Too bad about Biermann.
Another downer is that Peyton Hillis was a healthy inactive yesterday.

Yea, guys like Leonard and Hillis are wasting away while all these obscure black running backs are given chances for only one reason.
Per rotoworld;
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, backup QB Matt Simms "has some real support to play" within the Jets' organization.
"Should Geno (Smith) struggle, worth watching," Schefter reported. Simms is a 24-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Tennessee. He beat out Greg McElroy for the Jets' backup job in August, finishing the preseason with a 74.6 completion rate and 8.1 yards-per-attempt average without a turnover on 59 throws, albeit against deep backups. Smith has been the weak link on a Jets team that has otherwise been better than people expected. If Smith keeps giving the ball to the other team, the Jets' offensive staff may have to seriously contemplate a switch. Geno has five turnovers through two games.
Kiko Alonso had a very nice debut game last week, but outdid himself today -- 9 tackles, 1 assisted tackle, 1 interception, 1 sack. Not a bad day's work.
Manning is ignoring Decker, while lavishing targets on his new magical afflete, Julius Thomas. Meanwhile, Welker has dropped 3 passes.
This was supposed to be a shootout, but so far it has been a really ugly game.
Kaepernick's awful night makes it a good day overall. If you can believe it the DWF where starting to put him in the Rodgers/Manning/Brady/Brees elite category
so that's fun:
Bengals LT Andrew Whitworth (knee) is active for Monday night's Week 2 game against the Steelers.Whitworth practiced on a limited basis all week and was listed as questionable on the injury report. He missed the opener against the Bears. Anthony Collins filled in admirably, but he'll revert back to swing tackle duties. The Bengals declared WR Dane Sanzenbacher, CB Brandon Ghee, RB Rex Burkhead, G Mike Pollak, T Tanner Hawkinson, TE/FB Orson Charles, and DE Margus Hunt inactive.
Sanzenbacher, Burkhead and Hunt (is he hurt?) inactive???seriously, **** NFL
PS oh and Heath Miller is out with a knee injury.
no, they just don't plan on using Hunt, hes a bad fit for the team, same with Shea McClellin with the Bears who is best suited for 3-4 olb, maybe 4-3 RDE, they have him backing up LDE in a 4-3 when they drafted him, maybe we will see them emerge 4 to 6 years down the line like a Kyle Vanden Bosch or Jason Babin, god forbid they start getting close to the career record books, we already have Clay Matthews and Jared Allen. If all Whites were allowed to start right away people would look back at history and think Whites dominated when they played (which they do), but few are given the chance to start right away. Now theres even this myth that Whites take longer to develop and also decline faster. What a joke. John Riggins drank beer every night and ran for a ton of yards through his mid 30's, holds multiple records for performances by oldest rb to put out so many yards. Out of the thousands of black backs given a shot, only Marcus Allen lasted for a similar amount of time with post season success and maybe a a little over a dozen of White rbs 1960 and on and most have had success like Jim Taylor (carried the team on a few championship games), Larry Csonka (only undefeated time), Marv Hubbard, Mark Van Buren (one of them one a superbowl), Craig James, rushed for 100 yards back to back to get his team to the Superbowl and unfortuantely the qb that started the Superbowl is the only qb in Superbowl history to not complete a pass, by the time they benched him it was pass pass pass, James got 5 rushes. Merril Hodge stepped it up and had back to back 100 yard games in the playoffs but his team lost by a few points . And our Defensive linemen seem to last until the mid 30's. Most our guys hit their stride late 20's, and keep on until mid 30's while most blacks decline when they get to 30.
wow you would think Manuel was a super start throwing that fade route that went uncovered to Stevie Johnson for a td, ive only seen it like 12 times and i literally just got home 20 minutes ago.
Doesn't the bungels have to state the reason Burkhead and Sanzenbacher are inactive?? WTF. More and more I have less interest in wasting time watching the NFL. Does anyone know the specific reason these guys are inactive besides being palefaces?so that's fun:
