There are some gifts that you simply shouldn't investigate too closely. Sometime between Sunday night and Monday afternoon, someone at ESPN changed the point total for the San Francisco 49ers defense/special teams from 31 to 39. As of 7:25 p.m. EDT Monday, that defense is the top fantasy football scorer from week 5 -- not the top-scoring defense, but the top scorer, period. Great call on your part, loyal Web surfers.
As a result of that adjustment, the People's Pigskin enters the Monday night game with a 112-89 lead over the Southern Rebels. (Of course, you'll be watching that game to see if Mason Crosby can outscore Greg Jennings, right?)
Speaking of Jennings, he and Matt Forte have their bye week coming up, and it might be a good idea to get someone off the waiver wire to be available if necessary. You know what that means? Another poll. Here are your choices.
Jerome Harrison, RB, Cleveland Browns. Anyone can benefit from a teammate's injury (in his case, Jamal Lewis' and James Lewis'), but it takes a real player to make the most of the opportunity. Last week Harrison ran for 121 yards and picked up 13 fantasy points. He faces the Buffalo Bills in week 5.
Steve Breaston, WR, Arizona Cardinals. His team had its bye this past week, but in week 3 this so-called third receiver got 94 yards and scored 9 fantasy points. He faces the Houston Texans in week 5.
Kenny Britt, WR, Tennessee Titans. His team is a disappointment, but Britt is getting his share of looks. Last week he racked up 105 yards and scored 10 fantasy points. He faces the Indianapolis Colts in week 5.
Here's the poll. Again, it will be open until Wednesday night, so we can get our request in. And feel free to leave a comment if you think we should go in a different direction.

Hi, great article. Wanted to get your opinion on the following.
ReplyDelete1.) get rid of welker now for a solid #1 RB...i.e. cadillac, or LT? I currently have Peterson, and willie parker, my recievers are a. johnson and welker.

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't push the panic button on Welker just yet. He was Tom Brady's most frequent target last Sunday against the Ravens, and you have to think his numbers will improve as his health does.
ReplyDelete[...] people who play fantasy football don’t set their teams the way we do here with polls like this one. Instead, they turn to expert opinions from TV shows, magazines, and Web sites. In fact, the author [...]
