Week 5 Pros and Cons

Why do we play this game?
Is it really worth the aggravation?
This is the 2nd week I've won in my TD only league, but it feels like a loss....I haven't even broken 20 points yet!
Anyway, here are you week 5 pros and cons:

PROS:
QB- Donovan McNabb (PHI)
This guy has done nothing, but produce #s!
He keeps things going with another huge week gaining 354 passing yards, 2 passing TDs, 0 INTs and a rushing TD! This guy is carrying fantasy football teams on his shoulders. No Stallworth? No problem. He just keeps getting it done.

RB- Deuce McAllister (NO)
123 yards and a TD? Pretty impressive. McAllister broke off 100+ yards for the first time this year and got into the endzone for the 4th time. McAllister had a 57 yard run, and his TD score was on a 24 yard run. His AVG per carry was almost double his previous season best. (4.3 / 8.2)

WR- Hank Baskett (PHI)
Who??? Going into today this guy had 4 receptions for 60 yards. Today he caught only 3 passes, but tallied 112 yards and a score. Is Hank Baskett(who?) this good, or could an on-fire McNabb make me look like an AllPro? Probably option 2, but I'm sure someone will snatch him up and wait for this to happen again....don't hold your breath.


CONS:
QB- Chad Pennington (NYJ)
What in the world happened? I thought the Jags D was slipping a little, and I thought Pennington was in a groove. The Jags threw off Chad's groove to the tune of 71 yards passing and 3 INTS!! This was by far his worst outing thus far. He thre more INTs today than he has in the previous 4 weeks. Putting up 0 TDs also didn't help his cause. If you were counting on another solid game from Chad, you were dissappointed to say the least.

RB- Kevin Jones (DET)
OUCH! What else can you say? When Marques Tuiasosopo (Oakland's back up QB) racks up more rushing yards on one attempt (9) than you rack up with 10 attempts (8) you know you've had a bad day at the office. After scoring 3 TDs and 174 yards over the past two weeks, Jones came out looking absolutely flat. His 0.8 yards per carry was disgusting. He could have taken the hand-off, fell forward and got more than 0.8 yards! What was he doing?

WR- Terrell Owens (DAL)
Sure there were plenty of other WRs who produced less than TO, but those other WRs weren't on my stinking TV all week! Game of the year, TO coming back to Philly, what's going to happen???? Nothing! I can't put all of this on TO, as it seemed Bledsoe wasn't really looking his way too much, and when he did throw to him the passes were not good. The game might have been decent, but the fact that I was force fed this story (or lack of story) left a bad taste in my mouth before the game even kicked off....the fact that TO had 0 receptions for a good chunk of the game only made it worse. TO shows up, the fans boo, a game is played, someone wins...THERE WAS NO HUGE STORY! Morons.

Well if you had some pros on your team you're probably sitting pretty.
If these cons were in your lineup, you're either already accepting the L, or you're sweating out a close one.
Either way, we'll see you 2morrow with our week 5 recaps!
