I would roll with Tate. If you assume his probability of TD is .25 for 1.5 value vs Jonas's probability of .66 for 1 TD and .1 for 2 TD's for value of 4.6 then you are looking at about 6 catches to break even on TD's + PPR points. With 6 catches, Tate's yards should exceed Jonas slightly if Jonas gets 15 carries sharing with Blount and Vereen (Jonas has 1 catch to go with 83 carries). Tate was 8-89 vs Bears on Thanksgiving and Calvin played full game. Let me ask about my dreadful situation. Hopkins (might be out but if not has Keenum at QB and Andre to compete with), Spiller v OAK (totally unknown playing time due to collar bone but in a contract year so Bills may not care about injury risk), or Kerwynn Williams vs Seattle... Ugh. PPR league

For whoever doesn't have the Sunday ticket right now, the Viacom dispute and blackout of Viacom channels is a prime time opportunity. I called in and threatened to move to Comcast and they gave me a free ticket, $10 off/month for 12 months, and free Whole House DVR. I had to call in twice though. First time, the woman only offered me $5/month for 3 months so I set up a cancellation 2 weeks out. Second time, I called with the excuse of finding out if they would take the dish down off my roof and the rep offered me all the stuff above. There are other forums online with people getting all sorts of free stuff. If they threaten you with having to pay an early termination fee, just mention that it is a breach of contract in your opinion and the assessment of cancellation fees sounds ripe for a class action.

I think the Bears win as well, but looking forward, they have Detroit at home in week 4, Cleveland at home in week 8, and St. Louis at home in week 13, so you may want to consider saving them for one of those games instead.

I was lucky and drafted Manningham in the 20th round in both of my leagues, so I don't have to worry about bidding for him, but Knox will likely go for several hundred dollars and I have no idea how to gauge what I should bid on him.

What ended up happening in your league? I was thinking about bidding on Knox this week, but have no idea how much he'll go for. Last week, Robert Royal went for $150 in one of my WCOFF leagues.

Thanks for the tip on this - I just called in and the $20 off/free Superfan was basically handed to me without negotiation.

In to win...

Merry Christmas CMB. Maybe the Bears D can deliver you a shutout and 4 defensive TD's to offset the fact that McCown outperformed both Hasselbeck and Martin and make your X-Mas a happy one. Peace be with you.

Am I an idiot here or what? Why would anyone want Martin vs. SF when he may not even play and in case of a blowout, may not even be passing the whole game vs. McCown, a natural born superstar who should lead me to a dominating victory? Peace be with you as you enjoy 2nd place, TheCMD. Sincerely, Scott Childers

Looks like I'll have to win the Super Bowl with Charlie Frye at the helm, eh?
