Gus Frerotte

I hard to take a long hard pause when starting Gussy Gus last week. Much to my surprise, he almost brought me a victory. He only scored 7 points less than Peyton Manning and is projected to 33 points this week as well. Not too bad for a waiver wire, laughable pickup when it happened.

In a global sense, he is projected as #9 this week on ESPN, ahead of such high draft picks as Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Carson Palmer, Matt Hassleback, and Marc Bulger.

All that said, he is hard to trust and hopefully won't be on my team much longer. He is starting this week versus the lowly Lions (also since Big Ben on the Bye Week and Garrard has a tougher matchup)

Viva La Frerotte (at least this week)

If the Vikes get their run game in order, which they didn't do against the Saints, I think Gus could fade back into oblivion. That said, he's got a few decent options to throw to in Peterson, Shiancoe (who's been fairly reliable), and Berrian.

I got a dollar that says the gus bus outscores manning this week. But yeah, hopefully the guys in not on my team after sunday.
