The Week in Review…
As the weather begins to change around the country, fantasy footballers are getting used to the fact that if you don’t have players from the Pats, Chargers, Colts, Cowboys and dare I say Browns, you anxiously watch and wait every week to see who will rise to the occasion and carry your team to victory. This week was no different as those 4 teams (Cowboys were on a bye) continued to put points on the board and their studs continue to reward their fantasy owners.
The Games:
Skins 7 @ Pats 52
VIP’s – Brady 3 Passing, 1 Running – Welker 9-89 + a TD & Moss 3-47 + a TD
Trash – The Redskins (though Cooley caught a late touchdown)
Texans 10 @ Chargers 35
VIP’s – Gates 3-92 + 2 TD’s, Rivers 3 TD’s
Trash – LT had only 77 yards and you simply expect more from the overall #1 Pick. – All Texans
Browns 27 @ Rams 20
VIP’s – Braylon Edwards 8-117 + 2 TD’s, Derek Anderson 3 TD’s + 248 yards, Tory Holt 6-110 + 1 TD
Trash – Jamal Lewis – Only 61 yards on the Rams?
Jagaurs 24 @ Bucs 23
VIP’s – Jags D, Galloway 6-115 and a long bomb for a TD
Trash – Garcia a Top 5 QB has a rough day against the Jags
49er’s 10 @ Saints 31
VIP’s – Drew ”Welcome Back” Brees – 336 yards + 3 TD’s, Marques “Like the Jet” Colston 8-85 + 3 TD’s
Trash – Frank Gore – 41 yards is not going to cut it for a consensus Top 5 overall pick. Oh for the days of yesteryear….
Raiders 9 @ Titans 13
VIP’s – Lindale “I brought my lunch pail to work” White – 25 carries for 133 yds but did not find the end zone.
Trash – Vince Young – 42 yards passing, Lamont Jordan – 16 yards rushing and everyone else who plays for these offensively challenged teams.
G-men 13 @ The Fish 10 (I guess the Fish were home as it was so wet in London only a Dolphin could have enjoyed the weather)
VIP’s – Brandon Jacobs – 23 carries for 131 yards..
Trash - Manning, Burress, Toomer, Chatman & Games in foreign markets
Bears 7 @ Lions 16
VIP’s – Kevin Jones 105 yards + a TD & Greg Olsen 6-59 + a TD
Trash – Gresie 4 Int’s – 3 of which were in the Lions end zone Yuck!!!! – Jon Kitna & Roy Williams maybe the Lions are not a passing team anymore…who knows?
Steelers 24 @ Bengals 13
VIP’s – Hines Ward – 8 – 88 + 2 TD’s, Big Ben 2 TD’s & Willie Parker 126 yards + a score
Trash – Ocho Stinko 5 – 51 yards & Carlson Palmer 231 yards and a TD from the consensus #2 QB picked in this years fantasy draft; I don’t think that will cut the mustard.
Colts 31 @ Panthers 7
VIP’s – Addai 3 TD’s & a c-note, Wayne 1 TD’s + 168 yards and Peyton 254 + 2 TD’s
Trash – Steve “I am lost without my QB” Smith & the rest of the Panthers…
Eagles 23 @ Vikings 16
VIP’s – Westrbook 2 TD’s & Welcome Back Reggie Brown who caught 8 balls for 105 yards.
Trash – Adrian “All that hype must have gone to my head” Peterson who could only muster 70 yards in his first start for the Vikes.
Jets 3 @ Bills 13
VIP’s – Lee Evans – Hooray for Mr. Evans who made this prognosticator look like a genius hauling in a bomb for an 85 yard score and crossing the century mar as well.
Trash – The Jets, I can hear the chants in the Meadowlands now. JETS Just End The Season…well no worries it is over.

Waiver Wire Wonders
Waiver Wire Wonders
Another week another star player goes down as Ronnie Brown is done for the year…there were also several players who had to leave the game early from MJD to Travis Henry so check the injury reports as this time of year it is tough to field a healthy team.
QB’s -
Desperate times call for desperate measures as who knows who will be healthy enough to start this week at the QB position. Here are two candidates who are more then likely on your waiver wire and don’t have the worst match-ups I have ever seen.
