Boy did I botch it up this week. The cutoff for prizes was 292 points, I scored 289, my best week yet. Here’s the part that kills me. I have pretty much used up most of the usual suspects for tag players at this point in the season (Manning, CPepper, Priest, etc) and I didn’t feel really strongly about any of the players I had on the roster this week. It came down to Drew Bennett or Julius Jones. I picked JJ, considering he had what I believed to be a very favorable matchup with New Orleans. Here’s how it worked out, Julius Jones scored 19 points, with the 2x tag on him I got 38. Drew Bennett scored 53!!, If I had tagged him I would have gotten 106!!! Let’s do the math, 289 minus 19 = 270, now add 53 and I get 323, which would have tied me for first place!!! Crap, that’s about as close as I’m going to get I think. Please excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall……..
