MIDWEEK RE-EVALUATIONS
QUARTERBACKS
Drop Seneca Wallace from #34 to #38 - recent revelation that he signed a contract before this season delaying his free agency for another year.
Upgrade Trent Green from #31 to #28 - healthy enough to start, moves Damon Huard to the bench
Bump Jason Campbell up from #34 to #32 - confirmation that he will start going forward.
Drop Mark Brunell from #39 to #46 - the end is nigh
Bump Aaron Brooks from #37 to #34 - looks like the starter again.
Drop Jake Delhomme from #13 to #16 - Production too mediocre to rely on, prefer the upside of younger QBs.
Drop Alex Smith from #14 to #17 - Romo & Grossman are in better situations, playoff value is a factor
Bump Tony Romo from #16 to #14 - Still impressing, looks more & more like the future
Bump Rex Grossman from #17 to #15 - Bears still team to beat, Grossman brushes off Dolphins game, Lovie firmly behind him.
Drop Jon Kitna from from #20 to #24 - Putting up good fantasy numbers, but still the same old Kitna. Questionable value from here forward.
RUNNINGBACKS
Drop Clinton Portis from #6 to #7 - already dropped from #4 early in the week, drops another spot with news that he's out for the year. 'Skins offense in state of flux with Campbell. May continue to drop if Parker & Westbrook continue to shine.
Bump Deuce McAllister from #21 to #18 - not crazy about him, but Saints now a great offense and Deuce is getting redzone work
Drop Ahman Green from #20 to #22 - Morency back, Herron was already taking more & more of the backfield receptions
Small bump for Kevan Barlow from #52 to #49 - not dead yet, still managing to put up weekly points
Enter Brad Hoover at #75 - shot in the dark for goal-line carries if the Panthers make the playoffs
WIDE RECEIVERS
Bump Marques Colston from #14 to #12 - defying all prognostication, continues to dominate. May slow down, but I've been saying that for weeks. Right now the #1 WR in fantasy production.
Bump Joey Galloway from #34 to #31 - Yes, he's very inconsistent, but he's still more productive than the crapshoot young WRs in the 30s. Still very startable as a WR3, still has the speed game.
Bump Jerricho Cotchery from #39 to #33 - Producing much better and more consistently than expected.
Bump Santonio Holmes from #44 to #40 - Coming on the last few weeks
Drop Doug Gabriel from #34 to #46 - had him too high, starting to lose time to Chad Jackson & Gaffney, Caldwell playing better
TIGHT ENDS
Bump Kellen Winslow II from #4 to #2 - Top scoring TE in fantasy, consistently targeted, producing even in poor offense
Bump Bo Scaife from #22 to #20 - Consistently outplaying Ben Troupe, rapport with old Texas QB Young
Bump Kris Wilson from #31 to #28 - Working his way into the offense, Gonzo's injury is a chance to show his talent.
Courtney Anderson drops out - Wasn't all that good in the first place, loses starting position
KICKERS
Bump Nate Kaeding up one spot to #3 - Chargers offense is a juggernaut, Kaeding scoring 7-12 every week.
Drop Jay Feely from #8 to #12 - Giants hurting from injuries
Bump John Carney up from #12 to #10 - Saints continuing to blow up the scoreboard
Drop Morten Andersen - Falcons outside looking in for playoffs, Andersen drafted before Kaeding was born.
DEFENSES
Flip-flopped Seahawks to #7 & Giants to #14 - Seattle continuing to pressure the QB, virtual playoff lock. Giants defense plagued by injuries.
