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).

===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.
