BCB Fantasy Football League Week 4 Preview: Now with Baseball Content

I know it's the end of the year, so it's time for a Doug Melvin Performance Review:

Traded JJ Hardy (2.6 WAR in 364 PA) for Carlos Gomez (.9 WAR in 288 PAs). 

Signed Doug Davis (-0.1 WAR)

Signed Randy Wolf (0.7 WAR)

Signed Latroy Hawkins (0.1 WAR in just 16 innings)

Kept Jeff Suppan until June

Stood pat at trading deadline

Did not sign covey

And then Atanasio comes out and says, "he's the man next year, because he's got 2 years left on his contract."  Because that's worked out so well for us with Suppan and Hall. 

Yes, there's a lot of negative there.  In fact, that's all I listed.  I was not a fan of his this year and chose to ignore the positives.  It's my fanpost, so write your own to defend stache.

On to the games. starting with League 1:

Backfield Penetration (Power Rank: 20, Line: +36) V. Lawrence Taylor's After School Special (Power Rank 4): Many people are wondering how Knowshon Moreno get's hurt at a Friday practice, which is a Walk Thru. My diagnosis: Sprained Vag.  Cmon Knowshon, man up.

Stop Being Such a Kuhnt (8, +18) V. Charlie's Got Wood Son (17): Charlie's is a 18 point favorite because half his team is taking on the Lions, but he's definitely hoping that Kenneth Darby can take or make more hits thanTerrence Trent D'Arby. 

Ed Werder's Chapstick (10, +25) v. It's My Vick in a Box (12): the poor Eds have to go through the season rooting against Jay Cutler's demise.  You don't have to be a Bears hater to wish for that.  Every time I saw that guy when he was with the broncos, I wanted to show him what I learned in my crotch punching class.

Mark Chamura's Hot Tub Crime Machine (9, +10) V. PATs What She Said (16): It's rare that you see a team with Matt Hasselback and NO Kicker favored over one with Peyton Manning, but that's what happens when you have a strong RB and Receiving corps.  BTW, if you are looking for a TE, I'd say your dance partner in the trading game should be MCHTCM.  Witten and Keller are a great pair.

The Wheezing Haynesworths (22, +8) v. Addai in your sleep (21): Remember those great games of the Lions v. the Browns, or the Jaguars v. Rams.  Thats about how excited this game should be.  The scary part is that Lissa has Favre and Kellen Winslow on a bye, and is STILL favorted by 8.

Steve Breastonplants (5, -3) v. Rock Out With your Crocs Out (7):  The best matchup in League one this week.  I too have to start Shaun hill because of bye weeks.  I do not expect to win that game, but then again, I don't have Chris Johnson on my team either.  Meiz also took a hit with Jahvid Best's toe.  That will teach you to trust Lions. 

League 2:

Cinci's Work Release Program (15, -9) v. Gulf Coast Oilers (13):  There should be no way I am favored this week, but then I saw Michael Crabtree (who could be the biggest disappointment  in fantasy this year) and Jacoby Jones at wide receiver.  The amount of suck between those two could pull dog hair out of a carpet.

Chris Henry's Moving Truck (2, +10?) v. Najeh's Closet (14):  I question lines at Espin a lot, and here's a prime example.  Let's see why... Neither team has addressed their bye weeks.  Wake the F*CK UP GUYS! IT'S FRIDAY.  BTW, losing Charles, Harvin & Shiancoe >>> losing Winslow & the Cowboys D.  There's your explanation on the line.  Stupid bye weeks.  I hate you so.

Party Favres (18, -18) V. Big Ben's Pre Spooge Ooze (1):  I really hate typing out BBPSO's name.  It makes me just feel dirty.  Great name choice effect.  Anyway, if BBPSO is going to lose a game, this is the week to catch him, with Austin, Romo, AP, and the Chiefs D on byes.  I just don't know if the Favres have it in them.

Steve McNair's Shotgun Offence (6, -14) v. Purple Drank Makes Me Jolly (23): I figured a bigger disparity in the line when I looked at this matchup, but these two teams matchup pretty well between their good and their suck.  It should be a relatively closer game.  Or it could be a friggin blow out since Purple Drank's team always seems to suck a lot.

Somewhere Over Dewaye Bowe (3, +26) v. Dez My Momma's Corner (11): In what should be one of the better matchups of the week, Nicole has decided to bench Anquan Boldin (THE SECOND BEST RECEIVER IN FANTASY SO FAR) who is playing the Steelers, in favor of Tim Hightower, Donald Driver, and TO.  I discourage all stereotypes about women and Fantasy Sports knowledge, but this fastball is grooved. 

Sacking Joe Morgan (24, -25) v. Mark Chamura's Post Prom Party (19): Remember what I wrote about Crabtree earlier?  Well Fitz's numbers may be placing him worse.  But it's not his fault Derek Anderson would try to throw to him and hit Breaston 40 yards in the opposite direction.  Fitz is the 2nd most targeted receiver in football.  With Breaston out, he'll get himself back up to first.  Oh, and Eli is just terrible.

Those are the games.  Good luck this week, and feel free to treat this thread like you would your best friend... by writing all over it when it's passed out.  I think that's what the kids are doing these days.
