I've been busy today with a few things, especially working on a look ahead to the fantasy playoffs that we'll post tomorrow along with the weekly rankings. I'd love to have the posts more consistent during the season, but it's probably not going to happen unless I can create some more hours in the day. Consider that a warning. I'm going to wind up blogging quite a bit more in the offseason ... when there's less to write about it. Although that's never a problem with me.

While I'm here, let's answer some of the comments from the blog this week.
NJ Dude asks Where would you rank Chris Henry (Cin) or DJ Hackett in your list of pickups?
I'd put Hackett first, Henry behind Holmes. I wouldn't adjust Holmes' value that much just because of the LJ news. That answers gth617's question as well. If the Chiefs pick up anyone, I doubt he'll make a big impact. I'd guess they'll bring up Marcus O'Keith, who looked good in training camp.
Barth asks the important question: Grant or Fargas?
Tough call, but my gut says Grant. He's on a better offense and has worse competition.
Stefan asks whether he should go for Schaub or Kellen Clemens.
Overall, Schaub is the pick. But looking at the fantasy playoffs, I rank Houston's passing schedule as the toughest. So Clemens is better if you'll need someone then.
Greg asks What do you see happening in Tampa Bay with Graham and Pittman? I was offered a trade in which I would get these 2 but I am hesitant to do it if it is going to be a straight split. Any insight?
I think Gruden will ride Graham as the lead back as long as he lasts, with Pittman getting about 1/3 the snaps as a receiving threat. It threatens to evolve to be a closer split like Thomas Jones and Pittman did in their Championship season. I'm not sure Graham will last that long because of his size and inexperience.

Gregg, Javon Walker was dropped in our league some while back after he got injured. I've just gambled this weekend and picked him up to store on my bench now my bye weeks are out of the way.
Is this a good pick up or am I just kidding myself? IS he likely to be back and where would you rate him?
cheers

To follow up Gary's question, Walker was dropped in my league. My wides are Harrison, Coles, Hackett and Crayton. Looking ahead to playoffs and hope to exploit matchups with a flex WR. Should I drop one of my wides for Walker? Thanks.

I don't see the harm in picking up Walker and stashing him away if you have the room.
Having to drop Patrick Crayton for Walker in my view constitutes "having room"
Although Evans has been on a tear recenlty, I can't see benching any of the other three options this week in favor of him. It's a good problem to have.
