Week 5: SI.com’s David Sabino and Adam Duerson. Yes, that’s right: 2 experts this week are combining their vast expertise. Maybe Sports Illustrated thinks that if they have double the experts, they’ll have double the success rate. Or maybe they hired more fantasy football experts than they should have, so just have two of them share the same job. Or maybe one of them is a trainee; an expert in training, and he is working side by side with a mentor to see how it’s done. To see how qualified an individual must be to suggest to the world that Ronnie Brown and Larry Fitzgerald are worth starting. I have both of these players, and was very close to starting Brandon Jackson and Calvin Johnson in their place, before I came across this valuable advice. Thanks, Sports Illustrated!

Shocker: These two jerks went 11 for 30 - 37%. Even with the obvious choices of Brown and Fitzgerald, they still ended up below my hypothesized 40%. Not only that, but look at some of their other “A” (good pick) players: Marc Bulger who not only didn’t play but was doubtful most of the week. Tatum Bell is no longer a full-time starter since Jones is healthy. Jamal Lewis got hurt on the first play of the game and never returned. Darrell Jackson had Trent Dilfer as his QB against the Ravens defense. I also like how at the end of the article they say to also sit all Bengals, Eagles, Raiders, and Vikings players because they’re on a bye. Just goes to show how stupid the writers/editors of this garbage think their readers are. Sadly, the mere fact that they still have jobs proves how right they are.
