Buffalo Wild Wings Fantasy Football

Dear Trent,

I know you’ve had a rough few years in Buffalo. The summers are cold, and the winters are colder. J.P. Losman’s shoes are hard to fill. I understand. With a name like Losman, he has to be a winner, right? But still, Trent, we need to talk.

You’re a smart guy, and you have these two guys — I don’t know if you know them — named Terrell Owens and Lee Evans.

Yeah, they play wide receiver for you, and while Lee Evans has royally screwed many a fantasy owner late in a fantasy football season and T.O. has been known to implode a team or two when the time is right, there are plenty of fantasy owners out there counting on you to put together a solid game for these two each week.

But that’s just a part of the problem, you see. You need to get those two involved because that opens up the field for the real weapon that you neglected this week, Fred “Checkdown Jackpot” Jackson.

By throwing to T.O. and Evans, you can stretch that defense. (I know you lost your offensive coordinator before the season, so I don’t mind explaining.) And by stretching that defense, you can free up the field for some big gains when you check down to Fred Jackson, running and receiving back extraordinaire.

In Sunday’s game against the Saints, that’s what was supposed to happen. Depending on how much Red Bull the person you asked had consumed or how long they had been tailgating on Saturday, the projections were pretty impressive. Jackson was going to be the man this week.

The Bills would be in a shootout with Drew Brees to the very end. No question.

But you questioned, didn’t you, smart guy? And that, that inquisitive brain of yours, is what kept me out of the winner’s circle this week against The Jerk Store — I bet they sell you AND Fred Jackson there.

Oh, sure, Percy Harvin would have helped… but hey, I’m writing this to you right now. Don’t try to spread the blame!

Listen, I expect better out of you moving forward, and so, I’m sure, does Fantasy Football Librarian, your esteemed owner in the Buffalo Wild Wings All-Star Bloggers League.

To help you step your game up, I’m going to send you and Fred Jackson some Mango Habanero sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings in hopes that you will redeem yourself once Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch returns this week. Just be careful not to make direct eye contact with it because it is some scary stuff. That is, of course, why I chose it to represent my team.

Best of luck to you and watch out for an angry T.O. coming to your home sometime this week. I think he’s going to be looking for those passes you owe him.

Better luck next time,
Jacob, owner of team Foolish Decisions, representing Fantasy Football Fools
