Skinny Posts: Hanging Brad
1. Terrible news for Terrell Owens and Roy Williams owners: Tony Romo is out another week. Maybe two. Against a primed Bucs defense, the Dallas wide receivers turn mediocre.
2. We may remember that 41-7 Patriots win over Denver as the day the Broncos bubble burst. Boss Bailey is out for the year, Champ Bailey is out for 4-6 weeks, they lost their backup right tackle, and their backup quarterback. 9-7 could win the AFC West. How easy are the Broncos going to be to pass on now?
3. Instead of embedding my waiver video and 100K pics this week, I'm going to send you to NBC's fancy new Fantasy Fix homepage. Check it out because someone went to the trouble of making it.
4. News on Ryan Torain's recovery. He should play after the Broncos bye, but he'll only grow into a fantasy-worthy role by proving he can do it on the field. Andre Hall may have blown his last chance to make an impact.
5. FootballOutsiders' numbers still have the Eagles as the number two team in the NFL. Usually their rankings that don't matchup with W/L do match up by the end of the season. The Patriots and Broncos are ranked 22 and 23 despite a combined record of 8-5. Their Audibles at the Line is always worth a read.
6. Mike Lombardi, always worth a daily read, gets philosophical. Lombardi doesn't think the Kellen Winslow suspension will hold up.
7. Chris Wesseling previews his rising/falling dynasty values that wind up in Season Pass.
8. Watch as I jinx my chances of keeping my spread-picking magic alive.

Damn, the secret is out on footballoutsiders Audibles.
Don't tell them about the Black and Blue column, which once a week provides pretty good pre-waiver deadline insight into injuries. It isn't the up to the minute updates you get here, but it provides a little more fast insight before news becomes official.

I know the rankings should be out in the next day or so but I have a WR question. Got TO, Santana Moss, Calvin Johnson, Colston and Coles on my roster. Should I bench TO? I'm thinking of rolling with Megatron/Santana/Colston.
