Be Very Scared October 30, 2009

It can be this way on Halloween even for fantasy footballers.
Take the case of Matt Forte, the running back for the Chicago Bears.  We have him on Uncle Rico’s Team in the Western Mass. Conference.  Just look at his numbers over the course of the season:
GAME             CARRIES     YARDS      TD        REC      YARDS        TD
1                       25                   55                0             0             0                 [...]

Cribbs is a some time [...]

Cause for Alarm? October 1, 2009

Don’t get the wrong idea. Things are going pretty well. My one team named Skills is 3-0, and the other one, Uncle Rico’s Team is 1-2. But there are some players… that by this point in the season, I’m starting to worry about….
