Take your pick and let us know what you think.

Check out The Audible this week for more.

I'm with your pick again.

Is Taylor for sure not playing?

(edit - never mind just read the Taylor thread. I change my vote - the Lions could make Ron Dayne look even better than he did against Oakland and Fason has a good OL in front of him)

should've said Nate Washington! :bag:
Yeah I was off by a week for the second time this year (See:DeAngelo Williams week 10)
We've been one-off quite a few times as well, but overall we've done pretty well.I considered the WRs in Pittsburgh, but I didn't think a Thursday night pick went well with the timing of The Audible, so I scratched all of Cleveland and Pittsburgh (although I did add D. Anderson to the Dynasty Watch this week, and he's worth rostering in Dynasty Leagues).We need to go back and review who've we picked I think. Cecil's picks will be changed to LT2 to protect the innocent.....
 
Other: Marcus Robinson
That's a good pick as well. I saw his targets were high last week.I also liked Ike Hilliard as a sleeper for similar reasons.Hank Baskett, believe it or not, is a dark horse yet again. He had 3 targets last week and is living as the slot WR for the Eagles with Garcia at QB. LJ Smith is having troubles catching a cold.
 
With no threat and I mean no threat of a passing game the Lions can simply stack the line all day and force the Vikings to throw the ball to beat them.

Fason will bust this week and will make a lot of people sad they started him over better options.

Furrey has shown he can ball.

With Horn and Colston probably out Copper makes a compelling sleeper in the pass happy offense of the Saints.

:lmao: I just want to hear Bloom go off about Brandon Marshall [bloom]aAAAAHHHHHHH BRANDON MARSHALL!!!!!!!!!![/bloom]
 
I went with Furrey on this list. I think he continues to be under appreciated. Many are hyping Fason but I think Mewelde Moore ends up producing quite a bit in the Mn backfield.

Remember, my reaction at the draft was more "shriek" than "yell". Think 1964 Beatles.Correct bloomism:[bloom]eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee BRANDON MARSHALL!!!!!!!!!![/bloom]
 
The Minnesota Star-Tribune reports that Vikings RB Chester

Taylor (ribs) was on the practice field Friday, but it was

not clear whether or not he was going to take part in the

team drills. Before practice, Taylor called himself a

gametime decision for Sunday. "I'm the only person that

knows how I feel," he told the paper. "So that's basically

it. I've got the last say on it basically. ... I'm just

going to make the decision that's best for me and if I can

go I can go, if I can't I can't."

My disagreement is that I believe the Vikes can open holes for Fason even if the Lions stack 9 in the box. They are THAT bad at run D.And you are way ofdf on saying the Vikes have no pass threat - they are 7th in the league in attempts and completions, 13th in pass yards, and they just got a big threat back in MRob.You are correct hat htey are having problems SCORING TDs bnoth on the air and on the ground, but they are racking up rush and pass yardage.The Lions' pass D made Joey Harrington a star (that was a weird sentence to write because it was usually Harrington making the Lions Pass O look like a dud). Brad Johnson will not have a problem picking it apart - which means the Lions can not afford 8 in the box.Sammy Morris went 12 for 91 against the Lions - I think the Vikes will be fine.

That's a good call, actually. More likely Fason's numbers are hurt by Moore than the Lions' D.Moore could have a few really big plays - he had the propensity to do so each game when he was the starter last year.
