That award is for best defensive player? As an out an out shutdown corner the others mickey allover him. That's the general opinion around the NFL anyhow. The reason the others don't have as many picks is due to how many times they're thrown at.

CB's play on the defense don't they? Therefore C-Wood is the best CB and defender.

Where is this "general opinion" from, if you'd provide articles i'll review them! Other than Rex running his mouth i've never heard any complaints about Woodson beating Revis.

Thrown at is a fallacy also, especially for Revis. Thrown at: Aso 28, Revis 111, Woodson 76.

Just watched my recording of the game last night (i couldn't be bothered staying up when i found out there was 1 hour 30 of build up). The Sky pre-game stuff was truly terrible and a lot of it wasn't even relevant to the game happening. Also the game itself was abit of a let down, I was hoping for much more explosive offence but it is clear that Favre has no cohesion. Glad Pierre got going in the second half with me having him in fantasy world, I was so annoyed at half time!

I was a bit disapointed too after the opening drive by the Saints I thought we were going to be in for a boat load of points, and the way AP started off I was looking forward to quite a few fantasy points from him too

Yeah. I have AP and Pierre in the proper league and they were both seperately good in each half. AP first half and Pierre the second half.

Like you've said previously, Woodson can cover safety as well. On Total Access and ESPN Revis is constantly referred to as the "league's best corner". All about opinions I guess. You also cakked Rodgers the league#s best QB, can't have it both ways.

All that means is that in the opinion of voters that Woodson had a better season last season. It means nothing with regards to being the better cornerback.Darren Bent had a better season than Torres last season, but people wouldn't regard him as a better player.

Well in the main fantasy thing my score stands at 0.30 thanks to a massive 3 yards for Berrian. Would have been better off starting Heyward-Bey FFS!

Your still going to beat me I think. Could have really done with some more points from AP to get me further ahead.

Dunno about that. I'm epically weak at WR and Forte is going to struggle to get carries in Martz offense. Really don't like my RLFans team. 16 teams made it seriously difficult to be strong anywhere. Starting Naanee at WR at the moment with the only other options been Whosyermama and Heyward-Bey.

Agreed. 16 teams made it very difficult.

I think Rodgers and your RB's will far outscore my counterparts and i don't see my WR's being able to drag it back.

Surely that makes it more of a challenge and more rewarding depsite being a lot harder to get a massively strong team and squad??

I'm losing 2.3 - 0 in my RLFans league but didn't have anyone playing last night.

Losing 24.75 - 0 in my other team, again with 0 players used to my oppo's 3. My team in that one is, starters in bold:
QB: Manning (P) and Josh Freeman - its got us having 2 starting QBs in it for some reason!
RB: Matt Forte, Steven Jackson, Michael Bush, Ronnie Brown
WR: Roddy White, Johnny Knox, Mike Thomas, Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks
TE: Tony Gonzalez, Kevin Boss
K: John Kasay
D: Pittsburgh, NY Giants

As for the NFL UK fantasy thing, I had a team picked and saved earlier this week but I've just checked it now and it's all gone so no points for me this week!! How annoying!
