For those that haven't heard, Liquid Empire (co-managing with Ico the "**Kate and Halle**" team) has accepted a challenge this week with the loser posting appropriately and other goodies.

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

Defensively challenged San Diego Chargers??? Last time I checked, JP, they were 2nd in the NFL against the run. You must be looking for Hoover to catch a lot of balls out of the backfield.

I dropped McCareins in the GEKKO league last week and think you came out ahead, KJ. Then again, I dropped M. Moore whom you beat me with last week. Good luck with him, GG.

Sorry, KJ, got you confused with Appleman whom I'm playing this week. Good luck!!

For this week, I think Campbell may actually be the better pickup, and at a much lower price, but with McCareins as the Jets #2 and Campbell the Vikes #4, I did bid more on McC.

For the record, San Diego has given up 19.3 fantasy points per game to RBs (not counting reception points) against a league average of 18.9. Okay, maybe not a big favorable situation, but I'm okay with it.

Carolina has averaged 18.7 RB fantasy points per game (also excluding reception points) making them a pretty middle of the pack club. Best is Indy and Seattle at 24.7, worst is Miami at 8.7. Denver at 22.9 RB fp/game.

San Diego gave up 25/93/1 to the Falcons last week, and average 85.7 yards allowed per game this season - they don't give up a ton of yards. However, they have surrendered 7 scores in this phase of the game, averaging .8 TDs and 71 rushing yards allowed per contest over the past 4 weeks - they aren't shutting people out of the endzone right now.
