Tony Romo is headed back under center, but is he the answer to the Cowboys problems?

I got nothing for you this week. I’m still in shock that we elected a black President. It just goes to show how bad of a job George Bush did. He was so bad he got the country to warm up to a black man being President of the United States. That’s one hell of an accomplishment. Now, onto the New World Order:

Inside the Huddle

I spent four years in the NFL and still have many contacts around the league. Here is what I’m hearing:

--Unless the Jaguars finish the season strong and somehow make the playoffs, Jack Del Rio is all done in Jacksonville. The Jaguars thought coming into the year that they were legitimate Super Bowl contenders but instead, they are just trying to sneak into the postseason as a wild card team. If Del Rio is canned, expect the team to make a serious push to bring in Bill Cowher.

--Tony Romo is almost fully recovered from his broken pinky that’s sidelined him for the last three games. Romo will start this Sunday night at Washington and while the Cowboys have many more problems other than Romo being out, this is great news for fantasy owners. Remember, Felix Jones will be back in the next couple of weeks as well so while Dallas’ defense may still suck, the offense should start to resemble the unit we saw in the first month of the season.

--I talked to one of my guys from Philly and he told me that Brian Westbrook is playing through terrible pain. Westbrook is known as a warrior in NFL circles and he’s earning that moniker by playing through broken ribs. However, while Westbrook is one of the best fantasy players on the planet, we could start seeing a little more of Correll Buckhalter over the last month of the season if Westbrook’s ribs continue to bother him.

Who’s Hot

Jason Hill, WR 49ers – Hill had a solid game on Monday night, catching seven passes for 84 yards. I was really high on Hill coming out of Washington State a couple of years ago and he fits into my "Second-Team Theory." My second-team theory is when a backup QB takes over like Shaun Hill has in San Fran, he's likely to key on a second or third-team receiver. Why? Because those are the receivers he’s throwing to the most in practice. The most famous case of this was Carson Palmer and T.J. Houshmanzadeh. Once Palmer became the QB in Cincy, he began locking in on Housh. So, while 49er receivers don't offer a ton of upside, keep an eye on Hill. If Shaun Hill is the starter for the rest of the year, Jason Hill could be become his favorite target due to the chemistry they built up together in practice.

Peyton Hillis, RB Broncos - Back when the Fire Sale was worth reading (when I wrote it) someone e-mailed me and said one of his friends was a freshman RB at Arkansas. His friend's name was Peyton Hillis. He told me to keep an eye out for him, so I followed Hillis' career closely. And while Hillis never became the runner some thought he would be, he was a very valuable player for Arkansas. I thought the Broncos got a real steal by getting Hillis in the seventh round. Now Hillis may have to be thrown into action with all the injuries to the Broncos backfield. And while I don't see him running for 100 yards a game, I do see him becoming a fantasy factor. Hillis is an excellent receiver and short yardage runner. I think Mike Shanahan will find ways to use Hillis' strengths in the Broncos offense. So, while Hillis may not be the next Terrell Davis, he does offer fantasy owners some upside with his versatility.

James Hardy, WR Bills – Hardy hasn’t done a lot during his rookie season in Buffalo but he’s a guy I really like in keeper leagues. I’m sure some people like me took over bad teams in keeper leagues and we are playing more for next season. I would recommend keeping a close eye on Hardy. At 6-6, Hardy is great at snagging the jump ball near the goal line and I think he has a lot of upside for the future. As he and Trent Edwards grow together and get more used to each other, I expect Hardy to take over as the Bills No. 1 receiver as soon as next season.

Who’s Not

Willie Parker, RB Steelers - For Willie Parker owners like me, things sure are getting frustrating. After a solid performance in his return last Monday night against the Redskins, it appeared that Parker was ready to resume his role as one of the NFL's top backs. But then he sat out again this week with a bad shoulder against the Colts. My advice would be to not count on Parker for the rest of the season. It seems like it's going to be one of those years where Parker suffers one injury after another. If you do have Parker, make sure you have some insurance. Perhaps picking up a guy like Peyton Hillis.

Sage Rosenfels, QB Texans - This guy sucks. I don't think four interceptions is what we were looking for out of him. I think we found out why Rosenfels is a backup quarterback. I actually thought Rosenfels was going to be a solid fantasy QB. So much so that I picked him up in my stupid two QB league. It just goes to show that even fantasy football legends like me can be wrong from time to time. Only start this shoemaker if need be against terrible defenses.

Bernard Berrian, WR Vikings – What were the Vikings thinking giving this stiff all that money? Berrian is a poor man’s Joey Galloway. A very poor man. In the Vikings biggest game of the year, Berrian responded with a whopping zero catches. For the season, Mr. Fly Route has just 30 receptions. So much for him becoming a No. 1 receiver. Normally a receiver who runs poor routes and a quarterback that throws more completions to the other team than his own isn’t a great recipe for fantasy success. So far in 2008, Berrian has proven that theory to be true.

Boner of the Week – Mike Singletary. A fullback dive? Seriously? That’s your call with the game on the line? Listen, I’m a Singletary supporter but another call like that and I’m going to dump him faster than I did my girlfriend a few years back when she claimed to be pregnant. Of course, at his post-game press conference, Singletary said it was Mike Martz’ call and we never liked him, so let’s just put the blame on that douche instead.
