Dedication. Devotion. Turning all the night time into the day. You hear that sweet little synth riff yet? No? How about the jangly blues guitar faintly being played underneath it…no? Hrm, what can I say, I tried. I’m guessing none of you will get the song which is fine. Not the finest work by those guys but the first person who can give me the name of the song and the band wins…well nothing. You googled it, cheater! Well, it’s a major bye week full of bad matchups for RBs and great matchups for WRs. So good, in fact, a guy that might not even be owned in your league in Jarrett Boykin could return a WR1 value on the week. I follow him up with Terrance Williams playing against a Detroit secondary that loves to give the secondary WR in any offense a good day. I think Greg Jennings has a ‘see what you guys are missing?’ day against his former team mates as the Vikings lose 47-10 but he had a great day so that’s all that matters, right? In other news, I haven’t given up on Andre Ellington. Hopefully Arians hasn’t either…especially without some kind of explanation. Maybe he’ll figure out throwing to the running back on screens will relieve the pressure on a beleaguered o-line and give Palmer some breathing room for those deep pass plays. I know, I know: crazy talk. It’s gonna be a weird week in ATL until we know more about their RB situation. Yahoo’s already annointing SJax the starter via their projections but he just started practicing on Wednesday…yeah, ok. That would be pretty weird for a guy who supposedly had a setback just a week ago. Well, whatever, I’m keeping my expectations on all of them low for now until I hear more news and strongly suggest the same for you. Nice possible cheap ‘this game is a blow out, here come the reserves’ RBs to throw at you would be Turbin and Hunter. Oh, and check down master Jason Campbell mutes Gordon a bit this week and increases the likelihood that the Ogre – Ogbonnaya – gets a lot of worthless checkdowns, making him flex-worthy in my book. And as always, my kickers were selected by a highly scientific process of trying to burp all the state names. Hrm…that’s not really scientific…nor does it really do anything. Yeah, they’re still kickers. But enough of that, on with the show. Here’s week 8’s rankings for 2013 Fantasy Football…
