    Benjarvus Green-Ellis has officially taken over for Chris Fuamatu-Ma’ Afala as the most enjoyable name to say in in the NFL.

    Here’s what I’ve come up with so far in an attempt to beat Chris Berman to the punch…

    Benjarvus “Bowling” Green-Ellis

    Benjarvus “Going” Green-Ellis

    Benjarvus “Walker” Green-Ellis

    Benjarvus “Moore” Green-Ellis

    Lol, funny stuff, Brett.

    Hey Dalton, am I forced to start Chad Johnson this week, with my options limited to Calvin Johnson, Ocho and Josh Morgan? I have Breaston on the bench for now, and the wire includes guys like L.Moore, A.Bryant – he tricked his first big game – and Donnie Avery. What would DDD do? Thanks.

    And what type of offer would it take to get Larry Fitz? My backs are loaded, with MB3, Lynch, Slaton, McGahee, Fargas, but no one’s biting on Slaton (Roddy White owner rejected Driver/Slaton package). Maybe I’ll try and dump Lynch?

    Are you a fan of fantasy basketball leagues, never read if that’s one of your interests.
    Take care, gl this weekend with the picks!

    Do u think Schaub is work breaking up my Warner/Fitzgerald power play this week? And also I have 2 RB spots for the 2 Titans backs and MJD, my instinct is to go with MJD and Johnson, and keep LenDale on the bench, but I am certainly interested in ur opinion.

    PS Matt, I would do a BBall league with u, and 3D if he wants in, let me know…

    Brett – Nice work. Let’s see if Berman can top it. Or copy it.

    Matt – I later realized I accidentally omitted Johnson, would have probably put him in the 25ish range. He’s been scoring some, and that Houston secondary is bad. I’d go with the three you have.

    Try to unload Lynch. Even with his easy sked, that 3.5 YPC is bad.

    Yes, I play fantasy basketball. There will be some links on this site soon to blogs I post on NBA.com. I’ll pick up the coverage soon.

    Kritter – I’d go with Schaub, but Warner is def. tough to sit. Carolina’s secondary has been awesome. I’d go with Johnson and MJD as your backs for sure.

    Peyton so high vs tenn?

    Where is my bff, cedric benson. He is vs Hou, that should be worth something.

    Not that I have him in any of my leagues, but doesn’t Thomas Jones almost have to be a top-tier option by default? My own matrix of top backs going something like:

    1. Any ambulatory humanoid playing running back against the Kansas City Chiefs
    2. Everyone else
    86,001: Chris Perry

    DDD, if u and Matt want to do a Fantasy BBall league, please let me know where and when and if I can, I will join up…

    Donald – I certainly worry about Peyton’s matchup, but no one else really jumped out in that tier. Warner’s matchup is almost as tough on paper. I guess I should have moved Big Ben up more. I hear you, but who of those would you for sure play over Peyton?

    I totally didn’t mean to leave Benson off, that was an oversight. I’d probably slot him at the end of tier 3.

    Dreamweapon – Well stated. Tough to argue with that.

    Kritter – I’ll def. let you know if I do another league, but I think I’m maxed out at this point.

    hey dalton, where does m.moore fit into your running back rankings, ahead of willie parker?

    B/c he catches passes and they are facing a good run defense, yes, I actually would rank M. Moore as a better start than if W. Parker were playing. I’d put Moore in at #13, right ahead of Jacobs.

    Dalton, I’m having a very hard time deciding which two receivers I should use to beat you with today, and you did me no favors by ranking my 4 choices all between 15-20. This might be time for an actual coin flip.

    I’m surprised you are that high on Moore. The Giants did a pretty good number on Gore last week, so I was feeling prettty good about sitting him, starting R.Brown, Turner, and J.Lewis instead…but maybe I’ll reconsider him instead of Jamal since he does catch a lot of passes.
