Chester Taylor is on center stage this week.
|
Hey gang. The stomach flu has swept through my house
this week so if I seem a bit “off”, bear with me. Draining a man of all his fluids can sometimes produce a few
weird side effects. OK, now that you
have that visual in your head, let’s get to some football.
I have been right on the money lately with my Jocks and Jokes. Here’s hoping you have been reading and following my advice. The loss of Adrian Peterson
– the good one on the Vikings – will hurt a few teams heading down the stretch though. It will hurt a lot in
fact. Hopefully those that had him were
able to handcuff him to Chester Taylor. If not they will be hurting even more. Please, don’t start thinking Ricky Williams will fix your loss. Oh sure, I grabbed him for $1 weeks ago in my
keeper league and will hope he finds his peace with the football gods and makes
a useful running back next year. But
don’t expect him to lead you anywhere THIS year.
Patrick Crayton lived up to exactly what I expected out of him. I told you last week he was the type of
player that will go off anytime you bench him and then stink if you start
him. I suggested letting him go and
what did he do? He had a great game. Of course.
Let’s try an experiment. If you
have Crayton I suggest starting him this week.
Now I bet he stinks.
This Sunday is Week 11 and that
means you have only maybe four weeks left to make the playoffs. The fantasy football regular season flies
by. I am fully relaxed and ready to guide
you into the world of Fantasy Football Playoffs. If you are not a top team in your league, then I am sorry. If you a top team because you listened to
something I said that didn’t exactly go as I had hoped, then I am VERY
sorry. If your league doesn’t start
playoffs until week 16 instead of Week 15, then your league is SORRY.
Week 17 Championships are for
rookies. Change your schedule next year
so teams don’t have to play for the title without half their studs because they
are being rested in the NFL. We will
get more in to that later this year.
Weekly Mojo:
Gifts for your league
My wife reminded me today that Christmas is less than 50 days away now and she has officially begun her shopping. I love Christmas, honestly I do, but when it comes to holidays, I have a soft spot in my heart for Thanksgiving; turkey and football with family. How can you beat that?
