Oct 2 Hall returned to practice on Friday after sitting out Thursday because of an infected lower lip.
Advice: Hall is expected to play Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens.

Rhode Island Charge (1-2) d. Toronto Phantoms (1-2)
69-52
First thing’s first: we’re pretty sure the Charge won this time. That being said, “The Charge are hoping for steady Tom Brady to outplay rookie Ben Rothelsberger to take care of things before Monday night.” Which is what actually happened. Rhode Island won here 17-9. I’ll also add that they had the edge in defense with a New York Giants 11. “This matchup doesn't really come to life till Monday night when Priest Holmes of the Charge and Jamal Lewis of the Phantoms settle it.” Rhode Island would’ve won even without Holmes’s 18 on Monday. But things did light up on Toronto’s side, who desperately needed their scores on Monday. This includes their kicker’s 10, Jamal Lewis’s 9, and Ray Lewis’s 6. But with nothing really good on Sunday, The Phantoms fell by the roadside.

Bonecrushers (3-0) d. Koko's X-Cats (2-1)
63-22
The first of this week’s three Ouchie Awards went to the X-Cats. With only their kicker scoring better than 4 points (he had 9), you could see where this one was headed. Everybody had a low score at the exact same time. “…the Bonecrushers could get nice points from Terrell Owens and the Philadelphia Eagles defense.” Both of the aforementioned parties tallied 11 points (that’s a tie already). Byron Leftwich finished the deal with 15.

South Fl Jets (1-2) d. Dunedain (1-2)
67-17
The second of this week’s Ouchie’s goes to Dunedain, who also had it all fall apart. Their QB scored -11. I should probably refrain from anymore comments about Dunedain. So I’ll comment about the Jets, who killed in the running game. Tomlinson and Bettis combined for 25. They also had the Jets defense (no, really, they did) score 23. Nothing could stop South Florida getting their second win in a row.

Cooney Quest (2-1) d. Hurricanes (1-1-1)
33-31
I’ll create a mini-Ouchie Award for this entire game. Four teams this week would’ve beaten these two teams combined. The only actual thing of note this week is covered by Ed already: “Will Eric Moulds break out and come through for the 'Canes?” Yes. He had the high score of this with 12, and the Hurricanes still lost. I suppose we can attribute that to the double byes at RB (though to be fair, the Quest’s RBs had a combined 1). Meanwhile, Cooney’s high score was Vinatieri’s 9. It was, however, enough for them to win. And really, that one in the W column is what matters anyway.

The Shoats (2-0-1) d. This Space for Rent (0-3)
67-30
Believe it or not, this game was closer than it looks (follow me here). The Shoats easily made more mistakes than TSfR. They had three 0’s, including one at a WR spot, and one at QB. What made up for these donuts though was Tiki Barber’s 15, Jason Elam’s 13, and 19 from New England. TSfR had everyone contribute. Unfortunately for them, they had no spectacular players this week. And thusly, they are still winless.

Valleygirls (2-1) d. Coco's Monkeys (3-0)
61-35
It’s a cataclysmic breakdown! How this happened, we will never know. What we do know is that the Monkey’s had a Peyton Manning 13. But then there was a sea of goose eggs and low scores. With the exception of a 0 in the QB position, The Girls played this one to win. They had a 30 throughout the defensive side, and Emmitt Smith added 15. With a dominate conglomerate (hey, that rhymes) of an offense, and a debilitating defense, the Valleygirls cruised to their third straight win.

The Lightning (2-1) vs. Stud Man Clan (1-2)
78-11
Topping of the list of Ouchie’s is the Stud Man Clan. Ed had it correct: “…but the Clan are doing without A WHOLE DEFENSE!!! (and Randy Moss too).” With no career games, we quickly move to The Lightning. Four players would’ve won for them alone. This includes James’s and Andre Johnson’s dual 11s, Rudy Johnson’s 12, and Atlanta’s 20. Simply put, The Lightning had the Clan’s rear ends on a silver platter.

The Borg (0-3) d. Philly Cheesesteaks (2-1)
49-46
This game was actually quite interesting, and I believe I can give another psychic point to Ed. “…the Borg's Marshal Faulk and Brain Westbrook vs. the Cheesesteak's Domanick Davis and Duce Staley could turn up the heat.” It wasn’t exactly heatful (another Eddieism), but it did decide the game. Davis and Staley both put up large circles for Philly. While their K and DEF both put up 14, they couldn’t put up numbers anywhere else. For the Borg, Faulk and Westbrook combined for 15, and their kicker scored 10. Everything else was pretty even, making this possibly the best pound-for-pound matchup of the week. In the end though, The Borg assimilated their first victim of the year.

