Are there no other quarterbacks?!

Apparently there are no quarterbacks left on free agency with ANY football experience. None. Zip. Nada. Well, that's the message I'm getting after reading about the Patriots decision to bring 43 year old Vinny Testaverde out of retirement. Maybe I'm being a little unfair, I mean he's only going to be the fourth-string QB on the team, but still... Vinny Testaverde?! He'll be "playing" in his 21st season in the NFL and has never won a championship, so maybe Patriot management feels bad for him and figures he'll have a decent chance at winning one this season. In case you were wondering, this has no fantasy impact unless your league awards bonus points for having senior citizens on your bench.

Travis Henry owners: Feel free to breathe any time now

This is exactly why early drafts make us so nervous: After Henry limped off the field last night, every one of his fantasy owners went to bed wondering if they were going to have to watch Mike Bell enjoy the automatic 1,000-yard season that comes with playing the position under Shanahan. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case: it's just a sprain; there's "no significant structural damage." It remains unclear whether he'll miss any regular-season games.

    • Tim: Just reading this post now and Matt you mentioned my 2 RBs (Jacobs and LT). This is a deeper league (14 teams) where some teams have gaping wholes to fill and my team just so happens to need some quality WR. I agree Turner is emerging into a top 5 monster back, but I'm...
    • Matt: If he's going to give you Turner for Jacobs, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Turner's an elite RB so far and I see no reason to believe he won't finish in the top 5 overall at the position. Jacobs' carries in the past three games: 15, 14, 15. Chances are, that's what the Giants...
    • Ali: sorry didn't give you the full picture. I have Addai, Jacobs, Forte, Fargas, McClain, and Sproles. I have a guy who might be open to pulling the trigger on Jacobs for Turner, would you do it? or would you rather go with Jacobs for Jackson? thanks guys!
    • Brandon: @Ali: You might try to pawn Jacobs for Steven Jackson at this point. While Jackson was probably taken a round ahead of Jacobs in the draft, Jackson only has one touchdown this year and is underperforming. He's gotten plenty of carries over the past two games though and is used in the passing game too...
    • Matt: There's no way you'd get Turner for Jacobs. Are you sure you want to trade Jacobs when you only have two other RB?
