With Vernon Davis questionable and unlikely to play, and Niles Paul still feeling the effects of a concussion, I was out of options at TE.

You can't believe my surprise that when I went to the waiver wire -- Their was my favorite lion -- Eric Ebron. I thought he was ready to have a breakout game last week, but they still didn't target him much at all. With Calvin on an injured ankle, Tate with a balky hamstring and no Joique Bell -- I think this is the week the Lions will finally throw the ball to Ebron.

I am feeling a 6 catch, 90 yards and a td game for Ebron. Or, the Lions will completely ignore him, because they enjoy reading all my stellar reviews of our draft pick on here.:suds:

My options were very thin. I thought for a second I caught lightning in a bottle when they gave him a td catch, but after the replay, my hopes were dashed.

It was a tough catch to make though -- it hit him in the chest.:suds:

Well it does look like Ebron has passed Fauria for 2nd on the depth chart at TE. So I guess he might not be the worst fantasy start possible in a 64 team league or so. Tell me you are in a 64 team league.

You mean Fauria is injured and Ebron passed him by default. I think Fauria's job is safe.

Honestly I forgot Fauria was injured. I just expected Ebron to pass him sometime. I mean they must have drafted him for a reason...?

But you're trying to change the subject. And I fell for it. Tell me it's a 64 team league? :-)
Not that I've ever heard of a 64 team league. A league where Mike Glennon is an above average starter.

There must have been 10 better options available on the waiver wire.

I am feeling a 6 catch, 90 yards and a td game for Ebron.

This quote should go down on the message board hall of fame.
That feeling was more than likely just constipation.

I was hoping for a hail mary. I figured with buffalo great against the run, detroit being unable to run the ball consistently and Calvin and Tate hampered by injuries -- we'd HAVE to throw the ball to him.

I was dead wrong. He put up a big fat goose egg for me. Thankfully I don't think anyone I could have picked up would have won me the game. Guy I played against is the high scorer by like 40 for the week. Everyone had a monster week for him.

I know it will. If Vernon Davis and Niles Paul are hurt next week. I will just leave the TE spot vacant. I will still get the same points Ebron would get me.:suds:

Do the right thing. Step down and let your wife run the team.

About 5 years ago my wife destroyed an NCAA BB pool by 'picking the teams with the prettiest uniforms'. She later admitted that she got Michigan and Michagan State mixed up when she picked State to win their region.
