- Matt Hasselbeck appears to be returning to the starting lineup this week. While this is not really big news, I just thought I should say: DO NOT PICK UP MATT HASSELBECK. In his first four starts this season, he was an average of 14.5/29.5 for 164, with 2 touchdowns and 4 interceptions. His low completion percentage is due to a 17/41 effort against Buffalo, but even still, he did not post a 200+ yard game, and is not worth adding. His weapons are depleted, and he is still hurting. If you are in need of a quarterback, look elsewhere.
- Tatum Bell and Alex Haynes were signed by the Denver Broncos. Good to see Bell-Hop back on the field, eventually. Reports range whether Peyton Hillis, Haynes, or Bell will get the nod, but I suggest none of them to be added. If you are in dire need Hillis is the most versatile and experienced in my mind, so he's my suggestion.
- Tony Romo is expected to play this week against the Redskins. He should have a decent day (20/35, 250 yards, 2 tds, 1 int).
- Mike McKenzie of the Saints is done for the season. Yet another reason to start any QB or WR against the Saints.
- Nick Barnett of the Packers is done for the season. Anyone who has a chance to get some carries against Green Bay should be started.
- Steven Jackson is still considered Day-to-Day, and that is not promising. If he does go on Sunday, he won't be anywhere near 100%.
- Clinton Portis is dinged up. He did not practice yesterday or today, and there are different reasons why. He is harboring a knee and ankle injury. I expect him to play for two reasons. The first is that the Skins are playing Dallas. The second is that Portis should get tomorrow and Wednesday off, with limited workloads on Thursday and Friday. He should be good to go on Sunday.
- Kurt Warner is still the best damn quarterback around. After posting the second best QB of the week, Warner still leads the league in Completion Percentage, QB rating, and TD:INT ratio for QB's with 10+ TD's (3.2, 2nd to Jason Campbell with 4). He is also second in yards, third in yards per attempt. He has thrown a touchdown pass in every game this year, and 2 touchdown passes in every game except week 1. He also happens to be defense indifferent, shredding good (Carolina, Dallas, Washington) and bad defenses equally. (Yes Drew Brees and Jay Cutler, that is a shot to you) In addition to all of this, he has the best 1-2-3 punch at WR. Kurt Warner is the best damn quarterback in the league.
