Can you believe the names that are falling this early in the season? It seems like everyone's having problems, undoubtedly wreaking havoc on fantasy teams everywhere. Uh...the real teams too.

Marcel Shipp on IR. Warrick Dunn is banged up, Travis Henry left the game on Sunday early, Stephen Davis is out for knee surgery, Lee Suggs is out, Darren Woodson is out, Julius Jones is out, Charles Rogers is out for the season, Mike Brown out for season, Priest Holmes may not play Sunday, Kellen Winslow Jr. is out at least 8 weeks, Travis Minor is out, Mark Brunell is sitting Sunday, Edgerrin James may not play Sunday, Moe Williams is out, Michael Bennett is out, Deuce McAllister is out for several weeks, Tim Rattay probably won't play, Trent Dilfer is out indefinitely, Shaun Alexander is banged up...

Clearly some names are bigger than others. But really, that's quite a list, I can't remember any season in the recent past where this many impact players were having injury problems.

I was hoping for a big year from him too. He was supposed to be one of the anchors of my fantasy team.

I agree, I can't remember the last time this many big name players have gone down. It seems to be the same story with every team though. This last week my team (DA BEARS!) lost Mike Brown, Peanut Tillman, and several others. Not good.

I seem to have a way of drafting all the guys that get injured, every year. It started with Steve Smith, and has gone down hill from there.

yup, edgerrin james being out would hurt me. my only other starting running back on my fantasy team is curtis martin and the jets have a bye this week. so if james is out, that means i gotta start jerome bettis and hope he get's some goal line td's against miami. my other back will have to be justin griffith from atlanta. he did good last week with a td, but boy do i hope i can start james.

Todd Heap is out at least two weeks as well.

It is all about Running Backs fellows. You can always find a reciever somewhere. RBs though are dropping all over the place.

It totally sucks to lose your RB in FFL. Sorry to those who did above - oh yeah and like wrongfullyaccuzd said - real football too. .. ....

My whole team is injured.
