Yeah, I've been really careful about that. So far the guys I've used are 1, 9, 17, 19, 20 in yards per game overall, and I have 27 this week. And still, I'm in 8th place. A lot of it is about matchups. It helps to be a little lucky too.

Same, a lot of the good ones have taken a while to get going too. I figure the greater potential for output from the elite QBs will probably be around midseason. |

Also, the strategy of picking a prolific passer against a weak opponent doesn't always work. Most teams tend to scale down their passing attacks once they get a big lead.

I agree maybe take the prolific passer on the road vs a weaker home opponent (but not to weak).

I would add two cents too, but I don't want to give away all my secrets.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you get the pick in before the games start. Good luck - especially with that pick!

hi guys, i'm going to be on the road for a couple of days so probably won't be able to tabulate results until then, but i will.
i don't know where we sit with the Progressive Survivor Game, but with milanb's Marathon Survivor Game still active, plus this one, plus vikingsrule's Pick 'Em, that should be enough.
on to next week, and the Cardinals!
