I originally had Nicks benchwarming, but I just finished reading an NFL.com article about how Nicks is sure to bust out of his slump this week. Now I'm second-guessing myself.

Could be my biased, but I think Smith is facing the tougher matchup against Tillman/Harris then the other two. However he has killed Lovies cover two in the past.

Johnson seems like a no doubter to me and Nicks just seems more consistant to me and has higher potential for a big week.

Thanks, ya I probably could've just left that as Smith or Nicks, pretty hard to put Johnson on the bench these days. I agree with Nicks seemingly being the better option, I guess I'm still feeling the sting of leaving Smith on the bench the first 2 weeks when he went off for 50,000 yards. But I think he'll be riding the pine this weekend.

And it looks like Arian is getting more touches according to Kubiak's comments yesterday, so my decision just got easier.

Thanks.

Haha man, I can't believe I benched Steve Smith again, and he's doing it to me again! How many times will it take until I learn my lesson? Steve, you are now officially a starter for me the rest of the season, no questions asked.

As long as Nicks has a decent day it won't sting too bad.

I sat Foster in favor of James Starks. He better have a big game today.

Haha I started Foster in the C league last minute but apparently didn't hit submit, didnt even realize it till 20min ago. At least DeAngelo's asking doing something today.

#### you Josh Brown. 1 pt in 2 weeks. any suggestions for a new kicker?

transplant99 · 10-02-2011, 01:36 PM

i benched Bowe....he has 20 pts thus far....im an idiot.

Sainters7 · 10-02-2011, 04:43 PM

Actually speaking of Steve Smith, whatever happened to the other Steve Smith, in Philly? The one who made the Panthers Smith the "other" Steve Smith the past 2 seasons. He was great for me in '09. Is he still recovering from that knee injury, or can he just not get in the starting line-up?

What the hell was he even thinking signing there anyway? "Nah, instead of being a #1 in NYG with a decent QB feeding me the rock, I'll just go be a #3 guy with a division rival, and get 2 catches for 17 yards a game". Good decision, you big dummy.

He wasn't going to be number 1 with the Giants with Nicks and Manningham there and the Giants weren't going to offer him a contract until his knee situation cleared so he took the sure money.

I think it's safe to say I finally won my first game of the season in the CP league. Took me long enough.

Cheerio · 10-02-2011, 05:17 PM

Things aren't looking good for me right now in the C league. Down by 22.5 with Addai and Rice, vs. M. Williams (TB) and Jets defence

Sainters7 · 10-02-2011, 07:08 PM

I just want to say thank you, Hakeem Nicks, for making me not want to murder myself for starting you over Steve Smith. That is all.

CofR · 10-02-2011, 07:45 PM

^^^^
You absolutely bent me over.

kermitology · 10-02-2011, 09:08 PM

Holy Hanna! I thought I was going to get slaughtered today, especially after Tate went lame, but Aaron Rodgers is a bloody GOD!

VANFLAMESFAN · 10-03-2011, 02:28 AM

Finally got my first win on the backs of Foster, Steve Smith, DeSean Jackson and a great FA pick up of the Skins DEF vs the Rams. All of these four plays were good for 20 plus points in my league.

Foster looked good and because of the Tate injury was given a ton of touches and seemed to handle it pretty well.

Can't wait to get Miles Austin back in Week 5. My team looks pretty good when healthy. Austin, Jackson, Steve Smith as my WR. Foster and Blount as my backs and Finley as my TE.

#boooooooom!

Time to sell Hightower while his stock is up? Torain is healthy again and Helu is starting to show his worth
3 points this week! My unbeaten record is over, and to a girl no less!

Beanie Wells really carrying the mail for me. Whodathunkit?
