Week 8

Hello and welcome to Battlefield Turf: The Extended Edition. As I said in the description, this is an extension to my Crimson Monkey column. I can only fit in so much into my weekly article, therefore, I created this so I can fit more. Please continue to check out the Crimson Monkey article as I share my weekly predictions and analysis.

For this blog, I have so many ideas on what I could do. But for now, I'm willing to share my updated Fantasy Football line ups.

I play in 5 leagues.

ESPN league: Spring Hellions (1-5)

QB: Matt Hasselbeck

RB: Steven Jackson

RB: DeMarco Murray

RB: Jackie Battle

WR: Antonio Brown

WR: Emmanuel Sanders

WR: Steve Breaston

TE: Brandon Pettigrew

D/ST: Bengals

K: Jason Hanson

Projection: Hellions will lose 120-148

Yahoo league: Los Angeles Riots (0-3)

QB: Eli Manning

WR: Torrey Smith

WR: Emmanuel Sanders

WR: Jabar Gaffney

RB: Darren Sproles

RB: Ryan Torain

TE: Jake Ballard

D/ST: Bengals

K: Dan Bailey

Projection: Riots will win first game 87.62-63.64

CBS league: The Scary One (3-0)

QB: Tim Tebow

RB: Fred Jackson

RB: Pierre Thomas

WR: Steve Smith

WR: Jeremy Maclin

WR: Jabar Gaffney

TE: Aaron Hernandez

D/ST: Chargers

K: Jason Hanson

Projection: The Scary One will lose its first game 103-112

Fleaflicker league: Portland Beavers (2-1)

QB: John Beck

RB: LeSean McCoy

RB: DeMarco Murray

WR: Marquez Colston

WR: Antonio Brown

TE: Owen Daniels

D/ST: Saints

K: Josh Scobee

Projection: Beavers will win 112.2-75.55

NFL: Vegas Vegans (2-1)

QB: Philip Rivers

RB: Maurice Jones-Drew

RB: DeMarco Murray

RB: Ryan Torain

WR: Jabar Gaffney

WR: Calvin Johnson

TE: Jared Cook

D/ST: Saints

K: Jason Hanson

Projection: Vegans will win 137.54-112.96

So, my projections have me going 3-2 this weekend. I'm playing the ESPN league for pride now and I'm just experimenting with sleeper picks. I really hope I don't take a first loss in CBS but if it happens, it happens. I know Tebow is a stretch but I had no other choice with Aaron Rodgers out on Bye.
