Every week, I submit six names our fantasy football owners – three marginal players to start and three to bench. Let’s see how I did last week:
START
David Garrard, JAX – 216 passing yards, 27 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD (HIT)
Ryan Moats, PHI – 78 rushing yards, 1 TD (HIT)
Jimmy Smith, JAX – 6 receptions, 70 yards (PUSH)
BENCH
Mike Vick, ATL – 122 passing yards, 2 INT, 35 rushing yards (HIT)
Willis McGahee, BUF – 50 total yards, 1 TD (MISS)
Mushin Muhammad, CHI– 3 catches, 40 yards (HIT)
On to this week’s picks:
START
QB – Steve McNair, TEN
McNair’s matchup against a suspect MIA secondary is a good one.
RB – Carnell Williams, TB
Cadillac has a pretty good matchup against a Falcons rush defense that is not playing too well.
WR – Samie Parker, KC
Parker may still be available on your waiver wire if you need help. He’s been playing well lately and the KC/SD game should be a high scoring affair.
BENCH
QB – Brett Favre, CHI
Favre faces a very tough Bears defense on the frozen tundra in Green Bay.
RB – Edgerrin James, IND
HC Tony Dungy has said he’ll be treating this game as a preseason affair, so don’t expect to see any major Colts out there for more than a half.
WR – Deion Branch, NE
Beware of Pats this week, as the team has nothing to play for. Plus, Branch faces a good Jets pass defense.
