Rankings Changes
The Week 7 rankings were updated Friday evening. The changes usually come from injuries, but also more analysis that goes on throughout the week. Here were some of the changes.
QB: Tony Romo moves up to the top spot, Matt Hasselbeck inched up (putting up numbers despite poor play), Kyle Boller went down because his offensive line is a disaster. Brian Griese moved up, while Jay Cutler moved down some because of Javon Walker's injury. Byron Leftwich, Trent Dilfer, and Kurt Warner were all added to the list. I left Rattay on there too in case he starts.
RB: LaMont Jordan moved up after a healthy week, Thomas Jones moved up; Laurence Maroney moves up, although Kevin Faulk is a top-20 option if Maroney sits, Kenny Watson moved up, with Rudi going down, Lendale White moved up, with Chris Brown moving down.
WR: Javon Walker is off, Brandon Marshall is up, and Brandon Stokley is on the list (although not very high). Derek Hagan and Marty Booker get boosts from Chris Chambers' departure. The Cardinals receivers are down some. Marques Colston is down, Isaac Bruce is on the list, and Marques Hagans is off. Dennis Northcutt is down.
TE: LJ Smith is off, Alge Crumpler is off, Bo Scaife and Tony Scheffler are up.
Def: Bears are down slightly.
See you tomorrow morning on Fantasy Fix Live
Comments
Hey Gregg. What do you think are the chances that Maroney is active, but only as an emergency? Any chance he's active and Faulk gets all the carries unless he (Faulk) gets hurt? It seems like whether or not he's on the inactive list is being treated as a black and white determinant of Maroney having a big game or not playing, but I wouldn't put it past Belichick to further irritate fantasy owners with some secret stunt.

Hey Gregg, I have 3 must starts in my PPR Dynasty league in a must win game. Adrian Peterson, Reggie Bush, or Willie Parker? I need a QB who WON'T get me negative points this week, Brees or Kitna?

Hey Gregg, I have Adrian Peterson, Clinton Portis, Laurence Maroney, and Kevin Faulk along with Washington D and Dallas D. I want to play Maroney or Faulk just for their matchup and I am not sure about my defense either. I do know i hate playing my running backs opposing defense. What do you think?

Hey Gregg, which two would be the best starts in a PPR league...Colston, Marshall, or Bowe?

what, you guys can't follow the link in the freaking post and figure it out?
fine, here:
#2) Willie Parker
#7) Adrian Peterson
#9) Reggie Bush
#9) Drew Brees
#11) Jon Kitna
---------------------------
#7) Adrian Peterson
#11) Clinton Portis
#15) Laurence Maroney
#38) Kevin Faulk
#6) Cowboys
#8) Redskins
----------------------------
#17) Brandon Marshall
#23) Marques Colston
#24) Dwayne Bowe
----------------------------
you do the math. it's really easy.
ok so i know usually the rankings are 2 clicks away, which is just a preposterous amount of work for someone to have to do to have their fantasy lineup spelled out for them. but this week, these comments are in the article with a direct link to the freaking rankings. what the hell is wrong with you people?
in response to the only acceptable post on this thread, Tony, i think it's quite possible if not likely, Belichick being the fantasy-spiter that he is, i wouldn't even be surprised to see Heath Evans get a decent amount of carries. Faulk is no workhorse.

Trade question:
I've been offerred Donald Driver and Andre Davis for Donte Stallworth and DeShaun Foster in a PPR league (I'd be receiving Driver/Davis). Foster's not a starter for me, and we start 3 WRs plus a flex. What do you guys think?
