I think one if not both are going to have a big day. If the Saints game plan to put eight in the box to stop Larry I think Thigpen could be in for another big game. Which i think they will since them like most NFL teams are still not sold on the guy. If they try to play the pass, then I expect Larry to run wild.

Nothing comfirmed. A little combine review by Gil brandt on him. Gil Brandt, of NFL.com, reports Cal-Poly LB Kyle Shotwell measured a height of 6-foot 1/4 and a weight of 225 pounds at his Pro Day. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.56 seconds, the short shuttle in 4.42 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.94 seconds. He measured a 35 1/2-inch vertical jump, a 10-foot-1 broad jump and completed 23 repetitions on the 225-pound bench press.

I have always said that I can't bring myself to having to root for the Broncos or Raiders to score because I have some of their players on a fantasy team. If I couldn't have all Chiefs then I wouldn't want it at all. Thigpen continues to do well....I'm impressed. The guy has had only 4 starts on a team that has, lets face it, been very poor on offense and defense and has been injury ridden and yet he has had very very good games and come within a nat's eyelash of winning in 3 of those starts. Sure he probably will have some games yet where he struggles....what QB doesn't. But if he stays consistent the rest of the year then it's a no brainer he should be the Chiefs man for the foreseeable future. This is what the Chiefs have needed for the longest time....a QB with a future. Gump….your assessment of fantasy football matches mine exactly.

ESPN was reporting (on their scroll) that Davis has taken play calling away from his OC, they didn't say who was going to be handed the duties. Think maybe Al is going to start calling all the offensive plays instead of just the occasional brain fart he tends to have? There ya Go Bob, how about being GM for the raiders, there's a FANTASY team. LOL Sounds like Big Al The Kiddies Pal is at it again.

You have an idea what player coming into Arrowhead may make you pull your hair out, and/or rate our own athlete against him. 3. You already have a good look at possible free agent pick-ups for the Chiefs to aquire, and then rant about not getting on this site via your past FF teams. 4. and lastly, even if the Chiefs lose, you still have a chance of REALLY smoking that smack talker in your FF league that you work with day in and day out and rub his face in it until the next time you play him, and really.... isn't that what football is all about?!

I have players I like on other teams, and follow them. I have other teams I like a little, and other teams I hate, and I end up watching pretty much everything to see how it turns out, to get a line on future opponents, etc. Fantasy Football would not help me in the slightest. I have no problem with other people liking it. The only problem I have with it is it has skewed reporting on NFL games. Now we get endless lists of WR reception totals scrolling along the bottom of the ESPN screen when I'd prefer getting game updates. I’m interested in all the games anyway.

I signed him yesterday morning as I was unsatisfied with my current starter and figured New Orleans has a bad D anyway. I will take a small chunk of blame if Thigpen plays terrible this week guys. Three great games just seemed like enough fantasy proof for me. I enjoy fantasy football. Never play for money, but some friends and I get a free league on yahoo every year.
