So you guys might have thought I started slacking again by not posting a MOTW last week but that's not true! There actually were no good matchups last week and recently, they blocked blogspot at work so I didn't get a chance to write during my work hours. There actually seems to be no good MOTWs again this week with only 2 people in the top 6 facing off this week. So instead of a MOTW, I'll post what I was going to do last week.
Re-Do Draft:
Rules:
1. Every team has to have had a chance at the player. Therefore, players like McCoy, Charles, are ineligible.
2. They have to be drafted in a reasonable position. Nobody was going to draft Manning in the first round or Philip Rivers in the top 10 rounds.
3. I think those are all the rules but I thought just 2 rules would look kind of lame.
Re-Do Draft Results by Round:
1. Forte - The 7th best RB who isn't injured this year, Forte has come alive in the new Bears offense under Trestman. He's being utilized more and with Marshall, Jeffrey, and Bennetts stretching the field, he's had more room to operate.
2. Manning - He's outscored the next best QB by almost 9 points a game. That's a TD + 75 yards. That's unbelieveable. He's almost doubling the score of the 12th best QB (which should technically be a startable QB as there are 12 teams in the league). That's unreal. Manning is my hero.
3. Murray - Now this was done before he got injured but his injury shouldn't last long anyways. He's been a top 12 option and he's doing it without finding the end zone too often. If he can parlay all that running into some scores, he could finish as a top 10 back.
4. Welker - Oh how people doubted that 2 white receivers could succeed on one team. Welker has gone to Denver and become Manning's security blanket on the underneath routes. Of course, Manning's security blanket = catch copious amounts of TDs as well.
5. D. Jackson - Why don't we ever believe in this man? He always seem to drop in the draft even though he's established himself as one of the best receivers in the league. Outside of Justin Blackmons' ridiculous 2 game stretch, Jackson has literally been the best receiver in the league.
6. J. Gordon - A Browns player??? Yes, a Browns player. After his 2 game suspension, he tore up the league. Although he no longer has a competent Hoyer to throw him passes, his talent alone should be able to keep him as a WR1. Besides, Weeden has to be better than what the next guy has as QB options...
7. Blackmon - How do you average 19 points a game with Henne and Gabbert as your QB? Imagine if he had a competent QB. He might be on pace for 30 PPG.
8. Cameron - Another Browns player??? Cameron's been a top 5 TE and although his stock might drop with Weeden, he's been on a mission to prove my draft day analysis wrong.
9. D. Moore - A talented player in a terrible situation doesn't mean he's destined to fail. He's been Pryor's go-to guy and he's been able to find the end zone pretty regularly.
10. F. Jackson - Spiller in the first round or Jackson 9 rounds later? Jackson has not only usurped Spiller's fantasy value, he's been a RB1 for the first 6 weeks!
11. Rivers - Rivers and his scowl were passed over by everyone in the league for their QB1 spot AND by most teams for their QB2 spot as well. Rivers and his scowl are not pleased that everyone threw away a chance at a top 3 QB.
2. Manning - He's outscored the next best QB by almost 9 points a game. That's a TD + 75 yards. That's unbelieveable. He's almost doubling the score of the 12th best QB (which should technically be a startable QB as there are 12 teams in the league). That's unreal. Manning is my hero.

12. Moreno - Sure, his numbers are inflated by a 3 TD game last week. But even without those TDs, he's been racking up garbage yards as the Broncos blow out teams. He also seems to be the back Manning trusts the most and so he's on the field for the majority of their snaps.
13. Prater - Extra points galore! All those TDs make for easy points and the thin Denver air + Prater's monster leg means anything within 60 yards is makeable.
14. J. Thomas - The 2nd best TE in the league wasn't on anybody's radar coming into the draft (don't lie). He's been unstoppable as part of the Denver offense and there's no reason to believe he'll be slowing down.
15. KC - They've averaged more points per game than any RB. They've averaged more points per game than any WR or TE. Enough said.
Anyways, week 7 might be the point of no return for a number of teams.
So good luck to all!
