November Fantasy Players

At Quarterback this month, we're going to see another battle between age (Jeff Garcia - 95.4 passer rating and 221 yards per game) and youth (Derek Anderson - 95.5 passer rating and 249 yards per game). At Running Back, we find the league's top two backs -- Adrian Peterson with 105.7 yards per game, and Willie Parker with 103.7 yards per contest. And at Wide Receiver, we'll test two old standbys, Larry Fitzgerald with 92 yards per game, and Reggie Wayne with 95 per outing.

Stay Alive refreshes for November

You are free to pick any team in the league (that plays on Sunday, November 4th) for the Stay Alive portion of the pool.

Confusion cleared up

The following e-mail message came in from the hilarious Steve McDonald:

 Not only is New Orleans not going anyplace; they are not even playing
 this week. This is not a good omen for those of us who may have picked
 Drew Brees as a fantasy pick for the 1st 4 weeks, and are securely
 esconced on the bottom (17th I am, I am) in the fantasy picks scoring.
 Unless there is something I missed in the rules set down by 
 the Commish, that means my guy sits (0) while Peyton--300+ yards 
 per game--Manning plays. I  would accuse you of deception and
 trickeration, but it appears that you picked DB(like Coooper he 
 disappears without a trace)rees, too. I guess that will teach me 
 never again to blindly trust others(lawyers are notorious for that).

However, I assure that nobody's been "trickerated". The rules clearly state: If any of the teams on which these players are rostered have a bye in the schedule, the average of their 3 other games' yardage will be normalized into that blank 4th game.

No harm, no foul.

Payment

All payments have been received. Thank you! The total in our payout fund is $675.
