I'd say take the Colts at that spread.

Like I said, take the over haha. This game is unbelieveable. You nailed it Moe...and I couldn't be happier.

Heh, I was about to quote myself, as well... I just had a feeling.

Well this game isn't gonna be close. Thanks Saints for having Furnace Face blow me out of the water. (Unless Mike Thomas wants to get me 40 points vs. Ravens D)

40 point lead going into the game turn into trailing by 40 points now. Eff me.

[Cheerio]

Well today sure was a nice day to have Drew Brees and Marques Colston. Now I win unless MJD gets 40 more points than Ray Rice

[Sylvanfan]

Only in a 16 team freaking league do you fall victim to DeMarcus Murray. At least the duo of Forte and Arian Foster was enough to get me thru some starters on byes in my other leagues.

[Drake]

LMFAO, My kicker of all people won me one game tonight as he outscored my QB, a WR, and some RB's. In my other league it could be the same thing as long as Rice gets more points than his teammate Boldin as I have 5 point lead in that one. I feel confident that I will win that one too since Rice should be good for 100 yards rushing and a couple of scores.

[Pacem]

Good call on Beck. I'm within striking distance tonight. Only need a 2 TD game from MJD.... hahaha, so i'm more then likely losing this week. Not bad considering I was up against Foster.

[Rjcsjc62]

Going into this week I had 2 RB's on bye, and 2 RB's injured. Since I couldnt strike a good deal, I was forced to drop my 2 hurt RB's and hit the waiver wire.

7 days ago I had never heard of Demarco Murray, now he is my favorite person ever.

Does he keep the starting job now for good? when does Felix comeback?

I dont know if I just found a new starter, or if I should ship him off as tradebait.

[Hockey]

I got alot of work to do this week in the C league. Lots of players on byes including Rodgers and my only other QB is Bradford who is injured.

[Sainters7]

I'm kind of in the same boat, didn't realize both my TE's are on their bye the same week, plus my kicker and D (only got one) are on their bye. Both are top 5 in the fantasy world, so instead of risking losing any I'm actually thinking I may just take the hit this week and start some players on their bye. Kinda sucks but I think its my best option longterm.

[Cheerio]

No please, feel free to drop them
I need to choose 3 WRs to start from these 6 and I'm not sure who I want/I know I will get burned by a guy I choose getting opts and a guy on my bench getting 30
D. Jackson vs. Dallas
D. Bowe vs. San Diego
M. Colston vs. St. Louis
P. Garcon vs. Tennessee
N. Washington vs. Indianapolis
D. Thomas vs. Detroit

Leaning towards going with Bowe, Colston, and Jackson but any thoughts/opinions would be appreciated!

[Sainters7]

I'd definitely start Colston anyway. Indy was the first time I've noticed that Graham is starting to be double covered, I'm curious to see if this ends up becoming a trend (I'm sure it will). The added attention on him led to single coverage on Colston pretty much all game, and man did he ever take advantage of it.

Colston, Bowe, Jackson looks about right to me. Garcon has been getting some big #'s lately, and despite the mess on Sunday night I still think Painter is a decent QB fantasy-wise and can get him the rock. But I'm sure you know your team a lot better than I do, so I'll leave that up to you.

[Montana Moe]

Heh, I was about to post the same thing about Graham/Colston. Could be a very good second half of the season for Colston, and Graham will get his by sheer force.

Its Mr. DeMarco Murray to you... and Sooner fans have known he was a stud for a while. I played him this week too.

[flamesrule14]

So is Murray worth the pickup for this week? I have two RB on byes and Benson suspended so I need to be pickup someone. Thinking of picking up either him or Sproles.

[Montana Moe]

Sproles and Murray are available in your league? Madness!

[Sainters7]

I'm still kicking myself for drafting Ingram instead of Sproles. Who knew?

[Montana Moe]

I drafted him in a couple leagues because they use return yards, I figured he'd do Reggie's job in the offense better than Reggie could.

[Sainters7]

I figured about the same except I thought he wouldn't be as good a pass catcher as Reg. His role's become a lot larger than I thought it would be, man he's a player. Also, all I read about from Duncan/Triplett all TC was how Ingram looks unbelieveable and looks like a star (I'm sure you read it too), I didn't expect him to be in quite this much of a timeshare right now.

The worst part is, now that Ingram's finally starting to see a few more touches (and those fantasy gold, goal line touches), I had already given up on him in the fantasy world for this year and parlayed him into Willis McGahee, which was great until McGahee broke his hand last weekend. It's been that kinda year for me.

Fine. Mr. DeMarco Murray it is. If he wins me another week, I will buy his jersey. Sooners that is, I could never wear a Cowboys jersey.
