If you think you can make the championship round in the NFFC having Javon Walker on your bench...you'd be wise to keep him for the playoffs.
Cutler has talent...DEN has a running threat...great scenario for late season heroics.

~Lance What is scary is I just had a drink, and I agree with the majority of this.
Washington should show New England a D they have yet to see this year. They won't stop them, but the may hold them under 30.

If anything holds the Pats and Brady under 30 it will be the fact the Skins offense wont score and pressure the Pats to score. If the Skins scores 24 I would bet anything the Pats score 34.

I disagree with RotoWorld's assessment of Watson vs. Rudi. Watson doesn't have a better all-around game. He's a better receiver but I don't think he matches up at all as a runner with a healthy Rudi Johnson.
But again, the problem is Rudi isn't healthy and he may not be healthy for the remainder of the season. We're now five weeks out since his injury. If he sits again this week it will be a major blow to his prospects for the remainder of the season.
Just for fun, this was my bench last week in my Main League either because of injuries or byes:
Rudi Johnson
Steve Smith
Deion Branch
Javon Walker
Kellen Winslow
Toss in Julius Jones who I sat because of the matchup and that's not a bad team right there on my bench. On top of that, Matt Schaub got hurt.
I love this game sometimes.
...SNAKE realizes that you opened this thread by directly referencing the unprecedented amount of injuries AND underperforming top players this season but the two categories should NOT be lumped together as they are distinctly different ISHO...when an owner selects a player who underperforms the onus is SOLELY on the owner and can clearly be defined as a bad pick (ie ability-related)...however, conversely when a player is injured for a significant time period the onus is NOT on the owner but rather is attributable to a circumstance that was NOT within the owner's control as the said player never had the chance to underperform (or not) in the first place (ie luck-related)...and this season is simply ludicrous with the amount of injuries to players at the skill positions...but what is with Baloney Maroney this season, TK?...is his injury legit or is Bill Belechick saving him for the NFL playoffs or what?...SNAKE [/QUOTE]HEY SNAKE I AGREE WITH MOST OF WHAT YOU SAID EXCEPT THAT IF AN UNDERPERFORMING PLAYER IS A BAD PICK BAD THE OWNER.
