I think down the line, buffalo made a good choice, but fantasy wise, if he is other than your backup you may be in trouble. The good thing is, with him at QB, teams will key on McGahee, and with Moulds and Evans on the outside, he may have a few good games stat wise.

I agree. Even as a backup, I think he is a little risky compared to opther options. Honestly, unless you are drafting P Manning, Culpepper, or McNabb, there isnt a QB you can pick up in the 3rd round that is noticebly better than one you can grab in the 8th.

Add on the fact that most Fantasy coaches avoid AB because he sucks in real football. AB is a nice backup to get, because he puts up great fantasy numbers. Luckily in Fantasy Football, his last minute fumble that ends all hope of winning the game doesnt have much effect on his fantasy numbers.

Then, there are the questionables, like Joey Harrington (Poised to breakout or bust, but the breakout will be big if it happens) or Kurt Warner (Giants didnt have the greatest recievers in the game, and lets face it, the Giants we winning until they pulled Warner. His experience was winning them games, even if he was struggling physically. He has had time to recover from any injuries he had, so he could be a nice option with all the recieving talent they have in Arizona. Carson Palmer is another good option. He is really coming into his own. Carr and Leftwich are great backups with a few years experience.

The only way I would take Losman is MABYE in a keeper league. I have a much healthier respect for his future than his present.
