Edge is el Hombre!


Mr. James is a fantasy stud RB. In my "other" fantasy league (16 teams) and a live draft, he was my #1 pick. He had a crappy first week point-wise, but he DID rack up like 142 yards which is impressive. Considering that he had three fumbles all of last YEAR, I think we can say having two fumbles in one game is an abberation.

Generally speaking, running backs are the work horses of any fantasy football team. If you dont have two studs and at least one very good-to-stud RB on your team, odds are not good that you'll be doing much of anything.

Comparatively, it's hard to find a QB that will out-produce another QB by such a significant margin as to warrant a top-shelf status. Culpepper is up there, but just baaaarely not quite to Mr. James' status and Culpepper is only really sniffing the upper eschelon because he's got Randy Moss (who is a much better value in fantasy football!)

With so few teams in our league, there's a ton of quality players still hanging out there on the free agent list.
