Studs and Duds: Week 14

Going into week 14 of the NFL season, I'm assuming that this is the first round of the playoffs for most managers out there. Hopefully some of my suggestions last week were able to give you that final push to secure a playoff spot (and hopefully they didn't cause you to miss the playoffs!) If you listened to my recommendations and started Justin Fargas or Derrick Ward, you were most likely pleased with your decision. Also performing well was the Colts passing game, especially the Manning to Wayne connection. Then, as expected, Kevin Jones played poorly...although I can't take credit for just how terrible he'd actually be. Three carries for one (1) yard?!!! At least he got 16 receiving yards I guess.

The Wire: Week 14

Wow, I'm glad I'm a Patriots fan and not a Ravens fan after last nights game. Imagine the feeling those players had when they thought they had the game won...then realized that one of their coaches had called a time out? Ouch! Alright, that's enough rubbing it in. I was definitely on an emotional roller coaster watching that one though...let's hope the rest of their undefeated season is a lot less exciting (as they return to blowing out teams!) Anyways, the playoffs start this week in most leagues, so hopefully you have earned a spot in your league's tournament. In case you're in search of some last minute players to snag off the waiver wire that could help your team advance, here you go...

Sunday Wrap-up: JaMarcus Russell sighting!

That's right folks, yesterday we finally got a glimpse of the top overall pick in this years NFL draft...and a glimpse was all it really was. For some strange reason, coach Lane Kiffin decided the right time to give Russell some experience was early in the second quarter of the game. Russell led the team on two scoreless drives (going 4-for-7 for 56 yards) before being replaced by the games starter, Josh McCown. I guess maybe Kiffin wasn't ready to start him, but he also didn't want to bring him in with the game on the line in the second half...but it still seemed a little odd to me. Who knows how the Oakland quarterback situation will play out over the rest of the season though, with McCown, Culpepper and Russell in the mix, but I guess we'll just wait and see what kind of tricks Kiffin has up his sleeves. Anyways, with the Patriots about to beat the Ravens and move to 12-0 tonight, here is a recap of the action that took place yesterday (including Thursday's game as well)...

Congratulations to Thomas Jones

It took 13 weeks and a matchup against a team that's odds-on to go 0-16 this year, but Tommy finally scored his first touchdown of the season! Had he been able to spend an entire season as an NFL team's starting tailback without scoring once, I'm fairly certain it would have been an accomplishment on par with the Dolphins' 2007 destiny.
