  • Times They Are A Changin’ Let’s take a look at the multitude of changes occurring amongst NFL teams after week 7.

    In Kansas City you have the “THUG” Larry Johnson twittering his way off of his teams roster. Maybe he hasn’t beaten enough women lately and it’s getting to him? It would be so sweet if NFL teams banded together and blacklisted this ungrateful use to be from the NFL forever. On the upside Haley is making way for the second year back Jamaal Charles. He is a nice pick up as a bye week replacement or stash guy.

    Tedd Ginn Jr. is officially back in Bill Parcell’s doghouse. Ginn is to see reduced playing time moving forward. Coach Tony Sparano has said on record that rookie Brian Hartline “merits playing more.” My question is will Brian Hartline be the guy or will Greg Camarillo sneak in there the way he did last year?

    Now that Chris Cooley has been ruled out for at least 4 weeks Fred Davis will be taking over his starting role. The second year tight end out of USC played well against the Eagles in week 7 when Cooley left the game. The knock against Davis is that he isn’t a great blocker. So maybe he won’t be playing every down? But he is an excellent receiving tight end. Washington’s offense has looked pathetic at times this year struggling to get the ball down field. A short passing game serves them well.

    Brian Westbrook is more than likely to miss week 8. His backup LeSean McCoy is a talented rookie. The Eagles need to run the ball in order for their offense to be effective. They didn’t commit to the run in week 6 and lost uh-hummmm LOST to the Oakland Raiders! I rest my case.

    Is Vince Young going to be the Titans starter coming out of their week 7 bye? Owner Bud Adams is supposedly pulling for him to get the start over Collins come week 8. Does this one even make much of a difference? Certainly not fantasy wise unless you planned on starting JaMarcus Russell this week.



    Does Al Davis really have that big of a man crush on JaMarcus Russell? I think so! Otherwise Tom Cable would have been fired by now. Let’s take a look at Mr. (I don’t belong in the NFL) Russell’s stats through 7 weeks. He has amassed an amazing 891 passing yards. That would be an average of 127 yards a game! His completion % is a mind blowing 46.3%! He has thrown for a deplorable 2 TD’s and 8…….8 INT’s! I guess there isn’t any need for change here?

    Norv Turner hinted Malcolm Floyd will be cutting into Chris Chambers playing time. Malcolm’s big at 6’5” 225 pounds. If he plays enough I believe he’ll put up solid fantasy numbers. The strength of this team is their passing game. I like this guy as a wide receiver 4 or 5.

  • Armchair Picks As we have settled in and seen what most NFL teams are now capable of, lets look at some good last minute bets for Sunday's action.

    Detroit at Green Bay - - 14 points - Take the Lions and the points. Even without Stafford, the Packers have not been running away from teams and tend to play to the level of their opponents. The game should be closer than most think.

    Baltimore at Minnesota - 3 points - Take the Ravens and the points this week. The Ravens are a good team and the Vikings are prime for a let down. This is the toughest competition the Vikings have faced thus far, as well as the toughest run defense. Look for Favre turnovers, and an easy win for the Ravens.

    Chicago at Atlanta - 3.5 points - The Falcons giving 3.5 should be no problem in this NFC matchup. Too many weapons on a superior offense should have no problem pulling away from the Bears average Defense in the second half.

    Philadelphia at Oakland - 14 points - If you don't htink the Eagles should win this one by 20 plus you probably are painting your face Balck and Silver and still have some committment to excellence you are working on. Take the Eagles. This one should be in over by mid second quarter.

    Remember if you do follow our advice, remember to tell your friends that you heard it from a couple of idiots!

    Good Luck

  • Must Starts Desean Jackson, Michael Westbrook, Brent Celek, & Donovan McNabb are all great options this week going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense! Philly’s players are going to put up worthy fantasy numbers this week.



    Jerome Harrison is the best option in Cleveland’s backfield moving forward. He’s the most versatile back they have. Look for him to post nice numbers this week going against the Buffalo Bills.



    Brandon Jacobs & Ahmad Bradshaw. Brandon Jacobs is a no brainer. Ahmad Bradshaw is ideal in a flex position this week. The Giants will build a decent enough lead early enabling them to run the ball and kill the clock. If Eli doesn’t play these backs become even more valuable
