2011 Season - Week 9

As only one weeks games were played in October after trading day I have counted the rosters as they were at the start of the month. The big guns came good and for $12.5m this team would have given you 252 points (October’s highest scoring BUMS team was Sofa Wreckers with 145 points). HC Mike Tomlin (Pittsburgh & Westmorland) $2m 24pts, K Jason Hanson (Detroit & Langley) $0.5m 42, QB Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay & Underachieving) $3m 48, RBs Adrian Peterson (Minnesota & Rhodesia) $3m 42, Beenie Wells (Arizona & California) $1m 30, Receivers Calvin Johnson (Detroit & Leamington) $2m 30 & you can choose two from the following three AJ Green (Cincinnati & Slough), Devin Hester (Chicago & Underachieving) and Plaxico Burress (NY Jets & Langley) all of whom are $0.5m and scored 18 points. Dez Bryant, Jason Witten & Marques Colston also scored 18 points but cost $1m and Dwayne Bowe, Greg Jennings and Mike Wallace scored 18 but cost $2m. Running backs Arian Foster ($3m), LeSean McCoy ($2m) and Michael Turner ($2m) also scored 30 points. October’s Non BUMS Team Did you sign one of these on Trading Day? Scoring 237 points a team of these players costs just $8.5m. Pick one HC from Marv Lewis (Bengals), Todd Haley (Chiefs) or Jim Harbaugh (SF) $0.5m 24pts, (Mike McCarthy (GB) scored 24 but costs $2m), K John Kasay (Saints) $1m 48, QB Cam Newton (Panthers) $0.5m 51, RBs Ahmad Bradshaw (Giants) $1m 24, Steven Jackson (Rams) $2m 24, WRs Pierre Garcon (Colts) $1m 24 and Wes Welker (Patriots) $2m 24. For $0.5m and 18 points again choose one of Deion Branch (Patriots), Eric Decker (Denver), Joel Dreessen (Houston), Jimmy Graham (Saints), Jason Hill (Jags), James Jones (Green Bay) or Greg Olsen (Carolina). Vernon Davis (SF) scored 18 for $1m. Hall of Fame Players Thanks to the 14 of the 16 owners who voted in our annual poll.
