I did the unthinkable: I started Eli Manning over Peyton. Eli had a better game last week. His PPG was nearly equal Peyton's. His matchup was better. And I had no reason to believe the Giants offense wouldn't keep rolling. And when my opponent's Thursday Night players, Cordarrelle Patterson and Jordy Nelson combined for only 15 points, I really thought I had a lock...
Player of the Week :
But Team THUNDER just sort of fell flat.
I'll go ahead and drop Eli so I don't make this same mistake twice.

The good news is I'm still in first place at 3 - 2.
Despite my off-week, I still feel very deep and at worst an 8 - 5 team when it's all done. With players like Tate, Cameron, Ingram, and Marvin Jones all coming back from injuries the next few weeks I feel it's time to go ahead and make my last waiver moves -- and I probably only have 1 - 2 big ones left. I'm due for a good play this week...
