The overall fantasy production was slightly up this week, but was provided by people you don’t know, don’t have on your team and won’t repeat their performance next week. So… there you go. I don’t have all the questions, but Mr. Trebek has given me the answers. Let’s get started …

With fantasy point production down across the board I’ve been able to take my two important teams (money involved = important) to 3-3 and have reinvigorated my chances of getting stomped in the playoffs.  I hope you’ve been as lucky as I have been. Here we go: 1. The quarterbacks have …
