My brother had the second pick in his NFL fantasy draft this year. Last year, he drafted RB Larry Johnson. However, the fantasy geniuses all suggested taking RB Steven Jackson after Ladanian Tomlinson.

He asked for my opinion. I of course agreed with the fantasy sports wizards. I recommended Jackson myself. He was really deliberating between Jackson and Shaun Alexander, who was coming off surgery in the first half of last season, but finished strong.

Of course, my brother drafted Jackson second and now is dealt with a huge dilemma. Jackson has not done shit this season and is apparently out for this week's game due to a groin injury.

Dan Shanoff feels my pain.

"NFL Injury Watch: Steven Jackson, one of the most disappointing fantasy players of the season so far, will miss at least one week with a groin injury. Can you think of a year recently when the consensus No. 1 (LT), 2 (SJ) and 3 (LJ) fantasy players have gotten off to such sorry starts?"

At least LJ and Tomlinson have yet to fair any better. Would you believe that Willie Parker is leading the league in rushing yards? Yahoo Rushing Statistics

By the way, Deuce McAlister was just reported to be out for the season.

I guess he should have drafted Peyton Manning.
