Well here we are, one last week of bye's and we are in the home stretch. Lets see if there are any players available to help you through next week and beyond.

May be available now...

Sage Rosenfels QB (HOU) -If Schaub misses any time, Sage steps in. As explosive as the Houston offense is, he would be someone you would consider starting week to week. Grab him if it is not looking good for Schaub OR if you own Schaub.

Dan Orlovsky QB (DET) - His 292 and 2 touchdowns performance versus the Bears on the road indicates that he could be

Wow! Can you believe it is already going to be week 8? We are almost half way through the season and for some of you, the fantasy playoffs are lurking closer and closer. Lets look at how you can shore up that roster to make sure you have the best options available when that time comes.

Check out who is available this week.

May be available now...

Trent Edwards QB (BUF) - He is performing every time he steps on to the field. This week against San Diego he posted 261 yards with a touchdown. He may not be a QB1 yet

Building this list was a little tricky this week but I managed to find a few players worth picking up and list a few more that you can add to your watch list. Check them out.

May be available now...

Kyle Orton QB (CHI) - Don't look now but Mr. Orton is starting to look like a fantasy QB. I recommended that you pick him you last week and I am doing it again this week. And after a 334 yard, 2 touchdown performance against Detroit I am doing it with a little more certainty. A great bye week spot start this week with

Hope you are ready to shuffle your line-up this week because the bye weeks are officially here. It is possible that you might be without full time starters like Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson or Joseph Addai entering week four's action. That's not usually a good thing but lets see if we can help you minimize the blow.

Here are a few players you can stick in the line-up and not miss a beat along with a few you will be better off avoiding.

Start em if you got em

Chris Perry RB (CIN) - Believe it

Well it took until week 3 but you and I finally saw a little something out of a few highly touted fantasy performers this week. LJ, Fred Taylor and MJD all went over 100 for the first time. The Bengals - minus Ohco - offered some hope going forward. And Ronnie Brown went ballistic on the Pats.

But, even though some of you can breathe a little easier, there are still plenty of opportunities to improve your team using a few of the players below. Also, the bye weeks start next week so you might be looking for a fill-ins. Check'em out!

Are you ready for some fantasy football? Me too. Week one is finally here and it is time to get you thinking about who should and who shouldn't be in your line up this Sunday.

Let's get it rolling with this weeks picks.

Start em if you got em

Jon Kitna QB (DET) - The pass happy Mike Martz is now looking to maim quarterbacks in San Francisco and a commitment to the running game is on the docket for the Motor City Kitties, but, that doesn't mean that ole' Jon can't git r' done.

He still has the presence of both Calvin

In last weeks volume 1, I got your fantasy drafting wheels turning. This week I looked to put the pedal a little closer to the floor as you and I drive closer to our drafts. Round two of my sleepers and value picks is a result of many, many more hours of searching the web for info, some of your suggestions and comments, watching any pre-season games I can and scanning box scores.

Lets not waste any more time. Here you go.
Quarterbacks

Tavaris Jackson QB (MIN) - As both a Viking fan and guys who plays in a two QB league, I am very encouraged by T-Jacks first action in

Everybody wants the best running back in the league when fantasy football drafts kick off around the country, and San Diego's LaDainian Tomlinson is clearly the top choice. Not only is he the best running back in the league, but he benefits by playing behind the best offensive line in the league. When you can find strong skill players supported by strong line play, then you've got a formula for success. Young quarterbacks like San Diego's Philip Rivers and Denver's Jay Cutler absolutely benefit from strong offensive line play in front of them. So bet big on skill players from

If you were like me and you watched your NCAA bracket disintegrate to nothing this weekend then you will welcome a little NFL talk. And today, it is time
