Cedric Benson is a better option than Joseph Addai.

[Jwolf0]

And there was a reason I made the Mufasa/Cedric Benson (brrr....) comparison. However, I did get the boom/bust part of that preview right. Illmatic could've had Benson, Adrian Peterson, and Jim Brown and it wouldn't matter. 26 points with just the D left to play! Ouch.

[Zatren6]

Ah, True was right, I should have played Eli today. I figured the Giants would just run the ball all over the Chiefs so I didn't start him and went with Brees. Oh well. Still winning.

Also, EXTREMELY glad I picked up Ricky Williams just before the games started...he had a fantastic game, along with Ronnie Brown. 36 points between the two of them.

[True]

Alright here's hoping that my 61 point lead is safe from Purple Jesus on Monday night!

Did Thanksgiving move to it's new date between Week 1 and 2 of Fantasy Football season

If no, someone must remind Romo that the holiday has not occurred yet.

Week 5 Previews!

Disclaimer: Is anyone even reading this anymore?

Sparky McRandomsons (3-1) at Konoha Shinobi (2-2) (Matchup)
Sparky McRandomsons favored by 16.

-The projections aren't kind to Sir Whirly, with only Kurt Warner and the San Fran D expected to hit double digits. Dallas Clark should score more than 9, and so should Michael Turner. But starting Brandon Stokely can't be good for your fantasy health. Team Longname takes it on the strength of its receiving corps.

The Generals (1-2-1) at Zatties! (3-1) (Matchup)
The Generals favored by 13.

-Peyton and Reggie versus a crap Titans secondary plus Eli being bothered by that bruised heel means Nuclear Raven gets back on track and even up their record.

Dark Adepts (3-1) at Scorehappy3 (0-4) (Matchup)
Dark Adepts favored by 39.

Four players on bye for Scorehappy, but I don't know if they'll get switched out. Are they even playing still? Dark Adepts win this one easily.

Tokyo Raiders (2-2) at True Miracles (2-2) (Matchup)
True Miracles favored by 15.

-The Bye week hits roninmedia hard, with his top two receivers out on bye. Combine that with Cotchery questionable because of a late hammy injury, and even if Tony Romo remembers this isn't December a suddenly resurgent True takes it. True, I think you owe Mike Sims-Walker and Vernon Davis cookies for how well they'll play for you.

Knuckleheaded Ninjas (2-2) at Rochester Bulls (2-2) (Matchup)
Knuckleheaded Ninjas favored by 28.

-It was fun watching the CPU team squeak one out here and there, but now that bye weeks have set in, reality hits. Shame too, Ed's autopick team isn't horrible. The Commish wins in a walkover.

Gama Warriors (2-1-1) at Bailoutpackage4lyfe (1-3) (Matchup)
Bailoutpackage4lyfe favored by 6.

-Uhhhh... this one is hard to pick. I think Patrick Crayton is undervalued here, but so is Andre Johnson. Brandon Jacobs and MJD will run through their respective opponents. The weather in Buffalo is forecasted to be clear with 13-mph winds. Is that enough to stop Trent Edwards from not being mediocre? Probably not. Gama Warriors in a close one.

Last week: 2-4
No "Kick to the Groin" winner last week.

Goddammit Mike Sims-Walker was a game time decision so I couldn't switch him out. You can't do anything about it even though the game was a 4:15 one can you?

EDIT: I read them Jwolf. You're like the H&E analyst!

[Sir Whirly]

I failed with the defense I should have chosen. -sigh-

[Illmatic]

Benson was a beast, glad I picked him up late in the draft. He played well for Cinci towards the end of last years season, so I thought he was good value late in the draft.

[Mik3]

Benson was a beast, glad I picked him up late in the draft. He played well for Cinci towards the end of last years season, so I thought he was good value late in the draft.

He came in last season with little training camp under his belt and ran pretty decently, so now that he had a full camp, hes been running all over and the bengals haven't seen this kind of production since Corey Dillon. It was a good sleeper choice you made.

[Burning_Wulf]

Week 5 acted as my bye week.

[NuclearRaven]

Finally! I'm off the shnide. I'm up 103 to 85 at the moment with Thomas Jones and Braylon Edwards going tomorrow on MNF. I think it's safe to say that I won this week.

[Zatren6]

COME ON RONNIE BROWN!

[roninmedia]

I think I invoked the wrath of the fantasy gods when I mentioned perfection. Doesn't help my RB's have been terrible too.

[Jwolf0]

Week 5 Results:

Sparky McRandomsons 88
Konoha Shinobi 74
-I said in the preview that it was the McRandomsons' WR corps that would decide this. More like Roddy White specifically. His 33 offset good days from Kurt Warner and Michael Turner, and the Niners' D chose a good day to lay a big egg (for me, anyway).

Dark Adepts 71
Scorehappy3 31
-Chicago's bye week turned into a bye week for the Adepts.

Knuckleheaded Ninjas 96
Rochester Bulls 80
-Fun fact: Mik3's team had more players who put up 0 points this week than the Autodraft team. Thank God for Fitzgerald, huh?

The Generals 131
Zatties! 106
-Nuclear Raven's team looks much better now with the Braylon Edwards trade to the Jets. Peyton and company did what Peyton and company do, and The Generals even their record up. 2-2-1 can't be what Raven was hoping for heading into Peyton's bye week, though.

Tokyo Raiders 71
True Miracles 114
-True's running backs showed up, ronin's didn't. But at least Romo had a good game. P.S. I got burned by Sims-Walker's suprise inactive in a different league also, True.

