at

WR	Lee Evans		McAllister is out so he could come up with a good game
WR	Roscoe Parrish		Parrish is a playmaker but lacks consistency

at

TE	Vernon Davis		May see the endzone this weekend

WR	Plaxico Burress		Seems to get a TD every week despite nagging injuries
WR	Amani Toomer		Has been solid in recent weeks

DEF/ST	Giants		If Dilfer starts, awesome matchup

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Kurt Warner		Has a shot at playing Sunday, must have said the same prayers as Kitna.
QB	Tim Rattay		There's a reason he has been sitting at home on Sundays.
RB	Edgerrin James		Offense now squarely on his shoulders.
WR	Larry Fitzgerald		Has been coming on recently, but QB situation is grim.
WR	Anquan Boldin		Should finally make it back to the field, except they'll be running and he'll be blocking.
TE	Leonard Pope		Just say nope to Pope.
DEF/ST	Cardinals		Will have to spend a lot of time on the field against an improving offense.

	Player	Rating	Rationale

RB	Clinton Portis		Knee still lingers, but shouldn't have trouble getting a C note in this one.
RB	Ladell Betts		Role has diminshed recently.
WR	Santana Moss		Dropped way too many passes last week (it was raining, but still) and pulled himself out of the game. What?
WR	Antwaan Randle El		Making up for Moss' deficiencies lately.
TE	Chris Cooley		Another big game for the H-back aginst a vulnerable D.
DEF/ST	Redskins		Sean Taylor growing to like his deep position in the secondary.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Tom Brady		Yes, yes, a hundred times yes.
RB	Laurence Maroney		Says he won't play if there's a chance to put himself at further risk. Game time decision, again...
RB	Sammy Morris		Injury bites Morris just as he was getting into a groove.
RB	Kevin Faulk		3rd down back made the most of his carries last week. Could start.
WR	Randy Moss		It's not if he gets a TD, it's how many?
WR	Wes Welker		Revenge game alert.
TE	Benjamin Watson		Out with ankle injury.
TE	Kyle Brady		Good chance for a TD here.

