Holding Peter King accountable for horrible fantasy advice

I may be depressed as shit right now but there's one thing that can cheer me up a little and that is ridiculing Peter King's week 7 fantasy football tips.

So yeah, let's see how Peterson's great predictions played out this weekend...

Need a quarterback with the bye season in full swing? You'll hate me for saying this, but pick up Byron Leftwich. That starts my fantasy advice for the weekend.

The 10 weekly wise man's tips:

1. Why Leftwich? Simple. New Orleans isn't rushing the passer well, Leftwich is playing for his future and is supremely motivated, and he's been throwing the ball superbly in practice. That and $4.50 will buy you a triple latte, but he's going to be firing the pill all over the Superdome, and I like his chance to pass for 250 yards ... especially with Joe Horn returning to New Orleans, aiming to gain about 1,000 yards.

People hate you enough already without you telling them to pick up Leftwich. And for those that followed that advice, they probably hate you even more right now. Leftwich was actually putting up some decent numbers (15-23, 145, 1 TD) but since he's as durable as a butterfly, he left injured...yet again.

As for Joe Horn and his "aim" for 1000 yards, he finished with 3 catches for a whopping 25 yards.

2. I have said it all week: Do not bench Vince Young. He won't be in great shape, but it will take an amputation for him not to play at Houston on Sunday.

Read that again and the stupidity sink in thoroughly. I guess that Jeff Fischer must have amputated some part of Vince's anatomy then because he sure wasn't leading the Titans to a win yesterday.

4. Don't look for Michael Pittman to return until Nov. 18, after the Bucs' bye week. That means you should run, not walk, to pick up Michael Bennett, if the dolts in your league have left him on the waiver wire this long. Bennett's going to get the ball a lot, starting Sunday in Detroit.

Michael Bennett. 3 carries. 22 yards. 0 Td's. Who's the dolt now...

6. I've never been a big Chris Chambers fan, because I think he should play better than he's played. Having said that, the change in environment, from a loser to a winner, is going to change this kid's life -- as will being surrounded by players who are better than he is. Challenge is a wonderful thing, sometimes.

Yeah, may be nice and all but let's remember that Chambers has no value in week 7 as the Chargers are on their bye week.

8. I'd love to tell you to play all of your Redskins this weekend with Arizona in town, but I can't -- not with an offensive line that has to be scotch-taped together to make it through a game. Play Jason Campbell if you must, because he's coming on like gangbusters. (How, exactly, do "gangbusters'' come on?) Sit the rest of your 'Skins.

I played my 'Skin Clinton Portis and even though he only ran for 43 yards, he did get me 2 Td's. As for Campbell, he went 12 for 18 for 95 yards with 0 Td's and 1 pick. Gangbusters indeed...

9. Got Thomas Jones? You will be thrilled to death Sunday night. In fact, with Cincinnati and Buffalo on the schedule the next two weeks, and the Jets in QB-protection mode, this is the time to trade for Jones.

Yeah, those Thomas Jones owners sure must've have been thrilled to death Sunday night with 67 rushing yards and 0 Td's. Hold on while I go trade for Jones because he's clearly tearing up these weak ass defenses.

Tune in next week as Peter tells us to trade for Marc Bulger, Deuce McCallister, the Tennessee Titans mascot and Eric Mangini's soiled bra.
