Santonio Holmes was deactivated for this weekends game due to drug possession. Duece McAllister tested positive for a banned substance, his status as of this point has not changed for this weekend. Duece owners must pay close attention to this story before Sunday kickoff. More to folllow….

Not Bowe, no QB
Not Boldin, might only see 10 to 20 snaps this week
I like the gamble of Roy Williams and Muhammad has the best stats out of this group. The Cowboys offense is like the Colts, you know an explosion is coming, when is the question.

Heres my opinion on the following;

Joe Flacco- Is facing an average D, and a lousy offense, which the Ravens D will give him plenty of opportunity to have the ball. I do think that their offense will be run, run, run, run, pass to keep the D honest, run, run and run some more. The Ravens are asking Flacco to not lose games for them, they are not asking him to win games himself.

Brad Johnson- I expect a much better performance out of him than last week, which is not saying much based on his performance. How much is the question.

Matt Ryan- Against average D’s, he has looked fantastic, against great D’s he has looked not so great. Philly will apply pressure all day long, and to this point, Ryan has not adjusted to constant pressure, yet.

Dan Orlovsky- My only thought is “NO”

Seneca Wallace- In the past, Seneca has been a great backup in terms of fantasy numbers. I do not think he is 100%, and his group of recievers are all banged up or not playing at all. Until he shows he is back, I would avoid him.

Kerry Collins- See Joe Flacco

Ryan Fitzpatrick- This matchup this week is very interesting. Fitzpatrick played well against the Texans in St. Louis, and has alot of talent on offense. The question is, can he perform in the Bengals system.

JaMarcus Russell- He is almost worthy of starting, just not against the Ravens D. Talented, yes, Peyton Manning he is not.

Marc Bulger- Since Jim Haslet has taken over, the Rams look like the Rams of old. It appears that the team threw it in the tank to get their old coach ousted. Bulger has not however set the world on fire yet. I think it will come, just not this week.

This is like picking a needle out of a haystack, but I think that Brad Johson has the most upside with his offense. He may be outscored by others in this group, I do think that he has the best shot of a big game though. Keep in mind, I thought he would be a good start last week too.

Thanks for your supporing my articles.

It appears that your question is about your PPR league. Holmes and Cotchery’s stats are similar in yardage and receptions, Jerrico has 3 touchdowns to Holmes’ 1. Just because of the amount of times they will get the ball, I would choose Benson or McAllister. Keep in mind, your recievers if given a hot hand, can produce more points than these two, you have to place your odds on who will get the most touches. I do not even factor in Pierre Thomas until you see how he is used with the loss of Reggie Bush. I think both Benson and McAllister will get their carries this week, its a coin flip as to who will perform better. I lean towards Duece though.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I would Steve Smith every week, if that is the Steve Smith from the Panthers.

I also like Roddy White when Atlanta is not facing a top 7 Defense. Philly has a great secondary and this may be another one of those difficult games for Matt Ryan.

I would not start Curtis at all until he has shown he is healthy and can put two consecutive good games together. There is nothing worse as a fantasy owner to watch a player not contribute because of injury.

Wes Welker had a good game last week, hopefully that will continue. In addition, if the Patriots can continue to run the ball like they did last week, it will open the field for Cassell, who looked superb last week.

As far as Holmes is concerned, he has a little over White’s rec. yards on the year, with a third of his touchdowns. Cleveland showed that the Giants can be passed on, but is the banged up Steelers offense capable of doing the same, I do think so. With that said, I would take my chances on White’s big play ability.

As far as defenses are concerned, Atlanta has shown that they will turn the ball over when under pressure, and Joe Johnson is the best in the business at doing that. The Jets are facing a horrible offense missing their key component this week in Larry Johnson. I think they are both good starts, but I favor the Jets with the endless turnover possibilities.

AP is on a bye this week and i have slaton and deangelo williams as my rbs. with the available flex option. im in a ppr league and have pierre thomas, deuce, cedric benson at running back…or santonio holmes or jerricho cotchery at wideout. i need to start one, thanks for any input i appreciate it

And, which defense?
NYJ or PHI?

This group are all pretty much one in the same. Its almost a coin toss on who will score out of this group. Heath Miller had one game this season, otherwise he has a been a huge bust. Lj Smith is it or miss, as he has been his whole career. Alex Smith has been targeted more of late by Garcia, Zach Miller is Russell’s favorite target, and with Russell’s growth as a QB, his value will increase. Last but not least, my super sleeper from two weeks ago, John Carlson. Right now, Carlson is Seattle’s best receiving option. He has scored a TD two weeks in a row. I can’t imagine Seattle will be too sucessful this week on the ground. This is a tough group to pick a front runner out of, hopefully this insight will help in your decision.