Dante Culpepper – The Raiders take on The Titans who gave up 4TD’s to Sage Rosenfels who is the Texans back-up as clearly the only way to move the ball on this team is through the air.
Alex Smith – It looks like Alex will return to the line-up this week for the 49ers and he gets to face the Saints who aren’t exactly a shut down defense so look for Alex to return the 49ers to the win column.
RB’s
Jesse Chatman – The once hot RB is now hot again as Ronnie Brown is gone for the year and Jesse gets a chance to prove he is worthy of being called a #1 RB though I hope you have better options as the Fish face the Giants who are enfuego.
Chris Henry – No not the WR who comes back the week after next I am talking about the running back from the Titans who will get his chance to carry the ball quite a bit in their run heavy offense if Chris Brown does not come back this week.
WR’s
Kevin Walter – The Texans WR has two first names and is on quite a tear so if he is on your waiver wire go ahead and grab him.
Arnaz Battle – Alex Smith will be back and he and Arnaz will look to pick-up where they left off before Alex headed to the bench to get healthy.
Defense
Bills – Buffalo gets the Jets this week so they maybe worth taking a chance on as the Jets are in trouble.
49ers – The 49ers get the Saints this week and that should help their defense get back to the way they played the first two games this season.

The Week in Review...
The Week in Review…
Another high scoring week for Brady owners as the Patriot QB topped his performance from last week with 6TD’s against the Fish. Again this week we saw a kicker go crazy as Rob Bironas put 8 through the uprights though he is only owned by an average of 3 percent of all owners so I doubt he did much to swing the balance of this weeks fantasy results. Finally the week had a few more fantasy starters get dinged including Ronnie Brown who has been a consistent performer this fantasy season but overall a healthier week then normal in fantasyville.
The Games:
Titans 38 @ The Texans 36
The Titans looked like they were on their way to a dominating victory before Matt Schaub got hurt and Sage Rosenfels came into relieve him and throw for just under 300 yards and 4 scores. He found four different receivers including a long one to Andre Davis and once to Kevin Walter as well. The Titans were led by their kicker who had 8FG’s but the trend that Fantasy owners have to be most excited about is that Lindale White scored again and this time topped 100 yards as well so make sure to keep him active in your line-ups.
Pats 49 @ The Fish 28
Brady did it again as he through for 6 TD’s throwing 2 to Moss and Welker who is quickly becoming a must start moving forward as the Pats show no signs of putting the ball on the ground. The fish were blown out by the end of the 1st half and may have lost Ronnie Brown for a while so check your injury reports as if Brown is dinged up I doubt he will see the field as the Fish have nothing to play for anymore.
49ers 15 @ The G-Men 33
The Giants continued their surge behind the legs of Brandon Jacobs who ran for a 100 yards + a score and Eli Manning threw 2 more scores one to Shockey and the other to Toomer who has all of the sudden returned to fantasy relevance. The Giants defense also continued to put points on the board as they ran one back and sacked the QB 6 more times. The 49ers struggled offensively yet again and Frank Gore owners are suffering because of it. DJax finally found the end zone towards the final minutes of the game so hopefully they can build upon that.
Dirty Birds 16 @ Da Saints 22
Drew Brees and company did not put up a ton of points but did enough to get victory number two and along the way through 2 scores as well. Brees was about the only performer worth mentioning on the Saints side and well the Falcons were looking good behind Bryon Leftwich until he turned his ankle and had to finish the rest of the game on the pine. Roddy White continued along his breakout season being targeted 8 times for over a 100 yards and a score.
The Bucs 16 @ The Lions 23
The Mike Martz Air show has been grounded but now worries Kevin Jones is back to carry the load for the Lions as he broke the century mark and found the end zone for the third time this season. This is a good sign for the Lions overall as the more the running game produces the better off the passing game will be long term. The Bucs were led by Garcia who threw for 316 yards + 2 scores as the the running game has become less of a factor for this team as the injuries to the line may be too much for them to overcome.
Cards 19 @ Skins 21
Jason Campbell disappointed many fantasy football owners who expected him to at least match the 44 year old QB wonder from the Panthers but produced bubkas throwing for less then a 100 yards and no TD’s. Clinton Portis however did cross the goal line twice but only managed to gain 43 yards on the ground. The Cards are a hurting bunch right now and against the tough D of the skins they struggled on offense. Anquan Boldin however returned to the field and found the end zone in his first day back.
