			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tony-romo-crying.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-407" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 5px; float: left;" title="tony-romo-crying" src="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/tony-romo-crying.jpg" alt="tony romo injured" width="224" height="175" /></a></p>
<p>***Breaking News***</p>
<p>Tony Romo &#8212; DONE.  Tony Romo is out four weeks with a broken pinky finger.  Grab Brad Johnson, who will fill in for Tony Romo, if you can for several reasons.  Brad will produce numbers, not Tony Romo numbers, but numbers none the less.  The run game that Dallas will now have to rely upon without Tony Romo will open up the pass game.  Not deep balls, but consistent numbers, and passes to two very talented backs who can break a two yard pass for an enormous touchdown.</p>
<p>I expect Brad Johnson to average a little over 200 yards passing with 2 touchdowns and a pick or two a game.  If you don&#8217;t need him, pick him up to screw Tony Romo owners or other teams weak at the QB Position.  Johnson could provide a decent return in a trade.</p>
<p>Now onto the Fantasy Football Week 6 Recap:</p>
<p><span id="more-406"></span></p>
<p>For those of you who followed my <a href="http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2008/10/fantasy-football-sleeper-focus-nfl-week-six/" target="_blank">Fantasy Football Sleeper</a> advice when in a bind last week, you should be enjoying your decisions.  The closing to my predictions and analysis was gospel, &#8220;Avoid Patriots At All Costs!&#8221;  If you were like me and forced to start Sammy Morris, you were not too disappointed as he found the end zone finishing with 12 points.  But any other Patriot left you with next to no points.  Sorry, you should have listened.</p>
<p>I called three sleepers out to you for Week 6, those being Deuce McAllister, Tim Hightower and John Carlson.  They performed as follows;</p>
<p>Deuce McAllister- 13 carries equaling 65 yards with 2 receptions for seven yards totaling 6 points.  Deuce McAllister could have had far greater results but was not given many goal line attempts, hence Reggie Bush&#8217;s rushing touchdown.  He did however spit carries with Bush, and saw a few passes out the the backfield.  The opportunity for success was there, he just didn&#8217;t cash in.  Overall Grade: C</p>
<p>Tim Hightower- 7 carries, 20 yards with 4 receptions totaling 29 yards equalling 4 points.  If Larry Fitzgerald does not come down with that unbelievable touchdown in the red zone, Tim Hightower could have ended up with his staple 1 touchdown per game.  Obviously Arizona felt they had a better chance to pass on Dallas&#8217;s D versus run into it.  Tim Hightower had just two less carries than Edgerrin James, and was the third leading receiver for Arizona.  He too had chances to post good numbers.  Overall Grade: C-</p>
<p><img class="alignright" style="border: 5px solid black; margin: 5px; float: right;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2936190939_04e56b2cf1.jpg?v=0" alt="fantasy football sleeper focus" width="220" height="202" />John Carlson- Carlson was Seattle&#8217;s only source of offense on Sunday with 4 grabs for 22 yards and a touchdown, posting 8 points.  With a real quarterback, Carlson&#8217;s numbers would have been even better.  Carlson outscored Ben Watson, Donald Lee, Vernon Davis, L.J. Smith, Jason Witten, Leonard Pope, Daniel Graham, Chris Baker, Ben Utech, Bubba Franks, Dallas Clark, Zach Miller, Todd Heap, Visanthe Shiancoe, Chris Cooley, Owen Daniels, Anthony Fasano, Greg Olson and many others.  He only lost to Antonio Gates by a point.  If you listened, this was genius,. Overall Grade: A++</p>