JC's Juggernauts (1-2) d. Nor Cal Crushers (1-2)
60-36
The underrated Juggernauts looked to right their wrongs (which lately have been in the form of close losses) against the also 1-2 Nor Cal Crushers. The Juggernauts power came from the running game, outscoring the opposition 23-1 in that department. The Crushers only had two 10s with nothing else to brag about. The Juggernauts didn’t have anything truly spectacular either. However, as last year showed us, the teams with players who compliment each other tend to win. And that is exactly what the Juggernauts did.

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (2-2) vs. Dunedain (1-3)
A battle of a couple of turnover prone quarterbacks Aaron Brooks vs. Kerry Collins) and a pair of underacheiving running backs(Ahman Green vs. Clinton Portis). Whoever gets their act togehter will most likely win.

Rhode Island Charge (2-2) vs.Hurricanes (1-2-1)
While the Canes are doing without a back on their roster the Charge basically have no one at all(Holmes is on a bye and Morton barely plays). Not sure if Voleck will play for the canes neither. This could be a rather low scoring affair.

South Fl Jets (2-2) vs. Toronto Phantoms (1-3)
The Phantoms have Jamal Lewis for one more week before he's suspended and will need him as long as Bettis keeps scoring from the 1 and LaDanian Thomlinson keeps being LaDanian Thomlinson. Not to mention Rothelberger going up against Matt Hasselback.

This Space for Rent(0-4) vs.Cooney Quest (3-1)
The Renters might finally have a team they can outdo at the running back (Aaron Stecker and MIA Moe Williams vs.rarely used Ron Dayne and the unused Garrison Hearst. Farve vs. Vick is a showcase event though.

Coco's Monkeys (3-1) vs.The Shoats (3-0-1)
A good matchup marred by the monkey's doing without defensive players and a punt returning running back. It also doesn't help that their starting quarterback feeding the Shoats wide recivers Harrison and Wayne.

The Lightning ( 3-1) vs. Valleygirls (3-1)
The Valleygirls are missing a runningback and I don't know if Emmit Smith can outpreform Edgerrin James anymore. McNair can outdo Bulger though.

The Borg (1-3) vs. Stud Man Clan (1-3)
The Borg have no defense (literally) as they are all on a bye and so is their running back Westbrook. The Clan are just missing one defensive player who they never had in the first place. They do ave Chad Pennington who gets a free shot at the possibly benched Brad Johnson.

JC's Juggernauts (2-2)vs.Philly Cheesesteaks (2-2)
Can the rejuvinated Kurt Warner help the Juggernauts outdo the Cheesesteak's Daunte Culpepper. Curtis Martin and Dashaun Foster may need to take up the slack and hope that the Cheesesteak's Domanic Davis is too hurt to make a difference and the Duce keeps deffering 1 yard TDs to Bettis.

Bonecrushers (4-0) vs. Nor Cal Crushers (1-3)
The Bonecrushers are trying to beat the Crushers with one hand tied behind their back (or more like two players on a bye. Two BIG TIME player in Terrell Ownes and the Philadelphia Eagles defense). Will it be Byron Leftwich to the Bonecrushers rescue or will the Crushers Mark Brunell come through?

I'll make your job easier: Rhode Island is screwed. Yeah, I don't like my chances this week. I could get lucky in receiving though (the Canes definately have the advantage over me there). And in defense, I do have the advantage.

Luckily, I have the second highest fantasy score, so even with a low score this week, I'll still be pretty good when it comes to tiebreakers later on (although I'd rather have the W to back it up). Especially when I have both Brady and Holmes working for me next week. But this week, it'll come down to luck for me.

[roninmedia]

I look forward to seeing the high point totals everyone put up this week especially with great performances from a lot of players.

I put up big numbers this week in my high performance scoring 12 team league with pts per catch.

Culpepper - 48
Jimmy Smith - 19
Darrell Jackson - 20
Plaxico Burress - 25
Tomlinson - 22
Tiki Barber - 30
Droughns - 30
Eric Johnson - 35
John Carney - 6
Pittsburgh - 0

235 Pts...oh yeah!

[EddieMcD]

Ooh, guess what happened: my receivers came through! They each scored a TD. My defense held its own as well (although Ed Reed's 17 from the bench is going to haunt me for a couple nights). Of course, Tom Brady decided not to pass much yesterday, although I got 2 TDs (and an INT... not so good) from him. Then I realize that Drew Brees (of all people) outscored Brady, also from my bench. I'm currently up by 31, however the 'Canes have their two defenders and their defensive team going tonight. How will that turn out? Well, I'm watching tonight hoping that Green Bay scores a lot on Tennessee.

