Drew Brees did a complete 180 from week 7 to week 8 and almost cost me my game. Maybe the Rams received some luck from the one team in St. Louis who is worth a damn, the World Series Champion St. Louis Cardinals, because they ran all over the New Orleans Saints Sunday. While good for Rams fans and anyone dumb enough to have the Rams defense on their fantasy football team, it couldn't have been any worse for those who start anyone from the Saints. I am one of those people with 4 players on my team and while one was a dud for the week the other was a stud. Here is the breakdown of my highlights and lowlights of week 8.

STUDS

Antonio Brown, Wide Receiver, Pittsburgh Steelers. With 9 receptions, 67 yards and 1 touchdown he easily laid down 21 points for Kibbles and Vick (my team). The touchdown was a quick 7 yard pass from QB Ben Roethlisberger who I imagine was picturing Brown as any type of fast food. I feel that when he does this it is when he succeed which is good for me as Brown has had two successful weeks for Kibbles and Vick since I picked him up of the waivers and put him in a starting position.

Rashard Mendenhall, Running Back, Pittsburgh Steelers. Mendy got me into the double digits this week with 70 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards for 12 points and hey, that was just as many points as Drew Brees got me this week, 55 less than the week before. Mendy is a player you can always count on. Like Brown, being thought of by "Big Ben" as food has really come through for me have two stellar weeks as well. It's amazing what your fantasy football team will do for you once you put your feelings aside and pick up people who can get the job done.

All comment regarding Ben Roethlisberger are solely based on my own opinion that he sits around and eats Big Macs in the off season. There is no proof of this.
