How did we do in Week 9? Look at all leagues and results.
Recap: Lost in 8 of my 10 leagues (52-37-1 for the year though). But the two I won were my two most important money leagues. Won in the Fantasy Football Players Championship Main Event to go to 7-2 and stay in first place in the Joe Montana League. And won in my local league to keep the trash talking going as I remained #1 there as well. So if I had to pick only two leagues to win-those would be the ones. The FFPC $125 satellite League is a 13 week Total Points league where 6 of the 12 advance to the playoffs. So I am not too concerned about missing those playoffs. The top 2 teams get a bye in week 14 and that is all I need. NOTE currently at 2nd just shy of first place.

Why the Houston Texans will always lose to the Colts
Lack of thinking ahead.
2:09 left in the frsthalf of their week 9 matchup.
Ryan Moats rushes left and as he is tackled fumbles on the 2 yard line as he goes out of bounds.
The ball lands in the field of play and a Colt player recovers it but the ref rules otherwise.
Moats walks back to the huddle as if nothing happened and lets the Texans just run the clock down to the 2-minute warning without running another play.
This allows IND to review the play and ask for a coaches challenge which is upheld giving IND and Peyton Manning the ball with 2 minutes to go to the half. Denying HOU a chance at a TD.
A) Moats should have told the team to quickly run another play so no review could occur. He DID NOT THINK AHEAD.

Week 9 Updates
Ryam Moats will start for Hou but expect Slaton to get half of the carries off the bench
Kolby Smith activated by KC but look for J Charles and D Savage to have most of the carries today
Who is out?
L Moore is out so look for D Henderson to half more action as will R Meachem
J Finley is out at TE for GB again so the other guy Havner ? get his chances at TDs again
Kevin Curtis is out-big surprise so Maclin and Celek get upward ticks
M Muhammed-CAR-WR so Dwayne Jarrett aw heck who is kidding who nobody gets an upgrade cause Jake Delhomme is struggling
Game Time Decisions
A Boldin-I expect him to play
A Bryant-?
Questionable
Brian Westbrook- I expect him to play cause he made Wed and Th practices, but he took Friday off. Maybe just to rest
J Stewart-?
T Heap- he is back to his old self Todd "Questionable" Heap-he'll play
R White- he will play
Kevin Smith-he will play
Devin Hester-yes
Pierre Garcon-He better play
Watch closer
A Rodgers DNP Thurs
L McCoy reportedly had the flu on Wed.
D Driver missed some practice time

Fantasy Football Index Magazine "Ask the Expert" Question for the week: Who gets your vote for Fantasy MVP so far?
Either Peyton Manning or Drew Brees. Both have led their teams to an undefeated 7-0 start. I give the nod to Peyton because even though Brees has scored more fantasy points (172 to 169), Manning has been more consistent. Peyton has roughly a 23-point FP average with a low of 17 and high of 33. Brees on the other hand has two ten point games and a 40-point game; too much feast or famine for my taste. Winner so far: Peyton Manning and his 2227 yards, 15 TDs and 4 INTs. Honorable mention goes to Brett Favre and his league leading 16 TDs to three INTs while leading Minnesota to a 6-1 record.

FFGuidebook.com back in the Top 10 Overall at the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC)
Thanks to a strong showing from Tim Hightower, Steven Jackson and Chris Johnson, FFGuidebook.com climbed back into the Top 10 Overall (Out of 228 teams) at the Fantasy Football Players Championship (theFFPC.com).
The three RBs scored 85 points to propel FFGuidebook.com to a 167 point Week 8 finish.
From the FFPC results page:
FFPC Week 8 Results
Props to Brett Favre for playing like a champion even at the ago of 40. Love him or hate him, he is one heck of a football player.
His baby must be sleeping through the night as Russ Steele managed to get his team back to the top of the FFPC Main Event Leaderboard in a fairly low scoring fantasy week. Russ holds a less than 3 point advantage over our top scoring team for the week, RFL’ers, owned by Mike Grimm and Jack Guydish. Mike and Jack are getting a little cocky, and figured they could dominate the entire field with just 9 players this week. Way to go, guys! Nimrods checks in at 3rd, and Manny DeJesus and Weston Pleinis are near the top at 4th and 5th respectively.
With three weeks to go in the FFPC Main Event regular season, we have some very tight races. There are six teams within 44 points of each in the Gale Sayers league. The Joe Montana league has 9 teams within 2 games of the lead and 6 of them have records of 4 and 4. League after league has some fierce battles going on for the four playoff spots. The bye weeks are winding down, with just four teams on bye this week and two on bye in week ten. Here's our top ten overall:
1 - Leonidas' Revenge - Russ Steele - 1248.8
2 - RFL'ers - Mike Grimm - 1245.9
3 - Nimrods - Kip Lockwood - 1237.8
4 - SHOW ME YOUR TD'S - Manny De Jesus - 1234.6
5 - Westonio United - Weston Pleinis - 1219.8
6 - Rex Kwon Do - Brett Ford - 1201.3
7 - Stallions - Craig Katz - 1196.15
8 - MORE FIERCE! - Jeffrey Schmitz - 1189.3
9 - FFGuidebook.com - Sam Hendricks - 1187.2
10 - Michigan Fanatics - Mark Peraino - 1182.2