Ravens 14 @ Bills 19
The Ravens went into Buffalo expecting an easy time against the Bills of Buffalo but only found it hard to get their offense going. McGahee broke off a long one on his way to a 114 yard day and Boller found Mason for a score as Derek continues to be a regular producer for the Ravens. The Bills were led by rookie RB Marshawn Lynch who found the end zone yet again and is the most consistent performer in their line-up other then their kicker Mr. Lindell.
Chiefs 12 @ Raiders 10
LJ did it again as he found the end zone for the second time in two weeks and also went for a 100 yards so LJ owners should feel good about putting him in their line-up the rest of the way. LJ was about all there was to talk about in this one as both teams struggled to put up points.
Bungles 38 @ J.E.T.S 31
Kenny Watson was the story in this one as the one-time sub filled in quite admirably for Rudi Johnson find the end zone three separate times for the Bungles who desperately needed a win. The Housh remained Carlson Palmer’s primary target hauling in 4 balls and including one for a score. Chad Pennington may have just done just enough to hold to his job as he found Coles two times and Cotchery once on his way to a 3TD performance.
The Hapless Rams 6 @ Seahawks 33
Who will win first that is the question will it be the Rams or the Dolphins who knows but what we do know is that the Fish still put up points and the Rams do not do so regularly so be wary when playing your Rams. The Seahawks are still waiting for Alexander to wake up but in the meantime they are leaning on the arm of Matt Hasselback who found back-up TE Will Heller twice in the end zone for the only two offensive touchdowns in this game. The rest of the offense came from the kickers and the defense in what must have been a boring contest for everyone but the Seahawk fans.
Vikes 14 @ The Cowboys 24
Adrian Peterson is human as he only found the end zone one time could muster only 63 yards against the defense of the Boys. The other Vikings score came from their defense on a fumble return and they continue to remain a must start moving forward. The Cowboys also got a score from their defense in addition to one the ground from Barber and one through the air from Romo who found T.O in the back of the end zone.
Bears 19 @ The Birds 16
The Brian Gresie led Bears found a way to win again primarily behind 4 FG’s from Robbie Gould and through Brian did throw for 322 yards and a score to Mushin Muhammad. The once vaunted Eagles offense is vaunted no more as maybe that knee is really bothering Donovan Mcnabb as he continues to struggle to find consistency with his wide receiving core as both Brown and Curtis were shut down this week and it looks like those folks who drafted Brown need to begin to find alternative options as he is clearly a bust.
The Steelers 28 @ Broncos 31
The Sunday night game was an exciting one as a Jason Elam last second field goal was the difference in this one. In this game both QB’s played well as Big Ben threw for 4TD’s and Mr. Cutler threw for 3 more in a game where you would have expected the running games to dominate. While Jay spread the ball around Big Ben found his two favorite targets in Heath Miller who grabbed two and Santonio Holmes who found pay dirt once.

Waiver Wire Wonders
Waiver Wire Wonders
Where do you go this week to find help for your injured players or those who are on a bye? Well here are a few folks who might be worth adding to your roster.
QB’s
Jeff Garcia – The Tampa QB is going to have to carry the Bucs now that Cadillac and Pittman are gone so if you need some help this week he might be worth the roster spot as they line-up against the Lions.
Damon Huard – This Chief QB could be worth a flier this week as KC takes on the Raiders in Oakland the Silver and Black will be focusing their attention on LJ which could be lead to a good day for Mr. Huard.
RB’s
Kevin Faulk – The Pats play the Fish and Sammy Morris now banged up so Faulk could be the beneficiary. Pay attention to the injury reports but he could be worth a roster spot if Sammy is down for a long period of time.
Musa Smith – This is a more of a hunch that McGahee could begin to wear down as he is having to carry the Ravens on his back this season.
WR’s
Reggie Williams – If you need a flyer this week go grab Reggie as the Jags face the Colts and will need to put up some points to stay in the game.
Ike Hillard – Ike is quietly putting together a very productive season and while he may not find the end zone that often he certainly has become one of Jeff Garcia’s favorites.
