Holy shit! Let the bells ring from the mountain tops! Strike up the band and let's give Brad a true fantasy football world welcome. What's the cause for such celebration you ask? Brad has amazing went two weeks in a row over .500. It is possibly the greatest accomplishment in the history of mankind. Seriously, I thought it impossible.
Overall Grade: C+ (2.3)
He's on Fire
As you may have guessed from the intro, Brad did well in week 5. Although, I have a feeling some of his suggestion were nothing more than flat out guesses. But success is success, whether luck is involved or not. Really, fantasy football is half luck anyway so I wont penalize him.
I handed out a couple A's this week. Most notably for a start of Brandon Jacobs. I was totally against his pick when I first saw, mainly because I had Derrick Ward on a couple teams and I wanted him to do well instead of Jacobs. Luckily, they both had productive days, with Brandon getting the better and looking impressive in doing it. Brad also sat Chad Pennington even though, on paper, Chad had a good matchup against the porous Giants defense. Of course, the Giants can get pressure on any quarterback, which may have turned you off and why Brad only got a A- and not a solid A. Still, if the diminutive weak-armed lob tosser could have got the ball out of his hand, he should have done well. Seems that wasn't in the cards.
The Definition of Lame
Even on a good week, you should have come to expect some truly dimwitted calls on the part of Brad. This week was no different, though he did manage to avoid the omnipresent F which in and of itself is an accomplishment.
Brad's shocker special of the week, starting Donald Lee of the Packers, ended up as nothing more than a brief spark. I don't think those two fantasy points helped anybody - unless you were down by one and Donald got you the win.
Main gurus, including Brad, have suggested sitting Dwayne Bowe. To them, I have one thing to say, Get on the train before it leaves your ass behind. Seriously, this guy puts up numbers no matter who or how bad the quarterback is. The Chiefs have to throw the ball every once in a while and when they do, there are only two targets on the field, Tony and Dwayne. That's a 50% chance of getting the ball. Not too shabby for the rook. Even with last week's 7 point performance, at least he's dependable and there's always the chance of a touchdown. What it all boils down to is, he should be considered a weekly start in any league and you could do a lot worse. If, by some strange occurrence, he's on the waiver wire, for the love of God pick him up. But enough with gay Dwayne Bowe man love.
The Breakdown
Good Calls: 7
Bad Calls: 4
I wonder if Brad is still getting all the hatemail? I forgot to check this week.
