Man, am I on a roll lately. In both leagues I am on a 3 game win streak and have crawled back to respectability.

As always, check out Rod and Adam‘s trials and tribulations. .

As I said last week, I was the benefit of having an opponent with half his team on bye week. You know what, though? A win is a win, and anytime you can take down the first place team is a good day.

I took the game 193-150, which is plenty closer than I thought it would be, thanks to Titus Young‘s goose egg and Tony Romo‘s sub-par performance. What kept me in the game? DeMarco Murray and his gonzo performance. Thankfully I was finally able to cut Felix Jones loose and the pickup of Murray looks like a good one.

This week, another tough week, as I’ve been hit by the bye bug (White and Turner…although White isn’t much of a loss), and I had to use my 2 pickups this week on a Defense and a Kicker. It’s an interesting matchup as some of my team could benefit is some of my opponents team has a good day (ex. he has Stafford, I have Pettigrew and Young), so I expect this to go down to Monday’s game.

A game I was predicted to lose ended up being a spanking (by standard scoring) 86-67 despite my opponent having Cam Newton and his 25 fantasy points. The rest of his team had a rough day. Stafford, Forte, Delone Carter, and Fred Davis (who?) all had double digit days giving me the easy win.

This week, barring a last minute replacement of half his team (Oakland’s on a bye), it should be another win. Picked up Jackie Battle to step in for the injured Jhavid Best, and dumped Oakland’s defense for the Giants, who face the pathetically sad Dolphins this week..

All I need is to be able to dump Reggie Wayne and I’ll be set.
