Lost my fantasy match already . . . I really should have paid more attention to the scoring settings before the draft at the start of the season. I'm in an "ESPN custom" league that scores punt return yardage and that sort of thing. A lot of players who don't normally show up in fantasy draft rankings or advice columns are burning me every week.
Next year I'm definitely joining a standard league. It's stupid that half of the top 100 ranked RBs / WRs are return guys.
As for the Patriots, I still think they'll win 12 games . . . their remaining schedule features 5 games against pushovers (KC, Washington, Indie, Denver, Miami) and 4 games against solid opponents (NYG, NYJ, Phillie, Buffalo). I'd be pretty surprised if the Patriots don't beat all of the pushovers and win 2/4 against the decent teams -- terribad pass defense or not.
Twelve wins should set the Pats up for a home game in the 1st round, probably against the Bills or Jets.
