    I drafted LJ over LT but ended up with Gore and Westbrook in addition to LJ, so i haven't been suffering by any means. I even have Addai too.

    I'm in the title game this week, and yet again have to decide which 3 out of LJ, Westbrook, Gore to play.

    Well, Gore ran roughshod over Arizona last time, so either he'll do it again, or the Cardinals defense will be geared to stop him. Not that it really matters for Arizona.

    Westbrook has been pretty consistent all year, but Dallas has a pretty fair defense and no McNabb will probably hurt him some.

    LJ has been on a bit of a decline for the last few weeks. However, he's going against Oakland, so look for him to bounce back.

    Personally I'd go with Gore and LJ. That means Westbrook will go off for 150 yards rushing and 100 yards receiving.

    Every time I set Gore in my lineup I just can't bench Westbrook... and he ends up making me proud every time.

    I'm tempted to do the unthinkable and bench LJ for the title game.

    Hate the chiefs anyway

    Speaking of fantasy sports. Just wondering how's Yao doing in fantasy this year. Seems like he should be one of the top guys since he's putting up the stats in a weak position (center). So is Yao carrying anybody so far?

    fantasy basketball is really more a team game than fantasy football where one guy is so much better than any one else points wise.

    Yao is without question the top Center in fantasy leagues now, and he's a top 10 player for sure. But he wouldn't really carry a team by himself, any more than Lebron or Kobe would, fantasy speaking.

    Money league, went 11-3 with LT and lost in the semi finals this week thanks to BULGER SUCKING ASS, and Roy Williams just blew...again. Lost by 2 damn points. Stupid game!

    Lost to a team with LT and pretty much nothing else this weekend -- L. Coles went crazy for him as well.

    I know a lot of people dont like to call him LT since there was the original LT, but I recommend calling him LTD instead for Ladanian Touch Down

    the manning/ harrison combo put me over LT this past week.

    is chicago defense still worth starting next week? seems they're not really going to care until the playoffs.

    I have LT and am playing for the championship this week. Other notables on my team are Westbrook, Vick, Boldin, RoyWilliams and Evans.

    In the championship game with LT, Gore and Willie Parker. I had McNabb, but now I have to go with a rotating qb situation. We shall see...

    In my money league, I am in the title game, and number 1 seed without LT.

    Team:

    QB: Bulger/Garrard(we start one and a flex which can be a QB)
    RB: B-West/Tiki/Chester/Deangelo(start two, always westbrook and tiki)
    WR: D-Jax/Driver/Ocho Cinco(these will be my 3 wr's this week if d-jax can go)
    TE: Gates
    K: Wilkins
    DEF: Philly(have jets on bench, trying to get SD)
    we use 3 IDP as well, which I add/drop weekly based on matchup

    In my league, the owner with LT is currently 7-8 and out of the money (1st - 3rd get paid). He has won a few weekly pots ($50 to high score each week).

    I have Rudi Johnson (down year by his standards), Travis Henry, Tatum Bell, and now Ron Dayne for my RB's. Let's just say I've been carried to a 12-3 record (1st place and can clinch with a win over the 9th place team this week) with McNabb and my back up QB...Drew Brees.

    I can't tell from your team whether you were in a league that allowed Colston to be played as a TE. If you were then I have no sympathy for you since I know several owners that cheesed their way to several wins based soley on that. If you played him at WR, however, then you have my condolences. :D

    ps: the LT owner in my league where I work missed the playoffs. I am in the championship game, LJ and the bears defense carried me after I lost McNabb.

    Yep, I have LT and my team is in the Championship game. My other back is Westbrook, and I also picked up Jones-Drew as a free agent. And McNabb was my best QB, but LT has helped my team overcome that injury.

    I am the LT owner in my league, and I not only won the regular season pot, but I'm a the favorite to win the final this weekend. Go LT!!!!!

    I have LT in my league and I haven't lost since the Chargers bye week. 3 loss season for me.

    And yes, I'm in the championship game.
