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."
