Who do you start this week?

Here we are at week 7, not even the half way point and this football stuff has me run down. As I sit here battling a cold I am also trying to figure out who to start at quarterback this week. Here is where I love the brain trusts at ESPN who tell us to start Peyton Manning, Eli MAnning, and Drew Breese.......

Well how about picking a starting quarterback out of this group: Who would you start this week in a 2 QB league along side Peyton Manning:
a) Tony Romo
b) JP Losman
c) Rex Grossman
d) Jim Sorgi

Fellow fantasy owners these are problems, I wish i could "start" Drew Brees like they say on ESPN, but like many other owners this week i am trying to figure out which "bum" to start who may get lucky and get some playing time. I decided to go with JP Losman, the man the Bills traded a #1 draft pick to the Dallas Cowboys for who cant pass Trent Edwards on the depth chart. Maybe Edwards will take another big hit today and have to go to JP. WISH ME LUCK!

Fantasty Football STOCK UP-STOCK DOWN

Week Five saw more injuries, which will allow rookies and younger players to see more action on the field.

STOCK UP:
1-Chris Johnson: He came into all drafts at a Hot Prospect and has lived up to the hype and earned the nickname of Chris "I score every week" Johnson. He will continue to take carries away from FatDale White and get more of the goal line carries.

2- Steve Breaston: He had 122 yards and was a key target for the high powered Cards offense, with Bolidn likley out in week 5, look for Breaston to see more action and is earning the trust of kurt Warner. Breaston should be picked up in all leagues.

3- Steve Slaton: Slaton was the focal point of the Texans running game and passing game showing ablility to catch passes out of the backfield. Look for Slaton to get 20 carries this week and several receptions out of the backfield. GO AFTER SLATON NOW....

STOCK DOWN:
1- Randy Moss: To no fault of his own, Randy Moss has be no better than a #3 Wr in fantasy leagues and with Matt Cassell inability to throw the ball down the field, it is time to try to get something for Randy Moss NOW before his stock drops evening more.

2- Hines Ward: The Steelers are getting torn apart with injuries and with NO running backs left, defenses will force the Steelers to run the ball and look to take away Hines Ward.

Week 4 Fantasy Football ALL STINK TEAM

The ALL Stink team represents NFL Players who "STUNK" in week 4. These are players who fantasy owners look for a lot more from.

We all heard of the All Pro team, well the ALL STINK team is a group of solid players who did nothing to help their fantasy teams win and either make fantasy owners either drink or go gray or both because they STUNK ON SUNDAY!!!

Quarterback: Derek Anderson
Well this was an easy choice, I own Derek Anderson in multiple league and the guy has shown nothing and its only a matter of time before the Brady Quinn era begins in Cleveland. For those of you who own DA, its time to cut him lose and look for other options. You are better off with Ryan Fitzpatrick starting for you at the QB positions.

Running Backs: Felix Jones and Chester Taylor
This was another easy selection for week 4, after reading about how the Cowboys were going to get Felix Jones more touches he not only didn't carry the ball on Sunday but he did not even catch a pass. Felix is a risky start for the rest of the season as long as Marion Barber is healthy.

Chester Taylor is another "stinker" in week 4 with one carry for zero yards and no catches. With Adrian Peterson a little banged up fantasy owners thought "Chester the Molester" would get more carries but once again let owners done. I would not use Chester Taylor unless AP is ruled OUT.

Wide Receiver: Andre Johnson
Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans had 3 catches for 38 yards on Sunday vs Jacksonville. If you would have told me that the Texans would score 27 points and pass for over 300 yards and Andre Johnson would only have 3 catches for 38 yards I would have said you are NUTS!!! However, that is exactly what happened. Fantasy owners need more out of Andre Johnson and I am predicting we wont see AJ on the ALL STINK TEAM anymore this year.

Should you trade Randy Moss for Clinton Portis?
