OK,

My dilemma this week is whether to start Amani Toomer NYG vs. Dallas or Braylon Edwards CLE vs. Denver.

I keep going back and forth. Any thoughts?

Toomer can break out at any time. I would use him.

I am favored by 29 points and I don't that is going to happen. That is way to many points to win by. But I will live by the bet.

I just put in my Kicker so I believe the spread is down to 21. I might be still changing my line up so it might change again.

Well I moved around my receivers and I made it into a 26 point spread now. To make it more fair I will put my Faith in your hands. You can pick my 2 receivers that I am unsure of, BTW Cole's stays in.

Moving them around will change the spread. You can experiment as I will add or remove until you are happy with the spread. Just keep in mind that if the spread goes down that means I am using better players.

Now I have 3 players that are starters come up with Little red crosses next to there names. Coles, Penninton, and Willams are questionable for Sunday. Now Coles and Penintion has had that for 3 weeks but I still wonder are they going to play the same if they do play.

I can not feel your pain.

I can not say I feel your pain. (Or your player's pain.)

My team's better players have been playing hurt or have not play at all for the first 7 games.

Javon Walkers is at it already!

It seems that winning and even making more money can not make some players happy. Walker still doesn't understand there is no "I" in Team!!!!!!!!!!!

WRs Javon Walker and Rod Smith are reportedly unhappy about the Broncos' passing game.

Both receivers answered questions about the offense by saying, "I just work here" and "I just run the plays they call." Walker then added that he wished the team would attack more and coach Mike Shanahan indicated he didn't have a problem with the complaints.

After Sunday night's 13-3 win against the Oakland Raiders, Broncos receiver Rod Smith answered a question about the team's offense with "I just work here."

Smith then expanded that to "I just run the plays they call. We had a lot of opportunities we didn't take advantage of. I don't worry about me. I worry about the wins."

But less than 12 hours later, receiver Javon Walker followed suit. Walker was asked if he could put his finger on the team's offensive struggles.

"I could put my finger on it, but I just run the plays that are called," Walker said.

He then followed that with: "I just work here."

Walker went on to say he hoped the team would attack more on offense and that he believed he could have more impact than he already has had if he were more involved in the passing game.

"I mean, the only thing I can be accountable for is myself," Walker said. "I just know the attitude that I take toward the game and when I'm out there playing, I just know sometimes I'm in the zone and I know I can make plays.

"I feel like if we take advantage of that I think good things can happen, along with the other receivers. We all feel the same way, we all talk about it. We'll just come back in practice this week and see where it take us on into the season."

The Broncos (4-1) have the league's 30th-rated passing game and 24th-rated offense overall in yards per game.

Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said he understands Walker's frustration because everyone involved with the team's offense is frustrated.

"(Walker) wants the ball. Rod Smith wants the ball; he handles it in a different way," Shanahan said. "When I was at San Francisco, I had Jerry Rice; John Taylor wanted the ball, but you'd never hear about it. Brent Jones, he was Steve Young's roommate and he was in Steve's ear every night trying to get the ball.

"Ricky Watters wanted the ball every play; that's just the nature of guys wanting to make plays. This is a situation that we have; I feel pretty good about who we've got on our football team. . . .

"You want guys who want the ball."

Walker leads the Broncos with 20 receptions - he led the team with five catches against the Raiders - but also is the only player with more than one touchdown this season.

He has two touchdown catches, both Sept. 24 against New England.

Only Oakland (0-5) has scored fewer points this season than the Broncos' 62. The Raiders have scored 50.

By contrast, the Chicago Bears have 180 points in six games and the Philadelphia Eagles have 179.

"Any time you're not productive offensively and you come away with 13 points, there's always frustrations, there's always disappointments. If he doesn't feel that way you have the wrong guy . . . ," Shanahan said.

"Obviously, we're disappointed we didn't put more points on the scoreboard; it's something we've got to work at."

Mike,
Are you going to pick your destiny? Are you going to pick my receivers for me or should I keep it as it is with the 26 point spread?

Mike I just checked and the spread is now 30 points. Not sure what changed as I have not touched it.

Hey Commish, what happened?

Yesterday I had a win in last week's game, today it's a tie. Somehow I lost two tenths of a point.

Phil,

This is what I got from CBS's website:

"The statistics presented within your fantasy league the day after the games are directly from the Official Statistics provider of the NFL. After the games have concluded, the games are reviewed repeatedly on video tape to correct any statistical discrepancy input during the game. The unofficial Live Scoring statistics displayed within the GameCenter during the ballgames are keyed in as rapidly as possible at the stadiums and are prone to occasional errors. Most, if not all Sports web-sites simply present an initial stat feed on their statistics pages, and are not overly concerned with updating the page unless a gross error is identified. The statistics within our fantasy products are accurate per the Official Statistics provider of the NFL."

I will see if I can find more info.

Update. As of right now Mike, I am a 26 point underdog that likes Chesse.

Not sure why it is moving around, I have not changed my line up, Have you?

[tennisWalt Super Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close tennisWalt]

It may be because of the health of your players.

I'm not sure, but I think it has to do with the updated health report of your players.

No I haven't changed my line up. I like it just the way it is.

MMMM....I can smell that apple pie coming out of the oven.
