Nowhere to go but up!

Hey! In some barely-relevant fantasy news, Daunte Culpepper signed with Oakland last weekend. Seeing as how Culpepper serves as his own agent, I guess no one else was there to talk him out of joining the train wreck that we call the Raiders.

If Daunte "Fumblerooski" Culpepper is healthy (big if), he will probably be the starter in Week 1. But don't kid yourself -- after he drops a few farts to keep the seat warm, JaMarcus Russell will take over the QB job. Oakland could be eliminated from serious contention early on this season, so it'll be a great time for Russell to take his lumps and learn the NFL game the hard way -- in regular season games.

Culpepper might provide you with an interesting performance here or there during the first 4 to 8 games of the season, but that's pretty much his upside. Remember last season when people were actually drafting him as their starting QB because they were hoping for a Culpepper resurgence in Miami? Yeah... don't be one of those guys this year. I have him ranked around #30 on my QB cheat sheet, and you should too.
