"Fantasy Football isn't just a game; it is pride, smack talking and being able to stick out your chest at your co-worker or boss, a best friend, a brother, an uncle or any other relative, foe, neighbor or know-it-all." -- Tod "FFLKING" Brooks

Told you last week not to play the Buccs…don’t play 'em this week either! Campbell will actually have a productive day against this horrid defense. Look for Moss and Cooley to do their thing. The Buccs go 0-4, the Skins move to 2-2

The Ravens play 'em close and the end result is the sole advantage you get (a field goal) when the game is over…Pats by 3 as Brady is forced to the air with relative success against the Ravens D. Baltimore will continue to move the ball, just not enough to take down the Pats.

The Bengals are on a roll and the Brown are not…Browns fans are confused on what QB they should be calling for. The Bengal's defense (which is solid by the way) doesn't help settle the confusion. Look for the Browns to score more than last week…but not much more...maybe one offensive (and I mean offensive as in body odor) touchdown in this one for the Browns.

No question the Giants win the game here…they control the ball on the ground all day long and control the clock. Eli does not have to do much as Jacobs and Bradshaw take care of it. Cassel plays a better game at home and the team gives up on LJ and Charles is in Charge...but the Chiefs still are 0-4 and the Giants are 4-0!

Detroit will make a game out of this one but the Bears will win at home. Lions will be proud after their first win and will take some momentum into the first half…Bears defense will take care of it in the second half and Cutler will do his thing. I look for some points in this one, as well as some entertaining big plays from Megatron

This is one of those games that can go either way in terms of scoring. The series has seen high and low scoring games and is always a close contest. It is hard to find two teams that have dissapointed fantasy owners any more than these two. You have to think that Evans and Owens step up at some point. I would look at better options until you see production from them. For Miami, Ronnie Brown is the only fantasy player you should be playing week in and week out. I know we are taking a chance on this one, but I believe the Fins make just enough plays to beat the Bills. I am playing Jackson on the Bills and Brown for the Dolphins and looking at better options elsewhere.

I have to admit that I am now a Sanchez believer! The Jets Defense came back to earth last week and will hit the ground this week due to the potent Saints attack. Look for the Jets Def to blitz Brees and slow him down. However, with Thomas now healthy, they possess the best and most versatile offense in the league. Start Brees, Colston, Shockey, and Cotchery this week with confidence.

Finally Vernon Davis steps up for the Niners. After a heartbreaking loss to the Vikings, look for Singeltary to have the 49ers ready to play and take out their frustration on the Rams. Glenn Coffee steps in admirably for Frank Gore while Davis shows that he will be a major force at TE the rest of the season. Steven Jackson owners will continue to have limited upside as he will rush for 80 but catch several passes. Sit all Rams players other than him.

Hard to believe that the Broncos are 3-0! Everyone is expecting the Cowboys to ride in and snap the streak. HOLD ON! I am going with the Broncos to move to 4-0, not because they are worthy, but because I belive Dallas will dissapoint on the road. Romo is struggling to find any receivers not named Witten, while Choice is the last back that is healthy. The defensive game plan will be to crowd the safety in against the run and cover Witten. Brandon Marshall will have his best game of the year so far with 95 rec and a touch. Orton, though not spectacular will produce just enough for the W.
