Justal Pittgas

I simply do not have the time to link to every article stating that you need need NEED to go out and claim either Michael Pittman or, to a lesser extent, Justin Fargas.

As you can probably guess from the title, I'm not really all that impressed with either. Pittman has burned me a number of times over my short FFB career, either as a waiver wire pickup or as a draftee. I seem to recall a game where he ended up benched in favor of someone named Jamel Cook (correct me if I'm wrong).

Fargas, well, give the experts credit for having a little common sense. They'll acknowledge that Dominic Rhodes is due back in Week 6, but they're still a little too high on Huggy Bear's son. Fargas has done this for a couple of years now - take over in the fourth quarter and run well (after the primary back wore down the D for 3+ quarters). He never looks as good again.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go put a waiver claim in on Kenton Keith to backup Joseph Addai *sigh*.

Another question for you:

Stephen Jackson is availiable. Should i pick him up hoping he turns it around? I have AP from MN and LT with Derek Ward as backup. Should I take a chance on him?

what would you be giving up for him? if it's not too much, then sure. RBs are like currency.
