After a week off, let’s take a look at five things that buck trends or are just a little bit out there. Or maybe not too out there.
1. Steve Breaston will lead the Cardinals in receiving this week. Anquan is nursing a sore ankle, and Larry Fitzgerald has only had one 100-yard game this season. Breaston had 6 receptions for 86 yards against the Giants in their last meeting. Wouldn’t be a shock to see him right around the 90-100 yard mark with a score this week.
2. Eagle QBs will account for at least 3 TDs against the Washington Redskins on MNF. Donovan McNabb will throw for at least one, and Mike Vick might get his first Wildcat score. The Redskins are real, real bad, in case you haven’t noticed.
3. Oakland wins its second in a row. Look, the Jets were a nice story to start the season, but Mark Sanchez is looking like a rookie, and he’ll have fits getting his WRs the ball against a very under-rated Raider secondary. And the Raiders are athletic enough up front to cause some havoc in the trenches.
4. Matt Schaub leads all QBs in fantasy scoring this week. The Niner secondary has a few injury concerns and even if they were all healthy, the Texans have the horses to put up big time numbers.
5. Joseph Addai, Donald Brown, Reggie Wayne, Pierre Garcon, Austin Collie and Dallas Clark all gain at least 50 yards. Is it really that crazy to think this? No Will Witherspoon for the Rams anymore. Some guy named Craig Dahl starting at safety. It’s gonna be like shooting fish (or in this case, Rams) in a barrel for Peyton Manning, and then the RBs will mop up.

Breaston was H0RRENDOUS week # 7…. Don’t quit your day job my friend…. Lou
