Ya – I think he was a better start than Foster. At least I caught myself and saw the light before it was too late.

Yeah, Cincy looks like a situation to avoid this week. I’m 4-1, but my lineup is in shambles this week. My RB’s and flex are going to be Leonard, Wynn and Ward (I hope he still gets 3rd down work since this is PPR), but Wastson is available. I’ve got Ocho Cinco and Roddy White at WR, but need a third WR…unfortunately, that means I’d have to drop either Vince Young or Kurt Warner (since I’m not dropping S-Jax, R.Wayne, Kevin Jones or Calvin Johnson). I’ve been trying to trade Romo with no luck, and can’t get any takers for VY or Warner either. Damn. It’s not like there are any great FA WR’s out there either…I think I’m debating beween Northcut and Bryant Johnson (AZ). I’m almost tempted to punt my WR3 spot, but since it’s PPR, if I can get 5 catches for 50 yards, from the spot, that’s probably 10 points I’ll need in the matchup. This sucks, but things should be better for my team next week (until Romo and Witten are on bye).

I can’t believe Robby is taking TCU…shame shame shame.

I accept your White wager but will have to decline the Benson one – I should have had him lower. So it’s $20 LenDale White vs. Jason Wright this week.

I’ll take $20 Wright v White and $20 Wright v Benson. But only if Lewis doesn’t play – does that work?

Dreamweapon – I led the Peterson bandwagon all offseason, and he’s one of the rare “my guys” who hasn’t been a bust this season.

Kritter – Porter and Engram are actually decent bye-week fill ins Sunday, especially Engram. If your Raiders beat the Chargers in San Diego this week, then I will truly eat some crow.

Paul R – Fair enough. Maybe I am being too stubborn with one of “my guys,” but there aren’t too many great options after him…Still, I see your point.

Keith – Obviously, Watson doesn’t belong in the top-10 if Rudi plays, which looks more likely now. Both fall out of the top-15.

Robby – come on now, it’s 20 vs. 21……but sure, I’ll bet you on that. Using our fantasy scoring format – Jason Wright vs. LenDale White this week – how much you want to lay down?

jackjester – It’s unclear who will get the goal line carries in TB, but Graham is suited well for that role, and Crockett was out of the league three days ago. Both the Rams and the Bucs have very tough matchups this week, but at least TB is at home, and Balt D has been very, very tough against the run this year. It’s close and I wouldn’t blame you for going the other way, but I give Graham the slight edge over Leonard this week.

Brandon vs. James – again, real close. Basically a coin flip. I would give Brandon the slight edge because James is the No. 3 WR on his team and Wash is probably the slightly tougher matchup, but Brandon hasn’t practiced all week and looks like a game time decision. Therefore, I recommend the healthy option in James Jones.

Heavens, no, no need to apologize, I just thought maybe you had some insight on the matter that I wasn’t clued in to. And I’m heavily biased against Foster because starting him over Peterson actually cost me a Week 1 victory, as I lost by 8 pts. with Foster scoring 7 while AD was on the bench with 26.

With my Colts and Marshawn on a bye, its a motley Wrecking Krew this week, but I have great confidence in Daunte, he won’t do what he did 2 weeks ago, but I think he’s healthy, and will keep from turning the ball over, and keep the Raiders in first. My WR combo for this week is iffy, but what can I do (Jerry Porter and Bobby Engram) we shall see how it goes.

Get over your love affair with Vince Young already. He isn’t even in the top 20 in fantasy production for QBs this year.

Wright below White? Wanna bet on that?

Having serious issues with byes and injuries this week in both leagues.

Lost Jackson and Cadillac in one league and torn between E. Grahmn and B. Leonard as RB2 for this week. Leonard has a terrible matchup but Grahmn’s isn’t much better. Is Grahmn even gonna get the goal line carries after Crockett signed?

Other league is not quite as serious. Have S. Holmes on bye and must choose between Brandon Jones and James Jones for WR3. Both have mediocre matchups but B. Jones would probably get more targets and J. Jones plays in a more consistent passing attack.

Any other thoughts? – noticed both positons are ranked very close

If Rudi Johnson is playing, he’s not crazy to put in the top-10, right? I don’t see this as any different, except maybe Watson is a little better. Check out the yards per carry and added ability to catch the ball. With Watson in the backfield, the playbook actually EXPANDS. KC has a good pass defense but beatable on the ground. For all of Cincy’s faults, it’s still a pretty potent offense.

Kenny Watson in the top-10??

Dreamweapon – No, I’m not harshing on Campbell at all – like I said in a comment above, he’s playing quite well. I just think his situation in Washington limits his fantasy upside. No Randle El, a limited S. Moss, a run-first team with two good backs, solid defense – Washington just doesn’t throw it enough for him to be a big fantasy asset, and this week’s matchup with GB isn’t ideal either. But in real life, I like him – the 7.7 YPA suggests more TD passes are to come, and his ability to run does give him solid fantasy value.

And actually, I take back my Foster over Peterson ranking. After further thought, I was wrong and you were right. How about that? I do think Carolina will go run-crazy with their QB situation, but it’s not like Zona has been terrible defensively. Foster has ran surprisingly well this year, but he fumbles too much and can’t catch the ball. I worry Brad Childress will give C. Taylor too many touches, but I hear ya, Peterson has huge potential and can’t be sat for a guy like DeShaun Foster. Please accept my apologies for my momentary lapse in judgment.

Chad – Like I said, if you’re looking for the safer option with the higher floor, go Garcia. Especially if it’s -2 for an INT – good point. Culpepper is definitely more turnover prone.
