i did have six cornonas before the draft. that couldn't have helped.

I would look out for teams without many Seahawk, Colts or Pats on their roster as those players may not even be on the field in week 16. how many does snake have?

I never implied my team was better off than snake's with regard to depth. Depth will certainly help any team field competetive lineups. He has that ability, I am on the verge of not having it at all. But again, he's playing vs 42 teams that may not match his depth, but can easily outscore him head to head, which is what I expect to happen. As for myself, I also don't expect my team to compete. Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised that barring any other injuries, my team finishes right around where his does - somewhere out of the money.

i'm actually SHOCKED that you'd have only 4 rb's on your roster. you are going into the playoffs for three weeks without any FA moves. i think the rackers thing in the wcoff got to you. 5 rb's would be the call over 2 kickers given an 18 man roster.

how many times has he scored 20 points in his career?

[/QUOTE]More calculated risks that ended up backfiring. Moats was there for the taking last week but I chose to pass on him for several reasons, mainly that if I needed to play him, I'd probably have no shot at winning anyhow. So instead I picked up Roydell and the rest is history.