Gama Warriors 86
Bailoutpackage4lyfe 111
-Jeez, that Cleveland-Buffalo game had to be one of the ugliest of all time. Good thing no one had to start any of their playe- oh. Sorry Nee-sama. Also, memo to Jacksonville's coaching staff: Whatever you did to prep for the Seahawks game? Don't do that again. As a Seattle fans I was delighted beyond belief, but... wow. Just, wow. I would've put money (if I had any) on MJD running wild on the 'Hawks. Any given Sunday, I guess.

And the current standings:

1. Sparky McRandomsons 4-1-0, 481 points scored.
2. Dark Adepts 4-1-0, 419
3. True Miracles 3-2-0, 482
4. Zatties! 3-2-0, 470
5. Knuckleheaded Ninjas 3-2-0, 465
6. The Generals 2-2-1, 526
7. Gama Warriors 2-2-1, 513
8. Tokyo Raiders 2-3-0, 457
9. Bailoutpackage4lyfe 2-3-0, 450
10. Konoha Shinobi 2-3-0, 450
11. Rochester Bulls 2-3-0, 409
12. Scorehappy3 0-5-0, 374

[True]

After starting 0-2 and last in the league, I am pleased with my current standing. Now to continue in good stride.

[Zatren6]

Ok guys, I would do trading block but...no one looks at those.

I need an RB, and I'm putting Eli Manning on the trading block to get a decent one. Manning has 1200+ yards and 10 TDs and a passer rating of 100+ throughout the season already, so he's a very good QB. He has garnered over 100 Fantasy points throughout the season.

So yeah. If anyone is interested in trading me a Running back for Eli Manning, and perhaps throwing around some other deals as well, PM me/trade request me.

Thanks! >D

[Mik3]

Jwolf aint done it yet so I couldn't resist stealing it. Im the commish, I can do that


Week 6 Previews:


4-1 Dark Adepts (Burning_Wulf) at 2-2-1 The Generals (NuclearRaven)
Dark Adepts favored by 3


-This will be a close one, but there is plenty of matchups I don't like for Adepts. Jason Campbell is one of the worst options at QB, that team has barely any offense. Steven Jackson hasn't done well the last few seasons because the rams overall are pretty terrible. However Pittsburgh defense is facing off with the browns this week, and the line on Anderson last week was 2 for 17 with only 23 yards and an interception. So he might score big on the defensive effort. Steve Smith also faces a suspect New Orleans secondary if eli can ge him the ball. On the other side The Generals has on of the best teams on paper that ive ever seen, yet hes just 2-2-1. That's parity baby. Hes got some strong matchups with Braylon Edwards and Thomas Jones matched up with buffalo and All Day against that suspect Baltimore defense. I pick the Generals in a tight one.





2-3 Konoha Shinobi (Sir whirly) at Scorehappy3 (Anewhope3)
Konoha Shinobi favored by 2


-This should be a blowout victory for whirly. Hes got Kurt Warner and the Arizona Defense against Seattle, who did have a pulse last week and suprised us with a dismantling of the Jaguars. I don't like Scorehappy's running backs this week. Reggie Bush against a stout defense in the New York Giants, and McGahee has continued to lose snaps as Ray Rice out of Rutgers continues to establish himself as a starter for Baltimore. I got Konoha Shinobi.




2-3 Rochester Bulls (Ed) at 2-3Bailoutpackage4lyfe
Rochester Bulls favored by 14


-Our favorite Auto-draft squad and illmatic are in the race for .500 as his tagline reads. This is going to be close, and its hard to pick a winner. But teams have amazing depth at WR and Running back. i think the difference will be Matt Ryan out tossing Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers are trying to get back to smash mouth style football and they've been feeding Mendenhall the ball these last two weeks and I look for that to continue. I have Bailoutpackage4lyfe in a tight one.



2-3 Tokyo Raiders (roninmedia) at 3-2 Zatties! (Zatren6)
Tokyo Raiders by 7


-It should be noted that Zatren is trying to trade for a running back so he has a spot empty. This is the boom or bust, feast or famine game of the week. Garrard could potentially light up a very sad Rams defense. Drew Brees might throw caution to the wind and still rack up yards and TDs against the giants secondary. Hell both of these guys have Wide outs on their teams facing each other. The only true advantage either team has is the Jets defense matching up with Buffalo versus the Giants against the Saints. Im sure Zatren has a Running back by sunday and Ill pick the Zatties to be the ones who get to feast.




2-2-1 Gama Warriors (Nee-sama) at 3-2 True Miracles (True)
Gama Warriors favored by 14


-Once upon a time True was 0-2 and last in the league. But how things have changed, hes now 3-2 and moved up to 3rd place. Its never really over folks.
True has got Tom Brady against the hapless Titans this week. At 0-5 the Titans seem more like whimps, and they are going to play with nothing to lose.Not that Brady cares, they're just a another W waiting to happen. He'll trash them this week. And the re-emergence of Chad Ochocinco has been pleasant the Bengals are winning the division holy kitten. Gama Warriors has Aaron Rodgers back this week, and what a return in store for him. Hes got the Detroit Lions to whoop on before a rematch in Lambeau with Moses himself. And it never hurts to have MJD. The combination of Rodgers and MJD are why I got Gama Warriors putting a halt to True's win streak.




3-2 Knuckleheaded Ninjas (Mik3) at 4-1 Sparky McRandomsons (Jwolf0)
Knuckleheaded Ninjas Favored by 10 points



-I look at the matchups and I thank the Lord almighty for this week. Mcnabb vs the Raiders, Fitz vs the Seahawks, Mendenhall vs the browns and jax defense vs the rams. I likey. Teamlongname has some tough matchups ahead for their RBs, but i pray Johnson doesn't tear it up. THROW THE BALL JEFF, SURPRISE BILL WITH AN AERIAL ASSAULT!!!! If his receivers are prevented from big days, then I like mwah in a close game.

[True]

Thank you Brady for solidifying the win this week!
