I'd go Flacco and Falcons D. Titans offense is nothing to write home about, whereas Detroit can surprise.

Hope you went with nalto's advice re: Chiefs defense. I live in Kansas City, and it is bad here right now. Jamaal Charles was my top running back on FFB team  |

Both D's got torched. I've got KC's D as my backup to the Steelers D. I'll be dropping KC's D and looking for a replacement. I'm second on the waiver wire this week. I'm gonna try to pick up both of KC's RB's. McKluster (sp?) will be my first choice, Thomas Jones second. They're both available.

Nalto,
I think KC and Seattle are going to be in a very tight race to the #1 pick in the draft (and presumably Andrew Luck).
Agreed, Jackson is quite a bit worse than Cassell.

Don't forget about the Colts. Who knows if Manning is coming back. Call me crazy, but I'm not 100% sold on Luck. Not that I wouldn't draft him, or be thrilled to have him, but something about "sure things" worries me...Ryan Leaf? I won't be surprised when he is the sure thing, but still. |

nalto-I agree with you with Luck. The one thing he does have going for him is that Jim Harbaugh was his coach.

I am pretty sure Luck's dad would put a foot to his ass if he acted like Ryan Leaf ever did. His dad's the AD at WVU he's a great guy, crazy smart got a law degree while he was playing for the Oilers. I think the kid's got a good head on his shoulders and he doesn't have the pressure some of those guys do to get a big paycheck and support their families.

The QB from Boise State doesn't seem to be doing too badly either.

This is a brag post (feel free to skip)
I have the only 4-0 team in our 12 team fantasy league. I got lucky in that we have a lot of novices, and they all seemed to have later draft picks than me (yes, that actually matters) because we do a snake draft. I drafted 6th
Rd 1: Aaron Rodgers (he would have been my first pick, if available, regardless of where I fell in the draft order)
Rd 2: Darren McFadden (this is where it matters that the novices were all after me inthe first round and before me in the second- he wasn't even the "best" RB left, but I'm a Raiders fan)
Rd 3: Fred Jackson (the Bills- who knew?)
Our teams are: QB, RB, RB/WR, WR, TE, D, K
I don't actually think it matters if any of my other players score or not. If I were to go back and look, I think I've won every week based on these three.
I do have Steve Smith(1.0) as my WR, and Cam Newton as my back up.
I actually feel kind of bad about having Cam. With the numbers he's been putting up, he's better than a lot of people's starting QBs.
This last week was the first time I had the highest score in our whole league, though. 53 from Rodgers accountded for half of it (and almost beat my opponent on his own- person had 55 points total- played Flacco instead of Romo- I still would have won, but it wouldn't have looked quite so awful).
I found this extra funny because on Friday, I was talking with a guy in a PPR league who was showing off that Wes Welker was worth 51 points in week 3. My league doesn't even do bonus points for yards on QBs and Rodgers outscored him.
Every time I talk to DH about how we're doing in the league, he comments "And this is why we won't ever get invited to poker"

I lied. I checked the draft review this weekend. I got Fred Jackson in Rd 6!
We did barely pull out a win this weekend to be 5-0. Darren McFadden didn't have a great game and we were really evenly matched against our opponent. Luckily, Rodgers was 3 points better than Brees, and we won by 2 points.

Forte, Hester, Rodgers and Jordy Nelson = my fantasy team is 5-1.

Now 7-0, even with McFadden not scoring a single point for me yesterday and Fred Jackson out on a bye week. Rodgers had a good game and Marques Colston and Steve Smith pulled in some points for me, too.
Of course it helps that my opponent apparently forgot to check his line up, so his main RB is actually out injured this week, too.

Andre Johnson is out another week it looks like...hopefully the rest of my players can help me pull out the win.