David Patten – Patten has become the #2 man in New Orleans and it looks like the Saints may be getting back on track and they head to Atlanta next week so he could put up some numbers.
TE’s
Desmond Clark/Greg Olsen – Which ever Bear TE is available in your league is worth a roster spot as Mr. Gresie makes them a regular target.
David Martin – Cleo Lemon has made a new friend and his name is David Martin who caught two TD’s last week in Cleo’s debut.
Defense
Seahawks – The Seahawks are reeling but they get a present this week as the Rams come to town and bring their lack of offense with them.
Texans – If Vince Young doesn’t play it will make the Titans one dimensional and that will make this contest a very low scoring affair.

The Week in Review...
The Week in Review…
What an explosive week in fantasy as we say welcome back to the stud running backs led by LT who carried many owners to victory this with AP & LJ and a myriad of others who all had great days on the gridiron. But it wasn’t just the running backs as the QB’s also went wild led by Tom “I am so money” Brady, Derek Anderson & Brian Gresie who all went crazy through the air. The WR’s were led by Housh and Braylon Edwards who both continued to climb the ladder to fantasy stardom. We also lost a few more QB’s in Young & Warner who was already filling in for Leinhart at the RB position Sammy Morris who was subbing for Lawerence Maroney left the game and did not return, but enough with the chitter-chatter lets see what happened in the games.
The Games:
Texans 17 @ The Jags 37
MJD followed up his solid week last week with another fabulous performance rushing for a buck twenty five and finding paydirt twice and one was from 57 so that is a bonus. Garrard threw for two TD’s and over 200 yards so if he was your bye-week replacement that worked out well for you. Andre Davis owners have to be upset as he fumbled a score away at the goaline and was a non-factor in the contest as was Schwab who finished the game on the bench. Ahman Green found no room against the Jags front four and the Texans performer was Kevin Walter who caught 12 balls for a 160 yards but could not find the endzone.
Redskins 14 @ The Pack 17
It was a low scoring contest as the game featured two of the leagues best defenses. The Pack only scored one offensive touchdown and that was by Deshaun Wynn who should be picked up if he is on your waiver wire. Jason Campbell was involved in both TD’s for the skins running for one and passing for another finding Chris Cooley for a score. Brett Favre and his merry band of receivers were held in check but look for them to return in two weeks as the Pack has a bye next week.
Spineless Fish 31 @ The Dawg Pound 41
Make room Peyton & Marvin as Derek and Braylon went wild against the Fish hooking up three separate times and continue to bring it every week. I think Braylon clearly belong in your line-up every week regardless of the match-up and if you have Derek on your team and don’t have a Brady, Manning or Romo you could do worse. The fish were led by fill in QB Cleo Lemon who threw for two and ran for two more. Fantasy superstar Ronnie Brown broke the century mark but could not find the end zone.
Vikes 34 @ Da Bears 31
Wow!! What a performance by Adrian Peterson who ran wild against the once vanted Bears defense heading to the house 3 times from 73,67 & 35 yards away totaling 224 yards. He was not the only one who put up big numbers as Brian Gresie threw 381 yards and 3 TD’s one each to Muhammad, Berrian & Hester who ran back another punt return for a score. If you caught our video show last week and need a bye week replacement I hope you grabbed Mr. Gresie for your squad.
Hornless Rams 3 @ The Ravens 22
This was an ugly game plain and simple. Gus Frerrote who was filling in for Bulger threw 5 INT’s rendering the Rams harmless. The Ravens were led by Matt Stover who kicked 5 FG’s and Willis McGahee who finally found pay dirt. A boring game plain and simple.
Titans 10 @ Bucs 13
The Titans looked lost without their leader Vince Young who left the game and did not return forcing Billy Volek to take the healm. This game was as the score suggests a defensive battle as the Titans got their touchdown from Lindale White who carried it 25 times for the run heavy team from Tennessee. Jeff Garcia found Joey Galloway in the end zone for a score and Matt Bryant kicked 2 through the uprights but this game was boring.
