My Week 3 Love/Hate updated w/ stats

Hate

Matt Ryan                   228 pass yds 2 TD                              X
Alex Smith                  232 pass yds, TD, int

Mike Wallace              3 rec 100 yds 2 TD                             X
Lee Evans                   5 rec. 54 yds                                        X
John Carlson               5 rec. 61 yds TD                                 X

Explanation for some: The Lee Evans hate is iffy but since the Pierre Thomas love is also iffy, I gave 50% and gave the X to one and not to the other.  The only other notable is Jay Cutler.  I didn't give him the X because he put up very similar statistics to Alex Smith who Mr. Berry also has and didn't put an X next to his name there.

Results
Love: 10/16
Hate: 6/10

Intro

Every week, ESPN fantasy "expert" Matthew Berry has a column called Love/Hate.  I happen to believe that Mr. Berry's opinion about NFL players shouldn't be the deciding factor in who to start for your fantasy team because I am just as, if not more educated than he is.  I have played Fantasy Football for the past 9 years and this season, I have tracked who Matthew Berry thinks will have good/bad weeks vs who I believe will have good/bad weeks from players ranked similarly near each other.  I am well qualified to challenge Mr. Berry based on my resume: Over the past 8 years, I have 4 first place finishes and 2 second place.  I started keeping track of the Love/Hate column in Week 2 of this season and started creating my own Love/Hate Column in Week 3.  By the end of the season, I hope to have a higher percentage of correct predictions then the "Talented" Mr. Roto has.
