From There to Here

My fantasy football team, now named Mike Rowe Katsaks, had a pretty good Week 6.

I didn’t write about them last week because 1) I ran out of time and 2) I’m a sore loser. I finally got bested, losing with Romo’s 5-pick, 1-fumble effort on Monday night. Win by the Romo, die by the Romo, I guess.

But this week, even with another subpar effort from Tony (against my beloved now 6-0 Patriots), I still destroyed my opponent, former FreePer Kevin Schietrum, who was really done in by bye weeks and injuries that he didn’t sub out. I ended up winning 121-28, with the victory at least getting me a lot of fantasy points toward tie breakers. Missed the top score in the league by only 1, with good buddy Kurt posting a 122 so far.

Sure, it could change by Monday Night, but I’ll still whoop Schiety. This puts me 5-1 going into week 7, when the person I’m playing has LT and Phillip Rivers both on bye weeks. His other option as RB puts in Marshawn Lynch, which isn’t horrible, but you still lose LT. This week he started Rivers and Kelly Holcomb, who hasn’t played in a few weeks, at QB. Next week, with Rivers on a bye, he has to play two of the following QBs: Holcomb (who won’t start again), Dilfer (11 fantasy points all year) or Brady Quinn (hasn’t played a game so far). The only player I lose on a bye next week is WR Greg Jennings, but I’ll replace him with a hopefully healthy Hines Ward.

With basically a two-QB advantage (I’ll take Romo and then possibly Brees over Schaub, but that’s the only change), I should be golden.

Thanks to Welker (24 points), Tony Gonzalez (22 points), Larry Johnson (17 points) and Edge and Romo (14 points each) for the overkill. I had the week locked up after the Chiefs victory, then it was the all important points toward tie breakers.
