Biggest Kahunas
Shawn Bennett bought into what Ochocinco was selling. He promised a big game and he delivered. Bennett opted to trust his stud wideout and keep a tempting Steve Smith-versus-the Rams on the sidelines. Oh, and did it pay off handsomely or what. Seven points for the Ocho; one for Smith. While it’s not the biggest, boldest move in history by any stretch of the imagination, it’s deserving of recognition.
Sleeping on the Couch
Where were you when Kenny Britt torched the Eagles for 15 points? Oh, you weren’t there because you opted to start Jabar Gaffney instead? Gotcha. Should have seen that one coming. Well, while you let Jabar do his thang, Britt made defensive backs look like junior varsity players.
You did what? Don’t try it again!
Benching the NFL’s leading rusher? Yeah, that seems to be a smart move. I mean, anytime you have the opportunity to start the epitome of inconsistency at both running back positions, I’m going for it 100 percent of the time. Forget that I have this year’s breakout rusher Ahmad Bradshaw in a matchup against Dallas’ nonexistent defense; I’d prefer Cedric Benson versus the Falcons any day. Don’t let this happen again – ride your players while they’re hot, Wonka.
Trick or Treat?
Trick or Treat is telling you if this is the kind of player you want in your lineup each and every week. In spirit of the holiday, Temecula, I wanted to tell you you’re being tricked by Danny Woodhead. He is an excellent role player on a football team; he’s not even worth stashing on your bench in fantasy. Consider this: The Law Firm has a strong hold on the leading running back job in New England, but regardless, it is never smart to rely on the Hoodie.
