Byes are past, crunch time now!

You know what we do, here are a few guys that you may normally have on your bench that you have to think about getting into your lineup this week.

QB

Kurt Warner, Arizona- Coming off a solid outing last week, and gets the Bengals this week.

Drew Brees, New Orleans- Although last week had to be a let down, leave him in there or get him in there against the shorthanded Texans secondary.

RB

Ryan Grant, Green Bay- Ride the hot hand, plus Warrick Dunn faired well against the Panthers last week.

Chester Taylor, Minnesota- The Raiders come to town in what could be one of the more boring games this NFL Sunday, but the best chance for the home team to win is to run, with or without AD.

Laurence Maroney, New England- An incredible disappointment this year, but look for him to punch it in once or twice this weekend.

WR

Drew Bennett, St. Louis- With Ike hurting, he’ll see more balls come his way as Nate Clements locks onto Tory Holt.

Mark Clayton, Baltimore- FINALLY, huh? I think you’ll see a strong finish to his season as it was apparent watching the Ravens last week they were determined a. to get Clayton more involved, and b. to go down the field more. Both are good signs.

Kevin Curtis, Philadelphia- Look for a long ball against the Fish who have been prone to give up a few, or 20 this year.

Chris Henry, Cincinnati- Jumped right into the fold last week, and will be a threat this weekend against the Cardinals nickel backs.

And of course, some guys who you might want to look at benching this week because of bad matchups.

QB

Derek Anderson, Cleveland- Don’t get me wrong, I had him on this last week and he pulled out 3 TD’s, but not much other-wise. But I’ll throw him on here again for the same reasons.

Vince Young, Tennessee- His record is still 13-4 as a starter despite a setback last week, but that doesn’t equal fantasy points.

RB

Shaun Alexander, Seattle- Don’t know if he is coming back this week, and don’t care because the Bears would eat him alive.

Rudi Johnson, Cincinnati- Believe it or not, the Cards are one of the top rush defenses in football, and last week should convince you holding the Lions to -17 as a team!

Thomas Jones, NY Jets- Against the Steelers, I would look for a lot more of Leon Washington making Jones a strong benching candidate.

WR

Steve Smith, Carolina- I hate benching stars because they can go off anytime, but Smith has done nothing in weeks. Almost had a TD on Sunday, but fumbled into the endzone. I don’t think the Packers will let him get that close.

Joey Galloway, Tampa Bay- Got a feeling DeAngelo Hall could make Jeff Garcia look elsewhere on Sunday.
