Sorry, guys. I've been busy this week and haven't been keeping up with my posts. Don't worry though, because now you'll get all the usual info in one gigantic post.

I'm not going to waste any time. Here are some FanDuel bargains and busts, which will be really helpful if you plan to beat me in this week's $150 Beat the Expert tournament:

BARGAINS

Cam Newton (QB - CAR), $8,000: Newton has a favorable matchup this week against the struggling Jaguars. Look for Newton to have a game more in line with Week 1 than Week 2. For the price, Newton could be worth a start.

Ryan Matthews (RB - SD), $7,700: With Mike Tolbert's status in question, look for Matthews to get the majority of carries, which should be the case even when Tolbert is healthy. Another plus for Matthews is his matchup against the Chiefs. Last week, Jahvid Best torched Kansas City for 2 touchdowns on 123 combined yards. Especially if the Chargers get out to a big lead, we could see a lot of Ryan Matthews on Sunday.

Ben Tate (RB - HOU), $6,400: With Arian Foster's status once again in doubt, look for Tate to carry the bulk of the load. For this price, Tate could be the best bargain out there.

Each week Greg Boyce, my colleague on the sports desk at Philly.com, will scour the waiver wire to bring you the best options to fill those pesky holes on your roster. Here is his report for Week 3:

Before we get into Week 3, I just want to go back to my suggestions last week. Eric Decker (5-113, 2 TDs) and Devery Henderson (3-103, TD) had very good games. Unfortunately, people have jumped on them. On ESPN, they have both been added in over 30% of leagues. But they are not 100% owned so they might still be available in your league and I still support picking them up.

Onto Week 3.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Denarius Moore OAK (Yahoo 21%, ESPN 10%)

Since the Eagles don't play until tonight, I'll actually have some time to breathe today. Therefore, I am going to be running a chat all day providing live updates, scores, and most importantly roster advice.

I'll be hopping in as much as possible to answer questions, but I have a full slate of twitter feeds being pulled in to keep you up to date.

With Week 1 in the books, it now becomes a battle between reality and illusion. Were big games by Cam Newton, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Chad Henne, Kenny Britt and others more of the exception rather than the rule?

How about poor games by Chad Ochocinco, Rashard Mendenhall, Dwayne Bowe, and Vincent Jackson (just to name a few)?

The worst thing you can do is panic, and abandon a top talent because of a bad week or two. It's way too early for that.

This afternoon, I posted on some bargains and busts for this weekend, and earlier in the week I posted on some waiver wire options. Next, let's take a look at some players on the bubble this weekend in Start vs. Sit:

Cam Newton (QB - CAR): It's hard impossible to ignore what Cam Newton did in his NFL debut last Sunday. This weekend, however, he doesn't face the warm and inviting Cardinals defense, but rather the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers. Look for Newton take a page out of the playbook of Sir Isaac Newton (no relation) and learn a little lesson in gravity: He'll return to earth. VERDICT: SIT

Ben Tate (RB - HOU): Arian Foster will likely return to the Texans lineup this weekend, but it may not neccessarily mean the end for Ben Tate. Tate was productive in Houston's Week 1 drubbing of the Colts. He'll likely play a significat role again as the Texans ease Foster back into the lineup. I own Foster and Tate on the same team and I may consider starting Tate over Foster, depending on his health. How's that for a vote of confidence? VERDICT: START

Earlier, I posted on Week 2 of the Fantasy Football Diary. But now, it's time to get into some more serious analysis of this weekend's fantasy football landscape.

First, let's take a look at some players that will help you in this weekend's $150 FanDuel Beat the Expert game:

BARGAINS

Reggie Bush (RB - MIA), $6,100: Bush had a good game against the Patriots in Week 1. Look for more of the same Sunday against the Texans. Now that he is the feature back in Miami, Bush will see more carries than he saw in New Orleans, but it's still his ability in the receiving game that makes him such a threat. At this price, you could do worse...much worse.

Vincent Jakcson (WR - SD), $6,300: Jackson didn't really impress last week, but if the Patriots defense can allow Chad Henne to throw up big points, then I can only imagine what that will mean for Philip Rivers. This game could be very high scoring, with both quarterback trying to keep up with the other, and I expect Jackson to be a big part of that.

