Mid Year Update

A big win last night has propelled me to a 4-3 record and tied for 3rd record wise, but 5th out of 10 teams in the league points wise. The last couple of weeks I've made some key moves to secure wins. Two weeks ago I made a ballsy start of Chad Pennington having to drop Trent Edwards after a concussion. Pennington came through with 21 points. Then this week I put all my chips in on New England dismantling the terrible Denver Broncos DEF by dropping Pennington for Cassel to complement Randy Moss and also picked up Sammy Morris after Laurence Maroney hit the IR. I went into the Monday night game down 41 points but I had 4 players playing in the game Matt Cassel QB, Randy Moss WR, Sammy Morris RB, and Brandon Marshall WR. So I certainly felt good about my chances. My team put up an astounding 69 points including a combined 5 touchdowns between my Patriots players.

I certainly think that Cassel's success was largely due to the fact that DEN's DEF is very weak and with that being said I dropped Cassel in favor of Edwards who had a strong comeback week off a concussion two weeks ago and buy week after that. Edwards won't ever really give me huge weeks but he won't ever give me bad weeks either I think he is good for 14 a week, something I'll certainly take considering I traded away my top tier QB Ben Roethlisberger in favor of a couple of WRs Braylon Edwards and Randy Moss.

The upcoming week should be interesting as I play Pat's Creeping Bentgrass. We both have a lot of players on bye I have my two best WRs on bye Marshall and Jennings and he has his 2nd and 3rd best RBs on bye in addition to QB issues as Romo might not play or at the very best will play with an injury and then his 2nd QB Orton is on bye and his 3rd QB Brad Johnson stinks anymore. So I certainly like my chances in the coming week. So we'll see...
