    Start:

    -Palmer is usually good against Pittsburgh and Cincinnati's offense has been clicking since Chris Henry came back.

    -Kitna because Minnesotas secondary is not very good. Last week was a fluke.

    -Parker- Pittsburgh will try to work the clock and Cincinnati's run D is horrible

    -James against a terrible Cleveland defense

    -Gore ran well last week and will get it going again this week

    -Ward will play well against Cincinnatis D. They will score a lot and Holmes is a little banged up

    -Evans has been held down a little the past couple weeks and Washington's secondary is not very good lately.

    -Driver will be good against Dallas. They have no coverage safeties so he will get open deep.

    Sit:

    -Schaub against a great Tennessee Defense

    -Barber against a great Green Bay run Defense

    -Portis is too banged up to be sure

    -Marshall because they will be running all day and throwing to Scheffler

    -Johnson because Pittsburgh won't give them enough to be sure who Palmer will throw too.

    -Branch-Philly showed how good their secondary was last week shutting down Moss

    QB:

    Palmer is a must start every week. You don't draft this guy to bench him and with CJ and Housh, not to mention Henry, all healthy and at the top of their game I think they will throw throw and throw some more. Plus the running game has been nothing special for them.

    Schaub cause I believe he and Andre Johnson will reconnect for big yards against a TEN D that stops the run well. Kitna has been throwing less and less and the lions spread the ball alot more so I'd stay away from him.

    RB:

    Parker is one of the best in the league. He waits for holes to develope and his name isn't Fast Willy for nothing. Another 100yard game for him here against a bad CIN D.

    Alot of good matchups but I'd go with Portis vs BUF. He is the best fantasy option week in and week out on your team. Jones gets carries in DAL which hurts Barbers totals. Gore had 1 good game and I'm not buying it and Edge has no more juice.

    WR:

    Marshall - they are going to run alot here and any play action for big yardage will go to Marshall. Got to like DENs play action. Also Walker is far from 100% so he will be used more as a decoy here, which leaves Marshall with more catches.

    Johnson and Ward - Pitt stops the run very well which will create an even more pass heavy O for CIN, while CIN D can't stop the pass to save their lives. Holmes might still not be 100% so Ward will pick up the slack. Both played awesome last week.

    Don't like Branch after Philly D shut down Moss. Evans just plain stinks to have on your team at this point and Driver has passed the torch for big plays down the field to Jennings.

    QB - Palmer (obv choice, although he's on CIN, not playing against them, and I'm too lazy to look up the real opp.)

    Kitna/Schaub is a toss up - slight advantage kitna, since Min's pass defense is pretty bad

    RB - Gore seems to be picking it up, so I'd start him (I'm doing so on both my teams)

    Portis - He'll be playing with passion for Sean Taylor, not to mention with limited practice time this week, the skins will probably go to a simpler game plan, which means heavy run.

    Parker - had his best game of the year against Cin already

    WR - Branch - undisputed #1 WR in a pass-first offense, Hackett is out for at least 2 weeks, which means more looks his way.

    Driver - Dallass has a crappy secondary, GB is a pass-first offense, especially against Dal, which hasnt allowed a 100yrd rusher all season

    CJohnson - Despite a 10 week drought of no TDs (def. killed me in many games), he seems to be back - although Pit's pass D is #1

    Palmer is versus Pittsburgh, but without Troy Polamalu, so start him. Kitna at Minnesota-the Vikings defense against the pass is nowhere near as good as Eli made them look last week.

    Gore looked great last week (finally), and the Panthers run D is nothing to be too scred of. For the other 2 RB's, I would play Parker and Edge, just based on defensive matchups.

    Hines Ward, Chad Johnson and Donald Driver. I know Marshall looked good, but Oaklands' pass defense is actually pretty good, so I'd sit him for this week.
