That's Mighty Helpful, Matt Berry

ESPN's Fantasy Guru Matthew Berry wants to throw out some crazy names for you to pick up in your Fantasy Football League. And they are mighty helpful, if you are playing in a 6 man league with 5 young children.

1. Rashard Mendenhall--Really? You are recommending a full week after Willy Parker went down, and 2 days after Mendenhall crushed the Chargers? Thanks! I'd look for him in my league, except that he was drafted and hasn't, for a second, been a free agent. Thanks, though.

2. Nate Washington--Another player that was drafted in every 12 man league and had no reason to be dropped simply because of minor injury issues in the early going. "He's available in 60% of ESPN leagues!" Awesome. Also, not a great recommendation. Double boo on that one, Matthew Berry, Fantasy Football Expert.

3. San Francisco Defense--Getting recommended after 3 weeks of good play, and an absolute crushing week against St. Louis. If there wasn't a person who rolled the dice on San Francisco in your league, and picked them up a week ago? Congratulations--you are playing in the exact idiot league that Matthew Berry is speaking to. Also, congrats--you are picking them up the week after their best performance. Thanks Matthew Berry, for being a week late, despite all the signs.

4. Mohammed Moassaquoi--This would have been a true sneaky recommendation last week. This week, it's simply looking at the Top 10 Receivers, and looking for a receiver whose name isn't instantly recognizable. I could do that job, Berry. So could a computer. Don't take this the wrong way, Matthew Berry, but you are entirely useless.
