Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


Fantasy Football Week Five Open Games Thread

This is the Week Five Fantasy Football Open Game Thread.  Any observations from today's game will be posted here as I see them.  Random thoughts, incomplete sentences, whatever.  I did go with Titans' WR Brandon Jones rather than Falcons' WR Roddy White or the Bears' Muhsin Muhammad just as the voters asked.

I wanted to pick-up the Colts' Kenton Keith, but couldn't find any player I'd feel comfortable dropping.  I heard injury advisor Stephania Bell on Friday's "Rotowire Fantasy Sports Hour with Chris Liss" on XM Radio say that Addai's injury isn't that bad, and this week plus the bye next week should do it for him.  Why risk losing Dolphins WR Chris Chambers for one week of Keith?  Hopefully, those are not famous last words.

The team at ESPN will begin their Sunday NFL HQ chat at 10 AM and go until the 7PM.  If you're hoping for reassurance for the players you've started or not started maybe they can provide it.  Did a question-and-answer or a statement strike you as worthy of more discussion, bring it over.  I'll give my $0.02 USD or CAD.

WR Santana Moss
RB Laurence Maroney - did I metion the team who traded for Maureny and gave Johnson to the team playing em this week?
WR Anquan Boldin

Starting Sammie Morris, Antawn Randle-El and Larry Fitzgerald seem to be the logical reactions.

Texan RB Ahman Green is inactive.  Ron Dayne is a solid start now.

I picked-up Michael Pittman. Should I start him over Cedric Benson?  I think so as Pittman is a receiving option while Benson is not.

Which d is tougher to run against, Green bay's or a Bob Sanders-less Colts one?

Giants
Derrick Ward is starting.  Is that a third-round pick in Brandon Jacobs circling the bowl?

Oh Yeah
Even Ward ended-up OK in a PPR format. RBBCs suck for fantasy but look good for real footballs teams. Did you have Keith too?

I had to go with KK because they took my baby away
Yeah, I handcuffed Addai with Keith. It's gotta be nice to be a running back on a team with Peyton.

Big find of the week for me was the Washington D -- replaced Miami with them in both of my leagues.

Me, too!
I took the Skins Def in place of the Raiders.

Wow
Derrick Ward scores his first TD in the week that he was likely benched with the return of B Jacobs.

Santonio Holmes pulls a hammy and is out.

Brown
Raise your hand if you have Titans RB Chris Brown starting?  he scored a TD
