<p>As you read this I am hard at work compiling the Week 6 edition of the Huddle’s Rest of the Season Player Rankings. However, I’m running into a problem: for some reason nobody wants to claim the prestigious No. 1-ranked running back spot.</p>
<p>A couple weeks back, on the heels of a monster performance (and lingering injuries to LaDainian Tomlinson and Adrian Peterson), I elevated Marion Barber to the top spot. How did he respond? With eight freaking carries. Meanwhile, LT shows signs of life so he gets bumped back to No. 1. What does he do? Lays an egg in Miami.<span id="more-8"></span></p>
<p>This opens the door for All Day, who evidently doesn’t work the night shift. One-point-five yards per carry against the Saints? How many fantasy teams did Peterson cost a victory by staying in on Monday night? And yes, that’s me you see raising my hand.</p>
<p>I could give it to Brian Westbrook… but he’s already missed one game due to injury and is now sporting a pair of broken ribs. Dude’s tough—I mean, he’s still got his legs and his head’s still on his torso and all that—but you can only play through so much pain.</p>
<p>Marshawn Lynch? Much as I like his talent and his schedule going forward, he’s leaving too many 60-yard, no-TD games on the doorstep.</p>
<p>Frank Gore? Clinton Portis? Brandon Jacobs? All these guys have done is produce. Can they be trusted going forward? Would you really want Portis the rest of the way over LT, ADP, MB3, or even Westy?</p>
<p>Looks like I have to put my thinking toque on and come up with some answers. Your input is most certainly welcome.</p>
<p>*******</p>
<p>Also, I wanted to mention that I and hopefully an array of other Huddle staff members will be appearing from time to time on the Average Joe Sports Show’s fantasy edition on Blog Talk Radio.</p>
<p>I hooked up with the AJSS a couple years back, as they’re based out of New Ulm, Minnesota—home to Schell’s Beer and Herman the German, and not too far from my old stomping grounds. For a small-town radio show they have a track record of big-time guests (not me, actual athletes and the like) and they do a great job. So when they asked me to contribute to their fantasy show, it was a no-brainer.</p>
<p>The show airs Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 4 to 5 p.m. Central time, and I have to believe as an Internet entity it can also be downloaded and enjoyed at your leisure. My plan is to check in each Monday, and we’re hoping to get other Huddlers involved on Wednesdays and Fridays. You can find the show <a href="http://www.thehuddle.com/blog/2v/www.blogtalkradio.com/ajss">here</a>.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Hey remember how I was complaining about the humidity of south Florida a few days ago? Yeah well Mother Nature has had her way with me &#8211; I stepped off the plane last night in Colorado to a light dusting of snow and temps in the upper 30s. I mean, what just happened? Gotta love it. Except when you&#8217;re oh say a Randy Moss owner and you&#8217;re watching Moss go from red hot and humid last season to cold and snowy this year. I don&#8217;t think the numbers he put up last night are indicative of the rest of the season, but the Moss of 2007 has officially left the building.<span id="more-3"></span></p>
<p>Not that I actually got to see that game or anything more than a few highlights, though I did watch more football yesterday than I was expecting to see &#8211; the Dallas v. Arizona game was even on in the airport and I had my iPhone working furiously to get me the Denver game updates. Some crazy stuff went down in the 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> quarter of games yesterday &#8211; if you missed anything, not to fear. Lots of sites out there have some solid recaps, so let&#8217;s catch up:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://fo3.footballoutsiders.com/audibles/audibles-line-week-6-2008">Football Outsiders&#8217; Audibles at the Line &#8211; Week 6</a> &#8211; always one of my favorite ways of catching up on the weekend&#8217;s games.</li>
<li>Yahoo&#8217;s Andy <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Behrens</span> has a solid <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_arcade/post/Sunday-Scene-Week-6;_ylt=AujQ03mBVWr.9G2UYoKDVnm5bZ8u?urn=fantasy,114301">Sunday Scene, Week 6: When <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Shockey</span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Colston</span> return, Drew <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Brees</span> might just be OK</a> that recaps a lot of highlights from the weekend.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.fantasysharks.com/artman2/publish/On_the_Rise_On_the_Fall_-_Week_6.htm">Fantasy Sharks&#8217; On the Rise, On the Fall &#8211; Week 6</a> &#8211; what the heck happened to Earnest Grah<!--more-->am? Did I miss something in Tampa or are the rest of you equally surprised by Dunn&#8217;s rise to RB Awesomeness? Let&#8217;s also discuss Cutler being listed &#8220;on the fall&#8221; here &#8211; I&#8217;m probably just being overprotective of my QB but of course he&#8217;s not going to do as well with Royal, <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Scheff</span> and Young out &#8211; I&#8217;m fine with seeing him on the &#8220;fall&#8221; list but I do think chalking some of it up to the lack of healthy receivers/starters should have been noted here.</li>
<li><span class="blsp-spelling-error">FFGoat</span> has his <a href="http://fantasyfootballgoat.com/2008/10/13/fantasy-football-sleeper-and-waiver-wire-watch-week-7/">FF Sleepers and Waiver Wire Watch for Week 7</a> up &#8211; so for the first time this season I actually watched Matt Ryan play. The dude was impressive. I&#8217;ll be honest, I scampered off to the waiver wire yesterday to try and grab him while Cutler is on bye in Week 8 &#8211; though <span class="blsp-spelling-error">ATL</span> plays Philly that weekend and after the way the Eagles D has been habitually abusing offenses, I&#8217;m not sure I actually want Ryan after all&#8230;but let&#8217;s talk about Jason Elam. I&#8217;m totally biased here, I have an Elam jersey. But is the guy awesome or what? I think he&#8217;d been written off in a lot of places with his move out of Denver but he was so clutch in Atlanta&#8217;s win yesterday. I&#8217;m guessing he might be a kicker that&#8217;s picked up off a few waivers.</li>
<li>There are a few more waiver wire suggestions from AOL&#8217;s <span class="blsp-spelling-error">FanHouse</span> <a href="http://fantasy.fanhouse.com/2008/10/12/waiver-wire-wonders-week-6/">Waiver Wire Wonders: Week 6</a>. I played <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Breaston</span> this week and was delighted with his performance.  <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Boldin</span> is slated to return in Week 8 but perhaps <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Breaston</span> isn&#8217;t such a bad grab anyway&#8230;now unfortunately I also played Bobby Engram (thanks for putting up one tackle, Engram, at least you didn&#8217;t give me a goose egg, eh?) so my gamble at receivers kind of evened out.</li>
<li>NFL.com also has waiver advice in <a href="http://www.nfl.com/fantasy/story?id=09000d5d80b912f4&amp;template=with-video-with-comments&amp;confirm=true">Elam, Pittman among players to add off the fantasy waiver wire</a> &#8211; see, I knew Elam would be a hot commodity (wait, has a kicker ever been a hot waiver wire commodity?). Now I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;ve been giving <span class="blsp-spelling-error">Berrian</span> enough love lately &#8211; I even have a mental block on the fact that he plays in Minnesota; but as noted in this article, over the past month he&#8217;s averaging 99.5 yards per game.</li>
</ul>
<p>Now my travels aren&#8217;t quite over &#8211; I&#8217;m hopping on a plane again on Thursday. Yes, I&#8217;m insane, but I&#8217;ll do anything for my grandpa who is bringing the family in for his big 90<span class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> birthday party this weekend. So once again I might be a little slow on the blogging at the end of the week but actually, Grandpa takes a nap for a few hours every afternoon (if only we were all so lucky), so I might just find some time to get a few posts up after all.</p>
