Week 5 Case Study

Another loss last week and injury concerns everywhere now. I made some changes to the roster but still face a tough week.

1 QB

Roethlisberger, Ben QB PIT

Delhomme, Jake QB CAR

Garcia, Jeff QB TB

Picked up Jeff Garcia this week as insurance as Delhomme is out again and Big Ben is not 100%
Also, Garcia has had some huge games this season.

Starting Roethlisberger, thought Garcia is tempting. But reports are the Big Ben is healthy and ready to go.

2 RB’s

Henry, Travis RB DEN

Johnson, Rudi RB CIN

Dunn, Warrick RB ATL

Lynch, Marshawn RB BUF

Henry's inability to not smoke pot may cost me dearly. He's facing a season long suspension. I do have some depth but it would be tough to lose him. As of late Saturday night he's going to play on Sunday so I'm starting him but will be ready for a late switch to Dunn. Johnson is on bye and hurting. Lynch and Dunn a tough call but Lynch has been finding the endzone so he gets the nod.

3 WR’s

Colston, Marques WR NO

Edwards, Braylon WR CLE

Jackson, Darrell WR SF

Bennett, Drew WR STL

Hackett, D.J. WR SEA

Dropped Dwayne Jarrett this week - he's simply not getting any chances in the offense right now.

Colston and Edwards go, but Edwards have a tough D to face. Colston may finally break out against the Panthers struggling defense.
Hackett still out and Bennett simply not getting anything thrown his way.
3rd WR is Jackson, but a good game from him would surprise me.

Kicker
Week 5, third kicker - that's a problem on a fantasy football team. Dropped Brown picked up special teams player of the week last week Dave Rayner from KC - Herm Edwards loves kicking FGs and Rayner thriving with his second chance.

Defense
Dumped Carolina picked up improving Giants.
