Re: 2010 Fantasy Football
If the Bills take a quarterback I'll be kinda pissed.

Unfortunately, the Bills picked the wrong year to totally tank as the top end talent of the 2011 Draft is considerably weaker than the 2010 Draft. In that draft you had the option of Sam Bradford, Suh/McCoy at DT, and two OT in Trent Williams and Russell Okung.
This year there's Andrew Luck and a bunch of WR (Jones from Alabama, AJ Green from GA and Michael Floyd out of ND). I think might be the best pick only because the alternatives aren't that good at least by matching up with the needs of the Bills.
MisterId, I will be shocked if Locker gets taken in the Top 5. He has struggled mightily this year. I wouldn't be suprised if the skins go after Vick in the offseason.
FF news: Anthony Gonzales of the Colts is out again. Gates of SD is doubtful this week vs HOU because of a torn planter fascia.
Re: 2010 Fantasy Football
What? I have Gates and made the mistake of sitting him the other week when he was questionable. Doubtful is a different animal though.
I got a counter proposal today. I'd get Reggie Wayne fo Matt Forte and Michael Crabtree. That would leave me with Blount, McFadden, and MJD at RB. Wayne, Austin, Marshall, Bess, and a rehabbing Sidney Rice at WR. Of course IF Gates isn't going to play I'd have to drop Rice to pick up a TE.
Re: 2010 Fantasy Football
I've got a feeling Vick will stay with the Eagles. If he plays well then The Eagles have a great situation to trade Kolb. There were already a bunch of teams that made offers. But we'll see. I think Shanahan will want "his" guy that he can groom. There's been a lot coming out lately about how awful he is with QB's. And now that I think of it, he didn't develop Elway. There was a good article with Jake Plummer (who I've always liked) talking about it.

The San Diego Chargers likely will be without star tight end Antonio Gates on Sunday against the Houston Texans because of a foot injury.
Gates sprained the plantar fascia in his right foot during last weekend's 33-25 victory over the Titans. He also has a turf-toe injury in his left foot. He didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful on the Chargers' Friday injury report.
Gates has not missed a game this season and has amassed 40 receptions for 663 yards and nine touchdowns.
The Chargers will likely go another week without wide receivers Malcom Floyd and Legedu Naanee, who are both listed as doubtful. Naanee has missed three games while Floyd has sat out the past two contests.
For the rest of the Chargers' roster, kicker Nate Kaeding (groin) and linebacker Brandon Siler (foot) are listed as doubtful, while linebacker Larry English (foot) and receiver Richard Goodman (hamstring) are questionable. Linebacker Kevin Burnett (shoulder), guard Kris Dielman (neck) and cornerback Quentin Jammer (not injury related) are probable.

I'd personally take the Wayne trade because you don't know what you're going to get from Crabtree and Forte is very unpredictable. I ended up starting Forte during the games where he put up very little (including the shitfest vs Giants). At least you know Wayne will consistently produce.
The Redskins QB situation is pretty hilarious this week, in between the shifting excuses for removing McNabb from the game vs Lions, they brought in Jamarcus Russell this week. He weighed 286lbs at this week's workout. They're very lucky most of the media has been focusing on the Vikings otherwise Shanny would be ripped in the media for this. Shanny also has been a horrible talent evaluator after Elway retired.
Well the Chicago Bears might be souring on Jay Cutler(at least the media is) so there might be another option. Kyle Orton has definitely been the better QB in that trade. Too bad McDaniels ended up wasting most of their high draft picks acquired in that trade.

Yeah, I hear you on Forte. Luckily I have played him in all the games he's done well, though I have basically started him every week. It took me awhile to become a believer in McFadden and I never had the heart to bench MJD, even though he got off to a slow start.
Re: 2010 Fantasy Football
Another update on Gates:
Gates
Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee believes TE Antonio Gates (doubtful, toe) will play Sunday against Houston.
Gates reportedly looked good walking in early morning practice, prompting Acee to say "it's a safe bet he (Gates) will play." Owners should already have a contingency plan in place, and since we'll know his true status by noon ET Sunday he won't burn a hole in your lineup if he ends up sitting. For now, things are looking good for Gates, but be sure to check in tomorrow. Nov. 6 - 1:26 pm et

Thank god they're switching over to daylight savings time or whatever gives me an extra hour to monitor whether or not to start him. I've got Keller on backup just in case.
