Roster Freak Out - Week 16

It's championship week, and put-up-or-shut-up time for the RFO column.

"... HELP ME."

Let's see if my merry band of misfits can upend any of the top-8 UMass Ballers.


While my team will probably fail, I look at my reasoning and feel good about these guys off the trash heap. And really, it's about how you feel inside, right? ... right?!

QB: Chad Henne - Has had many a high yardage game against the Pats, and will likely be playing from behind; Pats DB's prepared to salute his Shorts.

WR: Brandon Gibson - Getting really solid target numbers even with Amendola back; TB awful against pass.

RB: Curtis Brinkley - Undrafted Orangeman looks like the lead back in SD following predictable Mathews injury; Battle to get 3 TDs with my luck.

TE: Marcedes Lewis - Double points with Henne, and Pats oft victimized by middle tier opposing TEs (Scott Chandler, Dustin Keller).

W/T: Riley Cooper - Philly looking to keep pace with RGIII offensively; Coop a solid red zone target for Loles.

W/R: Brandon Stokley - Slot man will be counted on with Decker and Thomas covered by Browns' respectable starting CBs.

W/R: Nate Washington - Due for an end-zone visit as Titans try to keep pace with Pack.

K: Ryan Succop - At home against mediocre Colts D, bungling Chiefs should at least get in scoring range a few times.

DEF: Washington - Looking opportunistic of late, and put up 20 points against scuffling Eagles last time.


*EDIT*

QB: Chad Henne - 14.12 points

WR: Brandon Gibson - 3.3 points

RB: Curtis Brinkley - 0.3 points (damn you, Jackie Battle!)

TE: Marcedes Lewis - 2.7 points

W/T: Riley Cooper - 1.8 points

W/R: Brandon Stokley - 3.2 points

W/R: Nate Washington - 1.5 points

K: Ryan Succop - 8 points

DEF: Washington - 11 points

Total: 45.92 points - not even a single non-throwing TD this week.

Final fantasy league tally for my four leagues: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th in the only one I actually cared about.
