Think about what would have happened to TO's numbers if he wasn't kicked off the team. They would have plummeted, because he would have gone from having a top-3 QB feeding him the ball to having a backup throwing prayers out to him.

A QB and his #1 WR's fates are linked in Fantasy Football.

Running backs and quarterbacks/WRs from the same team are usually OK though. I'd be happy to take Tomlinson and Gates anytime.

[Kidlicious]

I think having McNabb and TO on the same team is risky, but having starters on the same team can be OK if you have the right starters. I was screwed anyway when Bulger got injured. It didn't really matter that I had Holt on my team too. And if Holt would have been injured, and Bulger not injured I had Curtis. Curtis' numbers would have improved, because the Rams are deep at reciever.

[Zopperoni]

I have the brilliant trio of Carr, Davis and Johnson in another league.

Whoopie

They were good value last weekend though.

Yeesh. Who gets to smack me around next week? Losing both Owens and McNabb kind of hurt.

IIRC before the league had even started TO was acting like a total tosser and McNabb's injury was already apparent - drafting either of them was a risk, drafting both a liability...

I'm still pissed I had Carson Palmer stolen from under my nose - then I would have had Palmer, AND both the Johnsons...

[Stuie]

Oh come on. McNabb was done in by a cheap shot by Atlanta in week one, and TO has always been a princess.

[MOBIUS]

Hey Sloww, bet you're pissed that you've got Chris Chambers on the bench...

Hope you still beat Berzerker though!

[Zopperoni]

Brad Johnson, Rudi Johnson, Larry Johnson, all good for two TDs each

[Jaguar]

Losman good for three touchdowns for me.

League II

Dwarf Tossers 110.54
Berzerkers 119.74

Vegas Skull Munchers 88.63

Kreigsgewitter wins the week with 155.99 and forgot to fill 1 WR slot.

And I snuck by both Slow and the 1st and 2nd place teams to recapture 1st place

With Chitown facing the last place skull munchers, and the Dragons facing the 11th place Hobgoblins, it aint looking good for Kreigs to make the top bracket. But a loss by Chitown or Cardiff combined with a win for Kreigs will get him in. Short of that it'll take a win with a load of points to surpass Chitown - a 43.21 differential.

Sorry Slow, but I doubt you would get in at 8-6 anyway.

It looks like Slow will fill out the consolation bracket with a win. The Deviations could still get in with a win and losses by the Tossers and Emus if he can match Slow's point total for the last week. The Emus face 2nd place Lincoln but if he and Slow win, he will need almost 50 pts more than Ramsey to edge him out.

Good luck all, play offs in 2 weeks. Still alot riding on this last week, mostly in the race for the consolation bracket.

[Berzerker]

[Jaguar]

Not really, if any one of those teams lose and you score higher than they do, you're in.

[Zopperoni]

The only serious matchup is Kyllers vs Rowdies. The Knockers play the Rednecks and it's Edge vs Love, which are walkover matchups.

I need Sneak to lose to Jonny, and I need to score 17 points more than Sneak --> miracle

[Jaguar]

Oh.

It's funny that Jonny's 4th to last in points but he's easily on top of the league.


I obnoxiously took Reis out of playoff contention, but it serves him right for often taking people I wanted in the draft.

[Berzerker]

Yup, thats an amazing display of luck.

1st place with 10-3 and... 8th in points! Man, that'll make some of them whiskers gray.

League 1's 1st place team barely outscored our 10th place team.

You guys suck
