Sunday 2-minute drill

Some last second news and advice…

Probable – Donovan McNabb, Cedrick Benson, Matt Hasslebeck, Brett Favre, Derrick Ward

Questionable - Jericoh Cotchery, Eli Manning, Steve Breaston, Wes Welker, Joseph Addai, Jamal Lewis

Out – Willie Parker, Roy Williams, Felix Jones, Darren McFadden, Correll Buckhalter, Fred Taylor


Game day notes:

Knowshon Moreno – Correll Buckhalter is out. Moreno to get a ton of carries against a soft New England run defense.

Jason Witten – Typically a must-start but fantasy owners are disappointed in his production. So are Cowboy fans and media. With Dallas getting a lot of pressure to involve Witten in the offense (and with Roy Williams out), look for Tony Romo and Witten to reconnect.

Cleveland offense – Jerome Harrison will start in place of Jamal Lewis. I like the rest of the offense too with Derek Anderson at the helm. Anderson is a decent start with the bye weeks, and rookie Mohamed Massoquoi has staying power, and likely to be Anderson’s favorite target.

Mewelde Moore – While Rashard Mendenhall will take Parker’s place as the starter, Moore is a decent start if you're team is benching a lot of RBs. He's likely to get more looks/touches than last week.

Joe Flacco – Continues to grow into the QB role. Increasing pass production makes him a must-start. Have two must-start QBs? Get through the bye weeks and trade one.

New England running backs – Even with Fred Taylor out, there’s still no clear No. 1 guy here. I don’t like any of them. Run game stinks, so divide that by three and it’s even worse for fantasy owners.

Matt Jackson to guest host Jim Rome’s show Monday

Congratulations to Sports Radio 610 afternoon host Matt Jackson for landing the fill-in role on Monday as Jim Rome celebrates Columbus Day (???). As my fantasy baseball partner, Matt and I sweated out a second-place finish this season. We’re still very disappointed we didn’t win it all. Check out the show from 11:00 a.m. – 2 p.m. CST on Sports Radio 610.


With the Texans afternoon game today, there's no fantasy segment on the pre-game show. Have a last-second question? E-mail Erin at erskelley@yahoo.com.
