| At Quarterback, let's see how age ('''Brett Favre''' - 1205 yards in September) matches up against youth ('''Tony Romo''' - 1199 yards). At Running Back, let's pit the father of 9 children by 9 different women in 4 different states ('''Travis Henry''' - 433 September yards) against an [http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/27/AR2007012701126.html unabashed supporter] of the Maryland Terrapin women's basketball program ('''LaMont Jordan''' - 424 yards). And, at Wide Receiver, let's pick receivers on teams that appear headed in opposite directions -- Detroit ('''Roy Williams''' - 388 yards, accounting for only 28% of the Lions' receiving total) versus the AFC team from New Jersey ('''Jerricho Cotchery''' - 382 yards, and bearing 44% of Jets' receiving load). | | At Quarterback, let's see how age ('''Brett Favre''' - 1205 yards in September) matches up against youth ('''Tony Romo''' - 1199 yards).

| + | ===Confusion cleared up=== |
| + | The following e-mail message came in from the hilarious Steve McDonald: |
| + | ''Not only is New Orleans not going anyplace; they are not even playing'' |
| + | ''this week. This is not a good omen for those of us who may have picked'' |
| + | ''Drew Brees as a fantasy pick for the 1st 4 weeks, and are securely'' |
| + | ''esconced on the bottom (17th I am, I am) in the fantasy picks scoring.'' |
| + | ''Unless there is something I missed in the rules set down by'' |
| + | ''the Commish, that means my guy sits (0) while Peyton--300+ yards'' |
| + | ''per game--Manning plays. I would accuse you of deception and'' |
| + | ''trickeration, but it appears that you picked DB(like Coooper he'' |
| + | ''disappears without a trace)rees, too. I guess that will teach me'' |
| + | ''never again to blindly trust others(lawyers are notorious for that).'' |
| + | |
| + | :However, I assure that nobody's been "trickerated". The rules clearly state: '''If any of the teams on which these players are rostered have a bye in the schedule, the average of their 3 other games' yardage will be normalized into that blank 4th game.''' |
| + | |
| + | :No harm, no foul. |
