Dear Registered User:
Quarterbacks take the spotlight this week as Seahawks
QB Matt Hasselbeck is injured, and Cowboys slinger Drew Bledsoe was
yanked at halftime in favor of Tony Romo (our sleeper pick a few weeks
back). Our users know that QB is a key fantasy position, where a change
can impact fantasy points for every offensive player on his team. Count
on the Power
Line-Up Analyzer (PLA) to crunch the numbers for you in Week Eight.
Here’s what’s in store this week:

Need a New QB? Join the Club
Do the changes in Seattle and Dallas have you looking for a new fantasy
QB? As everyone knows, Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck is expected to miss
3 weeks with a sprained MCL in his knee. Seneca Wallace takes over as
starter. How will that affect Darrell Jackson and the rest of the Seahawks?
Meanwhile, the Cowboys are searching for answers at quarterback after
Bill Parcells put Tony Romo in charge in the second half of the Monday
night game against the Giants, with first place in the NFC East on the
line. Romo threw three interceptions, but showed scrambling ability,
completing 14 of 25 passes for 227 yards, two touchdowns and a two-point
conversion. Romo will get his first NFL start next week at Carolina.
If that's not enough QB action for you, just wait.
Chiefs QB Trent Green is starting to take part in practice on a limited
basis, and could return sometime around week 10. For expert analysis
on the fantasy impact of all these QB moves, stay tuned to the PLA,
and don't forget our podcast
and user
forums, all great sources for fantasy football advice!
PLA Hits and Misses
Did you predict the Falcons/Steelers game would be the NFL version of
"High Noon" last week? Neither did the PLA,
and what a shoot-out it was! Michael Vick (4 TD passes), Alge Crumpler
(3 receiving TDs) and Hines Ward (3 TD receptions) all had career-highlight
games. Here's a look at more hits and misses from Week Seven.

Forum Post of the Week
This week's breakout forum post was launched by none other than Russ
Bliss, our blogger extraordinaire, who opines on the Tony
Romo situation. Will Dallas become home of the TR/TO show? Join
in the discussion at the Fantasy Football Starters user forums,
where you'll find some of the smartest folks playing fantasy football
today.
Green Bay Super Sleeper
Is this week’s Super Sleeper hiding up in Green Bay? We think
so. Packers WR Ruvell Martin could be the man. Look at the injury situation
in cheddar-land. Robert Ferguson was placed on IR last week, Greg Jennings
has an ankle sprain that could not only keep him out this week, but
maybe for weeks after. Koren Robinson was suspended for an entire year.
Someone besides Donald Driver has to step up for the Packers and Martin
is most likely of the Packers WRs to do so. At 6’4” 217
lbs, Martin is a big target for Favre. Listen to our Week Eight Podcast
for more analysis, or head to the user forums to post your sleeper
pick of the week.
