More on those with *'s after the jump...

Star-divide

  • John Carlson booked a solid start for the Seahawks during their 34-10 drubbing at the hands of the TorontoBuffalo Bills.  The good: 4 catches for 52 yards.  The bad:  TE Jeb Putzler got a bunch of looks as well (although he had several key drops).  The ugly:  Carlson, as well as the rest of the Seahawks, whiffed while trying to take down Roscoe Parrish on his 63-yard punt return.
  • Good to see Anthony Fasano flourishing with Head Coach Bill ParcellsTony Sparano and the Dolphins.  Tough loss against the Jets, but great fantasy numbers for a TE.
  • Ndukwe should be back in action for the Bengals this week when the Titans head to the Queen City.
  • The oh-so-quiet murmurs for Brady Quinn have been upgraded to soft whispers following Derek Anderson's 11/24, 114 yard, one TD performance.  The Browns looked lost against the Cowboys, but, for now, it's still Anderson's show.
  • Mo Sto started strong with a tackle on the opening kickoff and by downing a punt within ten yards of the Saints' end-zone, but then left the game with a neck sprain and is listed as questionable for the Bucs next game against Matt Ryan and the high-flyin' Falcons.  A speedy recovery hopefully for one of Rakes' favorite players.
  • Finally, in a development nobodyeveryone saw coming, Ahman Green sprained his ankle in the first half of the Texans season-opener against the Steelers.  If Green can't go this weekend against the Ravens, look for D-Walk to get the call up from the practice squad.  With any luck he'll run over Jim Leonhard, Dawan Landry and Ed Reed so bad that Zibby will get a little more PT too.

That's it for this week.  Players with                  through their names will remain as such until they get re-sigend or retire.  I'll update next week with season totals!  Contain your excitement.

Great feature...

but you are missing John Carney. I know the guy’s almost 45 but he did score some points for the Giants this week.