	Player	Rating	Rationale

WR	Ted Ginn		Welcome to your first start, and your worst nightmare.
TE	David Martin		Hasn't done squat.
DEF/ST	Dolphins		Not going to be pretty.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Damon Huard		Playing a pretty bad pass D.
RB	Larry Johnson		Oakland has been an easy matchup for RBs so far.
WR	Dwayne Bowe		Great year so far and a good matchup.
WR	Sammie Parker		After LJ, Bowe, and Gonzalez there's not much left for Parker.
WR	Eddie Kennison		Still out.
TE	Tony Gonzalez		Should seen plenty of throws his way here.
DEF/ST	Chiefs		Not a bad D, and playing a turnover prone offense.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Daunte Culpepper		KC can be thrown on, but he has a knack for turning the ball over.
RB	Lamont Jordan		Back still hurting, but could get it done through the air.
RB	Dominic Rhodes		A triumverate at RB means don't start him.
WR	Jerry Porter		Should get the ball thrown his way against an iffy secondary.
WR	Ronald Curry		It's either him or Porter that gets a TD, but not both.
TE	Zach Miller		Too inconsistent.
DEF/ST	Raiders		Eh, look somewhere else for a D.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Chad Pennington		Good matchup, but shaky confidence and looking over his shoulder at Clemens.
RB	Thomas Jones		No reason the Bears should have let him get away.
WR	Laveranues Coles		Vulnerable secondary, good play.
WR	Jerricho Cotchery		See above.
TE	Chris Baker		Getting more confidence every week, and it's the Bengals.
DEF/ST	Jets		Can be scored on, move along, nothing to see here.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Carson Palmer		I see you're playing the Jets, congrats on that 300 yard game.
RB	Rudi Johnson		Hasn't practiced much, but might still play.
RB	Kenny Watson		If Rudi is out, he'll have a good game.
WR	Chad Johnson		El Ocho es muy bueno.
WR	TJ Houshmanzadeh		Option 1B in the passing game.
TE	Reggie Kelly		Look elsewhere.
DEF/ST	Bengals		The Bengals, were't they the ones who gave up 50+ to Cleveland? That's what I thought.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Tarvaris Jackson		Great mechanics for a 2nd year player... at handing the ball off.
RB	Chester Taylor		Still starting, and still getting more carries than Peterson.
RB	Adrian Peterson		It should be noted that he is now to be called Purple Jesus.
WR	Bobby Wade		Not a RB, so not an option here.
WR	Troy Williamson		See above.
TE	Visanthe Shiancoe		Once again, see above.
DEF/ST	Vikings		They'll give up some points, a lot of them in fact.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Tony Romo		I see big numbers in his future against this D.
RB	Julius Jones		Tough run D, and he hasn't been too great.
RB	Marion Barber III		Why he isn't the every down starter is beyond me.
WR	Terrell Owens		This will be one of those 'wow' games stat-wise. Vikes are generous vs. the pass.
WR	Patrick Crayton		Should get plenty of action.
TE	Jason Witten		If you don't start him, let me recommend retiring from fantasy football.
DEF/ST	Cowboys		Turnovers should be there for the taking, but they have shown that they give up big plays every now and then.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Brian Griese		Has been better than expected so far.
RB	Cedric Benson		Has been very unimpressive the last few weeks.
WR	Muhsin Muhammed		Found the end zone against Minnesota, but probably not against the Eagles.
WR	Bernard Berrian		Best receiving option this week.
TE	Desmond Clark		Losing ground to Olsen.
TE	Greg Olsen		Seems to be taking over Clark's catches.
DEF/ST	Bears		Westbrook will probably carve them up.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Donovan McNabb		Chicago surrendered a LOT of points last week at home.
RB	Brian Westbrook		Did you see Chicago's defense last week? Enough said.
WR	Reggie Brown		Finally broke through with 89 yards last week, but still a marginal play.
WR	Kevin Curtis		With Westbrook healthy, he will have some good looks.
TE	LJ Smith		1 catch for 8 yards last week - forget about it.
DEF/ST	Eagles		Depends on how much Hester plays, and whether they kick to him.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Marc Bulger		Will start, but hasn't been a fantasy starter all year. Seahawks have looked awful lately, though.
QB	Gus Frerrotte		Might be needed if Bulger gets reinjured.
RB	Steven Jackson		Still out.
RB	Brian Leonard		Rushed for 100 yards against Arizona, but not likely this week.
WR	Torry Holt		With Bulger back, should have improved performance.
WR	Isaac Bruce		Epected to play at Seattle, but has been very spotty lately.
WR	Drew Bennett		Keep looking.
TE	Randy McMichael		Didn't he used to be good?
DEF/ST	Rams		Rams give up a lot of points.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Matt Hasselbeck		Rams have been awful on defense.
RB	Shaun Alexander		Is his career stalling? He has scored 0 TD's in the last 4 games.
WR	Deion Branch		Game time decision. He's a good option if he plays.
WR	Bobby Engram		With Branch hurt, has been getting the job done.
WR	Nate Burleson		A decent chance of scoring against a poor defense.
TE	Marcus Pollard		There's a reason why Indy chose Clark over him.
DEF/ST	Seahawks		Seahawks D has looked terrible the last 2 weeks, but St. Louis is 0-6.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Ben Roethlisberger		TD/INT ratio is 3 to 1 right now.
RB	Willie Parker		Great yardage so far, but TD's are too few. He has a good shot this week against a reeling Denver team.
WR	Hines Ward		Broncos have best pass defense and worst run defense. Start accordingly.
WR	Santonio Holmes		See above comment.
TE	Heath Miller		Not a good matchup.
DEF/ST	Steelers		Broncos will struggle all day.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Jay Cutler		Tough day against solid defense.
RB	Travis Henry		As long as he keeps playing, keep starting him.
WR	Brandon Stokley		With Walker out 6 weeks, his time to shine.
WR	Brandon Marshall		In Walker's absence, will draw heavier coverage.
TE	Tony Scheffler		Mediocre stats so far.
DEF/ST	Broncos		Poor rush defense will be chasing Parker all day.

at

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	Peyton Manning		He plays every week, start him accordingly.
RB	Joseph Addai		Expected to play.
WR	Marvin Harrison		Questionable for Monday's start.
WR	Reggie Wayne		You're lucky if you have him.
WR	Anthony Gonzalez		Downgrade him if Harrison plays.
TE	Dallas Clark		Peyton looks to him for first downs and in the red zone.
DEF/ST	Colts		Jacksonville's running game is formidable.

	Player	Rating	Rationale
QB	David Garrard		Jags made the right move to get rid of Leftwich.
RB	Maurice Jones-Drew		Should have another great week.
RB	Fred Taylor		Can still get yards, but Jones-Drew gets the scores.
WR	Dennis Northcutt		Marginal play.
WR	Ernest Wilford		He's best on the waiver wire, not your bench.
WR	Matt Jones		Probably won't shave for awhile.
TE	Marcedes Lewis		Not worth it - you'll get 3 points a game.
DEF/ST	Jaguars		It's never a good idea to start the defense playing Peyton Manning.