[Cory]

I took down the only undefeated team!!!! :-D

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (3-2) vs. Toronto Fumblers (1-4)
Toronto may be now called the fumblers but the X-Cats have the champion fumbler on their roster in Ahman Green who has been nothing short of an absolute dissapiontment this season and Arron Brooks is pretty good at putting the ball on the turf as well. Can rookie Ben Rothelberger keep up the good play for the Fumblers?

Rhode Island Charge (3-2) vs.This Space for Rent(0-5)
Is this the week the Renters break through? The Charge are missing a defense and though the Charge have the great Priest Holmes the Renters could win the matchup if Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore perform.

South Fl Jets (3-2) vs. Hurricanes (1-3-1)
A couple of primo matchups at quarterback and running back as the Jets bring Matt Hasselback and LaDanian Thomlinson against Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander. The recivers may settle this with the boasting Chad Johnson garunteeing big things for the Jets against Eric Moulds and Issac Bruce for the Canes.

Dunedain (1-4) vs.Bonecrushers (4-1)
Dunedain is forced to settle for Jonathan Quinn against a resurgent Byron Leftwich.The hope for Dunedain is that Clinton Portis can start making plays. Can Roy Williams and Tony Gonzales outduel Terell Ownes and Laverneous Coles of the Bonecrushers.

Coco's Monkeys (3-2) vs.Cooney Quest (4-1)
Strangely the Packer relliance is working for them in this league. Probably because they are getting production from the non-Packers on the team. The Monkeys hope Vinny Testeverde can match Brett Farve. Corey Dillon may help the monkey's pull through.

The Lightning ( 3-2) vs. The Shoats (4-0-1)
The league leading Shoats are in trouble this week as Tiki Barber and Reggie Wayne are on a bye and they will have to depend on the Patriots defense and Jake Delohme. Marc Bulger and Rudi Johnson could make it easy for the Lightning this week if they perfom like they are supposed to.

The Borg (1-4) vs. Valleygirls (4-1)
The Valleygirls are without three players who are on a bye including the Baltimore Ravens defense. The Borg are without one player on a bye who was injured in the first place (Todd Heap) and a benched QB Brad Johnson. So who's here who can contribute? The Borg have Brain Westbrook and Marshall Faulk and the Valleygirls have Steve McNair.

JC's Juggernauts (2-3)vs.Stud Man Clan (2-3)
The Clan have the advantage at quarterback with Chad Pennington feeding on a depleted Niners secondary while Brain Griese still has to prove himself. The running back battle with the Juggernauts Reuben Droughns and Curtis Martin vs. the Clans Kevan Barlow and Chris Brown.

Nor Cal Crushers (2-3) vs.Philly Cheesesteaks (3-2)
The Cheesesteaks possess the amazing Daunte Culpepper. They also have Domanic Davis and Duce Staley who are in better shape than the Crushers RB combo of Travis Henry and Fred Taylor. The Crushers have the more productive recivers with Jimmy Smith and Darell Jackson over kick returner Michael Lewis and Doug Gabriel .

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (3-3) vs. Hurricanes (1-4-1)
The Canes need big things from Donovan McNabb to beat out the X-Cats because they can't realistically expect anything from Chris Perry. The X-Cats are hoping for good production from Amos Zeroue to win out.

Rhode Island Charge (3-3) vs.Coco's Monkeys (3-3)
Manning and Dillon lead the Monkeys against the Charge who look to Preist Holmes and Willis McGahee. BJ Sams for the Monkeys is an interesting slleper.

South Fl Jets (4-2) vs. This Space for Rent(1-5)
Micheal Vick could go to town for the Renters against the Chiefs D but is it enough to overcome Matt Hasselback and Priest Holmes? Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore could help te Renters out. Will Chad Johnson bother to make plays instead of sending Pepto to opposing D's for the Jets?

Dunedain (1-5) vs Toronto Fumblers (2-4)
Going with the inneffective Jonothan Quinn is not exactly an inspiring thing for Dunedain but Sammy Morris could have nice production against the soft Rams underbelly. The Fumblers have no one player who really sticks out but good steady prodction from all of them could be enough to win.

The Lightning ( 4-2) vs.Cooney Quest (5-1)
The Quest have backups in at the running back position and the Lightning have Rudi Johnson and Edgerrin James on their side. Brett Farve to the rescue! The Lightning could be disaapionted by Marc Bulger's production this week.

