As seen on TV

It's almost like ESPN is trying to make us more interested in next week's Monday nighter (Jets-Pats) than the rest of thegame tonight, which has revelaed that Derek Anderson has moved into Tyler Thigpen range and that Brian Westbrook appears to be the guy if Frank Gore misses any games (he is injured tonight).

Yesterday, I saw a few things of interest as well.

Let's just forget anything that was ever said about Rusty Smith in this space last week.  Thank God I didn't have a hunch.  I wouldn't be surprised to see Kerry Collins back next week.  He was active Sunday.

Peyton Hillis is old news.  What I cannot figure out however, is how the Browns can justify going away from the run after building a huge first half lead.  They turned 21-7 into 21-17 in a matter of seconds by allowing Delhomme to be himself.  Run the ball Cleveland.  By the way, if is wasn't for Evan Moore's fumble at the one, Hillis would have gone Abe Lincoln on us (four score?).

Mike Goodson has replaced DeAngelo Williams, which means of course that both he and Stewart lose much of their value.  I'm not expecting 250 total yards from the pair next week.

Toby Gerhart is going to be a top 10 option next week if AP can't go.  He looked good, and Buffalo is coming to the dome.

Another very pedestrian day for LaGarrette Blount.  He is not the long term answer there.  If you're in a keeper league and you aren't playoff bound.  Sell him while you have the chance.

Danario Alexander is back and he's the number one WR in St. Louis as long as he remains healthy.  He looked great.

Which reminds me.  I saw (or heard) the question asked this week about who should dynasty leaguers add now for the future that may be on the waiver wire?  The answers given were Kevin Kolb and Owen Daniels.  Really?  Owen Daniels?  Kolb?  I can find a mediocre tight end and quarterback any time.  In my game, we play upside.  That means the correct answers are Alexander, Tashard Choice, and Jacoby Jones.

I think Donald Driver is done.  Both James Jones and Jordy Nelson have passed Driver in Aaron Rodgers pecking order.  They are both more explosive.  Maybe I should cut Driver some slack with the injury...

It looks like the Giants number two WR is...Kevin Boss?  He targets (eight) doubled anyone else.  I still count Manningham as the one with Nicks and Smith sidelined.

Kyle Orton scores just an incredible number of garbage time fantasy points.

Courtesy of reader Kieron, we have the Deep Freeze.  Great, more reasons to stop the ascension of Jamaal Charles to leader of the free world.  Still, I'm happy to say, "Take that Thomas Jones!"  The Deep Freeze is on.

Cheers,
TFAM
