The Viable Draft Strategy - Must Protect This House affair isn't over yet, but it appears the week may end with all but the last place team at 5-4 or 4-5. Remarkable parity. My theory is that there have been no injuries, very few 'bust' players, and owners of a bust player were off set by a surprise.
Lack of Notable Injuries: Owen Daniels. That's it. Westbrook (IYG), Calvin Johnson (CR), and Gore (CR) have missed 2-3 games each.
Bust/Surprise Offset:
In Yo Grill: Westbrook bust for Cedric Benson
Road House Coolers: L Tomlinson & Steve Smith bust for Ray Rice
Corn Rocket: Calvin Johnson bust for Steve Smith and Joe Flacco
Sadly, there's Sam Hamwich who drafted well but got screwed. Busts include Boldin, Terrell Owens, and a borderline for Matt Forte...not off set by any surprises.
So here we are, all tied up and starting down the stretch. I say the winners avoid the injury bug cause this is too close to call.

Even if I somehow pull out a win (doubtful), your point is still valid. An incredibly tight race down the stretch where one or more of us will be kicking ourselves over decisions that could have gotten us 2-3 extra points in a week (since point tiebreakers are going to be huge).
Should be quite the affair.
The only thing I can dispute is the assertion that I drafted well. TO in the 3rd round was a bad pick and Larry Johnson in the 4th was a terrible pick. And I could have kept Cutler in the 8th round but instead drafted Tony Romo in the 6th. Cutler and Romo have almost the same amount of points this year.
Much like Maryland can still mathematically win the ACC title I could still make the playoffs but I'm not counting on it.
I'm just feeling a bruised ego because what looks good on paper tends to shit the bed on Sunday for me.
Oh well, there's always next year.
Dunno, I liked your strategy, especially with a stud like Matt Forte as a keeper. I never imagined Terrell Owens would bust so badly, which is why I took Marshawn Lynch in the 4th round, and had Trent Edwards as my starting QB for weeks 1-3.
Hey! He hasnt busted badly, since his goal this year was to have a better season than Roy Williams.
wouldn't we all like to have a better season than either roy williams. . .