Eagles 16 @ J.E.T.S (Just End The Season) 9
Well it is time to say good-bye to another of our playoff teams from last season proving a 5th place schedule can do wonders as the Jets laid an egg at home against the Eagles failing to reach the end zone at all. The only player who produced points was kicker Mike Nugent who kicked three through the uprights. The once vaunted Eagle offense did just enough to bring home the victory as McNabb hooked up on a 75 yard screen pass to Kevin Curtis who took it to the house. McNabb did throw for 278 and even found Reggie Brown 6 times for 89 yards so maybe not all is lost Brown owners. Brian Westbrook crossed the century mark in his return to the line-up.
Bungles 20 @ Hail to The Chiefs 27
Welcome back LJ as he ran for over a 100 and found the end zone this week his schedule will continue to get better so get ready to ride the gravy train for a while. Tony Gonzalez also enjoyed a nice afternoon as he caught 9 balls two of which were touchdowns and crossed the century mark as well. Carson Palmer and Housh hooked up twice in the end zone as Carlson threw for 300 yards in the loss to the Chiefs. Ocho Cinco was unable to perform his end zone dance this week but he did catch 8 balls for 83 yards.
Pats 48 @ The Boys 27
Tom Brady threw for 388 yards and 5 TD’s to lead the Pats to victory against the Cowboys leaving the Pats and Colts as the only undefeated teams left in the NFL. Tom’s main targets were Wes Welker who caught 11 balls for 124 yards and 2 TD’s and Donte Stallworth who went for 136 and a TD. Randy Moss had a modest day but still found the end zone and about the only bad news for the Pats was the loss of Sammy Morris who left the field early in the 2nd half and did not return. The Cowboys and the offensive machine were led by Romo who threw for 199 and 2 TD’s one of which was to Owens and the other to Crayton who is quickly becoming a mainstay in the Dallas offense.
The Raiders 14 @ LT & The Chargers 28
LT is back folks as he explodes for 4 TD’s and 198 yards on the ground against the Silver and Black which always seem to bring out the best in him. The Bolts Defense also stood out in this game causing 3 turnover while sacking Culpepper 6 times. The Silver and Black found it tough going getting only one TD from their offense as Culpepper found rookie Zach Miller alone in the back of the end zone for a score.
Old Man Testaverde 25 @ The QB Less Cards 10
Vinny Old Man Testaverde says move over George Blanda and leads the Panthers to victory against the QB less Cards who lost Kurt Warner early in the game and had to turn to journeyman Tim Rattay who proceeded to stink it up against the energize Panther defense. Vinny found Steve Smith for a 65 yard bomb and threw for over 200 yards so one might wonder if we will see David Carr behind center next week even if he is healthy. Edge continued to be a focal point for the Cards offense and managed to find the end zone to go along with 80 yards on the ground.
Ain’t Winless No More 28 @ The Hawks 17
We say welcome to the win column to the New Orleans Saints who rode an early special teams touchdown and Drew Brees arm to their first victory who threw two TD’s one to Colston and one his security blanket Eric Johnson. Fantasy owners just want to know was this an anomaly or are the Saints back as even Reggie Bush seemed to get on track. The Seahawks were missing Dieon Branch and never seemed to be able to get on track but still threw two TD’s one to Burleson and the other Obomanu who both had good days in an attempt to replace Branch.

What an explosive week in fantasy as we say welcome back to the stud running backs led by LT who carried many owners to victory this with AP & LJ and a myriad of others who all had great days on the gridiron. But it wasn’t just the running backs as the QB’s also went wild led by Tom “I am so money” Brady, Derek Anderson & Brian Gresie who all went crazy through the air. The WR’s were led by Housh and Braylon Edwards who both continued to climb the ladder to fantasy stardom. We also lost a few more QB’s in Young & Warner who was already filling in for Leinhart at the RB position Sammy Morris who was subbing for Lawerence Maroney left the game and did not return, but enough with the chitter-chatter lets see what happened in the games.
The Games:
Texans 17 @ The Jags 37
MJD followed up his solid week last week with another fabulous performance rushing for a buck twenty five and finding paydirt twice and one was from 57 so that is a bonus. Garrard threw for two TD’s and over 200 yards so if he was your bye-week replacement that worked out well for you. Andre Davis owners have to be upset as he fumbled a score away at the goaline and was a non-factor in the contest as was Schwab who finished the game on the bench. Ahman Green found no room against the Jags front four and the Texans performer was Kevin Walter who caught 12 balls for a 160 yards but could not find the endzone.
