My other RBs are R. Rice & L. McCoy and WRs are M. Colston & S Rice. Will answer yours leave a link.

Philly fans are loyal to their teams because they are like family. We're not always happy with them but we always love them. Why is it relevant how many championships they've won? If the USA doesn't win gold in the Olympics we don't suddenly start rooting for the Russians.

Against such a weak defense this week it would appear that Tampa's RB could have a nice day. Do you think Bennett will take very many touches from Graham or are they going to give him a week or two to get acclimated?

Eagle homer and Curtis owner here. Curtis hasn't been a starter for me yet this year but I'm thinking about trading one of my starting WR for a RB after last week. I don't think I'm overreacting. The first 2 weeks McNabb played as badly as he ever has and Curtis' numbers were still respectable. If McNabb is back in form (based on the 4th quarter of Mon night and the Lion's game) then his Curtis' stock skyrockets. I obviously don't expect 200 yds every week but McNabb looks his way all the time and the Eagles are always going to pass the ball. I don't think it's crazy to think he puts up Stallworth type numbers but projected over a full injury free season. If that's the case then he will be a very nice #2 WR.

Peterson was a top 5 draft pick and the 1st RB taken in the draft. He more than fulfilled any expectations the Vikings have for him in week 1. How long do you think they are going to stay with RBBC? I'll wager that Peterson outscores E. James this year. Randy Moss while extemely talented is an injury risk every year. If he stays healthy he is probably only a slight upgrade to Walker. I think you'll regret this and I don't think we'll have to wait 'til week 7 for that to become obvious.

It's my first year playing with a flex and I'm leaning towards Plaxico, but I'm not sure if RB is a safer play. Will help with yours.

I think I would go with Jake. The Panthers will need to score some points to keep up with the Rams. I don't like the Rivers matchup and I'm not a big fan of Mcnair as a fantasy QB.

Our league added a flex position this year and while I understand that you'd obviously play the better player I was just curious if anybody out there with a league that uses a flex had found that one postion tends to consistently outscore the other. Based on the rosters in my league it appears everybody feels a 3rd RB is better than a WR.

Amen

I've heard only positive things so far this week. Swelling has remained down thus far, however it seems this a day to day type of situation. What did you give up for him?

Pure RB, maybe. Weapon at the RB position...Westbrook. Defensive coordinators have to game around him in so many ways it's ridiculous.

Until they get their azz kicked next week in Philly.

CBS Sportsline: Eagles WR Donte Stallworth (hamstring) practiced for the first time this week on Friday in preparation for the team's Week 4 game vs. Green Bay. Stallworth missed Week 3 after suffering spasms in his hamstring.

Orthotics are like arches in your shoes. Apparently he felt the foot problem that kept him out the preseason was due to his spikes not giving enough support and that he had solved the problem by going with a heavier sole thet provided more support. I suppose this could cause a problem with your knee.

It's goin' back aways but I drafted Marshal Faulk fairly early his rookie year. 1800 total yds 12 tds

Houston beats Wash

CBS SPORTSLINE News: Eagles RB Brian Westbrook missed practice Wednesday because of a sore knee and is questionable for the Week 3 game at the 49ers. Westbrook missed practice last week because of swelling in his knee, but did play in Philadelphia's loss to the New York Giants in overtime. Guess it's gonna be weekly thing

While I don't know about them owning the Eagles this game is certainly not the gimme it appeared to be before the season began. Especially considering the emotional loss to giants.

I think 80 receptions is about right but based on his speed and career ypr I think he'll get closer to 1200 yds. 9-10 TDs is very realistic based on McNabbs play and the way the Eagles throw the ball. Patsfan39, are you in keeper league? You've got quite a few 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round choices in your lineup.

I have Buckhalter as the handcuff but I'm not quite sure that if Westbrook doesn't play that Moats doesn't come in and take over his role. Granted Buckhalter's role would be increased but Moats would take Westbrooks place. I live outside Philly and am an Eagles fan so I pay pretty close attention and I'm pretty sure that's the way it would go down. I just can't bring myself to use 2 roster spots on handcuffs for one guy that may end up in a RBBC.
