WEEK 3 RESULTS

I just couldn't start Terrance West.  The Browns running back/handcuff situation seems to be on the verge of disaster.  With Crowell playing so well, he'll be cutting into both West's and Tate's carries. When Tate returns, how much value will he or West really have?



Feeling this was a must-win game, otherwise risking going 1 - 3 with an eminent Week 4 loss, I felt a tiny bit nervous about this one.  Team THUNDER was a clear favorite, but I'm always nervous when my opponent has Monday Night players when I don't.

I was looking for a 40-point lead.  It didn't appear I'd get there prior to the 4th quarter of the of the Broncos - Seahawks game.  Manning only had 5 points but lead a furious comeback and tie the game. Alshon Jeffery and Chris Johnson couldn't make up the difference on Monday night.



Victor Cruz rose from the dead!  With all my injuries and byes in Week Four, he may be due for a start.  Considering the circumstances, I have to be happy with my winning record!

I'm conceding a Week 4 loss -- I really am.  It looks like an absolute train wreck!  My only available running back?  Frank Gore.  Seriously.  I can certainly upgrade E.J. Manuel at no cost. I also see a good defensive matchup that might be worth a couple points.  But I really see no way to win unless I spend a few bucks picking up the new running back, Lorenzo Taliaferro and he has a monster game.

And there's the dilemma.  Is it worth it to spend $30-40 on a low-percentage play to produce one win?  Who would I give up?
