“Extra Point” takes a look at the league that the writers of drinkfive.com have upheld since the website’s inception. I will provide you with a situational glimpse into my team each week. You can take a more in-depth look at our league here: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/135498/7
Extra Point: Colonel Forbin (1-2)
Chalk one up for the win column! What’s that I smell? I smell home cooking, it’s only the river. Apologizes for my tardiness this week, as I have just gotten back from a beautiful visit to sweet home Chicago. Now that my pizza levels are at maximum I may survive the winter in southwest Florida.
Hopefully Vincent Jackson’s keister was on your bench last week. Don’t let his first touchdown of the season fool you; he was an anemic 2-15-1. He should remain benched until proven otherwise. The injury to Josh McCown may be a blessing in disguise as Mike Glennon will return under center. VJax and Glennon were able to put up borderline WR1 performances on a few given weeks last year, and a much more consistent floor. But if any sort of rhythm develops it will be short lived, because Lovie Smith always goes back to his starters, ALWAYS, even if it means he’s going to lose the Superbowl. (clears throat)
Speaking of quarterback changes, the greatest thing since sliced bread (and the season premiere of South Park) has happened to the Washington Redskins. THE KIRK COUSINS ERA HAS BEGUN. Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson owners rejoice! Captain Kirk is a stud and his incredible accuracy and pocket awareness makes this a playoff contending team. Garcon is going to end up looking like a steal this year with an ADP of #43 and DeSean with an ADP of #54. Both of these guys would have gone an entire round earlier if Cousins were the QB from the start.
Here is the Colonel’s victorious Week 4 lineup:
Drew Brees NO – QB
Julian Edelman NE – WR
DeSean Jackson Was – WR
Michael Crabtree SF – WR
Le'Veon Bell Pit – RB
Matt Forte Chi – RB
Travis Kelce KC – TE
Phil Dawson SF – K
San Diego SD – DEF
Vincent Jackson TB – WR
Dwayne Bowe KC – WR
Ben Roethlisberger Pit – QB
Terrance West Cle - RB
Mohamed Sanu Cin - WR
Knile Davis KC – RB
