I was really praying Torain would hold up and be special, that was my Ride into the playoffs, now I have to work for it.

+1

I've pretty much got a playoff berth locked up in my league but I was hoping he would provide some depth once I got there. I have Graham as my #2 RB and I look for him to drop off some. I dropped BGE for Torain a few weeks back and now I'm kicking myself.

As far as Bell, I'm not sure how good he's going to end up being but he's got to be better than Hillis I would think.

Damn, didn't see this post. I'm on it now though.

Looks like the top 3 RB's in my three leagues are Ricky Williams may be worth picking up against Oak (not sure who is on your waivers) and of course Pittman vs SF and I would say K. Smith, but he is too wishy washy for me. I think may pick up Williams just for the hell of it.

So we have:
VooDoo the enigneer
TechDawg M.D. and
wrlakers aka "Nostradamus with a sense of humor"...That about cover it?

oh, and Michael J Cocks "Hopeless Cowboy Fanatic" who thinks too much like me.

ETA:not too bad for a fantasy football board

That's a game even a mother couldn't watch. Plus, do we know who's starting for the Rams?

Not yet

And, even if we do know who's starting, does anyone care?

Not me

I have Ricky Williams sitting on my bench as insurance. I hope I never need to play him. It was nice though watching him and Mewelde (also on my bench) racking up the points this last week.

---

no doubt, even if WP does start,with the way MM has played, I feel pretty sure they will continue using him on 3rd down + a little "moore" hopefully.

BTW, Steelers say Parker is gonna start.

ah, did not hear that, I just heard it was basically still in the air.

Well, this is what is on cnnsi.com:

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Steelers running back Willie Parker will return to practice Wednesday, and coach Mike Tomlin is optimistic Parker will play Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.

Parker has played only once since spraining his knee Sept. 21 in Philadelphia, running for 70 yards in a Monday night win over the Washington Redskins on Nov. 3 in which he dislocated his shoulder.

"The shoulder popped out briefly during the course of the Redskins game and it popped back into place," Tomlin said, denying reports that Parker had a torn labrum. "Adrenaline or what have you didn't allow him to recognize it during the course of game. He came in (last) Tuesday, took a look at it and of course it was very painful."

Parker was leading the NFL in rushing last season before breaking his leg during the next-to-last regular season game in St. Louis. He has 333 yards and four touchdowns on 87 carries this season.

With rookie Rashard Mendenhall out for the season with a broken shoulder, Mewelde Moore has been Pittsburgh's featured back in three of the past four games. Although he has scored six touchdowns, the Steelers' rushing offense has struggled in recent weeks, totaling only 214 yards on the ground the past three games.

Hey, Dawg, don't think I didn't notice this

Also, Voo Doo, notice that they mention Moore struggling. He was limited to 57 or so yards on the ground this past week with another 40-something in the air. Against a pretty soft D, that's not saying much. I know the Chargers aren't the world's toughest D, but whose worse, Indy or San Diego?

check out my lineup this week:
QB
Jay Cutler @Atl
RB
Matt Forte @GB
Steve Slaton @Ind
Flex
Michael Turner vs Den
WR
Marques Colston @KC
Andre Johnson @Ind
TE
Chris Cooley vs Dal
D/ST
Dolphins vs Oak
K
David Akers @Cin

Bench
Aaron Rodgers vs Chi
Adrian Peterson @TB
Brett Favre @NE
Chris Chambers @Pit
Thomas Jones @NE
Derrick Mason @NYG
John Carlson vs Ari

Can you believe that this team is doing the worst out of all 4 pro and 1 college? BTW my college ff championship is this weekend but the other guy has one player tonight. Interested in giving your thoughts on my college one?

This is an impressive team. How many teams in the league? Can't be many. BTW, I can't believe you're going to bench Peterson in favor of Slaton and Forte. I think you may need to reconsider there.

I can't do the college because I don't know enough about the players outside the SEC and the Big 12. I don't know how you keep up with it.

It's not set in stone by any means. I am working on a Tony Gonzales trade and making some of my bench guys look like I am starting them. It is amazing to me that some people actually look at the lineup and would rather have a "starter" than a bunch guy

I actually put more time in my college league than my pro ones (except for the $ one). The college ff league is actually way more fun to me. You should try one

I was gonna pick up a free agent qb Tyler Thigpen{sp}. I am curious as to what yall think. I need to replce Edwards because of no points lately.

I was also gonna sit LT, no tds lately so little points. He is up against a good d this week so I don't see him scoring much. Plus i was reading that he is becoming worried as to the running game. He would not say specifics, that he wanted to keep it in house.
? He has doubts which gives me doubts.

Which fantasy TE should i pick up: Bo Scaife or Tony Shefflier
