        I'd say that Freeman has gone from a bottom 10 QB to around #15 over the past few weeks. Still nowhere close to Drew Brees though.

            Just goes to show you what having a bonafied #1, a decent run game and being utilized in the right system gets you. Our other bumass coordinator tried to make him into a game manager, he will never be that. He is a big arm QB who will let it rip, you have to take the good with the bad. Has been far more good than bad these past 4 weeks, avg over 300 a game and has a 11-1 TD/Int ratio. They opened up the playbook and has went shotgun spread early in the games after our bye week and it has paid off. The pass has opened up the run just as much as the run has opened up the pass.

            All that said, he still killing it in fantasy and has outperformed Brees these past few weeks. Im tempted to start his ass this week but my opponent has Colston and Graham so I think Im gonna stay with Brees.

              Starting the Colt's defense turned out great! Got me 20 points.

                  I am the walking fucking wounded with my RB's. Jones-Drew and Mendenhall are hurt and Morris is on a bye this week. So, I am stuck trying to decide between this group of guys:

                  - Jonathan Dwyer; I would start, but, if the Steelers "Feed the hot-hand" then I don't want to waste a starting spot on him this week.

                  - Steven Jackson; Going against a tough 49ers D...and losing carries to Richardson...just don't see the value here

                  - Chris Ivory; Finally got some touches last week and looks to be the best RB of the bunch, but, it's hard to gauge which RB will be getting touches in the Saints O

                  - Shane Vereen; Same song and dance as above. Ridley is the man in NE, but, the other backs still get touches and in a potential blowout, I figure Vereen may get some additional carries.

                  Right now, my starting lineup (12-man league) is this:

                  QB:
                  Brees

                  WR:
                  Colston
                  Roddy White

                  RB:
                  Dwyer
                  Vereen

                  TE
                  Allen

                  Flex
                  Decker

                        Tough one. I'd go with Boldin as I expect this to be a high scoring game.

                        I hate having to pick between Titan receivers because I think all three are pretty equal. Washington seems to put up consistent numbers most weeks, so I'm rolling with him.

                        For the second pick, I'd go with Shonn Greene. It's still unclear who is going to get the majority of the touches in Oakland between Reece and Taiwan Jones. Greene is going up against a much tougher defense, but we know that Greene is going to get most of the carries. For that reason I'm picking Greene.

                        Man, that is an ugly RB situation. I think that you still have to roll with Steven Jackson with that bunch. He's the only guy in that group that is the true starter, even though it's more of a time share situation. Just gotta hope that Jackson is able to steal a TD because the yards probably won't be there. I would go with Dwyer with the second running back slot. I don't feel really good about it, but there is just too much uncertainty with Ivory and Vereen. There's no reason to expect that either of them will get more than 10 touches. Since Pittsburgh is going against the Chiefs, who may be one of the worst teams ever, Dwyer should get his touches.

                        Very tough. All three are projected to be top 10 receivers this week. My gut is telling me that Vincent Jackson is going to want to play with a chip on his shoulder this week playing against his old team, but I just can't start him over Calvin or Welker. Jackson is just too hit or miss, he could end up with 1 catch or 10. Whereas Welker and Calvin almost always get their catches.

                          I agree, go with Bowe. His QB is horrible, but he's still a top talent. Lloyd has been banged up lately and is only averaging three catches per game in the last five games.

                            I think Welker will get more looks since Hernandez is not expected to play.

                                Just gotta recap this beautiful fucking action:

                                Starter: Anquan Boldin - 7 points. 4 catches for 38 yards. The Ravens led the motherfucking league with 55 points this week.

                                BENCH PLAYERS

                                Darrius Heyward-Bey - 22 points. 5 catches for 82 yards and a TD.

                                Sidney Rice - 19 points. 2 catches for 54 yards and two TDs.

                                Titus Young - 13 points. 4 catches for 35 yards and a TD.

                                Go FUCK yourself, Anquan.

                                It's all good I suppose, I've already won and I still have two left to play. Still, it pisses me off.
