick Foles (haha yes), and many others are hurting (Calvin Johnson, Blackmon, Roddy White, McFadden, DeMarco Murray). But you know what? Brady still doesn't have any pity for you so get over it and work the waivers and get back in the game.
Some high scoring surprises from players last week:
- Andrew Luck (outdueled Manning but still wasn't enough to get Jake the win over Mike)
- Unowned Roy Helu (took 3 tds away from Alfred Morris but it didn't matter as Jared still beat me)
- Harry Douglas (filling in nicely for the hurt Roddy and Julio, good pickup Spike)
Mike vs. Jake: Eric Decker to the rescue! After complaining about not getting looks in week 1 (2 catches), he has had at least five catches in every game and is rolling. That being said, why the heck did you bench Thomas? You played old man Gonzo over him? Thomas is a TD machine and no LBs have been able to match up with him yet this year. 8 TDs in 7 weeks....c'mon man. You could have lost it for yourself.
Jake, sorry dude, it sucks being so close. Especially when Trent Richardson doesn't show up.

Taylor vs. Brady: We all witnessed something miraculous over the weekend and we may not even know it. A fantasy team got a win even with two of their starts posting negative points! Do you think that has ever happened before?! But seriously Tay...Cutler over Stafford? C'mon man. You are really fortunate Arian Foster went down after a couple carries or else you wouldn't have stood a chance. Don't shoot yourself in the foot brah.
Spike: 73, 61, 33, 51, 66, 56. Do you know what those numbers represent? That's right...the abysmal numbers your team puts up. You are averaging 56 points per game...yuck. But, what happened this week? KAPOWWWW - 90 points! Thank you Harry Douglas. This just proves that working the waiver wires really can improve your team and get you wins. Oh, and it doesn't hurt that Mike Glennon only has one receiver on his team (V Jax is the most targeted WR in the league). Find some RBs though brahhh.
Ty: Good win for you. You suddenly have a winning record and are looking like a serious contender for the playoffs at this point. Keep it up.
Week 4 Forecasts
- Two match-ups this week that I am watching and think will provide plenty of entertainment:
- Dane/Nick (Will Dane keep slipping?)
- Ty/Mike (Looks to be a high scoring and close affair)
- Boring Match-up of the Week Prediction:
- Spike and Brady - Unless Spike can find a golden RB in two days somehow...I think this is going to get ugly quickly.
