Aside from my call on David Garrard, my week 6 shockers were a big letdown after my surprising prescience in week 5. But I'm feeling it this week, baby. I get extra karma on these picks because I'm going to Orchard Park on Sunday to watch my Bills get slaughtered by put up a valiant struggle against the Ravens.

Well, my picks last week didn't turn out all that spectacular, due to sub-par games from Najeh Davenport and Shaun Alexander, as well unexpectedly big games from Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger and Marion Barber III. Using my un-biased scoring system, I finished the week 12-10-4, only slightly above 50%. This week though, I plan to return to my Nostradamus-like abilities and give you some solid suggestions of who might be worth starting and who might be worth sitting this week...

The Kansas City Chiefs traded backup running back Michael Bennett to Tampa Bay today. For all Earnest Graham owners, this immediately decreases the value of your running back (if he had any at this point) and makes Bennett a viable fantasy player (even if this guy disagrees) for the first time in a few years. If you're hurting for running back depth, you might want to pick up Bennett or put in a waiver claim, as he should be starting for the Buc's within a week or so.

Great trade for the Chargers, and even better for his fantasy owners. Chambers may be just the kind of receiver Rivers needs to take the next step. It's hard to say how good Chambers is; he's never had a decent QB throwing him the ball. This has all the makings of a situation where a player with elite talent is beyond determined to prove that he's got it.

This has absolutely nothing to do with fantasy football, but who cares: Against all initial odds and expectations, Everett is walking unassisted today. This made my day.

It's getting to the point in the season where it is becoming more and more difficult to find a good player on waivers. At this point you're most likely looking to find replacements for bye weeks and injuries that your players may have suffered, and even that can prove to be a daunting task for fantasy managers. If you're basing the long term success on the following players, you're most likely in big trouble. However, they could fill in for a week or two to keep your team afloat until your players return from bye weeks and injuries.

This'll be a short post, but I just wanted to point out a few guys who, if your league doesn't convert all free agents to waivers at 1pm on Sundays, you should pick up right now, and who you don't need to waste your time on. We'll be discussing these guys in more detail later in the week in the waiver-wire post.

Johnson will get a share of the work this week, but it's unclear whether that means just a few carries or a 50-50 split. Unfortunately for Kenny Watson owners, this means neither of them is a solid start.
