plus Moss always has great games against Dallas... he gets up for them... losing McNabb hurts him, but I think he can stil get 90 yards.

Which Flex player would you start? Mendenhall Larry Fitz Sidney Rice

agreed... my same thoughts

Nicks and Austin

12 team league Zona is gone... There are a few more D's out there... like the Titans, Texans, Jags, Skins and Vikings... that's it... everything is taken... I left these off because I dont have faith in any of them...

I have Bucs D... I don't think I can start them this week. Their D has been decimated with injuries. Heck, McNabb has his best outing of the year against them. and Torain ran crazy... Defenses that are available: Panthers D Colts D Saints D Bengals D Lions D Bills D Would I be crazy to start Bills D with the SuperBowl on the line? They have been doing well over the past few weeks and play Miami who gives a lot of points to opposing fantasy D's. The way to attack the Bills D is running the ball - they are dead last against stopping the run. But, they have the 4th best pass D. Miami has troubles of their own running the ball - they have struggle all year... and Henne is good a a turnover or two... Any thoughts/suggestions

Only players I have that I can put in our... Larry Fitz and Sidney Rice... any thoughts? I think Mendehall will at least get 6 points... may 40 or 50 running and another 10 to 20 receiving... with an upside of a TD He should be more involved in the passing game this week... It's a tough call...

Its a tad scary... esepcially since Vince Young is on the IR. Will their offense be able to control the clock and move the ball...?? I have Tenn DST as well. A bit nervous about the schedule and situation. I'm targeting Tampa DST to fill in for the playoffs.

thx. Tampa is available in my league so that's probably who I will pick up Det and Seattle at home. Atlanta scares me on the road.. escpecially since they end 3 straight road games in Seattle.

Best Team Defense for the FF playoffs, Which teams have favorable schedules?

Does anyone know what the extent of the injury to Corey Dillon was? Will it be nagging? Or is this another NE player injury mystery that will be kept on the DL all season?

steppin down.... How many chances will he get? Jack del Rio married this guy when he drafted him over other needs for the team. It's obvious that Garrard is the better QB there. Leftwich's problems of being a consistent fantasy stud stem at his inability to be mobile and only operate from a shotgun formation. Defenses can key up on him.

This is a huge blow for the Chiefs and LJ.... Look at everything that has happened to the Chiefs this offseason and the key personnel they lost: ###### Vermeil leaves (a players coach that they all loved) Al Saunders leaves to the Skins (the architect of that offense) Tony Richardson - their Pro Bowl Full Back - which was instrumental in the running game John Welbourn - the Right Tackle now... Roaf - one of the best Tackles ever in the NFL. Bring in Herm Edwards and his vanilla offense and style Trent Green's back side is now exposed. The Chiefs will have serious issues passing the ball. That will translate to more defenders in the box which will slow down LJ. They won't be able to rely on their bread and butter running on the left side. LJ won't have Richardson lead blocking and Roaf plowing down field and creating those holes How will Willie Shields hold up? It will be interesting to see what kind of season has if he lasts. He is old as dirt and only came back to play one more year because Roaf did. Now that Roaf backed out, I think Willie may give up at some point through the season... he definitely won't be going to the pro-bowl. The old saying in the NFL.... Tackles are tough to replace... you can always plug and play with Guards but not with tackles. LJ definitley needs to be downgraded - still a great fantasy RB, but not what everyone has been expecting. His TDs will go down significantly.

you guys are crazy... come back to this post in 4 to 5 weeks. THEY HAVE TO SHOWCASE RICKY. Ronnie Brown is the future, but they need to get value for Ricky in the off season. They can't get value for him if he does not get touches. It's just a matter of time before he gets those touches. HOW HARD IS THAT TO UNDERSTAND! That's why Saban brought him back. Not to split carries with their future (Brown), but to show the NFL that he can still play and GET VALUE out of him - either a player or draft picks to help THE FUTURE of this team.

That would not be wise to get rid of Ricky. I would try and get him from anyone that has him and stash him away (His value is low right now). He has been hit in the backfield on just about every run, so he hasn't had a chance to do much. Ricky is also the type of back that needs to get 20 plus touches. He doesn't get warmed up and a feel for the game until he gets 15 touches. It's just a matter of time before he becomes the fetured back. And it will be this year. It may come sooner or later if the Dolphisn keep loosing. They HAVE to showcase him to the NFL. They HAVE to trade him next year, and the only way to get value is to show owners and coaches that he still has it. And he does still have it. At some point in the season - maybe week 10 to 13, I see Ricky taking over the reigns and getting 25 touches per game.
