Smokin'!!

I agree that Ryan Moats has very little chance at a bright future. He hasn't shown much in Philly or even now in Houston. I don't know that Marcus Mason with the Jets will get an opportunity barring an injury to Thomas Jones or Leon Washington.

I am in a 20 man deep dynasty league with several potential good RBs on the waiver wire. The ones that I like the most are De De Dorsey, Kregg Lumpkin, Marcus Mason, Ryan Moats, Kolby Smith and Danny Ware. Obviously none of these guys are super-studs, but who has a chance to be an RB2 for next year and possibly more in the future. My assessment of these guys follows; De De Dorsey - He has more "burst" than any of the other RBs currently on the roster. Benson and Perry are not the future in Cincinnatti. Kregg Lumpkin - Grant is not the same as he was last year and seems to be constantly dinged up. B-Jax still can not pick up blitzes. Opening for Lumpy? Marcus Mason - Had a great pre-season. But will he get a chance to play for the Jets? He has a lot of talent but they may draft their future RB. Ryan Moats - Current #2 RB in Houston. Maybe he will continue to impress and get more playing time next year. Kolby Smith - Is he still the heir-apparent in KC? Will his knee injury allow him to come back and compete? Or has Jamaal Charles taken over as the #2 in KC? Danny Ware - He will most likely be the RB3 next year for the Giants. He seems to have a lot of talent but will be way down on the depth chart. Which 2 or 3 RBs do you guys like the best for next year and beyond? Thanks.

Any Miami homers or anyone else with any thoughts?

There is a lot of talk about how well Chad Pennington is doing this year in Miami. I think that he deserves a lot of credit because he came in late and learned their system and has been instrumental in Miami's resurgence this season. His "rag arm" has not been much of a factor recently. I even read something about how he was statistically the best QB in the league for the month of October. With that said, is there a chance that Chad Henne could be the starter in 2009? He has done well in practice and in his brief outing in week 2 I believe. He has to be thought of as the future starter at QB. I just wonder when he will get a realistic shot. Any chance that Pennington gets released in the off season? Any thoughts and/or discussion is welcome.

Thanks Grizzly, but that was not what I was hoping for. The link that you provided breaks it down by each position. Is there a site that offers overall offensive rankings? For example, the D/STs for StL, Cle and Oakland are on the ww. I would like to know the current offensive ranking for all of the NFL teams to see which of these ww D/STs might be the better pick up for atleast spot starts for the remainder of the season.

I am trying to compare some of the ww D/STs that are available in some of the leagues that I am in with the Offenses that they will be playing in the coming weeks. Updated info is critical for this. I do not want a D/STs' season average. It is much more important to look at how a D/ST has done over the last 3-4 weeks instead of using their season-long stat line. If there is a weely updated ranking of the Offenses that we could compare with recent stats for D/STs, that would give us ome very useull information going forward!

How serious is Jennings' hamstring issues? Would it be beneficial to pick up Ruvell Martin off of the waiver wire?

Actualy, Ashley Lelie is the back up to DJax. That would make him either the #3 or #4 WR on the team. With DJax and his bum knees and his lingering turf-toe, Lelie might be worth a roster spot in deep leagues.

I am torn between Fred, Marshawn Lynch or Norwood as my RB2...

The latest that I have read is that he is behind both Droughns and Ward. However, I think he will get a chance to showcase his skills as the season goes on.

Thanks Bentley, that was a very concise report! I was able to pick up Keith in my deep dynasty league.

Does anybody have the scoop on Kenton Keith? I would assume that he will likely remain the primary back-up to Addai since we went all the way through TC with the Colts... I certainly didn't see this coming. I bet Dorsey didn't either What kind of value does Keith have?

Not a Saints homer, but I wouldn't bother with Patten. I can't see ever starting him even as a WR3 during a bye week. Maybe if you have a list of other ww fodder you could post and we could give you ideas...

I just got Brandon Jacobs in the 3rd round of a 12 team re-draft. I am VERY happy

I thought I read somewhere a couple of days ago that Kevin Jones will not start the season on the PUP. Did anyone else see this or did I halucinate it? What would Jones being active mean for Tatum Bell's value? I had Tatum Bell targeted for the 6th round in a non-PPR redraft. How far would this drop Tatum? Any info/thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
