Not that I was expecting a barn burner of a game Thursday night, but the Redskins and Bears were not, shall we say, in good form. These are not playoff teams, not in any sense of the word, really, and from a fantasy aspect, I don't think too many people are pleased if they had players active.
These Thursday games can be nice when a player goes off, giving you a 15-point advantage heading into Sunday, but the opposite holds true when you had to rely on Rex Grossman, Adrian Peterson or Santana Moss. Don't you feel as if you're trailing when a guy plays and doesn't do anything? Clinton Portis didn't look good at all, but the 54-yard reception at least got him into double digits for fantasy points. Other than that, Bernard Berrian was just about all you got from fantasy Thursday. I switched to NBC at times to watch "ER," and it was merely a continuation of the game we saw. Except there were women, and no penalties.
