I should have learned this lesson long ago -- Vernon T tried this back in the day with the Colts, and we've all seen how many times he's been in the playoffs...
This week's train wreck warrants a bit more scrutiny. On Thursday, self-proclaimed week 6 coach-of-the-week Zor (since two of those Bengals were last-minute waiver wire pick-ups and two of them had career best games) continued to flex his coaching muscles by starting the almost unknown Shane Vereen, who managed a career-night 26 points. All was looking good. Then, the weekend:
Take a close look. With the exception of the 8 points put up by the kicker (which is nearly 4 fewer than his average!), not a soul broke 5 points. Five. In our long history of fantasy, I challenge you to find a more pathetic performance from an entire team -- had I played it "correctly" as per the suggested starters, Mr. Vereen's ass would have been on the bench and Anquan Boldin's 5 points would have taken his place, bringing the total to 37 for the week.
Freakin' fantasy, man.

lol.
