Review: Week 8 - Sit on My Face

Well, it looks like Jamey's cream is finally rising to the top. Wait. That sounded really gay. Let me start over.

Jamey's has really been coming up lately, making the hard plays and going deep. Shit!

As it turns out, there's no easy way to say this, so like you might do with a band aid maybe we should do this quick. It might hurt for a second but it's better than prolonged suffering. I'm official recommending that you listen to Jamey in regards to fantasy football advice for the foreseeable future. However, if he tells you it's a good idea to take your clothes off and join him in the bedroom, feel free to disregard that suggestion.

The numbers don't lie, Jamey has been on fire. For week 8 he picked at a 63% success rate overall and if you don't take tight ends into account (by far his worst category of the past week) he nailed 28 out of 38 picks. That's 74% right. Pretty impressive - as much as I don't like to admit it. Plus, the past two weeks he was over 3.0 in a tough scoring system and now he's following that up with a 2.8. Who the hell is this guy and what have they done with Jamey? If there's one thing all good fantasy players know, it's to ride the hot hand. Jamey is hot, let's see where it goes. If he takes us to a dark gooey place, I'm going to be so fucking pissed.

Overall Scores:

Jamey: 2.8
Ron: 2.6
Brad: 1.8

Jamey-palooza:

Just because you have a couple good weeks doesn't mean there won't be some embarrassing picks strewn in with all the good ones. As I alluded to early, this was not the week for Jamey when it came to picking Tight Ends. In fact, every one of his start 'em picks - Heath Miller, Jeremy Shockey, Kyle Brady and Donald Lee - shit the bed. If he had switched the start 'em for the sit 'em, he would have done much better. We've seen the whole signals crossed thing from these guys before so let's move on.

Jamey's worst pick of the week would have to be starting Laveranues Coles. For most owners I know, 1 point off 13 receiving yards against the leagues worst passing defense isn't going to get it done. I have to admit, I started him too. It had nothing to do with Jamey saying so but I still lost miserably that week.

Ron's World:

Just for reference, Ron started Mr. Coles as well, subsequently receiving an "F" from me for the pick. But at least Jamey and myself weren't alone.

Expounding on the wide receiver thing, week 8 Ron decided, mostly on the prompting of an elf named Steve, that sitting Marques Colston would be a good idea. Those of us with Steve experience know to ignore him when he make these kind of asinine suggestions. Ron, apparently not well acquainted with Steve, ended up sitting the highest scoring wide receiver of the week. When you're only picking four guys to sit out of the hundreds of WR's that play each week, it has to be difficult to pick the one that is going to do the best that week. He deserves some kind of prize don't you think? Something like a swift kick to the balls.

Brad Mania!:

Brad, the lovable loser we all knew from high school, continued to dig an even deeper hole this week. Between starting Vincent Jackson, who didn't record a stat, and Amaz Battle, who got a whopping two points, it was a rough week.

I mean, Brad provided me with so much material it's almost not fair. Sitting Brett Favre and Joseph Addai. The same Joseph Addai who lead all running backs in fantasy scoring for the week. The poor guys in a serious rut. If this keeps up I'm downgrading him from "guru" to "the guy Yahoo! pays to make bad picks". Trust me, it's not a distinction you want to have, unless they are a couple zero's behind a number accompanying his pay check. If that's the case, sign me up.
