My $0.02: ("advice" vs. "talk" forum issues be dammed)
Your RBs are sure to be fine. I like Henry more than Westbrook - at least in the 2nd half of the season after Buf stops playing against monster D's.
You've got an average TE, but just plug Johnson in and see what he can muster -- I actually like TEs with bad offensive teams & bad QBs, so by that standard EJ should be solid ; )
McNabb CAN keep this up for the rest of the season (within reason - he won't always be 350, 2Pa, 1Run, 0Ints, but close), I believe.
But your WRs are definite cause for concern. First of all, I'd encourage trading Bruce while you can. Trying for something like a Chad Johnson, or use him in a trade to upgrade a RB (something like Westbrook & Bruce, for Fraud & K-Rob or Faulk & Plaxico, something like that).
I can't believe that in an 8-team league you're going to be using Marty Booker in the near future. Not much you can do with Moulds - too good to dump, and Fitzgerald is at an all-time low. Packaging something to upgrade your starting WRs would be priority one for me.
Last thing I have to say: I was about to say the Skins D is a waste of space with Philly, but I just looked at their upcoming schedule and damn if it doesn't look like some strong plays for them. They and Philly have similar opponents, but Philly's D gets a lot more credit (and rightly so). But I would think about trading away the Philly D if that would increase your trade prospects.
Out of curiosity, who are the top WRs & TEs available in your FA pool?
Good luck. Don't sit tight with those WRs. Though easier said than done - my two leagues are filled with owners who don't like to trade at all.
... in my opinion, of course - but that should always go without saying.
