The best way to attack the Saints defense is to spread it out as they lack depth in coverage options. Problem is the Bucs now have no depth at WR. In fact, they are just doing good to field a basic 2-WR offense. Don't expect much from Johnson this week.

The Saints struggle to stop the run and Pittman's value increases even more this week as he will spend a lot of time split out as a receiver. May not see as many carries, but should have a 100 total yard performance this week.

Has had all kinds of opportunities with the injuries to starter Stallworth, but continues to fritter them away each week.

There's talk that Ramsey may get back on the field this week. But a setback in practice Wednesday makes that iffy. If Hasselbeck gets his second start he has a decent matchup against an injury depleted and defeated Giant defense.

The Giants' offensive line continues to be decimated by injury, losing two more members last week. What may save him this week is the fact that the Redskins do not pressure the QB well. Only one team has fewer sacks on the season. Still, it's hard to rely on a QB that looks shell-shocked by a league high 36 sacks. Especially if Shockey misses another week.

Has been a disappointment over the past two weeks but catches a break Sunday against a Redskin defense that struggles to stop the run, allowing over 130 YPG. The continued depletion of the offensive line by injury doesn't strengthen his cause however.

Still dropping way to many passes but managed his third 100-yard/TD game last week. Toomer is typically sure-handed, so he should snap out of this trend soon. His size and strength match up well against the physical play of the Washington corners, Bailey and Smoot. Collins should be able to stay upright enough to help Toomer put up some decent numbers.

Just seems unable to get it done against tough, physical man coverage. He'll get another dose of just that this week matched up against Bailey and Smoot.

Didn't stand a chance last week against the Ravens, but gets a chance to redeem himself against the terrible Cardinal secondary Sunday. Don't get too excited though. Garcia was very inconsistent before the injury and there's no reason to think that will change now.

Lelie hasn't scored or caught more than three passes since week four. Lately it's been its worse, only a single catch for two yards in the last two weeks.

Has had a hot five quarters, but can he keep it up against the troublesome Patriots? He won't see the man coverage this week and will have to prove his effectiveness against New England's aggressive zone schemes.

Since the return of nose tackle Ted Washington the Pats have been stingy against the run. But overall they are undersized and remain vulnerable if pounded for long periods. There's no better pounder than Williams.

The short drops, quick throws, draws and screens that the Pats utilize will not only help protect Brady against a very good Dolphin pass rush, but that type of attack usually results in solid numbers.

Still struggling through the leg injury and the ball is being spread around too much for him to warrant any fantasy attention.

Has been the most consistent WR since Brown went down with the leg injury. But there isn't much upside with Branch this week. His strength is against zone coverages, not the press man-to-man the Dolphins play, and with the arrival of Dedric Ward and J.J. Stokes there are now four other WRs to spread the ball around to.

Will be pressed at the line often by CB Winfield in order to take away the quick-hitting passes the Jets like to run for Moss. Against the last three tough opponents the Jets have turned to the controlled, short passing game they prefer. That hasn't provided Moss with many opportunities for big plays. That trend is likely to continue this week in Buffalo.

The Jets have the depth at CB to matchup well against Shaw in the 3-WR sets Buffalo is running.

The Vickster is back. What that means against a very tough and athletic Carolina defense is anyone's guess. There's obviously potential here as Vick can buy time with the scramble to allow his receivers to get open down field against a very suspect secondary. But if you made it into your playoffs without him, or are on the border, do you really want to rely on him now? You probably have a safer option at QB this week.

A tackle-to-tackle runner with little horizontal speed or cut-back ability. Well guess what? The Panthers' strength in run defense is right up the middle. Being able to spread the offense with Vick may help, but you shouldn't expect much yardage from Duckett. However, he has scored six TDs in the past five games and his nose for the end-zone can help make up for his limited yardage numbers.

Vick may struggle in his first start of the season, but one thing we know for sure is that he can get the ball deep and accurately to Price. The Panther corners can not hold up in coverage and if Vick works himself enough time we could get a glimpse of what Vick-to-Price could have been this season.

Has had only one good fantasy game since returning from injury nearly two months ago, and that was against Arizona. It takes a bad pass defense to make Holcomb a viable fantasy starter. The Rams are not one.

Jackson has been about the fantasy equal of Williams since replacing him five weeks ago. But the battered OL and ineffective passing attack is taking it's toll on the Browns' ability to run the ball with any consistency. They are near the bottom of the league in most rushing categories. Those struggles will likely continue this week against the quick and athletic Rams' defense.

The passing game is struggling and continuing to spread the ball amongst all the WRs. Against a Rams' secondary that will use it's well developed and executed cover-2 schemes to limit the vertical attack, there just won't be enough production to spread around and give either Davis, ...

... Northcutt or ...
