The Cardinal Sin of Fantasy Football

So there are a few things that as a fantasy football owner you must know or pay attention to going in. One of the biggest things is to keep an eye on your player's bye weeks. Most importantly, the QB, since you only get 1 in your lineup. Well in my family league, I failed to do this, having Tom Brady and Carson Palmer both on byes this week. As a result, I had to go with the best QB available. Well, I guess more importantly, the best matchup, as I had to settle for Mark Bulger. Yep Mark Bulger. Lol here are my matchups.

Family: Me(2-5) vs my cousin's friend Kevin(3-4)

Marc Bulger at DET- Despite his awful numbers, this is a good matchup and hopefully he can pull 20 points out of it.

Steve Smith at PHI- Has cooled off recently but has been tweeting about how focused he is lol so lets hope he bounces back.

Braylon Edwards vs MIA- Has struggled all year except for one game against the Dolphins where he went off. Hoping for deja vu all over again.

Mohamed Massaquoi at Chi- Had Calvin Johnson in this spot but he's inactive today. Going with a so so receiver on an awful offense against a bad defense. We'll see what happens.

Ronnie Brown at NYJ- Ricky killed his touches last week, but can't bench him ever.

LaDainian Tomlinson vs OAK- Getting healthier and more touches. Could have a big one here.

Zach Miller at SD- Had a big TD last week hoping he might get some catches in what should be a pass happy offense trying to come back.

Nick Folk vs SEA- Has seen the field alot recently and should see more this week.

New York vs MIA-Redeemed their poor performances with a killer game last week. Hopefully they can pick off rookie Henne a couple times.

Kevin(3-4)

Brett Favre at GB- Could have a huge game in his homecoming.

Austin Collie vs SF- Could get 2 points or 20 hope Manning looks elsewhere.

Nate Washington- Hasn't done much all year but will prob get a TD this week lol

Michael Crabtree at IND- Looked good last week and they will fall behind so could get his first TD.

Maurice Jones-Drew at TEN- A TD machine, will likely get 20 points here.

Darren Sproles vs OAK- If LT gets more playing time, its doubly good for me then.

Antonio Gates vs OAK- Hoping they jump out to an early lead and don't need him much.

Sebastian Janikowski at SD- Damn this San Diego Oakland game will likely decide the winner lol

San Diego vs OAK- Look above lol

In my ATVN league i had dominated in two straight weeks and this week I'm up against Steven Kim who is also 3-4. Would be great to get a win and get back to 500 as the league is full of 3-4 and 4-3 teams. Here is the matchup.

Me


Matt Schaub at BUF- Dude has been on fire and should be a good matchup for him. Hoping for some big numbers.

Nate Burleson at DAL- Could get lost in this game but the Seahawks will likely be behind most the game and should be passing alot.

Torry Holt at Ten-Had Mario Manningham but he's hurt. Going with Holt who should get 5 catches for 60 yards. Man I miss Ocho cinco already lol.

DeAngelo Williams at Ari They will fall behind early and pass alot, but he's too good to bench.

Thomas Jones vs Mia- Has been killing recently and should get some more good numbers this week.

Jason Witten vs Sea- Would it kill you to get in the endzone Jason?!?!?

Mason Crosby vs Min- Great kicker and should get alot of field time in a potential shootout.

New Orleans vs Atl- Great week last week and could make Ryan look like a rookie again.

Steve

Donovan McNabb vs NYG- Hoping the Giants can contain him but with no Westbrook they will pass alot.

Dwayne Bowe bye- Hopefully Steve doesn't notice he has a bye lol

Santana Moss bye- Look above

Roddy White at NO- He's been on fire in the past couple weeks, but the Saints defense is very solid.

Steven Jackson at Det- Bad matchup for me Jackson could go off here.

Knowshon Moreno at Bal- A very tough run D should make it a nightmare for this rookie.

Owen Daniels at Buf- I feel like I've played him in like 5 straight weeks lol. He's been sick and doesn't look to be slowing down against this bad Bills defense.

Nick Folk vs Sea- Overlaps again. Should get about 10 points here.

New York at Phi- Well if Mcnabb goes off at least it will hurt his defense lol.

As always you can follow my updates at my twitter @tayke2. Also tough loss for SC tonite and its rough because we have never been absolutely handled like that in a while. But congrats to Oregon they were by far the better team and will represent us well in the Rose Bowl. Thanks for reading guys.