Redskins 14 @ The Pack 17
It was a low scoring contest as the game featured two of the leagues best defenses. The Pack only scored one offensive touchdown and that was by Deshaun Wynn who should be picked up if he is on your waiver wire. Jason Campbell was involved in both TD’s for the skins running for one and passing for another finding Chris Cooley for a score. Brett Favre and his merry band of receivers were held in check but look for them to return in two weeks as the Pack has a bye next week.
Spineless Fish 31 @ The Dawg Pound 41
Make room Peyton & Marvin as Derek and Braylon went wild against the Fish hooking up three separate times and continue to bring it every week. I think Braylon clearly belong in your line-up every week regardless of the match-up and if you have Derek on your team and don’t have a Brady, Manning or Romo you could do worse. The fish were led by fill in QB Cleo Lemon who threw for two and ran for two more. Fantasy superstar Ronnie Brown broke the century mark but could not find the end zone.
Vikes 34 @ Da Bears 31
Wow!! What a performance by Adrian Peterson who ran wild against the once vanted Bears defense heading to the house 3 times from 73,67 & 35 yards away totaling 224 yards. He was not the only one who put up big numbers as Brian Gresie threw 381 yards and 3 TD’s one each to Muhammad, Berrian & Hester who ran back another punt return for a score. If you caught our video show last week and need a bye week replacement I hope you grabbed Mr. Gresie for your squad.
Hornless Rams 3 @ The Ravens 22
This was an ugly game plain and simple. Gus Frerrote who was filling in for Bulger threw 5 INT’s rendering the Rams harmless. The Ravens were led by Matt Stover who kicked 5 FG’s and Willis McGahee who finally found pay dirt. A boring game plain and simple.
Titans 10 @ Bucs 13
The Titans looked lost without their leader Vince Young who left the game and did not return forcing Billy Volek to take the healm. This game was as the score suggests a defensive battle as the Titans got their touchdown from Lindale White who carried it 25 times for the run heavy team from Tennessee. Jeff Garcia found Joey Galloway in the end zone for a score and Matt Bryant kicked 2 through the uprights but this game was boring.
Eagles 16 @ J.E.T.S (Just End The Season) 9
Well it is time to say good-bye to another of our playoff teams from last season proving a 5th place schedule can do wonders as the Jets laid an egg at home against the Eagles failing to reach the end zone at all. The only player who produced points was kicker Mike Nugent who kicked three through the uprights. The once vaunted Eagle offense did just enough to bring home the victory as McNabb hooked up on a 75 yard screen pass to Kevin Curtis who took it to the house. McNabb did throw for 278 and even found Reggie Brown 6 times for 89 yards so maybe not all is lost Brown owners. Brian Westbrook crossed the century mark in his return to the line-up.
Bungles 20 @ Hail to The Chiefs 27
Welcome back LJ as he ran for over a 100 and found the end zone this week his schedule will continue to get better so get ready to ride the gravy train for a while. Tony Gonzalez also enjoyed a nice afternoon as he caught 9 balls two of which were touchdowns and crossed the century mark as well. Carson Palmer and Housh hooked up twice in the end zone as Carlson threw for 300 yards in the loss to the Chiefs. Ocho Cinco was unable to perform his end zone dance this week but he did catch 8 balls for 83 yards.
Pats 48 @ The Boys 27
Tom Brady threw for 388 yards and 5 TD’s to lead the Pats to victory against the Cowboys leaving the Pats and Colts as the only undefeated teams left in the NFL. Tom’s main targets were Wes Welker who caught 11 balls for 124 yards and 2 TD’s and Donte Stallworth who went for 136 and a TD. Randy Moss had a modest day but still found the end zone and about the only bad news for the Pats was the loss of Sammy Morris who left the field early in the 2nd half and did not return. The Cowboys and the offensive machine were led by Romo who threw for 199 and 2 TD’s one of which was to Owens and the other to Crayton who is quickly becoming a mainstay in the Dallas offense.
