A return of the fantasy football LJ update!

Today I face Fresno's team, Valley Fever. This will be a much tougher matchup than last week.

At QB, I like Marc Bulger. Even in a horrible team performance last week he still scored decent fantasy points. I don't know about Carson Palmer. I don't get to watch the Bengals much (though I will today! Go Bengals!). The Vikings D is improved, but is it good? That remains to be seen.

At receiver, I'm nowhere near as good as I was last year. The only plus is that any Bruce TDs count double for me. Also, if Palmer throws any TDs to Houshmandzadeh, they pretty much balance out. So that could be good.

At running back, I like my chances. McAllister and Barber should be a good duo for me this year. I have Willie Parker on my bench as well. Reports are saying that he might get to keep his starting job even when the other Steeler backs get healthy. So, I might have a good backup guy. I don't know. Strider's had Domanick Davis who was awesome for me last year. The other guy I've never heard of, but I see that he is a Cardinal so hopefully that means he sucks.

TE, I don't know. Witten totally sucked last week, but maybe he'll get some catches this week.

Kicker, Akers missed to 49 yard field goals last week, costing me 8 points (since Strider put in a really weird FG scoring system).

Defense, I like my matchup this week. Buffalo should be decent for me this year. However, the Eagles are facing the horrible 49ers, so it might be a good day for Strider as well.

The Lions face the bears in Chicago. I hope they don't suffer a letdown. I think that they should focus on running the ball and make sure they get a coupe touchdowns. It isn't going to take a lot of scoring to win this game for either team, I think.
