Re: James - He was in the 40-50 group for me but felt that with the Bears throwing 40ish times that there may be less opportunities. Now, James is a gamer and could find chances. Perhaps we need a "just missed the cut" category. Also, his 1 solo last week was curious. The 7 assists, interesting.

Re: Chung - A DB doesn't necessarily have to be facing a pass-happy team to have value. I've seen Chung ranked even higher on some other outlets. I think a top-10 finish this week is right on.

Re: Ball - Yeah, last time I checked he was a Cowboy.

Wondering about Chung too. I'm suprised to see him ranked that highly against a team that throws so little. I understand the SS assists in run defense too, but I dunno, I don't see the Jets offense being on the field for extended periods for Chung to have the opportunities to rack up Top Tier stats.

Ive got to choose between Patrick Chung or Adrian Wilson, do you really see Chung getting more passes his was against Sanchez than Wilson against Ryan?
