I was aces last week, hope you were reading. Let’s make it happen again!

These are some guys you should look at playing this week with bye weeks still rolling in.

Joey Harrington, Atlanta- Talk about lighting a fire under someone. That’s what the signing of Byron Leftwich did in this case. Two straight solid starts and a chance to make it three against the Titans.

Jason Campbell, Washington- The Lions have been opportunistic if not good defensively which is good for the quarterbacks they face, and good for their defense in fantasy football as well.

Michael Pittman, Tampa Bay- If the Bucs keep it close, they’ll have to grind it out on the ground. The Colts are without Rob Morris, and possibly Bob Sanders.

Ladell Betts, Washington- If you are in a pinch, or have Portis, you have to monitor this situation into the weekend, and Betts may end up a good play despite his slow start.

Keep an eye on Ron Dayne, Kenton Keith, and Selvin Young who may end up as nice plays this week because of injuries to starters.

Antwaan Randle-El, Washington- With Santana Moss banged up with a groin problem; he’ll get a lot more looks this weekend.

Anthony Gonzalez, Indianapolis- If Harrison can’t go, he’ll step into the starting lineup. All he has to do is get open, Manning will find him.

Marty Booker, Miami- The Texans have issues at safety and with Dunta Robinson getting the job on Chris Chambers, Booker could be in for a good week.

Brandon Marshall, Denver- If you haven’t caught on yet, he’s pretty good and gets another favorable matchup this week.

Mark Clayton, Baltimore- He’s been battling an ankle injury all year and is just now getting back healthy and can breakout this week as Nate Clements clings to Derrick Mason.

You might want to look at benching these guys this week if you can find a better matchup on your bench.

Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle- The Steelers have a great pass defense, and have enough team speed to contain Shaun Alexander with their front seven.

Phillip Rivers, San Diego- Just not what most people expected to see out of a guy who was a Pro-Bowler last year, and going against Champ Bailey and company won’t help.
And don’t play Marc Bulger, Alex Smith, or Jake Delhomme (all are hurt) and don’t mess with the either Cardinals QB until they figure out who that is.

Brandon Jacobs, NY Giants- Don’t get all excited just yet that he is back. I wouldn’t expect too much yardage-wise in this one against the Jets.

Clinton Portis, Washington- A sprained knee? Really. They just now figured this out and the Skins were coming off a bye-week. Sounds fishy to me.

Cedric Benson, Chicago- He is actually slowly, but surely phasing himself out in the windy city by his girly running style and the fact he keeps putting the ball on the ground.

Derrick Mason, Baltimore- Off to a good start, but Nate Clements will eat his lunch Sunday.

Vincent Jackson, San Diego- He has dropped a couple of touchdowns this year or his stats wouldn’t look so busted, but he isn’t going to bounce back and the Bronco’s secondary.

Darrell Jackson, San Francisco- The only 49er’s player that you are allowed to play this week is Frank Gore, and even that would cause some pause against Baltimore.

And of course don’t play anyone on Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Oakland, and Minnesota.
Good luck to all this week!
