In case anyone hasn't noticed, the season starts this week with a Thursday night game between New Orleans and Minnesota. You need to have any players on those teams in or on the bench before the game starts.

Jeff and others: How do you know if a specific player will be playing in a particular game (is there a place where you can find the starting lineups for each game, before the game starts). Also, what happens if a player gets injured in the middle of a game or gets taken out?

You look at the My Team tab and it will tell you who your players are playing and what time they are playing. You also need to watch for injuries as some players will be game time decisions over the course of the season. Injuries are really the only thing that will keep most players out of the lineup unless you drafted some second/third string people.

You will also see projected points for each of your players. This is the projected scoring that the wizards at ESPN have posted for each player. They are often far from accurate but can help you in deciding who to play.

You can also look at the scoreboard tab to see the projected spread for your game this week. You are a 5 point favorite over Nate right now.

If they get injured or taken out you are stuck with them. That is why picking a player that won't be benched and hoping that they make it through the game without injuries is what you need. Some of it comes down to luck, some to research/planning.

You are playing Raffy and you are a 18 point favorite over our returning champ. Vicki is a 5 point favorite over Nate.

Unfortunately, you will find that those projections are rarely all that accurate. I was in that position, projected to beat Dinny soundly first game last year, when we were at DanJam, and he destroyed my team.

Yeah, it looks like you might start your Fantasy Football career by destroying our returning champ. I knew Arian Foster was someone that I wanted.

Your (Shelly) team is killing Raffy's. I'm liking Manning on my team right now. Nate's beating me so far, but I'm hoping Gore and Forsett will pick up some big points later today, and the Jets defense can give me something tomorrow. It might be close.

So, here's something I don't understand: my TE isn't going to be doing much for awhile and i don't have another tight end. Can I get one, though the pickings might be slim at this point?

You can pick up and drop players each week from the waiver wire. Go to the players tab and you can pick a new player. Waivers all go through on Wednesday I guess and then you will find out if you got the player or if someone that is higher on the waiver list picked your player up. Right now the Waiver list is reverse draft order.

Good pick with Peyton Vicki. He threw a lot of passes today... although not enough to be the Texans (who finally beat the Colts :) ). Speaking of QBs, if the Texans keep running with Foster, my QB (Schaub, Texans) isn't going to be accumulating many points.

Bah. Unless the Jets defense becomes superheroes tomorrow, I lost.

Stranger things have happened Vicki.

Shelly, I'd be happy to offer up David Garrard in a trade. He logged a reasonable 25 points today on my bench. :)
