Money well spent by Greg and I in WCOFF. We paid over $700 for him and started him once and that was last night.

I love this game. :D

A lot of $$$ will be spent on Grant this week.

I wonder if people realize the Pack hadn't done anything on the ground prior to last night. Grant looked decent, but it was mainly due to the inept run defense of the Broncos.

Maybe Gado will make his way back to WI .

This will lead to the return of Brandon Jackson to the mix. Also, Vernand will get his touches in the passing game as Grant will not see the field on obvious passing situations. That was quite obvious last night.

Some of you guys are great as it's like a new Harley coming out. Just can't wait to spend money. :D

I love this game. :D Of ALL the people who should have known better, you two as Packer fans knew that Green Bay's running game blew. You, in fact, said it several times, TK. I am very surprised you guys spent that kind of dough on him.

[/QUOTE]Not surprised at all. I really felt the big back like Wynn was the right fit for this offense, not a small back like Jackson or Morency. McCarthy isn't going to give up on this zone blocking scheme and he will keep pushing it as the Packers can't win in December without a formidable running game. Someone in that backfield is going to be a solid contributor and I really felt Wynn was that back.

If he doesn't get hurt last night, he could have easily had those same numbers that Grant put up. Now it's Grant's show and we certainly don't feel bad about spending our money early in the WCOFF season to improve the weakest spot of our lineup: RB2. We'd take the shot again if given the chance, especially in a shortened 11-week season like that one.

One more thought: Grant sure looks a lot like a young Dorsey Levens wearing that No. 25. He has a similar running style like Dorsey, who grew into an All-Pro back. I'm not sure Grant is capable of becoming like Dorsey was in 1996, but I like his early looks. And I'll admit, I don't have him in a single fantasy league thus far.

I have to say that if you are putting your hopes on anyone in Green Bay's running game you are reaching for the stars here and coming up really short. DeShawn Wynn was a waiver wire wonder for the short time that he was but we all knew that he wasn't going to be the stud that everyone wanted him to be.

I can see both Brandon and Morency working their way right back into the mix.

BUT...aside from Chatman...Grant may be the RB to logically get the most touches going forward off waivers.

I know he's mine in the magazine auction league (sorry Greg)...as well as WCOFF main. I have big FA $$$ in both...and see no reason to not use it here.
