It's the web page Drew Rosenhaus hopes you never see - ProFootballTalk.com is maintaining a running list of teams that have (wisely) stated they have no interest in signing Terrell Owens. I'm not going to copy and paste it here since it seems kind of douche-ish to copy the entirety of someone else's work instead of linking to it. I was somewhat surprised that the list includes the Raiders, who were the first team that came to everyone's mind when they wondered, "Who would drop a boatload of cash on a notorious locker room cancer who has gotten along with precisely nobody in his career and has at most two more productive seasons left in him?" It's also interesting to see the that none of the three of the other teams in the NFC East are interested, which means T.O. won't get the chance to avenge his ouster wearing the uniform of a division rival.

Now that we know T.J. Houshmandzadeh (whose name I can just now finally spell from memory) is officially headed to Seattle, I'm trying to figure out where to move him on my cheat sheet. Given that he'll be 32 around the start of next season, he's obviously someone to approach with caution in keeper leagues, but for redraft purposes, I'm probably even more enthusiastic about him than most.

If you haven't seen them yet, the 2009 Pro Bowl rosters were announced today and you can see the entire teams here. I've already been reading articles mentioning Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams (2nd in NFL for rushing touchdowns, 4th in NFL for rushing yards), Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers (leads the NFL in passer rating and touchdown passes) and Texans rookie running back Steve Slaton as the biggest snubs, while listing Jets quarterback Brett Favre (leads NFL in interceptions) and Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown (17th in NFL for rushing yards, got 4 of 10 touchdowns in one game) as the most undeserving of a roster spot. After reviewing the stats, a few other snubs, who will probably make it anyways after guys drop off due to injuries/injury worries/laziness, include Chicago rookie running back Matt Forte and Lions wide receiver Calvin Johnson (tied for 2nd in NFL in receiving touchdowns.) I'll open it up to the forum for anyone else's opinions on the selections...

With the playoffs in action in many of the fantasy leagues out there, let's just jump into the action that took place this weekend, starting with the Saints and their resurgent ground game...

It's been 13 weeks since the season started and four since my last posting of the top 25 fantasy football players in the game. As I mentioned last time, this is a list of the top fantasy football scorers so far this season, based on a non-PPR league that Matt and I are in, which follows near-standard scoring rules...

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! If you were wishing that the football games would give you reason to ignore your family members and sit on the couch all afternoon, you were probably a bit disappointed with what transpired this past Thursday. In my opinion, this had to be one of the worst weekends of football in a long time, as eight of the fifteen games were near-blowouts, seven were missing a 30 point effort from either of the contestants, and three games featured teams whose leading rusher was either their quarterback or Jacob Hester (who needed one attempt to best LT!) Anyways, it was one of the most important weeks of football from a fantasy perspective, so let's hope that the right guys had big days for your team, starting with the action from Turkey Day...

In case you had the great (read: bad) idea of sneaking the man formerly known as Chad Johnson into your lineup for tonight's game against the Steelers, think again. Ocho Cinco has been benched for violating an undisclosed team rule and should be sitting safely on your team's bench as well. He's been consistently mediocre at the position this season anyways, so this probably doesn't matter to you, but just in case...

To be honest, what I'm really wondering is whether I should start Romo this week. But I'm sure I'm not alone on this one. There are thousands of owners out there who have had to make do with starting their backup for the past few weeks, and while they're chomping at the bit to put Romo back in, they're suspiciously eyeing Romo's ailing pinkie - and Washington's 8th-ranked pass defense.

While I wish I could write about something super-exciting that happened this past weekend in the NFL, there just wasn't a whole lot going on worthy of it. The most interesting thing to happen was probably the Chiefs near-victory over the heavily favored Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so we'll start there...

Here's a look at the players to target on your league's waiver wire this week. This list is ordered by the percentage of ESPN leagues in which the player is available; even if you're not a ESPN user, it's a decent indication of how likely you are to find the player on waivers in your league. We also note here how strongly we feel about this pickup with three categories: Instant Starter, Grab 'n' Stash, or Desperation Pickup.
