R & R - Ramblings and Rantings

Injury Impacts - Not a great deal of injury, but still some things to talk about.

Ben Rothlisberger - Sitting here watching the Monday night game. ESPN just reported, according to Chris Berman, that Big Ben has told the media he will be playing on Sunday, despite his concussion against the Cheifs. Make sure to keep an eye on it anyhow... besides, with the injury to Charlie Batch, it's either Rothlisberger or nothingin Pittsburgh.

Kurt Warner - Reports are today that Warner is just fine after his own minor concussion. Again, with head injuries, keep your eye on this one during the week.

Green Bay Defense - Two pro bowl level players went down for the Packer D, Aaron Kampman and Al Harris. Normally, I don't talk much about defenses, but this will really hurt their performance.

LaDell Betts - A severe knee injury has put LaDell on the pines for the rest of the year. Rock Cartwright is next up for the Redskins and might be worth picking up. He did a good job after Betts' injury.

Marc Bulger - Bulger is out for the year with a broken bone in his leg, so Kyle Boller is the QB in St Louis for the rest of the year is my guess. Not much fantasy value unless you are desparate.

What's Up? Guys who you might want on your roster.

Chris Chambers - If he is out there, snap him up. Two solid performances in a row speaks volumes. On a side note, if owners dropped Dwayne Bowe, and if you have room on your roster, you might want to consider him. He is coming back in time for the playoffs.

Kenny Britt - Still sitting here watching the Titans v Texans and Vince Young has some chemistry with the rookie. If you need WR help, he might be worth a gamble.

Jason Snelling - Snelling has a solid game stepping in for Michael Turner. If you need a short term starter, and if he is available, he is worth a roster spot and a spot start.

Bernard Scott - Scott had a solid if not spectacular game against the Raiders, and it also worth a roster spot for a spot start.

Justin Forsett - Again, Forsett had a nice game in replacing Julius Jones in Seattle, even against the Viking defense. If you have room and need a spot start, Forsett might be worth it.

Michael Crabtree - I wouldn't think Crabtree would be available, but he had a mini coming out party against a tough Green Bay defense, posting his first TD.

Robert Meachem - even with his poaching on Sunday (2 receptions, 10 yards, 2 TDs), I don't see Meachem as worth a roster spot, just too many other weapons on New Orleans.
