Be careful, Hasselbeck is coming off a huge game which is why he is ranked
so high.  I've had him + farve all year in my keeper league and both of them
have been very up and down.  I don't think hasslebeck is a top 30 QB unless
he lights it up for the rest of the year.

No one is going to draft a RB that splits carries in the top 30.

He might crack the top 30, but you don't draft on potential in the first 3
rounds.

A lot of this depends on how many people are in your league.  Assuming 10
people, the only WR's that should go top 30 are Holt, Randy Moss, Terell
Ownes, Marvin Harrison, Hines Ward, Chad Johnson.

Dunn isn't always hurt AFAIK.  He's injured now, but he doesn't seem to get
injured as much as some injury prone players (ie faulk)

Where??????

He's got 6 and not a lot of yardage.  He isn't going top 30

He's damn good, but he isn't a top 30 pick in fantasy football.  Now, if you
were starting a football team in the NFL tomorrow then he would be top 30.
It's one of those things in Fantasy football that doesn't work out to the
real world, running QB's are more valuable in FF.
