Feeling good...

Well.. One game down.. I started Thomas Jones and I'm sitting at 17.9. When you can get 119 total yards and one touchdown out of your running back you have to be happy and I am. Especially after that first half.. That Patriots defense was filling the holes and hitting hard.. I honestly felt like Thomas Jones might only get me 7 points or so after the first half and Im glad he finished strong. I would like to send out a special thank you to the Patriots defense for getting pentalties and putting the ball down on the inch line for him to run it in. I definitely gave up hope on Thomas Jones a little early but Manginis play calling drives me nuts. It even drove me nuts last night. Sure by the end of the game Jones got 30 carries.. but I can not stand it when the Jets go empty back field.. or they set up in the shot gun with Leon Washington. They do it all the time on critical plays.. and they do it a lot when they are near the goal line. It drives me crazy and thats why Thomas Jones got benched last week in favor of Mewelde Moore. I have Leon Washington handcuffed to Thomas Jones.. but honestly if Washington were to get hurt it would probably make Jones a much better fantasy option because he would be on the field more.

I'm feeling good about my chances at advancing this week. I love my WR matchups. I believe Braylon Edwards will come through this week and I think Hines Ward will have a MONSTER game against the weak Chargers defense.

You know what else I love to see? The teams carrying Matt Cassell and Randy Moss hanging around for a few weeks. Cassell can have some great games.. but I have no doubts that he will flop one week and there will be lots of Cassell teams that are eliminated that week. Maybe it will be next week? Randy Moss is a terrible fantasy football reciever. He will be great and he will disappear and kill you when you need him the most. I hope LOTS of teams have him in the Vegas bracket.

Well.. I'm definitely looking forward to the weekend. I'm liking my Darren McFadden news that I'm getting. If he blows up I could be in for a monster week!
