11/20/2008 

Roddy White, Bryant Westbrook, Derrick Mason, Kellen Winslow, Arnaz Battle, Josh Morgan, Calvin Johnson, Bobby Wade, Fred Taylor, Mark Bradley, Tony Gonzalez, LenDale While, Brandon Jacobs, Clinton Portis, Antwaan Randel El nor Matt Hasselbeck practiced Wednesday.   Jacobs might be out Sunday.

With Earnest Graham’s injury, don’t have to tell you that Warrick Dunn will be the man.  But don’t go picking up Cadillac Willimas yet.  To read this and this, he’s might not be activated, let alone play.

Jason Whitlock of the Kansas City Star thinks that Tyler Thigpen’s recent success is due more to the offensive scheme, than his own devices.  So.  Thigpen’s been fantasy starter material the last four weeks.

In all the commotion around Steve Slayton’s 156 yard game Sunday, you may not have noticed that Ahman Green picked up two short yardage TDs.  Looks like thats the way it’ll be the rest of the season.

Washington fans are active and 20 Redskin players are leading the Pro Bowl fan balloting.  I’m all for making a mockery of the Pro Bowl, so have it, here’s the ballot.

Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em is updated for week twelve, as are the player rankings

11/18/2008 

Start ‘Em/Sit ‘Em is graded for Week Eleven action.  Not too bad, and no one sent nasty email about Justin Gage, yet.

The Roundtable was just added to the very prestigious fantasyfootballsearch.com web site.  They gave us a four out of five football review.  Nice.  Check 'em out and give the Table some dap.  

11/15/2008

Expect the Falcons to come out running Sunday.  The Broncos are ranked #27 against the run and give up and astonishing 5.1 yards per rush.  Turner should have a big game and Jerious Norwood might get some love.

Fantasy advice from the papers….

USA Today
LA Times – Start Brian Westbrook and Drew Brees?  You're crazy! 

There’s been a
correction in the official stats from the Monday night game.  A catch was taken away from Jason Hill and given to Isaac Bruce.  The details are at the bottom of this article.  Check it out if it would have affected your numbers from last week.

Note to everybody that picked up
Cadillac Williams: He won’t be active this week.

Is this the week that Roy Williams does something for fantasy owners?  He’ll get his first start and Romo’s back under center.  But you never wash off the Lions stink (see below) so we’ll wait and see.

If you’ve been a Roundtable reader all season, you may have figured out that yours truly is a Detroiter and a Lions hatea.  I’m not even a frustrated fan anymore; I gave up on this squad years ago.  In previewing this Sunday’s Panthers/Lions game, The Charlotte Observer and former Detroit Free Press writer Reid Creager
sums up the situation for his North Carolina readers. 

11/12/2008

Out of desperation, the Broncos signed Tatum Bell, you know, the guy with the new luggage.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he played and put up some fantasy numbers in the coming weeks.

Larry Johnson looks like he’ll play this week and New Orleans are going with third and fourth string CBs.  Is this a chance for the Chiefs to shine?  If you think so, I’d bet Tyler Thigpen and Mark Bradley are on your league’s waiver wire.

Derek Mason sounds like a game time decision for the Ravens.  He hurt his shoulder Sunday but was able to come back in, get a couple of yards and a 2 point conversion.  Either way, he’s a tough start.  The Giants D is tough and will get pressure on rookie QB Joe Flacco.

Ben Roethlisberger seems to be at full strength and should have a solid outing against the poor Chargers D.

This dude from the Dallas Morning News thinks Roy Williams will get more play with Tony Romo under center.  I’ll believe it when I see it.

Matt Hasselbeck is back, as is Deion Branch.  Arizona gives up a ton of passing yards and the most passing TDs so far this season.  Either is a play if you have them hanging around on your roster.

The Redskins have joined the list of clubs with multiple RB injuries.  If Poris can’t go, look for Shaun Alexander and/or Rock Cartwright.  Dallas rush D has been average at best this season, giving up 121 yards to Portis in their first meeting.  Wouldn’t recommend Alexander or Cartwright though as replacements.

It's the home play-off stretch in most leagues.  The Best of times and worst of times in Start 'Em/Sit 'Em last week.  The sits were the best ever; the starts, not so much, check out the grades and the Week 11 selections.  Player rankings are updated too.

11/8/2008

Steven Jackson’s out for sure; mystery man Kenneth Darby takes his place.  Don’t know much about this dude, hasn’t updated his myspace page since 2005.  What I do know is that you shouldn’t bother with Darby; the Jets rush D has been pretty bad ass this year.  

Reggie Bush is out again; still no word on McAllister’s possible suspension.  Throw out the games against JV squads Oakland and Detroit and the Falcons have given up 100 yard rushing games in four of their six varsity games.  I like McAllister to have another good game Sunday.

According to HC Sean Payton, Marquis Colston will have an “expanded” role Sunday.

Fantasy Crap from the papers…
AZ Central
San Francisco Chronicle
NOLA.com – Gotta disagree with the Culpepper pick though.
USA Today - USA Today has Willie Parker as a “stud”, a stud if you’re in a “Dudes That Aren’t Going to Play” league, Parker’s out this week.

All indications are that Rex Grossman will start against Tennessee.  The Titans haven’t given up much to opposing QBs this season, so even starting Orton was going to be tough here.  Don’t bother with Grossman.

If you feel that Kansas City’s #2 WR is a dependable fantasy option, looks like Mark Bradley has won the job.

He’re some insight on why the Cowboys have disappointed this year.

Ben Roethlisberger might play, Willie Parker won’t.  Mewelde Moore’s a start for sure.  I’d hold off on Ben (actually I am, as I’m an owner) and Leftwich.  With the fantasy playoffs looming, you’d have to risk Ben leaving the game early again.
