Players to Watch

You won't find your A-listers or untouchables here but whether you are looking for an injury replacement, a better back-up than what you have or just a little more production than what you are getting, you've come to the right place. The FF doctor is in to fix what ails your FF team....Let's go!

QB's:

J. Russell (Oakland) - Throw out his horrible outing Week 2 and he is not half bad.....keep him on your bench, for now. I think he may surprise a lot of folks the second half of the season.

J. Campbell (Washington) - He is certainly progressing well..,potential to be a Top 10 QB by the end of the season. Chris Cooley and Santana Moss are producing and the running game has been solid.

RB:

S. Slaton (HOU) - Though he only had 33 yards rushing, he had 83 yards receiving and has found the end zone the last 2 weeks.....you could do a lot worse (See Ryan Grant!)

WR's:

R. White (ATL) - Yes ATL! Even with a rookie QB, he has 209 receiving yards the past few weeks with 1 TD. A gamer!

D. Jackson (PHI) - I don't think he is available in many leagues, but if he is in yours or you can put a trade together, get him! Dude is a playmaker. (A few plays have been better than others but I digress...just get him!)

D. Bowe (KC) - Best WR on a bad team. A viable start week in, week out.

TE:

D. Keller (NYJ) - With Favre at the helm, he has found the end zone 2 weeks in a row!

Kicker:

M. Gramatica (NO) - Hey the Saints can throw up some seriouls points and move the ball effectively which all bodes well for Dramatica.

Defense:

Panthers and Saints - Both teams play fairly week offenses the rest of the way.....check it out!

Heros and Zeros Week Four

This weeks Heros and Zeros. Here we go!

RB's:

L. Johnson (KC) - 2 TD's, 198 yards
L.Tomlinson (SD) - 2 TD's, 106 yards (No mention until week 4? LT owners disapprove!)

M. Lynch (BUF) - 57 yards on 19 carries
MJD and Fred Taylor (JAX) - 57 yards on 17 carries - COMBINED!
R. Grant (GB) - ZERO OF THE DAY AWARD! 20 yards rush, -4 yards rec, and 1 fumble lost (yours truly is benching this dude until he shows me something!)

WR's:

TJ Houshmandzadeh (CIN) - 50 yards on 6 receptions (Your owners expect more dude, but I don't know if they should lower their expectations in this horrible offense. Is Marv Lewis next on the chopping block? Stay tuned..,)
A. Johnson (HOU) - 38 yards on 3 recpts (very Johnson unlike...)
D. Driver (GB) - THE OTHER BIG ZERO OF THE DAY!) 8 yards on 1 reception!

TE:

Ben Utecht (CIN) - 2 receptions for 10 yards....not enough!

K's:

N. Rackers (ARI) - 0 FG (1 blocked), 3 XP (at least he hit the chip shots!)

Jags - No turnovers
