It appears from reports on various sources that Plaxico Burress has been shot in the leg, and some reports are saying that in fact he shot himself by accident. He was already not going to play this week, but this should mean that he will be out for quit some time.

Fantasy Football Quarterback Pickups: Old vs. New
On November - 22 - 2008
If you want a good tip about Fantasy Football Quarterback Pickups, remember this: never draft a rookie QB as your starter. Do you remember how excited everyone was about Arizona QB Matt Leinart, Tennessee QB Vince Young, Oakland QB Jamarcus Russel, and even Cleveland QB Brady Quinn? Fantasy football managers couldn’t wait to draft them into their line-ups. Big mistake.

If rookies do get lucky enough to start, it’s usually as a fill-in for an injured veteran. The great QBs of today like New England QB Tom Brady, Dallas QB Tony Romo, Denver QB Jay Cutler, San Diego QB Philip Rivers, and New Orleans QB Drew Brees, all watched, studied, and absorbed from the bench before they were able to start and finish a game with notable success. In the last few years, it seems as if more coaches are taking their chances with rookie quarterbacks. Read the rest of this entry »
