1-2

W 74 - 52 @Philadelphia Eagles Hater

While I scored a win in Week 3, it was hardly a performance worthy of much gloating up top. In the interest of full disclosure I will say here that my opponent played injured K.C. RB Jamaal Charles, who has not yet this year played, did not play, and will not play at all until 2012. In other words, I was playing a dummy team with no one at the helm and still was lucky to eek out a W.

QB: Matt Schaub had the big week I knew he was capable of when I drafted him as my first quarterback, throwing for 373 yards and 3 TDs. ...My third quarterback is recent wire acquisition Cam Newton, who I started instead of Schaub this week, and who threw for 160 yards and 1 TD. Loss: 10 points

LL*: Check the weather report before kickoff. Had I done this, I'dve expected heavy rain in Carolina and would've adjusted my roster accordingly.

RB: My friend said today, "Running backs are worthless this year," by which he meant teams are throwing a lot. It is only week 4 and 2 QBs have 1000+ yards! Matt Forte, who this week caught 7 passes for 80 yards, certainly gets thrown to a lot; his versatility as a back makes him a threat every week. Arian Foster (AFo) should be returning to form this week against the Steelers.

WR: Patriots' QB Tom Brady threw for over 400 yards again this week, only this time he did it without the help of my WR Deion Branch, who caught 0 passes. SHP Devin Hester (3, 65) Loss: 6 points

One more WR note: ATL's Roddy White may be battling an injured thigh according to the cryptic half-reporting of popular websites - as always, I'll be keeping my eye on the wire. See you again in 3 days.

ON THE BENCH WEEK 4: Matt Schaub (again), Matt Ryan, Shonn Greene, Reggie Bush, Hines Ward, Cadilliac Williams, 1 TBD

L 82-86 @cxxn Nxxsers

It's been a bad start to what still may be my best fantasy season ever. How's that for optimism! I lost this game at the last minute Sunday night, as the Eagles D/ST gave up just a few too many points to the high-flying Atlanta Falcons.

QB: Matt Schaub had a pedestrian day for fantasy owners, 230 yards, 2 TDs. Both my backups were better than that; Matt Ryan and "Killa" Cam Newton combined for 600+ yards and 6 TDs. Newton is likely to get the starts for the next few weeks. Loss: 9 points

RB: Arian Foster* a.k.a. AFo, making his hamstring-injury-delayed debut, didn't have the breakout game I hoped for today, carrying just 10 times for 33 yards. SHP Shonn Greene, who ran 16x for 49 yards and a score. Loss: 7 points

RB/WR: Reggie Bush was not a factor in Miami's offense this week. I may have to be more selective about playing Bush in the future. Devery Henderson was on my bench, and caught 3 balls for 103 yards and a TD. Loss: 15 points

ON THE BENCH WEEK 3: Matt Schaub, Matt Ryan, Devin Hester, Hines Ward, Cadillac Williams, 2 TBD

*Arian Foster left this game with a tight hamstring - whether he'll play Week 3 is uncertain. If he plays, he'll start on my team, today's performance not withstanding. Devotees of this blog will recall a mantra repeated early and often herein: You Gotta Play Your Studs."

RB	Arian Foster, Hou RB P

That "P" means Arian Foster will play Sunday. With A-Fo and Matt Forte in my backfield, there's little chance of me reporting any mistakes at RB on Monday. One and one, here we come!

0-1

L 86 - 96 @New Funswick Mangoes

Well, week 1 is over, and it was a tough loss for the Tuna Subs. Let's get right to it.

RB: My #1 pick Arian Foster has an injured hamstring, did not play week 1, and may or may not return for week 2. In his absence, the pressure is on back-up RBs Reggie Bush and Shonn Greene to step it up! Bush had a good game, with 80 multipurpose yards and a TD. Shonn Greene, on the other hand, got only a handful of carries in the Jets' pass heavy offense, and underperformed with only 25 yards.

SHP: Ricky Williams, Loss: 4 points

D/ST: I started the Giants D/ST in week 1, thinking they would come out strong against division rivals Washington. They didn't. Besides a fumble recovery, the Giants' D focused mostly on giving up scores.

SHP: Eagles D/ST, Loss: 11 points

ON THE BENCH WEEK 2 (as of Wed., 09/14): Matt Ryan, Cam Newton*, Shonn Greene, Cadillac Williams*, Devin Hester, Devery Henderson*, Hines Ward

* Player acquired by waiver claim or free agency
