Recap -
12/17
- Torry finished 8th, about as underslotted as Bulger was on the QB page. Stinkin' Rams! Really though, Holt showed why he's the top receiver in the NFL. Finally figured out where the end zone was.
- Owens finishes in 3rd; gotta like that.
- When I checked back on the rankings tonight, I was happily stunned to see Horn at #3. Sweet! S-M-R-T!
- Robinson should have been Jackson, as some rightly derided. Jackson finished 9th.
- Moss was a bust in a weather-warped game. To be fair though, he dropped a sure TD in a wide open situation.
- Harrison should have been where Robinson or Moss ended up. It cost me.
- McCardell is strangely almost taking a back seat to Lee now! Houston clamped down; McCardell was not able to pile on the catches.
- Considering how risky taking Randy out of the top5 is, picking him 8th and having him finish 7th is pretty all-righta.
- Kennison started off great, then got hurt. Dang. Might have nailed the right KC receiver just once this season. Turned out to be Derrick Blaylock, at #4. I'm sure he was blowing up on everyone else's cheatsheet, too.
- I gave Booker too much credit by giving Grossman too much credit.
- Ward the unusual DNA. Smith came just short of 100 yds, and just short of the top20.
- Chad Johnson a good call, and then it's ugly the rest of the way down. Boldin was shut down well, a highly unusual outcome for him this year. He's for real. Bruce got hurt or he would have made the list; Mason I shortchanged but at least he was on it, and Price wasn't even close to making this list.
- As your record at the top goes, so goes your overall score. Horn and Owens as two of the top three made this week's WR predictions the 3rd best of the year.
Accuracy = 39.29%
