Last week’s picks:

START

Carson Palmer – 337 yards passing, 3 TDs, 1 INT
Ahman Green – 99 total yards
Eddie Kennison – 4 rec., 52 yards

BENCH

Chad Pennington – 190 yards passing, 2 TDs
Carnell Williams – 128 yards, 1 TD
Eric Moulds – 1 catch, 8 yards
Lee Evans – 2 catches, 12 yards

Palmer and Williams are looking like every week starters, unless you have tremendous QB or RB depth. Kennison seems like a questionable start (in a 2 WR lineup) until the KC passing game gets back on track. Moulds and Evans should be benched when they face a strong defense.

On to this week’s picks:

START

QB – Brian Griese
Unless you have a stud at this position, Griese should be a nice play this week. He faces a weak Green Bay pass defense that yielded 336 yards and 3 TDs to the Browns.

RB – Willis McGahee
Owners may be shying away from starting McGahee, who had awful numbers against a stout Tampa Bay defense last week. This week, he faces a looser Atlanta defense that gave up 144 yards rushing to Shaun Alexander last week.

WR – Donte Stallworth
Stallworth had an excellent game against the Giants on Monday night and this week he faces a porous Vikings defense. The questionable Saints defense is just what the doctor ordered for Culpepper, so this one should be a high scoring affair, leading to more opportunities for Stallworth.

BENCH

QB – Michael Vick
He’s already listed as questionable, but Vick should be benched this week if you have any other decent options at QB. Atlanta plays Buffalo, so it should be a tough game for the Atlanta offense.

RB – Ahman Green
The Packer offense looks bad and Green, while running pretty well, hasn’t been a huge part of the team’s game plan. This week, the Packers face the Buccaneers, who are playing some of the best defense in the league.

WR – Robert Ferguson
Over the course of a season, Ferguson should step into the #2 WR role in GB and put up solid fantasy numbers, but it would be a good idea to bench him this week against Tampa Bay.
