Total Domination

My team came through in grand fashion, despite Palmer's poor performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I managed to win by a score of 195-132. If that is not convincing fashion, then I don't know what is.

Below is a screenshot of my teams total point accumulation (Double-click to see a larger view). I am in a PPR (Points Per Reception) league. Therefore, I have stacked my WR corp with veterans such as Ike Hilliard and Bobby Engram getting 7-8 targets consistently a game. Additionally, I traded for Reggie Bush and Joseph Addai since they see a lot of passes out of the backfield. I have Jerious Norwood and Kenton Keith as backup running backs if need be.

My Week #8 Roster

My current roster for "week 8" consists of the following:

QB - Carson Palmer - I know Pittsburgh defense is the real deal, but its secondary got exposed against Denver.
RB's - Addai & Bush - I figure I'm good to go here in a PPR league.
WR's - I have Ike Hilliard, Reggie Brown and Lee Evans (I hope Evans comes alive in the second half of the season of this year)
TE - Antonio Gates - I won without him last weekend, but I have him this weekend
Kicker - Nate Kaeding (I had Rob Birona's last week and I figure he'll do good against Houston this week).
Defense - Houston is playing with its back-up QB. I like my chances with San Diego's defense.

Overall, I like my chances this week. I'm #3 in my league and I'm going up against a team with Tom Brady as its QB. Wish me luck!

Heavy Load Running Back Study

Here is an interesting study I came across regarding fantasy production of heavy load running backs.
