My apologies for missing Week 7. I was on my honeymoon and also had problems getting this blog set up. Hopefully, all is well and we can proceed. What a week it was for running backs. Chris Johnson was tremendous for the Titans, Ryan Moats was sensational for the Texans, Michael Turner was an absolute stud for [...]

Fantasy Week 6

I’ve scored 71 points both weeks, so I need some scoring punch. I tried to pick up Giants receiver Mario Manningham, but an owner [...]