The Raiders 14 @ LT & The Chargers 28
LT is back folks as he explodes for 4 TD’s and 198 yards on the ground against the Silver and Black which always seem to bring out the best in him. The Bolts Defense also stood out in this game causing 3 turnover while sacking Culpepper 6 times. The Silver and Black found it tough going getting only one TD from their offense as Culpepper found rookie Zach Miller alone in the back of the end zone for a score.

Week 6 Start'em/Sit'em
Week 6 Start’em/Sit’em
Week 5 is in the books and the injuries continue as Leinhart is down an out for the year with a shoulder, Jake also is done as he is undergoing Tommy John surgery, Deion Branch sprained a knee and he will be out at least 3 weeks, Trent Green suffered a grade 3 concussion and it could be both season and career ending. If you add to the fact that 6 teams have byes this week and they are the Bills, Broncos, Lions, Colts, Steelers and 49ers your fantasy line-up is going to be filled with waiver wire pick-ups and back-ups. We will do our best to find a few gems and find a few whom you should avoid.
QB's – (Always Start Brady, Romo, Palmer, Favre….)Start em -
1. Derek Anderson - Great Match-up vs. the Dolphins and with Jamal potentially on the shelf the Browns will look to take advantage of their secondary.
2. Hasselback – I know that Branch is out but the Saints are giving up 31 pts per game right now so I think even without his #1 target he will still find the end zone.
3. McNabb – Donovan and company come off a bye week and they get to play the Jets as there reward who are not playing very well right now so look for McNabb to put up solid numbers in this one.
Sleeper of the week – Brian Griese - The Bears play the Vikings and while the Vikings are great against the run they are not so good against the pass and I believe Brian will continue to progress and put at least two TD’s on the board.
Sit em
1. Carr/Whoever plays QB for the Panthers – The Cardinals are back home and are on a roll and the Panthers offense is ugly even in the games they win.
2. Brees – Until further notice Drew Brees deserves only a spot on your bench as whatever magic he had from last year is gone and on top of that the Seahawks are going to be looking to avenge last weeks poor outing against the Steelers.
3. Vince Young – Vince looked awful against the Falcons so I would be shocked to see him perform well against the Bucs. Vince may win games in the NFL but those W’s don’t transcend to fantasy stardom.
Bust of the week – Jason Campbell – The rookie signal caller looked great against the Lions but this week he heads to Green Bay which is a different story so look for Jason to struggle against the Pack.
RB's – (Always Start – LT…) – It is a sad day when we are down to only one always start back but this season is simply whacky when it comes to backs…
Start'em
1. Larry Johnson – I know he only ran for 12 yards last week but this week he gets the Bengals so I think we are looking at his best performance of the year.
2. Edge – He is on the verge of becoming a must start and the Cards are at home and Russ Grimm has that O-line opening holes for Mr. James..
3. Willis McGahee – He gets his turn to run all over the Rams so put him in your line-up and set in on cruise control.
Start of the week – Ronnie Brown – With Cleo Lemon at the helm Ronnie will touch the ball even more and Cleveland is 30th against the run so expect to see him put up some huge numbers in Cleveland.
Sit em'
1. Adrian Peterson/Chester Taylor – I think the Bears D gained a bit of their mojo back last week and the Vikes are one dimensional so it could be tough sledding against the monsters of the midway.
2. Foster – I think the Panthers are going to lay an egg out west in Arizona.
3. Earnest Graham – The Titan D is tough against the run led by Albert Haynesworth so leave him on the bench.
Bust of the week – Lamont Jordan/Raiders RB – The Bolts are back and they are going to continue their winning ways by shutting down the Raiders…
WR's
Start em (Always start – T.O., Randy Moss, Chad Johnson....)
1. Burress – Plaxico is on a roll so make sure he is in your line-up when the G-men play the Falcons.
2. Braylon Edwards – He and Derek Anderson have chemistry and the Fish have holes in the secondary so I think he has a good chance of finding pay dirt.
3. Bobby Engram – With Deion Branch out Engram is going to become Hasselback’s #1 target so get him in your line-up.
Sleeper of the week – Reggie Brown – I think after a week off the Eagles will look to get their #1WR back on track and the Jets may just be the answer to Reggie’s woes.
