I suck at NFL DFS. I mean I set $100 worth of lineups on FanDuel and DraftKings, and I win like $20 in each. And it'll probably be zero once the Monday night results come in. I think the problem is my brain gets poisoned with so much bullshit I pick up over Twitter or stumble across online. I mean how the hell did I have Charcandrick West in my lineups? I don't even know who that is. Next week - if I play at all - I'm only going with players I've watched and whose roles I know.

• The game of the week should have been the Patriots-Colts, and the first half lived up to its billing, more or less. But the second devolved into unwatchable play with a penalty on every series. I mean why not just have the Colts agree to start 1st-and-20 on every drive and dispense with the wasted time of throwing the flag and stopping the action?

• There was a lot of talk about it being a revenge game for the Patriots - after all the Colts ratted them out for underinflating the football - and the point spread which opened at 7.5 jumped all the way up to 10. Surely the Patriots were going to flatten them to prove a point. Of course, it was nothing like that - just a normal mediocre game between a very good team and an okay one where the Colts backdoored the cover in garbage time.

• Andrew Luck looked okay to me. He just doesn't have enough time to go where he wants with the ball, so he takes too many sacks. He could get the ball out quicker with dinks and dunks, but you can tell he wants to get the ball down the field to T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief. It's not happening until they protect him better.

• Frank Gore doesn't look 32 with the ball in his hands, but the Colts aren't a power running team, and they don't give him a heavy workload.

• Moncrief led the team in targets, and Andre Johnson looked sluggish and dropped another pass. I'd proceed as if last Thursday's game didn't happen.

• Julian Edelman came out on fire, hurt his finger and wasn't a factor after the first series. Rob Gronkowski was also relevant on only one series when he had two of his three receptions and a touchdown. I would read too much into this unless Edelman's injury turns out to be a problem which is unlikely since he played the entire game.

• Dion Lewis didn't do much, maybe because he was banged up coming into the game, or maybe because the Patriots like bludgeoning the Colts with LeGarrette Blount. But Blount played well and will be a threat to take a big share of the backfield work in any given game.

• Al Michaels is the best. He mentioned there was an over/under prop available on how many times he and Cris Collinsworth would say "Deflategate," and said it four times quickly so the over bettors won.

• I took the Ravens -2.5, but I obviously overlooked the Torrey Smith/Anquan Boldin "revenge-game" angle. And if both of them needed to take revenge, then Colin Kaepernick had to have a good game, which he did, especially against that awful pass defense. That's two good games in a row for Kaepernick, but I know as soon as I use him anywhere, he'll make me pay dearly.

• Steve Smith, coming off a missed week due to broken bones in his back, had another big game, and I have to admit I was wrong to discount him this summer. Smith might be old, but every game is a revenge game for him because every waking hour is a revenge hour.

• Philip Rivers threw for 503 yards, but the Chargers scored just 20 points. Had they been able to cash in on that last drive, the game goes to overtime where Rivers would have had a real shot to break Norm Van Brocklin's all-time record of 554 passing yards.

• Keenan Allen had a big day, but it could have been quite a bit bigger had he not left the game after taking a hit. Assuming he's healthy, he's a top-10 receiver.

• I don't know if Eddie Lacy's just gimpy or he's lost the job, but that was a big no-show against a Chargers team that hadn't stopped the run all year. I suppose James Starks is the more valuable back right now, though he's never been able to stay healthy for long except as as backup.

• Aaron Rodgers had a modest day as the offense without Jordy Nelson isn't as explosive as last year's. Jeff Janis, a size-speed freak, made an impact with four targets and two catches for 79 yards. He also made a key block on Starks' long TD run. The Packers have a bye next week, and Davante Adams should be back, but the receiver depth chart after Randall Cobb is still wide open.

• The Dolphins defense and Lamar Miller both showed up now that the team had two weeks to cleanse itself of the Joe Philbin regime. Jordan Cameron led the team in targets followed by Rishard Matthews. Jarvis Landy saw only four, though he did run for a score.

