With 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!

This post doesn’t have as much to do with fantasy advice as it does the fact that Chad Johnson (I refuse to use Ochocinco as his last name because of its pure idiocy) has once again taken the camera lens and pointed it directly upon himself. This time Johnson is relying on popular social networking site Twitter to provide the spotlight.

In an interview with KGOW in Houston, Johnson said, “…when the season starts, it’s going to get even worse. I’m going to really make it fun. I’m using Twitter during games, during halftime, after the games. I’m going to be taking it to the next level.” I cannot say anything bad about Twitter. I update mine several times everyday especially about sports related topics, but if I were to pull out my cell phone constantly while I was at work and update it, I’m pretty sure the people I work for would be pretty disgusted. And I don’t have a high-profile job that earns me millions of dollars in an industry that usually keeps its behind the scenes doors closed to the public.

This of course isn’t the first high profile athlete tweeting during games. Several NBA players have been reprimanded for sending out tweets during halftime of games, but none of them have done it in the middle of a game (at least to my knowledge). Leave it to Johnson to break the mold though.

If I were a Bengals fan I would be absolutely disgusted by this. Sure it might be fun to be given an all access pass of sorts to the Cincinnati sidelines, but wouldn’t you want your team’s most dangerous offensive weapon looking over formation photos and talking with coaches rather than running for the bench to see who @ replied him?

As a fantasy owner, Johnson was nothing short of disappointing last year. Granted, he was without his star quarterback in Carson Palmer for all but four games of the 2008 season, but it’s in times like that that the number one receiver needs to step up and help out the new gunslinger. I can honestly say that if I drafted him for my fantasy team, I would not be very happy with this latest development. Johnson will surely see more attention now that longtime teammate TJ Houshmandzadeh is in Seattle. He needs to be focusing on the game of football and doing everything he can to help his team more than ever.

I don’t think that this latest outrageous comment by Johnson will go over well with head coach Marvin Lewis nor do I think Johnson will get away with tweeting during games in the regular season. However, his sheer desire to distract himself while playing in regular season games makes me question his devotion to the sport that has made him a very rich man. I find it unacceptable that he wants to do anything else but focus on football during the three hours he’s paid to be on the field.
