   Alright Dr. U….

   I need some insight, Brady has carried me the past few weeks to the #2 or #3 spot in my league, but it is crunch time…and my “star” players are not performing (i.e. Santana Moss)

   Here are my players, what would you do, dude? I am at a loss, for this week (my opponent has Peyton Manning should be interesting). Also, I am in need of QB for week 10 if you have any suggestions… I was actually thinking about Vinny Testeverde because I believe they are playing the Falcons. Suggestions? Comments?

   Ok so here are my players

   BRADY QB — BYE IS WK 10???
   ROY WILLIAMS WR
   DARRELL JACKSON WR
   DENNIS NORTHCUTT WR
   LENDALE WHITE RB
   CLINTON PORTIS RB
   JEREMY SHOCKEY TE –POSSIBLE REPLACEMENTS FOR BYE (WK 9) ARE WILL HELLER/ MARCUS POLLARD
   SANTANA MOSS WR – FRUSTRATED… WHAT TO DO
   STEVEN JACKSON RB — LOOKS LIKE HE WILL BE STARTING… I’D LIKE TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO…
   LAMONT JORDAN RB
   JASON HANSON K
   GREEN BAY DEF.

   HERE IS WHO I HAVE MY EYE ON… GREG JENNINGS WR / Kenton keith WR and Koren Robinson WR (I am thinking Favre my show him some love given his return). You really think Greenbay is going to lose over Denver?

   Well let me know what you think… THANKS!

   Leslie,

   Ok, I am not sure how many you are able to start, but at this time, here is who I would suggest that you start in Week 8:

   QB Tom Brady
   RB Steven Jackson (looks like he will play)
   RB LenDale White
   WR Roy Williams (he should bounce back and have a good week)
   WR Greg Jennings (I would dump Northcutt or Moss to get Jennings, he should have a big week against Denver)
   Flex LaMont Jordan
   TE Jeremy Shockey
   K Jason Hanson
   Def Green Bay

   I think Green Bay is better than Denver this year, but I think it is going to be tough to win in Denver on Monday night. The Broncos found a way to beat a tough Steelers team, and I think they will sneak by the Packers too. That being said, if Green Bay did win, it would not be shocking at all to me. It should be a close game.

   I don’t know if I would rush out to pick up Testaverde just yet, although the matchup against the Falcons is a good one. For your back up quarterbacks and tight ends, you may as well wait until that week to see who is available, unless there is someone too good to pass up.

   Please let me know if you need any other advice. I will be posting my suggestions on who to start, who to bench, and what free agents are out there, again this Thursday as I do every Thursday.

   Good Luck!

   Derek,

   I like Greg Jennings, Ike Hillard, and Amani Toomer this week. I would give the nod to Jennings though.

   Good Luck!
