Fear & Loathing

Random late afternoon thoughts:
Frank Gore is officially back Good to see ya, Frank. It's been awhile.
David Carr has now been benched for a 44-year-old fresh off his couch and an undrafted rookie. Worse, he's been severely outplayed by both. I would not be surprised if Carr never starts another NFL game again. This is not hyperbole: you could stick a RB back there and put up a stronger passing attack.
Tony Scheffler reminds me of a young Todd Heap. He's made some incredibly athletic catches today.
Time to fess up on Lee Evans. I jumped ship and sold him while his value was high two weeks ago in both dynasty leagues. To be fair, I probably would have kept him if I wasn't playing in playoff leagues....but I'm not looking back on ole Lee Evans. I just got tired of the Bills passing game doing their best Panthers' running game impression. Starter is underwhelming, backup may be the future, don't trust the coaches to know the answers, and all options are underwhelming.
The Sidney Rice Express is gaining steam.
Why is Rex Grossman starting games for a NFL team? If Griese is healthy, there is no excuse for running Grossman out there. The Bears need to shop for both a franchise QB and a starting RB this offseason. It's a shame they wasted their window on Grossman and put all their rushing attack eggs in Benson's basket this year.
Mr. Pickles was right all along: Eli Manning to suck in NFL. I'm not going to be surprised when the Giants are looking for a franchise QB again within two years.
Chris Brown's return has cut into LenDale White's production, but it's the continued absence of Albert Haynesworth that is killing his value. White isn't the kind of back who will put up numbers unless the Titans are playing with a lead and using their running game to kill the clock. If you didn't sell high on him three weeks ago, well, you should have.
Jamal Lewis' rejuvenation has largely flown under the radar this season. He's far from the ideal dynasty RB, but he's averaging over 4.0 YPC in a stellar offense and getting goal-line carries as well as a few receptions. With his dreamy schedule down the stretch, I think he's a much better use of a dynasty roster spot than guys like Rudi Johnson and Thomas Jones. I would personally take him over LenDale White as well. The question is: will Cleveland re-sign him after the season? As effective as he's been, I would think so....as long as the price in years and dollars is reasonable.
