rushing yards vs SD...
d.davis 87
c.martin 119
q.griffin 7
c.brown 55
f.taylor 64
t.duckett 45

as someone pointed out, maybe he'll get some catches. still for $3, he was good value

A series of gambles, ending with the jackpot...Droughns. he still has a bye week. and there's still concern that he could lose the starting gig with a bad game. sorry, i'm almost always pessimistic.

GG - you outbid me $79-$75 for McCareins, in 2 leagues ! So I end with K Campbell in both. Here is to K Campbell destroying McCareins this week. ha. got lucky i guess. na, actually it was skill. i thought someone might bid around $76 or so, so i thought $79 would take care of it. worked out. now he just has to CATCH some passes. if he doesn't work out, he'll be in a long line of FA's that sucked for me. at least i got some good FA$ left in all my leagues.

I dropped McCareins in the GEKKO league last week. Good luck with him, GG. herm was talking about getting him the rock THIS WEEK. if he doesn't have more than 5 catches, you can consider it his last game on my team.

Two things:

I am in no way involved with this wager. Not even slightly involved.

Second, Gekko -- you have consistently managed to bid in the range of 5-10 points ahead of me for free agents all season long. Please stop.

McCareins is a great pickup as Pennington/Edwards have a history of doing right by neglected guys.

Even though I have only 1 RB these two very nice folks let me grab Brad Hoover off the waiver wire for 3 of my remaining 10 bidding dollars. Brad Hoover, who likely will start for Carolina against the defensively challenged San Diego Chargers. I must say, such generosity cannot go unpunished The only thing Hoover will be good for this weekend is to vaccuum up the $1250 that you so kindly dropped in NY League #6

I had to pay $11 in LV2.

So hopefully his Hoover helps our squad out.

We are always thinking 2 steps ahead. In this case it is 4 steps

Good thing it's week 10. There's actually a scenario where I would want to lose to the first place team in week 12 or 13.

In the unlikely event I had a couple of huge weeks and found myself closing in on 2nd place in total points with the league leader 1st in total points and record...

Then I would want to be sure that the points leader stayed in 1st place so I could have a better chance to qualify with the 2nd best points. If the points leader isn't in 1st, then #2 in points has to be h2h winner or be out.
