POINT-CLICK-DRAG-DROP Starters of the Week

QUARTERBACKS

Jay Cutler @ CIN- Cutler has earned a nice raise after his first five games in the Windy City, and going against the porous pass defense of the Bengals this week should make that raise look worth every penny. Cincy is 28th vs. the pass, and Cutler has thrown at least 2
TD passes in four straight games.

Eli Manning vs. AZ- QB's are feasting on the weak secondary (30th against the pass) of the Cards nearly every week. Garrard, Schaub and Peyton Manning have all had great days against them. Eli won't have to ask Peyton for advice either, because he threw for 240 and 3 TD's last year in the Cardinals' house.

Matt Ryan @ DAL- Dallas has given up good fantasy numbers to everyone they've faced, and only one, Eli Manning would be considered an elite QB. Still, Byron Leftwich, Kyle Orton and Matt Cassel were all able to produce at relatively high levels. The Cowboys also struggle mightily to pressure the passer, posting only 10 sacks in five games. Matty Ice has only been sacked twice, and both of those were in week 1 against Miami. Dallas is 26th vs. the pass, allowing 8 TD passes and only getting a pair of picks.

RUNNING BACKS

DeAngelo Williams vs. BUF- The Bills are coming off of a game that they won, but one in which they gave up over 200 yds. on the ground to the Jets. Williams should be able to match his performance from a week ago.

Marshawn Lynch @ CAR- The Panthers have struggled against the run all year (25th against the run). Lynch is now the definite feature back for the Bills, and should make some plays.

Joseph Addai @ StL- Addai is the 3rd best receiving RB in the league with 26 catches to date. Oh, and he has Manning throwing to him. Also, the Lambs are 28th in the NFL against the run.

Lawrence Maroney @ TB (in London)- Maroney becomes the starter since Sammy Morris(knee) is injured and Fred Taylor(ankle) is as well. Tampa, in addition to just being an awful team, just allowed over 250 yds. on the ground to Carolina.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Dwayne Bowe vs. SD- Bowe has been pretty dominant in 4 career games vs. the Chargers, he has averaged 6 catches for 84 yds. and has a pair of TD's. He's starting to heat up this season also, coming off of his best start, a 6 catch 109 yd. effort against the 'Skins.

Mario Manningham vs. AZ- This should be a good week to start Manningham, and really any Giants receiver. The Cards secondary gives up tons of yardage every week. Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson and Mike Sims-Walker all put up over 100 and a TD.

Donald Driver @ CLE- Driver had 7 catches for 107 last week against Detroit, and the Browns are 25th vs. the pass. So far Driver has put up 90 or more yds. in three games.

CONTROL-ALT-DELETE Bench Sitters

QUARTERBACKS

Donovan McNabb @ WAS- McNabb will struggle with his left tackle ailing. Also, he has 0 TD passes his last two meetings with the 'Skins, who are 6th against the pass.

Brett Favre @ PIT- Favre has only played one team with a pass D in the top 15, and that was Green Bay. The Steelers are just getting healthy, with Polamalu back at full strength. This is also Favre's first game outdoors since week one.

RUNNING BACKS

Rashard Mendenhall vs. MIN- The Vikes have allowed only 2 rushing TD's all year and Mendenhall's numbers have dwindled since his big game against the Chargers.

Steve Slaton vs. SF- In a pass happy offense, Slaton is averaging only 3 yds. per rush with a single TD.

WIDE RECEIVERS

T.O. @ CAR- He's turned into the invisible man. That's good in some ways, bad in his performance on the field.

Braylon Edwards @ OAK- His QB is suddenly looking a lot like a rookie QB, (one TD eight picks and a lost fumble the last 3 games). Edwards will have Asomugha in his face all day.

SLEEPING BEAUTIES

QB Matt Cassel vs. SD- This game will probably be an old fashioned AFL shootout, because neither team has a good defense. That should benefit Cassel...and our next Sleeper...

RB Larry Johnson vs. SD- Ditto.

WR Steve Breaston @ NYG- There's a good chance Anquan Boldin(ankle) will miss this game, or see limited playing time, which is good for Breaston. Last season, as a fill-in for Boldin, Breaston had 20 catches for 270 and 2 TD's in 3 games.
