Larry Fitzgerald caught three passes for 98 yards against the Ravens in Week 8. Fitzgerald showed his trademark physicality on a tackle-breaking 66-yard deep slant, only to be tracked down by Cary Williams at the 6-yard line. He just five targets, though, due to the combination of a big halftime lead and the Ravens winning the time of possession battle in the second half. Fitzgerald's catches are down markedly this year, but he remains on pace for 1,378 yards heading into a matchup against the Rams' minor league corners in Week 9.

You cats are suckas for him on your team in the first place. But since you just found out what I always knew, trade him and walk away as fast as you can. Otherwise stop complaining.

If only I had the knowledge of someone who calls people "cats" and "suckas." Please, tell us more.

Lest we also forget to look at his handle. Anyhoo, I agree with Meat that with Kolb's ability to effectively conduct AZ's offense going into the season being a major question mark, I personally avoided Fitz like the plague. I love the guy. He and Kurt Warner almost single-handedly won me my league 3 years ago and I've been a fan ever since. But I decided that Megatron would be the safer bet taking the gamble on Stafford staying healthy this year. And boy howdy, was I right!

Yeah Megatron is great and all but unfortunately he was off the board late 1st/early 2nd round in most drafts. I drafted 1st in my league and had no shot at him. Lucky you if were in a position to get him.

X2 on Megatron being gone before Fitz. I wanted CJ but he was long gone and so was Andre Johnson so Fitz was the next best option.

True. I picked Megatron at 13th overall in a 12 team league, so he wouldn't have lasted past late 1st Rd/very early 2nd Rd. Couldn't believe that I got Shady McCoy with the 12th pick and Megatron with #13. It's been a good year.

Ha, that's very clever, but let's not lose track of what I was trying to say. I was just giving you love that's all. Btw, our commish named our league the Diabetic Sexperts, and Slanging Meat seemed appropriate. Good luck with your sorry ass wide out......Jack.
