The BYE weeks are now upon us (in full effect, H.Ike), and injuries are starting to pile-up. Willie Parker is out, and Westbrook, McNabb and Ruthlessburger are all on peoples' minds. Early season NFL disappointments are either going to be benched (Bulger) or soon will (Kitna & D.Anderson). A lot of perennial stars have disappointed this year. So what i'm trying to say is that, with a combination of the first BYE week of SIX teams sitting, plus the injuries, NFL roster adjustments and our first DOUBLE WEEK, the stakes are raised as usual at this time of our fantasy season.
Now, onto this week's featured EFS games:
rockford private eye @ lost and found...some help
No one in division 4 can afford to lose if they want to keep apace of the Legend. That's Rockford's task coming in thin at OG and wondering who to start at RB, missing Justin Tuck. Lost and Found has the best PPG in his division but trails Marauders. The L&F tag-team will need to rely on Felix Jones at RB and will be without two TEs and Wes Welker.
the rat patrol @ marauders 666
The Marauders are back on top of the division for the first time in a while. He'll need to survive his mess at QB and the absence of Corey Webster, Rodney Harrison, Ant.Pierce, Joey Porter and his top 2 RBs (with only Darren Sproles remaining). The Rat Patrol has a good 411 PPG and comes into this game relatively injury-free and without any major BYE losses.
the omen @ warlord phantoms
The Omen is looking for his second title. Warlord Phantoms have revamped their team past respectability into firm contention for not only the division, but a force against anyone (except Legend). The Peyton-R.Wayne hookup is on leave for Omen this week. Warlord will be scant at OT and has to wonder about his top 2 RBs, but otherwise looks fine. This could be a tie-breaker for the #2 seed (to Legend).
