Another week is in the books and the numbers are setting like that dirty picture you took of your wife with the Polaroid. Shake it, Shake it! and we’ll see what we have, oh, it’s a bunch of defensive stats! I thought we were going to get some Bernard Berrian Twitter action! Please, blog, may I have some more?

The trade deadline isn’t that far away! We should all be throwing out trades right now like nobody’s business, gearing up our teams for a run at the playoffs or more. There are a lot of great trade targets, particularly at receiver sitting out there. Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Zorn Identity

The much maligned Jim Zorn will become a figure head-coach after GM Vinny Cerrato and him had a little talk and “stripped him” of his play calling duties. I wonder if he broke his playbook in two and gave him a wet willy? Please, blog, may I have some more?
Sunday’s finally here! To start things off we have our “Matchup Savers,” players that you can start today if you’re in a pinch due to the bye week, injuries, etc.
Week 6 Matchup Savers
Quarterback:
Jason Campbell- It’s his turn to face the hapless Chiefs. Please, blog, may I have some more?

The title is a product of a long day and a lack of sleep. Here are some more hallucinogenic thoughts:
Wes Welker: He isn’t on the injury report this week so he’ll probably break something while searching the internet for balloon-boy parodies. Please, blog, may I have some more?
The Awesomist Ground Game Preview on the Interwebs

Here it is Ladies and Gents, the Ground Game Preview for Week 6. One thing I would like to reinforce about our “rating system,” which I have blatantly stolen from Mark, is that when we upgrade or downgrade a player we’re always doing so within the context of their value. Please, blog, may I have some more?
So you have a quarterback, right? I’m going to go out on a limb and say you do. It is time to start looking into our statistical crystal ball and see what our QB’s matchups look like for the rest of the year. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Alas, Poor Sore Nick (They Threw It Well)

Already reeling from injuries to Vincent Fuller and Cortland Finnegan, the Titans secondary took another hit on Sunday night when cornerback Nick Harper was knocked out of the game with a broken arm. While it’s unlikely that they can get much worse (being second to last in passing yards given up per game), this will slow down any future improvement by the unit. Please, blog, may I have some more?
I’ve compiled some statistics here that I think might be useful for this week. The first chart looks at passing defenses for week 6 while the second at rushing defenses. Trying to decide what statistics work best for fantasy football has always been a difficult decision for me. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Let’s remind ourselves of the formula:
Sleeper Rating = Amount of Talent (Individual + Team Support) + Opportunity
I have to give a quick shout out to the Valedictorian of Sleeper Math, Ahmad Bradshaw. It’s sad to see him move on after being listed in here every single week. Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ray Rice got 143 total yards and 1 touchdown on 21 touches to Willis McGahee’s 2 touches and 2 total yards. I’ve been shouting his praises from my porch for a while now and my neighbors have left all kinds of notes on my car about McGahee and how many touchdowns he has, and unveiled threats of dismemberment, but Rice is the main man now! Please, blog, may I have some more?
We have a new addition to “Game Day Companion” that should help your team out some weeks. I have been talking about Bye weeks a lot lately. There are times when you have multiple players out and you have to start players you normally would not consider. Please, blog, may I have some more?
