  1. I think overall Jordan has the better team but his players have a bunch of tough matchups. So this week I think Andrew takes it, plus his name is Andrew!

  2. One point - Andrew. Suck it, Jordan. Plus, my name is Andrew.

  3. Rivers' got a trap game against Denver, and Beanie is questionable--advantage Jordan.

  4. Do you have a backup for Beanie? He might be the deciding factor in this match-up. I don't like Jordan's RBs at all, but the rest of his team is mucho caliente.
    Advantage Jordan.
    Loser has to shave his head and post it on the website for all to witness. Epic.

  5. Andrew's got this for sure. Better RB choices, WR's are matched, Rivers will play well (he better, I have VJax). If you had something better than Washington I'd say it would be a blowout.

  6. I gotta go with Andrew here.

  7. borat117, a blowout? Really? Yeah, I know his RBs are better. That's obvious, by a wide margin. But the rest? Not so much of a landslide. We'll see who's laughing last. Probably him, but still...

  8. freakinlaserbeams, yeah, I don't really like my RBs either. Shave my head, though? Or his? That's extreme. We both know I have WAY better hair, so the sacrifice would be much, much greater for me.

  9. That's what I'm talking about!

  10. My overall point total speaks for itself, Andrews, the former seems level headed, though a bit infatuated with his own name. We'll see.

  11. Very good. I agree wholeheartedly.

  12. I've got Mike Williams, but I don't really like anyone on the Bucs offense as far as fantasy goes. Washington has the hardest matchup though, so there could be a late breaking change.

  13. Beanie was questionable last week and had 130 yards and three scores. I think I'm good.

  14. Beanie will play. He was questionable last week and led all RBs in points. Jordan has a pretty nice WR and TE lineup, but they are all with hard matchups. Welker vs. Revis... I don't know about that.

  16. Was offered Finley for McGahee and Ridley. I think I’m going to take it because I need a TE and my RBs are already pretty stacked: McCoy, Best, Beanie, and Blount.

    What you think? Right now I have Gresham in the TE slot.

    .5 PPR league.

  17. Prediction - Cam throws for 3 interceptions - or 2 and a fumble.

  18. I'd go with the first three you listed.

    Nelson is having a great year and gets a lot of targets
    Colston should emerge as the #1 again and have a far better week than last.
    White is pretty obvious.

  19. Gresham is not bad. Finley is a step up though. I'd honestly want a little bit more out of this trade as both McGahee and Ridley have great upside.

    But you do have a stacked group of RBs, so you can go for it.

  20. Sounds good to me!