Rex Grossman (QB - WAS), $6,500: I never thought I'd put Rex Grossman down as a bargain. No matter how cheap, he'll always feel like a bust to me. Not this week, however, as he faces the same Cardinals defense that allowed Cam Newton to throw for over 400 yards in his NFL debut. I don't expect him to put up 30 points, but at such a low price, Grossman will allow you to go all out on your other positions.

Yesterday, I had some potential waiver wire acquisitions at wide receiver and tight end, brought to you by my colleague, Greg Boyce. This morning I have something a little different for you.

Each week, I am previewing my matchup in the Fantasy Island Football League by allowing my opponent to take over my blog and post a little something about himself (or herself). Coming off a Week 1 blowout win, I'm looking to improve to 2-0 against Greg M. (a.k.a @News_Junkie8008).

Greg was on his honeymoon last week, so I won't hold the fact that he started an inactive Arian Foster against him. He was probably preoccupied. That move didn't help, obviously, as Greg fell to 0-1. Despite the loss, he was still able to put up a good amount of points, so I should have my hands full - especially if Foster plays.

What is interesting is how much stock we have in Sunday night's Eagles-Falcons game. I have Michael Turner and Michael Vick playing, while Greg will start Matt Ryan. This game could come down to the wire. I just hope I don't find myself rooting for a late Turner touchdown.

Anyway, here is a little more about Greg, and his fantasy football strategy:

Team: @news_junkie8008
Name: Greg M.
Age: 26
From: Delco
Occupation: Law clerk and soon to be lawyer (waiting on bar results)
Marital Status: Recently married
Hobbies: Twitter, pick-up/intramural sports, craft beer, watching netflix 

When I first started this blog, I told some of my colleagues that they were more than welcome to use this space to post their own fantasy advice. As I've mentioned before, I am a big fan of getting different voices out there, since there are so many different opinions.

One of the first to send me something to post is Greg Boyce, who is 1-0 in my work league with the third highest point total. Greg graduated from Penn State and has been working on the sports desk at philly.com for the better part of a year.

Here is his advice on some potential waiver wire aquisitions at the wide receiver and tight end positions:

WIDE RECEIVERS

Davone Bess, MIA (Yahoo 55%, ESPN 42%)

Undrafted, not just in your league, but in the NFL as well, the Rainbow Warrior has shined with Chad Henne. In 2010, he had 11 games of five or more receptions and was 12th in the NFL in that category. On Monday night, in a pass-heavy game, Bess was targeted seven times and made five catches. Sure, Brandon Marshall hogs much of the attention and the elite receiver was hurt late in the game. Though Marshall looks good to go on Sunday, Bess is a PPR league owner’s best kept secret.

Here are three things I learned in the first week of the 2011 Fantasy Island Football League:

1. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A WOMAN

Week 1 of the FIFL is in the books. If I've learned one thing, it's not to underestimate girls.

The league consists of 11 men, and one very brave woman. Shawna, owner of team Vital Vipers, reached out to me and asked to join the league. I figured it would be good to have a female in the league, but never expected her to be a threat to my title hopes.

Week 1 certainly proved me wrong, as she went out and not only won her game, but outscored every single man in the league. I'm impressed to say the least. It seems fantasy football is no longer just a "man's game."

2. PRESEASON RANKINGS ARE STUPID

I know Week 1 isn't over yet, and there is a distinct possibility that one or more players from tonight's Monday Night Football doubleheader will light up the fantasy scoreboard, but this will be a weekly tradition. Each Monday, I'll recap the weekend's top scorers, and take a look at what the national media is saying about one or more of those players.

This weekend, some of the big players are stalwarts on this list (see: Drew Brees and Ray Rice), while some were surprises (see: Mike Tolbert and Kenny Britt). 

Then there were the others. Those guys at the top of the list. You know, that 1st overall pick who wasn't built to be an NFL passer and his aging wide receiver. Yes, I'm talking about Steve Smith and Cam Newton.

Newton became the first rookie quarterback to throw for over 400 yards in his NFL debut, connecting with Smith for two touchdowns and rushing for another.

So were we all wrong? Is Newton going to be the next big thing? The next Michael Vick? Donovan McNabb?

Lets look at what the national media are saying:
