   I can’t help but chuckle to see Leon Washington make the list this week, especially over Corey dillon.

   I had Washington on my list last week, although I easily admit you predicted bigger things than where I had him ranked. I bet you love how close Washington and Dillon are ranked this week too. While Barlow continuing to get carries is frustrating, Washington has definitely proven his ability, especially on carries to the outside where his speed is really pronounced. Also, Mangini is proving to be a coach that loves to run the ball and his matchup vs. Cleve is a pretty good one. That I have him over Edge James deserves another chuckle.

   The only thing that scares me about Washington is the chance that Martin could come back. No doubt that if he is able to play he will take a significant number of carries from the Barlow/Washington committee.

   C-Mart is definitely a concern for Washington owners, but the odds are against him at this point. I agree though, if he’s healthy enough to play, he’ll get carries.

   Nice job by Jordan last week to dress, be on the active roster, and not play. He kinda rendered my whole “should I play without a kicker and TE” debate moot (not to mention Leinart’s stinker). I of course lost to the 2nd-lowest score in the league, just to make it tantalizing. I didn’t get to see much football, but read that Fargas got 22 carries, but awful yardage…I’d expected a lot more from him after having watched him a couple games. Lundy’s numbers looked good though, and it doesn’t sound like he’ll be sharing the load with Gado as much, so hopefully he’ll be a serviceable play for a while. I’m worried about Branch with the new QB…I was counting on him as my WR2, but don’t know if I should be expecting much for the next few weeks, though you didn’t seem to downgrade him too much.

   Just when you think things can’t get any worse with Jordan, he goes and pulls that stunt…I was expecting more out of Fargas as well…I actually really like Lundy from here on out and especially this week….I’d def. be worried about Branch, hopefully S. Wallace won’t be terrible, he has been in that system for years at least, but it’s definitely cause for concern.

   I hate wasting 2 roster spots on Raider RB’s when there are guys like Lendale White and Musa Smith on the waiver wire, but hopefully it will clear up after this week. Would you start Gabriel over Branch this week?

   That’s a tough one. I think if Huard has to sit out for KC, Sea may have to pass less, since there’s a better chance of them being ahead. Basically, I see that being a pretty low scoring game, but Branch was targeted 9 times last week, so S. Wallace does look for him….Gabriel has the better chance of scoring, but also could disappear as well. I’d still stick with Branch, but I wouldn’t blame you at all for going Gabriel.

   I’m thinking I should have kept Furrey over B. Johnson…it just looks like Leinart is getting worse and worse! As a Tatum Bell owner, I’d been expecting top-10 RB production for the rest of the season…now I’m terrified after Mike Bell’s performance. I’m done holding onto Fargas, as it looks like Jordan should be ok for next week, and I’m grabbing Lendale White (again). I was glad to see Henry didn’t get the Lion’s share of carries, and only hope White will keep getting more action, and that DeAngelo Williams gets healthy (Foster not looking good should help him get more carries when he does). Unfortunately, I’m going to be stuck looking for a consistent WR3 again once I dump Johnson…hopefully Gabriel can fill that spot alright, but I don’t like counting on any NE WR (I kept him benched for Branch this week).

    B. Johnson has been a huge disappointment. As was Leinart against a weak GB secondary. It figured he’d have his ups and downs, but I thought he’d still put up pretty big #s in the right matchups…Yeah go ahead and dump Fargas, as it doesn’t look like he’d be huge even when given big carries and like you said, Jordan is due back….I can’t believe Henry could look so good one week and then get shut down against Houston while playing with the lead all day. Unbelievable. Def. stash L. White…..Foster looks very pedestrian, D. Williams could be huge down the stretch…With the surprising success of Seattle’s passing game, it was disappointing to not see Branch post bigger #s but it does bode well for the next few weeks….I do like Gabriel, but Brady has never picked a favorite WR, something that figures to never change. Still, Gabriel could prove to be a worthy WR3.

    My condolences for being a T. Bell owner. I tried hard to trade for him before this week but couldn’t get it done. Turf toe is not good, and Indy’s terrible run D made Mike look great. Hopefully, the injury doesn’t linger, and Tatum continues to get the majority of the carries, but it’s a situation that’s definitely disconcerting.
