Michael Pemulis (0-2) vs. The Leadfarmers (2-0)
Cincinnati's D is atrocious, meaning that the Eli-Plax combination is likely to go nuclear this weekend. And I'm a lot more worried about Dallas shutting down a hobbled Ryan Grant than I am about Green Bay shutting down Marion Barber.

CH Croakies (1-1) vs. Chestpubes & Ballfro (2-0)
Interesting that both Adrian Peterson and LaDainian Tomlinson, the top-ranked players in fantasy, are both questionable this week. Unfortunately for E, Peterson's game is at 1 on Sunday, whereas Tomlinson's is Monday night, giving him some extra recovery time. Also, Elliott's starting Isaac Bruce. Gross.

Hamster Now Guinea Pig (1-1) vs. Mephistopheles (0-2)
Cutler-Marshall = fantasy dynamite. Laurence Maroney = fantasy kryptonite. Crystallized iron in the rhombohedral system = fantasy hematite.

Wyld Stallyns (1-1) vs. Woody's Warriors (0-2)
Aaron Rodgers has made me a believer, and while I don't believe much in Julius Jones, he is playing the Rams, who are god awful. I don't think anyone can stop Brian Westbrook, but the Steelers probably have as good a shot as anyone at containing him. So logic leads me to pick DeYoung. But here's what I know: DeYoung's team always sucks, and Woody's team always does well. So...

Sovic is 2 Girls 1 Cup (2-0) vs. Matt Ryan Loves Dogs (1-1)
My dad (and presumably Michael Toobin) always has to look up the team names to find out what they're references to, so I'm both tickled and horrified to imagine him checking out Papkin's new moniker. I'm also horrified by the gaping hole at his RB2 position, and tickled to see him lose his first game (despite what I said in the Week 2 review).

Burke City Giants (1-1) vs. Tri Steeg Area (1-1)
If you read my BIFL Week 1 review, you know how I feel about Michael Turner. And even though he didn't do much last week, I suspect a return to dominance this week against a lousy Chiefs team. That said, I think this'll be the closest match of the week.

Good luck to all, except for Derek, who can die a thousand bloody deaths for all I care. Here's a hot lady:
and here's a weird animal:
Last week: 2-4 (yikes)
Overall: 6-6

quality...
thought for next year....
change waiver wire to a continual rolling rather than readjust each week. I dont think your standings should have anything to do with picking up a player or not...
just a thought
in one of my other leagues we're using a bidding system, where each team has a $100 budget to spend on free agents for the season, and each week is like a silent auction for the available players. it's worked pretty well so far. not sure if yahoo has functionality for it, but i think we could make it work. i agree that reverse-standings is not great, but i think it's better than simply a rolling priority.
well since we are uncomplicating the keeper system next year, we might as well complicate the waiver wire....but it sounds interesting none the less...
i know the yahoo plus has a owner fee page, where it shows what owners owe to the league..we could set it at 100 and just subtract each week...