Sit em
1. Tennessee WR’s – Vince Young looks awful and the Titans will only throw when they have too.
2. Vincent Jackson – The Raiders CB’s are better then Jackson and he is going to struggle to get open and once the Chargers get up big time they are going to stop throwing the ball.
3. Roddy White – I don’t think that Joey will have time to throw the ball this week at all and this one could get ugly fast .
4. Ronald Curry – I am scared of this match-up as the Chargers are looking to follow-up last weeks performance with another drubbing.
Bust of the week – Joey Galloway – I think the Bucs are in for a long day versus the Titans so Joey is going to have to buckle up for this one.
Defenses
Start'em
1. Bears – Put them back in your line-up especially against the Vikings who lack the offensive weapons to compete with them.
2. Cardinals – The Panthers are hurting and that heat in Phoenix will cause them to wilt.
3. Ravens – They get the Rams this week at home and Frerrotte likes to throw the ball to the other team so make sure they are in there.
3. Giants – Monday night in Atlanta and the Giants have won 3 in a row and there defense is a big part of that.
Sleeper of the week – Browns – Miami is struggling and the Browns are starting to play pretty well so maybe this week there defense takes advantage of Mr. Lemon.
Sit'em
1. Cowboys – The Pats are going to score and the Dallas D is going to be the victim.
2. Redskins – I think the Pack is going to put up some points this week against the Skins.
3. Vikings – This smells like a blow-out waiting to happen.
Bust of the week – Panthers – The Panthers are going to wilt in the heat in Phoenix.
Kickers
Start em
1. Folk - Lots of scoring in Big D
2. Crosby – The Pack is going to move the ball and he is going to be the beneficiary
3. Gould – The Bears kicker is going to be busy against the Vikes
4. Tynes – In a dome against the Falcons need I say more…
Sleeper – Kris Brown kicked 5 against the Dolphins so maybe Dawson will do the same this week in Cleveland.
Sit'em - This simply isn't worth the typing...
Week 5 is in the books and the injuries continue as Leinhart is down an out for the year with a shoulder, Jake also is done as he is undergoing Tommy John surgery, Deion Branch sprained a knee and he will be out at least 3 weeks, Trent Green suffered a grade 3 concussion and it could be both season and career ending.

Waiver Wire Wonders
Waiver Wire Wonders
Another week in the NFL and another set of Fantasy starters go down. Our primary attraction is a twin billing of Matt Leinhart and Deion Branch who will both miss significant time as Matt broke his collarbone and Deion has a sprained knee. Michael Pittman is also out for quite a while so for the time being the Bucs are down to Earnest Graham as their only RB option, Jamal Lewis tweaked an ankle and Jake just called it a season when he elected to have surgery so with the bye weeks one might as where do I go from here?
QB’s
Kurt Warner – If for some reason he is still available go run and grab him as he is the Cardinals signal caller moving forward.
Cleo Lemon – The Dolphins head to Cleveland this week and Trent Green is done so it is no Cleo’s team.
RB’s
Jason Wright – Jamal Lewis is banged up so Wright could be in-line for more carries..
Dominic Rhodes/Justin Fargas – Just in case Lamont is out for long you could do worse then taking a shot at one of these two…
Selvin Young – I can’t imagine he is still available but if so grab him as Travis’s suspension from the NFL is bound to happen sometime.
Deshawn Wynn – There are worse bye-week replacements as he is getting quite a few touches in Green Bay.
WR’s
Bobby Engram/Nate Burleson – With Deion Branch out for a few weeks they become 1 and 1a for Hasselback and the Seahawks.
Dennis Northcut – If you want a Jaguars receiver on your team this is the one as he is getting most of the balls thrown his way.
Tim Carter – If Joe is out Tim becomes #2WR and in that offense that could be a good play especially with Miami coming to town.
TE’s
Eric Johnson – If you get points per reception he can be your bye-week replacement as he sees the ball a lot.
Randy McMichael – The beleaguered Rams looked much better under Gus so taking a flyer on Randy may be worth it if you need a bye-week replacement for your TE.
Defense
Redskins – They held Detroit’s vaunted offense down and now they get a shot a GB so maybe worth a shot.
Seahawks – The Hawks welcome the Aints to town and since the Aints haven’t shown anything to us yet why would we expect that to differ now.
