And Alex, I agree about Rudi vs. Watson. The thing is, though, Rudi isn't healthy and doesn't appear to be getting healthy anytime soon. And Watson's next in line. Dillon returned from his injury in 2003 but he wasn't the best RB on the team then - Rudi was. I don't think Watson is more talented than Rudi but if Rudi doesn't get healthy it won't matter. [/QUOTE]EVEN IF WATSON DID GET THE STARTING GIG HE IS NOT AS YOUNG AS RUDI WAS WHEN HE TOOK OVER FOR DILLON.
WATSON IS 29. GRANTED HE DOES HAVE AS MANY MILES ON HIS TIRES BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN HIT LESS THAN MOST BACKS BUT THE BENGALS COULDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT MAKING HIM A FEATURE BACK.

Tom: what type of feelings would you have right now (week 8) if you recently dropped Chatman?

Do you see a player who could be dropped this week (maybe due to his team having a bye) being very valuable on the WW next week?

I don't think Watson will be the starter long term. I'm talking about this season.

Do you see a player who could be dropped this week (maybe due to his team having a bye) being very valuable on the WW next week? Depends who I dropped him for. And it depends on what else I had at RB. If I was strong at RB and needed another WR or QB or whatever that would lessen the sting. You have to make decisions with how you address your roster and this season it's becoming paramount that you ensure you have the right depth. If Chatman was your RB5 or RB6 you simply may not have been able to keep him if you needed a WR3 bad.

YEAH THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE FOR THE BENGALS TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION. IT SHOULD BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE BENGALS DO WHEN THEY GET HENRY BACK IN WEEK 10.

Although I doubt Chatman puts up stats even close to Rrown with Booker and Coobs stealing some carries along the way. At least I'm hoping this is the case...

I'm starting to think my dumping Selvin instead of Chatman might work out for me.

Tom, let me start by saying my thoughts and best wishes go out to all those affected by the fires in San Diego. A friend of mine in two private leagues was just allowed back into his home this morning and he is one of the lucky ones. He said it's virtually impossible that Qualcomm will be used for football this Sunday. Most likely they will play in Phoenix just like the last time. I'm curious what would happen if the game was canceled, though? What would happen to the week's scoring as far as the nffc is concerned regarding that game?
