Pickup of the Week

So as I have mentioned before on the blog, I play rec league volleyball. It's a real man's sport you know. Anyway, last Friday night while going up for a block, I landed wrong on my foot, rolled my ankle, and may have sidelined myself for a few weeks. As I sit here writing this 2+ days later, my foot is still pretty sore and black and blue from the ankle down. I don't feel bad, I was not the only athlete to go down this weekend. A first and second round draft pick went down this week. WHO? Michael Turner and Ryan Matthews, which brings us to the pickups of the week.

Snelling yesterday went off against the Cards. He had 24 carries 5 receptions and near 200 total yards, and three touchdowns. Early word out of the Falcons was that Turner could have gone back in, but since the game was a blowout he did not. I still think Snelling is worth a pickup and a sit on the bench for now.... Turner will be hurt again.

Mike Tolbert took over for Ryan Matthews yesterday, who went down with an ankle injury (I feel your pain Ryan). In relief of the injured Mathews he had 2 touchdowns and about 100 combined yards. Just like the situation above, Matthews should be back next week. Now we know who the number 2 guy is.... just pick this guy up and sit on him. If Matthews doesn't go this week.... boom you've got a starter.
