Hello all you out there in fantasy football land. Welcome to the weekly recap of newsvine’s own fantasy football league, Get Tackled Here.

For the players, feel free to use the comment thread for trade talk, league talk, and general trash talk. That’s right, if it is related to fantasy football, consider this thread COH-free. Trash talk away!

gecko85’s Gecko’s Army – 110.22 over Adam Hobson’s COH Violation – 60.51

I think it’s officially time that I stop playing games with Rodgers and Favre and just simply declare Rodgers my starter and Favre the backup.

ajs’s Melchizedek’s Mafia – 112.30 over Sheil Naik’s This is the year – 106.05

I think Sheil may have learned his lesson leaving a DL starting spot empty. If he starts a defensive lineman, he’s got at least even odds to pick up the six points needed to win. Instead, Sheil wasted Derek Anderson’s revival in a loss.

Andrew Min (formerly Online Apps)’s Da Geeky 11 – 118.04 over Evan Mix’s [Name Redacted] – 62.38

And Andrews streak of fielding competitive steams is extended to two. Never give up on talented players like Peyton Manning and Andre Johnson, and then every once in a while a Thomas Jones pulls off three touchdowns.

Ramon Lo’s Tha Finz – 109.74 over Eric Atienza’s WaitingForNextSeason – 91.34

Sometimes, all it takes is three studs, Rivers, Barber and Tampa, to win.

Calvin Tang’s GristleMakers – 67.84 over Jason Ford’s TheOne – 59.10

Calvin is now 3-3 without once checking out his team. Jason is now 0-6 also without once checking his team. The auto-draft giveth, the auto-draft taketh away.

jamiewb’s Tank Johnson – 83.19 over Fast Eddie’s Buy One Get One Free – 59.96

I have nothing clever to say here.

TomPitysFools’s Ultra Beatdown! – 104.81 over Sgt. Pepper’s Big Ben’s Buddies – 47.23

Sometime it’s good when a formerly famous player gets injured. Now Tom has no excuse to continue to start Carson Palmer, and Matt Schaub should help more than he hurts.
