Who should you play?

Less teams on bye this week, so more players in the pot, but still issues to look at with your lineups this week. If you need help, or just aren’t sure of a match-up, look at using the following guys who could surprise and be productive this week.

QB

Kyle Boller, Baltimore- He’s actually been pretty steady as a starter over the last couple years filling in, so if you have to, against Buffalo isn’t a bad spot to do it.

Chad Pennington, NY Jets- He is still starting, and has a great opportunity for success this week against Cincinnati.

RB

Thomas Jones, NY Jets- Had a nice game last week and the Jets look ready to hand it to him more as the season rolls along. Expect a big game this week.

Maurice Drew, Jacksonville- He has awoken in the last couple games, and the Jaguars are starting to realize they are at their best when he gets touches. The Jags stampeded the Colts last year, MoDrew is definitely a must play this week.

LenDale White, Tennessee- Vince Young may not play so the Titans will look to rely on the running game more. White has scored in three of his last four games.

Jerious Norwood, Atlanta- He’s still only getting about 10 touches a game, but as the season continues that number should rise as his home run ability needs to be more on display.

WR

Lee Evans, Buffalo- You may have him buried on your bench, but coming off a bye, the Bills have discussed throwing it his way more, and with Chris McAllister out for the Ravens, look for a big score this week.

Marty Booker, Miami- He’ll be the early beneficiary of the Chris Chambers trade, and with a blowout on the horizon this Sunday, Miami will be passing often.

Bobby Engram, Seattle- The Rams come to town and the Seahawks are coming off a butt kicking. When you struggle, you lean on those you trust. Matt Hasselbeck’s #1 guy will be Engram on Sunday afternoon.

Amani Toomer, NY Giants- As you saw last week, with a stud corner on one side, he was targeted more. Ditto this week against the Niners.

You might want to avoid the following guys this week, if you can come up with a suitable replacement.

QB

Donavon McNabb, Philadelphia- Struggled last week against a pathetic Jets team, so I am not expecting much against the Bears.

Jay Cutler, Denver- I’d rather not against the Steelers. Pittsburgh saw how the blitz-happy scheme of the Chargers attacked him two weeks ago.

RB

Adrian Peterson, Minnesota- Almost sounds blasphemous after last weeks incredible performance to have him here, but the Dallas run defense is solid and they will focus all their attention on AD. By the way, barring injury this guy is already a top 5 RB talent in the league.

Marshawn Lynch, Buffalo- Not a good week for the rookie runners. I wouldn’t play him if I didn’t have to against the Ravens.

WR

Hines Ward, Pittsburgh- Coming off an injury and going against Champ Bailey.

Marques Colston, New Orleans- Got into the endzone last week, but had only a couple yards. Really unacceptable for a guy with his draft status this season.

And remember not to play Green Bay, San Diego, Cleveland, or Carolina players this week…it’s their bye!

Good luck this week!
