So, 3-0 this week after going 0-3 last week. It my second 3-0 week of the season. I feel good about my teams so far. It's when teams start getting into the bye weeks that you really have to start paying attention and watching the waiver wire.

It's looking like Lee Evans is about to get dropped though; Buffalo is simply terrible. I picked up Edwards for the Rabid Monkeys on Brees' bye week because Buffalo was playing Cleveland; turns out the Bills are just as bad as the Browns.
