Just heard that Willie Parker reinjured his knee in practice today and his status is uncertain for sunday. Yup. He didn't practice today. Reggie Bush also sat out practice today with a knee injury but the Saints expect him to play.

Looking like it's going to be a rough week for RBs.

Oh and next year if I say anything positive about Joseph Addai, feel free to smack me. The guy is a bum. if u have Dominic Rhodes u are still in the game. addai can never stay healthy... [/QUOTE]...how many games (if any) has Addai missed since coming into the NFL before this season?...does anyone here know?...SNAKE [/QUOTE]He'd missed one game the previous two seasons. But he was hurt in several others and has already been knocked out of two games this season. So missed games isn't always the end all and be all when it comes to determining a player's durability. [/QUOTE]...uh-huh...SNAKE is simply stating that the "injury tag" on someone should not be placed with recklessness especially an NFL RB playing 31 games and just missing 1 in his two year career which is rather impressive ISHO...he doesn't honestly deserve to be referred to as "never staying healthy", that's all...thanks much...SNAKE [/QUOTE]He has trouble staying healthy. That's a fact. Ahman Green was similar at times with the Packers. He'd start games but wouldn't finish him. From a fantasy perspective, that's a killer. Addai has serious durability issues. The number of missed games isn't the total answer when it comes to this situation. The fact he often comes out of games or can't finish games is a significant component that should not be overlooked. It is not something I will overlook with him going forward, that's for sure.

There's definitely a way to know that number if you owned Addai or wanted to keep track. For the record, Addai has had to come out of two games this season due to injury already. That's 33% of his games. That's a very concerning number when evaluating his durability.

OK gang, thanks for all of the questions this week. Fellow Addai owners, I feel your pain. On the bright side, Addai has been more of a RB2 this season so it won't be as tough to replace his production as it would be if he was producing like a Top 4 pick.

How's that for a glass is half full approach?

Good luck to everyone this week.

Big Ben vs. Rodgers this weekend.

In the 12 team format I selected Ben in the 4th round at the 11 spot and was more than happy to still see Rodgers there for me in the 12th round.

Luckily have had the foresight to have only played Ben in week 1 so far, opting to take the chance with Rodgers in week 2 against Detroit and have not considered going back until this weekend.

Even though I expect a high scoring game against IND I am thinking Ben may actually be the better play this week against CIN off the bye.

Would you go back to Ben this weekend or continue to ride the hot hand with Rodgers? I'm a little concerned one big hit from Freeney/Mathis could be trouble.

Hey Snake, here's hoping that Herm doesn't get all high and mighty on us and decide to discipline LJ and instead actually wakes up and realizes that LJ is the ONLY thing he has got going there in KC and gets him 25+ carries a game here on out.

This feast or famine with him is killing me!
