I was in dire need of a QB with Romo on the bye week and Sanchez sucking it up so I had to look to free agency for a decent QB. All week I was reading and hearing from all the "experts" how Matt Hasselbeck would be a great quality start since he was facing the Arizona Cardinals and their pass defense is one of the worse in the league. Well, nobody told that to Arizona who pretty much shut Hasselbeck out. He gave me zero freaking points! At one time he was at -1.
Luckily I had a great day out of my running backs Maurice Jones-Drew, who I believe is one of the top performing fantasy players for the week, and Jonathan Stewart. My New England defense finally showed up and gave me some decent points. My pickup of free agent Matt Prater of the Broncos was a quality move. He gave me 10 points. The rest of my team were underachievers.
Jarhead hoo rah was able to keep it pretty close with some great outings from Thomas Jones who gave him 16 points. He was projected at 9. He also got 16 points from his kicker Ryan Longwell. He was projected at 8.
If it wasn't for those two I would have blown him out because everybody else on his team were underachievers besides Peterson who gave him 8. He should have started Flacco instead of Manning since Flacco got 13 points and Manning just gave him 4.
Here's how we stacked up.
Pos | Player | Opp | Proj | Act | Pos | Player | Opp | Proj | Act |

Now for the rest of the league games.

And for the second week in a row half of my team is on a bye week, so I'm going to have to make some more moves this week as well. Lame!
