Need Fantasy Football Bye Week Help?

If the Bills name QB Kelly Holcomb as the starter - you can probably find Lee Evans, WR on the waiver wire by now. We are very high on Evans - we simply underestimated how low even J.P. Losman could go.

Anybody notice that David Givens WR of New England has had 15 receptions in his last two starts?

With Cadillac Williams on the injury list we doubt he is going to get 30 carries in Week 5. Is Michael Pittman available? He is a good choice for a number 3 RB or flex player!

The Seahawks are being hit by the injury bug too this week. Both WR's Bobby Engram and Darrell Jackson are on the injury list as doubtful. It is very possible that Peter Warrick and Joe Jurevicius will be the Seahawks' starting wideouts this week. We like Jurevicius best of the two because of his nose for the end zone (2 TD's on 7 receptions through Week 4.)

Green Bay may be a good place to find a fill-in wideout. Check if WR Antonio Chatman is available in your free agent pool - he will be a good third receiver.

Keep an eye on Final Countdown this week - if T.J. Houshmandzadeh's injury keeps him out of the game this week, think about the Bengals' Chris Henry as your third receiver.

Have a good week of fantasy football!
