I think Scooter would've had a shot at the Chargers, because they were below McCluster in my waiver order. The Cards were below the Chargers, so I'd have had to survive two rounds of waiver pickups to get them.

Also, I did not place a claim on the Chargers. I was considering placing ones on the Cards for matchup, but it would of been my 4th claim and so unlikely to work.
If Darrell wants to join my team he can gladly do so - it would help having someone who has a clue about player value - though he may see my team and decide its a lost cause!

Hey, I started with 7 RBs and 3 QBs and somehow I'm 1-1.  Never give up!

I was derpin' all dayin', so once again no all-out discussion by position.
Last week I went 3-2-0, so my overall guessing record is 7-3-0 this year, not bad.
On to the guessing game!
Even though I am not sure I'll win(Though I suspect it will be within 10 or so), I've got to take the Samurai +28. That's a ridiculous number for a team that's facing a Romo that could be easily knocked out(Who for some reason dumped consistant if unspectacular backup option Joe Flacco instead of starting him like I would of done), a Chris Johnson who has looked the opposite of sharp for two weeks, a Frank Gore who has looked bad and a Percy Harvin against a tough Lions defense. +28 will cover.
Second matchup is hard. Biwinning is getting a sick +29, but their team is quite meh...but at the same time, he appears to have wideout corps that resemble a sickly child, with an Early Doucet unlikely to do anything, a Johnny Knox who will have a tough time and a Hakeem Nicks who has to face the Eagles' pass D with half the Giants' WRs out. Even with Rivers set to pump 50 points this week, I'm going to say Britt, Johnson and possibly the Bears D cover the spread. Biwinning, +29.
The War Chariots and Rams are practically pick, with the Chariots getting a simple point. The War Chariots' RBs are superior due to having two good guys while the Rams just have Ray Rice, Aaron Rodgers is liable to hang a ton of points again...but Rice and Johnson are beast. I'll take the War Chariots though on the strength of depth, +1.
The Giants are +23 at Scooter...but Scoots has Brady, even if countered by Brees, against a soft Bills D. He has Jahvid Best fighting Ahmad Bradshaw and, more importantly, Turner is a fine guy and will outscore LT. Scoots' wideout corps actually aren't that much better, but DeSean has the big game chance and I'll buy against New York this week. Also, Dustin Keller has been hot. Scooter, -23.
Spider Pigs are -3 against the Jays this week. Gotta take the Pigs this week, as even though their depth leaves them vulnearable, without injuries they ain't. Vick coming off a concussion might not affect much, but Stafford is liable to counter easily. McCoy will probably beat Fred and neither's #2 RB is solid. Nelson's numbers in points were good, but remember he only had 1 reception and 2 targets last week. Steve Smith against Jacksonville? Sign me up. So I'll grab the Pigs -3 and curse them for nabbing Helu.
And that's your horoscope for today.

Oh, and something I forgot to mention on my prediction for me: Schaub and Andre happen to be facing a pretty damn bad Saints' D. CALL THE COPS!

One comment about my matchup:
I had been waiting on official word of whether Foster would play or not to swap in Tate for Jackson (I don't think Jackson's going to get much luck into the end zone, and that Buffalo isn't going to run much in the 2nd half). So, since Tate gets to carry the ball all day...

Let me tell you, as a Bills fan living in New England, watching Welker rack up points for your fantasy team is a very weird feeling.
I suppose I know we're going to get torched, so better to keep it coming to Welker than Gronkowski.
And Freddie will get his points, Cyneheard. He's a crucial part of the offense regardless and the Pats D sucks.
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

My problem isn't Freddie (vs. Tate, who's doing just fine). It's that Vick's stinking it up so far. And McCoy is carrying Philly instead.
Gronk, however, is showing that he was by far my best draft choice.

Thank you Giants for that stop... now for McCoy to punch it in, I hope...
You can get a look at a t-bone by looking up the bulls ass but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.
