Ask the Geeks: Week 9

Jason asks: Would you sit Addai and Wayne against the Pats? I can plug in Willis McGahee and A. Boldin as replacements.

Matt's take: The Pats may have one of the toughest rushing defenses in the league, so Addai's not as strong a play as he normally is. But look at who McGahee's up against - the Steelers' even-tougher rushing defense. Starting a lesser RB against a better rush D makes zero sense.

Draftmix.com Blogger Challenge - we won!

Brandon and I drafted a team in a competition among fantasy sports bloggers hosted by Draftmix.com. It was a one-week "league," with 12 teams.
