Hey, it made sense on paper. Sometimes the game just decides to bend you over.

Wait, how'd you get zero? I didn't see the game, but looking at his stat line, I would think you guys have some weird scoring for him to get zero.

Definitely want the win this week to go to 3-0 on the year so far. I've had Brees as my starting QB the last two weeks, and while he hasn't put up outstanding numbers, he's been pretty solid. Now here is where it gets difficult. I've got RG3 as my other QB and he's put up some great numbers.

So, who would you go with? Brees against the Chiefs, or RG3 against the Bengals?
Ummm Brees. Easy decision. Trade RG3 before he comes back to earth.

I'm in a Yahoo league as well, and I just checked again and I was wrong--I got 2.28 points (out of a projected 28.12)
Thu, Sep 20

Newton completed 16-of-30 passes for 242 yards with three interceptions and rushed six times for six yards with a touchdown Thursday against the Giants. Recommendation: It was a night to forget for the dynamic second-year quarterback. Newton's game was saved by a one-yard touchdown plunge, but otherwise he looked out of sorts Thursday with Jason Pierre-Paul and company harassing him. The three interceptions bring his three-game total to five against just two passing touchdowns. The good news is that the Panthers and Newton have a long week (and change) ahead to iron out the kinks before they travel to Atlanta.

Eh, that's tough.

I'd personally go with Lloyd, but it's a crap shoot.

I thought DJax would be covered up with Peterson covering him since Maclin is out.
