Two new starters

It looks like adding Derrick Ward and Kolby Smith will be the biggest fantasy football trend this week. The latest news I've heard is that Ward might be ready to take over for the injured Brandon Jacobs (you're welcome for those of you who took my advice and traded him away) and Smith might be the new starter in Kansas City.

The news on Holmes' injury is pretty recent and I've already got two emails from people asking my thoughts on Smith. Honestly, I don't like him. However he has a great chance to shine this week because he's playing the Raiders. I've got him on my roster for that reason this week in one league and I'll basically start him as a RB3. Smith will do an average job, upgrade him in points per reception leagues and downgrade him in touchdown heavy formats.
