I had a chance today… to move into 2nd place. The guy I gave Carson Palmer to finally got good play out of a QB (45 points for Palmer), but is still going to lose his game (agains the 2nd place guy). Oh well. Despite my best efforts, I won my game. I left about 35 points on the bench today. I switched QBs at the last minute and put Brady instead of Rivers in. Brady got 27 points, Rivers got 40. I also picked up Mike Furrey and started him ahead of Muhammed. Furrey got a whopping 2 points to Muhammed’s 22 and counting. Still, the guy I’m playing against has Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison and nobody else. So, it will end up being a comfortable enough win.
Next week I play the guy in 4th place. He’s got Drew Brees and Steve Smith, but the rest of his team is up in the air. He’s got McGahee, who is obviously not playing too soon (or maybe the rest of the year). He’s got Addai, who is going to be up and down all year. He’s got Chad Johnson, who up until this week had been doing nothing. Oh yeah, he had Johnson on the bench today. Whoops.
Here’s how my team did today:
