San Diego is one of the worse pass defenses in the league, and Gordon is the Browns' biggest receiving threat.

Carson Palmer has inexplicably been playing well lately, but DHB is just way too inconsistent for me.

I really don't know what to think about Britt, he could go 150 and a TD or get 20 yards. Or get arrested on the drive over to the stadium.

I'd probably go with Gordon, gun to my head.

RB's I'd go with Dwyer. The Iggles' defense is for real and with Ryans in the middle they can handle big backs like Turner. I wouldn't be surprised to see Jacquizz (best name ever) Rodgers get a lot of playing time with the Falcons passing a lot after going down early (which I expect will happen before the inevitable Vick meltdown).

So I'd go Gordon/Dwyer, probably.

No love for Alex green against a putrid jags defense?

I weighed picking him up in one league, but he just seems like he's not any good and only gets yards late in games when defenses are tired of chasing the GB receivers. 3.1 ypc after 5 games is a big enough sample size for me to at least know he's not on my short list of emergency options.

Dwyer is going to start and get a lot of carries, and even though the Skins' run defense is good...he's basically their only real RB. I picked up Rainey in the 20-team league because my choices were between him and a bunch of fullbacks, but he's not capable of doing much of anything. Dwyer is going to get 20-25 touches most likely and he's a capable (if unspectacular) receiver out of the backfield. Rainey sucks at blocking, so Dwyer will probably see a lot of 3rd down time.

I know the Steelers almost as well as I know the Jets (product of my best friend and former roommate being as insane about Pitt as I am about the Jets, and our email correspondence about the two teams that is currently at 978 emails since Week 1), so I might be a big biased, but I think Dwyer outperforms Green.

[glennron]

I think Juggs said pick two RB's.

Personally I think I'd go with Dwyer and Green. Green hasn't been good, but Jacksonville's rush defense is awful and I'd have to imagine Green Bay will be running a decent amount in the second half. I could see like 20 carries for 60-70 yards with a decent shot for a touchdown. Can't really say the same for Turner and Stewart.

Oh, I misread that. I'd go Dwyer and then either Green or Turner.

Sang's a playoff team, so that is one blah team, sir.

You look at his roster lately? Muff cabbage yo.

I am thrilled that this league hinges on Vick not being benched. F*cking ay.

At least I'm rolling in my 3 paid leagues.

I am going to assume this is smack talk, but I have no idea what it means. Damn yankees and their foreign languages.

[Dave Maynar]

I would also like to point out, LD, that I have outscored you the last five weeks in a row.

I'm getting the job done, that's all that matters to me.

what i thought was my weakness at rb has become a strength since jennings is starting now and felix jones came back from the dead.

Jones had 19 yards last week and his day was only saved by a TD that any RB could have scored.

He has, at most, one week until Murray takes his job and all his touches away from him.

I can't believe I just saw someone use Felix Jones as support for his team's fantasy strength.

[Dave Maynar]

Things turn out like that sometimes. Heath Miller has 6 TDs this year as my back-up TE.

Heath Miller is good, though. Felix Jones has never been good, and will go back to that as soon as any other RB that can walk goes into the Cowgirls' locker room.

[sangreal]

i meant at least he's scoring some points now. now i have 3 rbs i can play and win with. earlier this year felix was putting up zeros, couldn't count on reggie bush and jennings was a backup. rb depth in the league is horrible and mine is not looking so bad now.

Good thing both of those guys will be back to the bench for the late-season fantasy push & playoffs.

[jakicker]

Sang. Flanz. It was a pleasure beating both of your last week. Good game. Good game.

[flanzo]

Whatever, bye weeks and injuries have ravaged me from first overall to 10th in 3 weeks.

I'll be back you f*cksticks, win this week and I'm back in the game.

Sang's going to lose.

[sangreal]

i've won 5 weeks in a row biznatches!

And that is where your streak stops.

I searched "this ends here" on google image search. This was the first result. It fits, I guess.

no chance.

[quacker]

All right I didn't biznatch at all when I lost by 1.50 points last week but losing this week by less than a point is really pissing me off.

[jakicker]

I literally do not have a QB for this week. I'm open for some trades, people
