You're making me feel all about my Leftwich WW acquisition this week...

[Perennial Contender 18]

No Chad Johnson? vs Green Bay at home? But TJ 7th? I'm sure it was an honest mistake

Hmmm...still no love for Rudi. And CJ nowhere in the top 20. Link to the rest not yet working, so I can't see where you have him, but I figure he's good for a score.

CJ is WAY down there.

[Dan 66]

Actually, I think the Chad Johnson omission was purposeful. Green Bay has consistently and effectively limited the #1 receiver. Given that TJ Houshmandzadeh is a very viable option in that case, it's very realistic that he will be the receiver with the bigger game.

 

Chad Johnson was virtually taken out of the game by Ike Taylor last week, so it is not inconceivable. Just my thoughts.

Acreed.

 

Though I still think the call on his TD catch was complete BS

[Mad Brad 0]

Dude get that humble pie made up and ready for Sunday... Chad Johnson is gonna biotch slap the GB Slackers so bad... He's gonna put 3 check marks up on "NO" in his locker after this week... Ainsley you need to contact me, I need some of the stuff your gettin for myself MB

[AlamoReg 1]

If your projections are right, I get my ass kicked this week - thanks!

[First and Long 0]

I agree. Ainsley, move L.Jordan and L.Tomlinson down in the rankings please!

[iamroboticus 0]

Well, I sure hope you know what you're talking about, Ainsley, as I have Lamont, LT, and Jimmy Smith - all high on your rankings. I'm counting on them to pull me through another Bulger-less week. Hopefully you're wrong about CJ, though I think it's a valid point other posters have been making about GB shutting down opposing teams' #1 WRs.

[Raistlin 0]

You have Boldin up there, but no Fitz? How can you tell which one's going to perform this week, flip a coin?

Not really, if that TD wouldn't of been called back, he would had a 100+ and a TD.

[Bad_Mo_focher 1]

Where is Steven Jackson on that list? Not even top-15?

Um.

 

The touchdown was called back, because he wasn't in bounds. But that really wasn't the point. 47 yards came on one catch on a drive that was played against the "prevent nothing" defense, when the outcome was already determined. I know, for fantasy you'll take that, but do you honestly think that Green Bay will be playing a prevent because they're up by 3 TDs?

[thejimlab 0]

No Santana Moss?

[FrankRizzo 0]

I unfortunately agree not having SJAX on the list .... I too think he might be in for a bad day against Jags.

[FrankRizzo 0]

I'm not sure why McNabb is always high on the list .. been very subaverage past few weeks. I probably will play Delhomme against Minn instead.

 

Either receivers are not getting open or McNabb isn't seeing the field very well (he sure does have a ton of time .. line playing well). He does throw a lot maybe giving enough opportunites to grant a high ranking.

I have him tossing 53 balls. That should answer your question.

Dan, you hit the nail right on the head.

17 Lewis,Greg

 

After the hit he took last Sunday...he might be afraid to even suit up this week!

[duece2626 0]

No Fitzgerald in the top 20 is a flawed list.

[mobb_deep 921]

Just wanted to pop in and acknowledge that you seem to have one of the more accurate projections out of the weekly projection crew.

 

Last week I thought you were wrong about Rod Smith and Brunnell. You ended up being spot on with Brunnell and pretty far off with Rod Smith.

 

This week however I think Rod Smith will have a good day against the Igg's and I really like your Jimmy Smith projection. He should have a huge day.

[AZGJC 0]

Agreed!

[Kellys Heroes 0]

I see DD with a 2 td day this week. Book it.

[Guest MUGS]

Nice job with picks, thus far

[idlewild 6]

Wow. Julius Jones at 6. I totally agree!

 

 

Seriously, are all the other lower ranked RBs that are actually going to PLAY just going to lose fumbles repeatedly?

 

 

 

JJ =  :bench:

[Bad_Mo_focher 1]

Jacksonville is much better against the pass than the run.....

Just ask the Steelers...

wow.. get away from the crack pipe when ur doing you projections.

 

NO CHAD JOHNSON?

NO TOM BRADY?

NO LARRY FITZGERALD?

 

LEFTWHICH AT #1??

 

DILLON MAY NOT EVEN PLAY

[ZeroTolerance 584]

If your projections are right, I get my ass kicked this week - thanks!

I agree. Ainsley, move L.Jordan and L.Tomlinson down in the rankings please!

Jordan lost his starting left guard. Does that help?

I'll eat my crow Sunday night if I am wrong.

Hey, your hat must have a hole in it. The pieces of paper with R. Moss, CJ, and Brady must have fallen out.

[Vols 0]

Any wideout can get shut down on any given Sunday. Just look at Boldin last week.

Ainsley: What makes you confident in JJ and Cadillac? Local talk radio here doesn't sound promising for the 'lac to play this week. Gruden's tone during his comments this afternoon sounded very dismal. Tuna didn't sound very positive about JJ playing this week either.

 

Props for going out on a limb. I hope you're wrong about Al Harris, though.

Injuries are what makes this so tough. Assuming they would play, this is where I rank them. Nobody in their right mind thought Moss was going to suit up last week and he still managed to haul in a TD. I make it a rule to give any player listed as questionable or better on the injury report the benefit of a doubt. I cannot discount a player simply because it is speculated he will not play.

If CJ finishes in the top 20 WRs this week, you can have my sig all of next week.

 

 

I get yours if CJ doesn't make the cut though
