Random thoughts

* I received several emails from readers about me picking Santana Moss as a “dud” in Saturdays paper. One reader predicted, “…even though i am a diehard giants fan i say look out for moss this week he torched them last year and is very streaky, portis is at full strength, and giants d is horrid right now…” Moss ended up with three catches for 39 yards a week after posting three touchdowns. I even said in the paper, “You’ve been warned” so if you ignored my advice, I have no sympathy for you.

* As predicted, Lee Evans is starting to put together a nice season. Granted, it’s mostly because the Bills are often trailing in the second half, but if Evans is on your roster he should be starting every week.

* A guy I’m starting to like more and more each week is Reggie Williams. It seems like Byron Leftwich always looks for Reggie in a tough spot. Williams is the best wide receiver on the Jaguars even when Matt Jones in healthy.

* Reggie Bush finally got his first touchdown this season. I told you (8/26) he was going way too early in fantasy football drafts and wasn’t a top-15 running back.

* It was nice to see Frank Gore hold onto the football for an entire game. Gore also led all Sunday running backs with 134 yards on the ground, but it was against the Raiders, who by the way are one of the worst football teams I have ever seen. They are just too bad for words.

*The Colts rushing defense is proving to be a serious weakness. Yes Indianapolis is undefeated, but not for long if they don’t do something about stopping the rush. Travis Henry looked like the Travis Henry of old today, but rest assured that was because of Indy’s horrible defense.

*I’m proud to say that I wasn’t one of the idiots who were predicting a breakout year from Chris Chambers. Sunday Chambers continued his mediocrity with five catches for 29 yards; certainly not the numbers you were looking for if you drafted him in the second round like some suggested.
