Once you click and let the next page load, that's all that's needed - you can come back to this site right then and it's counted. If you click multiple times in a day, just make sure you do it for different ads and not the same exact one. Thanks again, tho. We'll try to get the rankings up extra early next year.

I had to draft way too early which cost me quite a few players that I would have probably looked at earlier than I did b/c none of the various sites I visit regularly (including this awesome one) had their rankings in before my draft. PS: Thanks for the help. I guess Ill start Chambers, Walker and Berrian and hope for the best. PSS: I click on the google ads at least a couple times when I visit the site but I notice that a lot of those want you to click again. Does one need to keep clicking in order to get you guys credit or is it sufficient to click once and then back? Just want to make sure I'm getting you guys credit.

Not only is Gore easily a top-5 RB (assuming he can stay healthy), but the 49ers' schedule actually looks great for him from here on out. --Great team, by the way. Nat - Do the deal.

I might actually write an article on this to further clarify. Keith - I would start Maroney over all of those guys, but I've been wrong with him more than once this year. I think sitting Tatum is obviously the safe move, and Mike looks to be the goal line guy, but Seattle has given up huge weeks to RBs this year. Like Robby said, I did give up a ton for Gates, and last week was a good start, but it's clear Rivers doesn't have even close to the same rapport Brees did with him. And Marty ball makes it tough as well. I'm not optimistic. TV - I agree with Robby, I'm sticking to our rankings as well. I wouldn't call you crazy tho, all have underperformed for weeks now.

TV - I'm sticking with our rankings, Chambers, Jennings and then Bryant. Chambers' complaining may get him a few extra balls this week. You just have to ride him. . . Nat - Trade for Gore. No-brainer. I would expect him to put up better, more consistent #s than Wayne and J. Jones and Chambers are negligible.

Should I deal Julius Jones and Reggie Wayne for Frank Gore and Chris Chambers? Is this a no brainer? Wayne has been outstanding, but the Colts will probably rest him over the next few weeks, and I have Houshmandzadeh & Andre Johnson (plus the addition of Chambers). Chambers or Johnson would ride pine, and Gore would be slotted into my RB/WR spot to supplement Alexander and Addai. No brainer? Need some trade advice from anyone…

Bryant against the soft NO defense, G. Jennings at home against the Jets or do I go with Chambers againt the tough Jacksonville defense? Your ranking show that I should go with Chambers but since I traded for him he has averaged about 4.5 points a game. Bryant isn't much better but it is New Orleans who gives up 10,000 yards passing a game ;) And Jennings is playing at home and supposedly this weekend the weather is going to be just awful here in Illinois which would mean it will be even worse in Green Bay. Right now I have J. Walker, B. Berrian and A. Bryant starting but I can still switch since none of them are playing tonight. Thought appreciated. Ok, do I start A.

Man, there are a lot of tough matchups this weekend. RB's especially seem like a crapshoot. I *think* that Edge should get a lot of carries this weekend, but it's scary to try and predict the Cardinals...just like the Denver RB situation. I just don't think I can start Tatum until I see him have a good game, or at least get a bulk of the carries. This definitely seems like a weekend where the rookie RB's can take a hold of the reigns; I'm personally rooting very hard for DeAngelo Williams, Marroney, and Addai. Not sure if I'll be playing any other than Addai (though I think I'm leaning towards starting Maroney over J. Jones, T.Bell, Caddy and Branch/Braylon Edwards). I don't know, there are a lot of close calls. You know, one of the strange things this season has been the return to Earth of Gates. I don't even know if I'd call him the #1 TE any more. As nicely as Rivers has developed, I'm really surprised he hasn't thrown to him more, and he has had several games which he's basically been invisible...which I don't recall ever happening the last couple years. Winslow, Heap, maybe Watson, and occassionally Crumpler, seem to all at least be in his league these days. I wish I'd gotten a top-2 pick in just one league this year so I could have had one sure-fire RB starter. Thank God Gore dropped to me in the 3rd round in one league, and here's to hoping that he gets those goal-line carries back! Rankings look good. Man, there are a lot of tough matchups this weekend.

I really hope Colston can come back because I have both him and Brees. Great rankings guys, I agree on almost every one….What exactly is YPA?

Guess who has the fifth-best QB rating there? Jake Plummer. Of course, Brees is first in YPA and Plummer 21st. Just one more reason showing why YPA is the best indicator of overall performance. Brees is leading the NFL with 33 passes over 25 yards, and that's not just YAC either. Here are his stats on passes thrown more than 20 yards from scrimmage: 23-for-37 for 993 yards with 12 TDs (five-for-five over 40 yards in the air). Wow.
