Waiver rankings
Had a number of emails wishing me to rank the various running backs who are likely available on your waiver wire, so here goes.
1. Chris Brown
2. Derrick Ward
3. Michael Pittman
4. Selvin Young
5. Adrian Peterson
6. Sammy Morris
7. Kenton Keith
For Season Pass subscribers - First-look rankings are up. Everyone else's start or sit questions will be answered in Thursday's Goal Line Stand.
The new Fix is also up. I have so much I want to get to regarding Week 1, but forgot how much the regular season schedule would kick my ass (or at least ability to post everything I want.) Thanks for reading.
Comments
I am so psyched that the Redskins signed Reche Caldwell. I was really missing my weekly laugh when Gregg would slip an "eye contact from 60 yards away" comment into the player notes.

i would ditch warrick dunn, because he is old, declining, and playing for possibly the worst team in the league. and that's coming from a falcons fan.
Gregg, what do you think about Demetrius Williams? i drafted him in the last round of one of my drafts as my WR6 (i was right about Hester's draft position, he went in the 15th or before in all my leagues), and i'm wondering if i should trim the fat in my other leagues to add him. thoughts?

weird.

I can only carry 5 RB's...
Steven Jackson
Brandon Jacobs
Cadillac
Chester
Dunn
The Jacobs hype hurts me not to mention the other injuries. Should I drop Chester for Derrick Ward? Pittman? or drop Chester and Dunn for Ward and Pittman. I hate to have all backups, especially if Caddy plays and Eli is out. That would make both my pickups a killer for the season.

Can you please post your rankings for WR pickups?

Is Jesse Chatman [RB - MIA] NOT in your "top 7" because: (a) you don't expect him to continue to share carries with Ronnie Brown; or (b) you assume he's no longer available on most waiver wires?

I unforunately lost last week due to Caddillac and Jacobs getting hurt. Unfortunately I did not get my hands on Ward or Pittman during the draft. In a desperation move I traded Calvin Johnson and Crayton for Duece and Ward.
My top 2 WR's are Steve Smith -Car and Boldin while I have to rotate Curtis and Marshall in the 3 rd slot right now. With my new lineup I will plug in Duece as my no.2 after Gore and Freddy T or Ward as my Flex.
Do you think I did right by my team?
