Mark, obviously we'll know more after tonight. But Matt Moore's track record in Carolina was to feed the big dog (leaned heavily on Steve Smith; one game where Smith was out he loaded up on David Gettis) at the expense of everybody else. I think his value takes a hit the rest of the way. But be cautioned about Sanzenbacher; Earl Bennett is getting healthy, and the slot/possession/red zone role is likely his when he returns.

So, according to this, Davone Bess is no longer roster-worthy without Chad Henne? Trying to pick up Sanzenbacher, need to know if I should drop Bess Or Jacoby Jones.

let me help 2v... yo last question momo, try reading the sentence at the top of EACH OF THESE PAGES!!

Same Question as Last Week, the answer is still the same as the one I provided for you last week: the theory behind the rankings is if a draft were held today for the rest of the season, where would these players rank.

Bill, do you mean did I see the Giants get six sacks and force three turnovers last week? Yeah, I did. But there are so many different ways to score defenses maybe that doesn't matter in your league. These rankings are based on defensive fantasy points scored, and most leagues that means defensive and special teams TDs, sacks, and turnovers with a little bit of points allowed mixed in. Given that the Giants are first in the NFL in sacks and fourth in takeaways, I'm pretty comfortable ranking them as the fifth-best fantasy defense going forward.

Giants holding at number 5 ? Gulp...Did you see them at home last week against what could very well be the worst offense in the NFL in Seattle ? Oh by the way they have Dallas twice, Philly, Pats, Saints and packers left on their schedule...

Same Question as Last week

Is this based on if the season were to start today or are past week's performances factored in to project total points for the rest of the season?
