Grading My Week 7 Picks
October 28th, 2009 by Sports Guy MikeWith week 7 in the books, I want to look back on my blogs last week to see what I actually got right and laughing at how wrong I was on other things. Point for a correct player, minus one for a bad call.
Must Start Results
Donald Driver- GB- 2 Catches 84 Yards and one Touchdown- I’ll take that! He has been the most consistent receiver that Green Bay has. Winfield is out for the Vikings this week, look to start him again along with the other WRs for GB. I’ll take a point!
Zach Miller- Oak- 2 Catches and 15 yards, this was a miss. I was burnt the week before by Miller in two leagues, I thought Russell finally had something, I was wrong. At this point, there is NO Raider worth starting. Minus point, back to zero!
Wes Welker- NE- 10 Catches, 107 Yards and a TD. He is steady and healthy and even returning punts again, I will take that W, and say that he is a must start in any league now. Point!
Cedric Benson- Cincy- 37 Carries, 184 Yards and a TD. Wow, wow, wow, that is all I have to say. I watched this guy in college and seeing him in Chicago, I never thought he was going to pan out. He is having a great season and has the workload, must start every week, and I will take a point!
Tashard Choice- Dal- 0 Carries, 1 reception, 23 Yards. A huge miss, or was Felix Jones healthier than we thought, either way, a big fat 0!
I went 3 for 5, 1 point, but I will take that point!
Sleepers Results
Mike Wallace- Pitt- 2 carries 19 yards, 3 receptions 72 yards and a TD. He improves every week, and he continues to impress the Steelers and Big Ben. If you have a league with 10 or more teams, look to grab him and have him on your bench. ESPN has him owned in 6.1% of their leagues. Point for the sports guy!
Andre Caldwell- Cincy- 2 receptions for 19 yards. Palmer threw to Ochocinco a lot this weekend and Chris Henry actually showed up for a game, and don’t forget Benson got 37 carries against his former team. Keep Caldwell on your radar for deeper leagues, 11.4% owned in ESPN leagues. Not happy, minus a point.
Shonn Green- NYJ- 19 carries 144 yards, 2 TDs. I liked him before Washington got hurt, but now his stock has grown. He runs hard and will share carries with Thomas Jones (stock up as well). Pick him up if you can! Point to me!
Sam Aiken- NE- 2 Catches 66 Yards and a TD. Another weapon for Brady, with Galloway gone and Welker Jr (Edelman) injured, he is not a bad flex option as the Pats look to throw early and often. Point again!
Ahman Green- GB- Nothing, inactive. He will be for a week or two to get acclimated to the offense; I am giving myself a push!
3 for 4 with the fifth being a push, I will take that! Total points this week 3! More to come, later in the week!
