Lets see...where to start. People will be afraid to take Vick now due to his
injury and the fact he seems to have to heart. ALot of people thought he was
over rated to begin with. People want durable players with a top 30 pick,

stats are way below average. Barber is injury prone and will hit the bottom
next year. Henry....this just in.....McGaehee. Dillion is gone after this

Ha, Matt Hasselbeck is the number 4 player in all of fantasy football and
nobody in there right mind would pick  Johnson or Kitna, especially when
Carson Palmer will be the starter next year.

He is already the guy getting all the points when he is healthy and is
emerging as the number one guy.

Yeah but he will be moving up peoples charts due to potential.

CInny.

Ha! Dunn is too skinny and always hurt. Duckett will use this oppurtuinty to
take the job in the seasons final weeks with Dunn on the bench.

Bowl before.
