Rushing into the thick of it
After starting the season 0-4, Omar Al-Sinjari's fantasy football team is riding a red-hot four-game streak that includes three wins and a tie.
With a 111-69 victory against Hy Swartz's SteelCity Thunder, Al-Sinjari's team is now 4-5-1, good for ninth place in the insider league and just one spot out of qualifying for the playoffs. The top eight teams go into the playoffs, which begin in two weeks.
"I’m starting to feel much better about my team," says Al-Sinjari, a Rochester resident. "Now that Tom Brady's bye is over, I have a pretty solid 1-2 punch and hopefully I will make the playoffs."
With 33 touchdown passes on the season, Brady is on pace to break the NFL's single-season mark of 49 set by Peyton Manning in 2004.
Philadelphia’s Brian Westbrook has also been a key contributor for Al-Sinjari's team.
The elusive running back totaled more than 180 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns last week. Overall, Westbrook has more than 1,200 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns.
"He does everything, and the Eagles' offense revolves around him, very much like Marshall Faulk was in the late '90s with the Rams," says Al-Sinjari.
Al-Sinjari is looking for two late-season pickups to help get his team into the playoffs. He picked Seattle wide receiver Bobby Engram and Green Bay running back Ryan Grant off the free agent wire to help offset injuries to Cincinnati’s Rudi Johnson and Denver's Javon Walker.
Engram caught 14 balls for 139 yards and a touchdown in Week 9, and Ryan Grant rushed for 119 yards and a score last week.

1. Don Wolfe, 9-1 (1,108 points*)
2. Todd Clausen, 6-4 (831)
3. Renee Piccirillo, 6-4 (781)