• Cam Newton made some mistakes, but he's a good quarterback on a team with arguably the weakest receivers in the league. While the Seahawks defense isn't what it was, making a comeback in Seattle with those receivers was impressive.

• Jimmy Graham looked like the Pro Bowler for whom the team traded. I'd like to see him get double-digit targets in two straight games before I'd put him ahead of Greg Olsen, though.

• Keep an eye on rookie Devin Funchess. He had a couple drops, but he led Carolina wideouts with six targets.

• I had the Lions minus three in the LVS SuperContest and I took them in my *re-buy* survivor pool. Even though I came out with a push and a win, respectively, it wasn't worth it. Between Jim Caldwell kicking a FG down seven on 4th-and-4 from the 16-yard line and a few minutes left in the game to the team muffing two punts, to Matt Stafford, who had played great most of the game, throwing a soul-crushing pick, it's just too much to ask of myself emotionally.

• Arian Foster's numbers don't jump off the page, but he looked completely healthy, moving well and breaking tackles. He's a top-five back.

• I had Julian Edelman as my No. 1 WR, in part because he's had his bye already, but now that he's dealing with a bad finger, I'll move DeAndre Hopkins ahead of him. Hopkins is likely to lead the league in targets, and Brian Hoyer is adequate enough for that to be the difference-maker.

• Blake Bortles isn't good, but his defense will keep him slinging the ball (53 attempts), and he has decent receivers. Throw in some rushing yards, and he's useful when your real QB's on bye.

• Backing the Lions is bad, but backing the Chiefs takes decades off your life. Andy Reid punted on 4th-and-2 from midfield down 10 with a minute left in the half. If it's 50/50 to get a first down, why not roll the dice and put yourself in the position you fear the other team having should you fail? Reid also ran into the teeth of the Minnesota defense on 4th-and-1, predictably failing, and Charcandrick West fumbled on the team's penultimate drive.

• Alshon Jeffery's back, and he's a top-10 receiver right away.

• The Cardinals-Steelers game was such an obvious trap. I laid the three points, but I knew it was a mistake before kickoff. Of course, it got worse when the Steelers replaced Michael Vick (who's a poor man's Kaepernick at this point) and put in Landry Jones who got Martavis Bryant involved. I actually subbed out Bryant in a few DFS lineups this morning because I didn't think Vick could get him the ball.

• Oddly, Le'Veon Bell didn't record a catch for the first time in his career, and Antonio Bryant extended his sub-50 yard receiving streak to three games. This offense should be a monster though once Ben Roethlisberger comes back, maybe as soon as next week.

• John Brown had a big game, but Michael Floyd also made an appearance with eight targets, 50 yards and a touchdown. The team doesn't throw to its tight ends much, so there's probably room for three productive receivers.

• Chris Ivory is a top-10 back, especially now that he's catching passes. He's a powerful runner, but he can also get outside and gash teams for big gains. And the offense around him is above average. The Jets are a dangerous team, now that Darrelle Revis is back, and they just got star defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson back from his suspension.

• Besides maybe Roethlisberger, does any quarterback have a better setup (skill players and offensive line) than Andy Dalton? Dalton seems almost matchup proof at this point. I've yet to do my quarterback ranks, but I'll probably put him in the top five.

• Peyton Manning managed only 6.0 YPA against the Browns who were missing their top two cover corners Sunday. And that includes one nicely thrown ball to Emmanuel Sanders on the sideline where he took it 75 yards for a score. The Broncos are 6-0 due to their defense, but imagine how good they would be if Manning were actually playing well?

• Ronnie Hillman got the bulk of the carries and did more with them than C.J. Anderson. Demaryius Thomas saw 17 targets, but had a couple terrible drops.

• Travis Benjamin (13 targets, 117 yards) and Gary Barnidge (9 targets, two TDs) apparently aren't going away.
