As you may remember, last week we took the training wheels and sent Jamey out into the world. Unfortunately, it seems he's returned more bloodied and beaten than before. Perhaps we were a little hasty in our hopes he could function on his own.
So, in light of recent events, I'm putting the training wheels back on and sending him out to do a few laps in the court before we hit the big bad streets again. In fact, Jamey may have regressed so far that a tricycle may be better suited or we could just teach him how to walk. Have a lollipop Jamey, we'll have you walking in no time (maybe).
Overall Grade: D+ (1.7)
Start 'Em Up
Ah, back to the familiar format. Thank the lord Jesus Christ in heaven. Nothing feels quite as comfy as familiarity, except maybe making the right picks in fantasy football. Jamey's never had the feeling but the following, though few, were twinges in the right direction.
I'm not sure if it was a product of the week or an act of God, but Jamey actually picked the QB's to sit at a competent level. Weird, I know. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the injures to the QB position before and during the course of the games last weekend. That couldn't have anything to do with why Marc Bulger didn't have a great game, right?
Come on, give me a break. When a guy gets a D+ score it's tough to find something positive. Moving on.
Sit 'Em Down
Where to begin? Well, at least the rule we established a couple of weeks ago still holds true. Anyone Jamey says to start, don't! Plain and simple.
Only one of his suggested six wide receivers topped seven points. And that was with a whopping 9 points. Awesome, right? Particularly heinous was the idea that Patrick Crayton should have been sat in week 4. Not that anyone had really thought to use him at that point, but to pull that name out of the hat, a seemingly innocent and fairly as of yet irrelevant name, and then be this incredibly wrong with it, now that takes talent. Jamey must have stuck his thumb up God's ass or something. I don't even want to know.
Four of his six starting running back suggestions flopped. He went 50% on the wide out sit' em and the tight end start 'em. His start of the week was Thomas Jones. His sit of the week was Jamal Lewis. Did you really need to be told that? The Raven's D isn't the D of old but they're still top 10 in rush defense. I'm stopping now and claiming the mercy rule.
