NFL Fantasy Football: Swami or Bonehead?

I got snake bit again, for the second time this season. But it could have been a lot worse. Wound up with a 12-18 Swami-to-Bonehead ratio. Here’s the damage assessment.

Start ‘Em!
QB
Tim Tebow: Oh my Lord,  it was ugly as you’d ever want to see. But, between throwing and running, Tim Terrific added up a pretty darn good point total. 22 points. Swami!

Matt Cassel: Can you say, “de-evolution”? 2 points. Bonehead!

Josh Freeman: If he hadn’t thrown 4 freaking INTS, he would have had a decent day. 10 points. Bonehead!

Colt McCoy: Seattle’s D must be better on the road than I thought. They held McCoy to single digits for the first time this season. Bonehead!

RB
Maurice Morris: Sorry, but 6 points just ain’t gonna cut it. Bonehead!

Jackie Battle: I was robbed. He’d have had a great day with a 4.8 yard average on just 16 bcarries but LeRon McClain poached a goal line TD. 7 points. Bonehead!

Earnest Graham: Yikes. Torn Achilles tendon. Out for the year and at his age, maybe for good. One point. Bonehead!

Demarco Murray: I thought he’d do well, but nobody saw that coming. 31 points. Swami!

WR
Johnny Knox: I blame jet-lag. 5 points. Bonehead!

Greg Little: Nope. Premature faith. 3 points. Bonehead!

Eric Decker: Looks like maybe Decker’s prospects left with Kyle Orton’s benching. Maybe with Lloyd gone it’s Demaryius Thomas that’s the #1 WR in Denver. 2 points. Bonehead!

Steve Breaston: I still like him, but Cassel really regressed last week. I’m surprised he got 6 points what whith the sort of QB play he had. Bonehead!

TE
Ed Dickson: Unfortunately for Flacco & Co., Jacksonville made them all into their prison girlfriends. 2 points. Bonehead!

Visanthe Shiancoe: If I said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times. A TE is a QB in trouble’s best friend. 10 points. Swami!

Fred Davis: Look at him, Cooley. Look at him! LOOK, damn you! 14 points. Swami!

Sit ‘Em!
QB
Philip Rivers: Single digits for the second time this season. 7 points. Swami!

Matt Ryan: He just barely made it worthwhile to start him and confound me. Frankly, though it wasn’t without problems, he impressed me being adequately successful in a hostile road environment in Detroit. 14 points. Bonehead!

Cam Newton: Man, the kid just keeps rolling along. 25 points. Bonehead!

Matt Schaub: He really impressed me on the road as well. Damn! Though a lot of the credit has to go to Arian Foster. 19 points. Bonehead!

RB
Montario Hardesty: Honestly, I thought the Seattle run D would play him harder. 11 points. Bonehead!

Maurice Jones-Drew: It looked like he was going to make my prediction look bad but then there were those turnovers for negative points. 8 points. Swami-ish.

Steven Jackson: It was one long 40 yard run that saved his bacon, fantasy-wise. 13 points. Bonehead!

Chris Johnson: I’m certainly glad for Johnson’s sake that he’s getting  paid well. However, I’m pretty sure that nobody in Tennessee other than him is; 3 friggin’ points and 18 yards rushing? That’s pathetic. Swami!

WR
Sidney Rice: Whitehurst ain’t the answer. 3 points. Swami!

Darrius Heyward-Bey:  With the QB change it was inevitable his point totals dropped from a few weeks ago. I think they will go up again, but not right away. After all, he had 11 targets, but he only caught 5 of them. 8 points. Swami-ish.

Reggie Wayne: How the mighty have fallen. 3 points. Swami!

Santana Moss: Broken hand. Ouch. One point. Swami!

TE
Marcedes Lewis: One point. ‘Nuff said. Swami!

Owen Daniels: He didn’t do great but on the generic TE scoring impact scale, he was more than adequate. 7 points. Bonehead!

Jared Cook: He didn’t do great but on the generic TE scoring impact scale, he was even more than adequate, plus one. 8 points. Bonehead!
