Well I can't speak for Brandon since I definitely wasn't going to carve a Patriots pumpkin, but here's my Happy Halloween to all y'alls. This was my best attempt at carving a semi-recognizable Bills logo into a pumpkin without slaughtering it. Of course I have to like a team with a pretty complicated logo to carve. Shoulda been a Bears fan, I guess.
It looks like the injury that rookie running back DeShaun Wynn suffered in Sunday's game was a little worse than initially though. Wynn will miss the remainder of the season after injuring a nerve in his neck and being placed on the Injured Reserve list. This opens the door for the man who replaced him, Ryan Grant, to prove that he can handle the starting role. He did well against the Broncos, rushing for 104 yards, even though Denver has the worst rush defense in the NFL. If you're low on running back depth, Grant should be picked up immediately.
After reading an article about the AccuScore Super Computer on ESPN.com, which ran simulations of the Patriots-Colts game, I'm thoroughly convinced that we are already running out of things to talk about with these two teams. Honestly, what is the point of running simulations of a game where the sport's slogan goes "...anything can happen on any given Sunday"? Unless you're on your way to your bookie to place a big bet, how can the outcome of computer simulations affect you in any way? The nerd next door might as well run a Madden '08 simulation on his XBox and tell you who won...it would have the same bearing on what will happen this Sunday.
Well, we're halfway through the regular season in the NFL, which means we're almost 2/3 of the way done with the fantasy football regular season. If you still have a chance to make the playoffs, but are stuck with some bye week/injury issues, you might consider picking up the following players this week...
In this new weekly FFGeekBlog feature, I take a look at the players whose values are on the move. Chris Berman will help guide you as to what the three categories below actually mean. When Chris Berman's your guide, the world is your oyster... that's my motto.
I told you not to worry about it. Addai had 23 carries to Keith's six, which officially grants Keith "Breather Boy" status. Those 23 carries went to good use, too; 100 yards and 3 touchdowns made him easily the best RB play of the week.
Sorry, but before I go into football related topics, I have to give a shout out to the Boston Red Sox for their World Series victory last night. With a 4-3 win, they swept the Colorado Rockies for their second World Series Championship in four years. With most of their talent expected to return next season...do I hear DYNASTY?!
I was counting on you as a bye-week plug-in in two leagues this week, and how do you reward my trust? You wait until about 2pm EST, then decide you're not playing, after being listed as Probable all week. Luckily I was home, but I had to scramble, and managed to plug in Michael Turner (1 fantasy points) in one league, and picked up Ron Dayne, Green's backup, in the other (he netted me a whopping 5 fantasy points).
Brandon's off somewhere again, so it's just me. Again. I'm a latchkey co-blogger.
If you haven't seen my previous "shocker" posts, my definition of a fantasy shocker is a player who comes out of relatively nowhere, has a gigantic, multi-touchdown game, becomes the hottest waiver commodity the following week, and then soon sinks back into the relative obscurity from whence he came. You might even call them "ultra-sleepers," but you'd be wrong. They're called "shockers." Can't you read?