The Borg (2-4) vs. The Shoats (4-1-1)
The Borg could be conceding victory by starting a benched Brad Johnson and the on vacation Plaxico Burress. Tiki Barber could do the damage the the Borgs hopes.

JC's Juggernauts (3-3) vs. Valleygirls (4-2)
The resurgent Kurt Warner and Curtis Martin and the surprising Reuben Droughns lead the Juggernauts. The Valleygirls are going with the struggling Joey Harrington. The Ravens D could be a significant contributor for them today.

Nor Cal Crushers (2-4) vs.Stud Man Clan (2-4)
Teh Clan have basically doomed themselves to defeat by leaving a roster spot blank and starting two players on a bye. Tent Green or Fred Taylor could lead the Crushers to victory.

Philly Cheesesteaks (4-2) vs. Bonecrushers (5-1)
The Bonecrushers are setting themselves up for a fall by missing a pair of players. The Cheesesteaks have Daunte Culpepper and you want a full roster when facing him.

I'm surprised you didn't point out my gamble replacing Brady with Drew Brees. I just don't like Brady's (or New England's for that matter) chances against the Jets. Plus, he hasn't thrown much the last two weeks. And hey, Drew Brees has the third highest QB rating in the league.

What I'm afraid of is that the Monkeys have had three tough losses (I mean really, who in their right mind would've predicted Conney scoring 93?). I'm sure this one will be close either way, and it may end on Monday.

Oh, and I'm personally proud of my Willis McGahee acquirance.

I don't think the Bills will have much running sucess against the Ravens at all.

Last time I do that... had I just left well enough alone and kept Brady (and possibly Chambers, we'll see tonight) in, I'd be winning. That officially inhales audibly.

This game should be close, presently Holmes has 4 touchdowns which is scaring the crap out of me. BJ Sams has had 2 punt return touchdowns and over 350 yards running in the past 3 games, this game he has a touchdown, so far, as well. I had a feeling he'd be a good bonus to my team. (That and I'm in Baltimore)

Brees isnt have too good of a day.

[Koko Ed]

Koko's X-Cats (4-3) vs. This Space for Rent(2-5)
This matchup features a pair of enigmas at quarterbacks. Carson Palmer for the X-Cats and Vinny Testeverde for the Renters. Whomever comes to play on Sunday goes a long way to determining the winner, Another question is can Ahman Green outperform the Renters Thomas Jones and Mewelde Moore.

Rhode Island Charge (3-4) vs.The Lightning ( 4-3)
The Lightning are going to need big games from Edgerrin James and Rudi Johnson to cover for Tim Rattay but they may have their hands full overcomming Proest Holmes and Willis McGahee.

South Fl Jets (4-3) vs. Coco's Monkeys (4-3)
Manning could be huge for the Monkeys which is good because Corey Dillon has been ailing this week and BJ Sams barely plays. The Jets LaDanian Thomlinson is hurting as well but Bettis is well rested getting to dive in within 5 yards to get easy fantasy points.

Dunedain (1-6) vs Hurricanes (1-5-1)
Battle of the cellar dwellers.
The Canes may be in better shape with Donovan McNabb and Shaun Alexander ready to roll but hurting themselves leaving Issac Bruce who is on a bye in the starting spot. Dunedain will look to Clinton Portis to right the ship and hope that Kerry Collins doesn't kill them.

Bonecrushers (5-2) vs.Toronto Fumblers (3-4)
The Fumblers have been hot since changing their name but could be introuble going with rookie quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a pair of backups at runningback. The Bonecrushers got Byron Leftwich and Terell Ownes and that could prove to be enough.

The Borg (3-4) vs. Cooney Quest (6-1)
The Borg are making it pretty easy for the Quest by still starting the benched Brad Johnson, the on-a-bye Marshall Faulk and the injured Brain Westbrook. A motivated Brett Farve may be all the Quest need(Farve's wife has been recently dianosed with cancer and last time Brett got smacked square upside the head by tragedy he played exceptionally).

JC's Juggernauts (3-4) vs. The Shoats (4-2-1)
The Shoats could get some nice production from their two recievers Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison. The running game is fairly even so the Juggernauts hope to score an advantage in the quarterbacks with Kurt Warner over Jake Delhomme.

Nor Cal Crushers (3-4) vs.]Valleygirls (5-2)
The win could come down to who has the better day. Emmit Smith for the Valleygirls or Fred Taylor for the Crushers. Javon Walker could be a secret weapon for the Valleygirls.

Philly Cheesesteaks (5-2) vs. Stud Man Clan (2-5)
Daunte Culpepper could kill the Clan himslef but the Clan seem intent on hurting themselves by leaving a starting running back spot blank.
