24. Wes Welker At Indianapolis Colts

Johnson gets top billing this week because his last 4 games he has been on firewith 593 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikes rank 20th against the pass and a healthy Johnson should mean another big game. The Cardinals "posse" of receivers also have a sweet match up against the 26th ranked D vs. the pass in the Rams. The rest of the receivers pretty much are up or down based on their match ups except for TO. Since Romo has been out Owens only has 64 yards and no scores but I do feel is capable of breaking out even if it has to be a short pass where he does the rest with his YAC. Still Johnson has been a disappointment and TO has been one of the main beneficiaries of his play, but if I had him I'd still start him.

* Reggie Wayne is listed as questionable due to his knee injury. My bet is that he'll be a 50/50 game time decision.

The following teams are on bye this week: Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings

1. Steve Smith Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- In his 5 games back after the suspension Smith has averaged just under 100 yards per game and has 2 touchdowns. I expect him to have a big day against the Cards rank 20th against the pass and as Favre showed us a few weeks back are capable of giving up a few touchdowns through the air.

2. Andre Johnson Vs. Cincinnati Bengals --The Bengals rank high against the pass but primarily because they are so bad against the run as they allow an average of 26 points per game. Johnson and Schaub have been on fire lately as he has 450 yards and 2 touchdowns his last 3 games.

3. Santana Moss At Detroit Lions -- The Lions look like a team with no hope and rank 31st against the pass. While the Skins passing game at times has looked pretty bad, Moss has done pretty well (except for the goose egg he laid in Philly) as he has 33 receptions, 518 yards and 4 scores in 7 games played.

4. Larry Fitzgerald At Carolina Panthers -- Fitz will most likely have Boldin back this week to compete with him and the Panthers are tough against the pass (2nd in the NFL) but Fitz should have a decent day as he has been consistent all year (546 yards & 5 TD's in 6 games).

5. Reggie Wayne At Tennessee Titans -- A very tough D but Wayne struggled last week and should bounce back despite the match up. Wayne has had good performances against the Ravens & the Bears (back when their secondary was healthy) and should have a good game.

6. Lee Evans At Miami Dolphins -- The Fins rank 27th vs. the pass & Evans has 521 yards and 3 scores in 6 games.

7. Plaxico Burress At Pittsburgh Steelers -- A tough match up for Eli & Plaxico but since his suspension Plaxico has scored in each game back and I see him continuing that trend.

8. Terrell Owens Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- The Bucs only give up about 15 points per game but I see TO getting some yardage this game as Johnson gets more used to throwing to his great receivers and makes some better throws than last week.

9. Randy Moss Vs. St Louis Rams -- I wtill have some doubts on Cassel but it seems like he is getting better making Moss again a must start as they scored 2 tgouchdowns last week.

10. Calvin Johnson Vs. Washington Redskins -- While I doubt the Skins give up a 96 yards TD I do think the Lions will be throwing the ball a ton to Johnson for the rest of the season.

11. Hines Ward Vs. New York Giants -- Ward has 5 touchdowns and has outshined Holmes so far this year and has been a solid fantasy start all year even against the tougher defenses.

12. Laveranues Coles Vs. Kansas City Chiefs -- The Chiefs give up nearly 28 points a game and 400+ yards per game and favre & Coles while not very consistent have been capable of putting up some great numbers. #4 might have a big day meaning Coles & Cotchery should as well.

13. Anquan Boldin/Steve Breaston At Carolina Panthers -- I expect Boldin to return making Breaston a very risky start. However if Boldin doesn't go Breaston has showed us he can put up some numbers opposite Fitzgerald (301 yards & 1 score in 3 starts). One of them will be a good start this Sunday.

14. Santonio Holmes Vs. New York Giants -- Holmes started out the year slow but has shown some glimpses of the receiver fantasy owners loved last year. I like him as a start again this week as I think he continues to bring his numbers closer to last season's as the season progresses.

15. DeSean "Premature Celebration" Jackson Vs. Atlanta Falcons -- The Eagles get WR Kevin Curtis back but Jackson has been a playmaker and I still think a viable fantasy option despite more of McNabb's receivers getting healthy.

Other WR's Worth A Good Look: TJ Houshmandzedah At Houston Texans, Roddy White At Philadelphia Eagles, Braylon Edwards At Jacksonville Jaguars, Wes Welker Vs. St. Louis Rams, Roy Williams Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Marques Colston Vs. San Diego Chargers, Jerricho Cotchery Vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Dwayne Bowe At New York Jets, Vincent Jackson At New Orleans Saints.

The following teams are on bye this week: Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars, Philadelphia Eagles

1. Steve Smith Vs. New Orleans Saints -- Smith has been one of the best receivers in the league since coming off suspension as he has 374 yards and only 1 score so far in four games he has played. The Saints rank 21st against the pass but even the best defenses have had trouble containing Smith this season as we saw last week as Smith broke the 100 yard mark against the Bucs.

2. Andre Johnson Vs. Detroit Lions -- The Lions allow 250+ pass yards per game (30th in the NFL) and Matt Schaub & Johnson are red hot right now. Johnson has 19 catches, 309 yards and 2 scores the last 2 weeks and should stay hot against the lowly Lions.

3. Reggie Wayne At Green Bay Packers -- Wayne had a nice game last week but has also been pretty consistent ( 33 receptions, 468 yards & 4 scores) despite the Colts early struggles. The Pack is weak against the run and better against the pass but with Addai out I still see the Colts possibly throwing the ball a lot especially if Dominic Rhodes starts out slow.

4. Terrell Owens At St. Louis Rams -- Its hard to predict how TO will fare with Brad Johnson at QB & Roy Williams with him out there on the field however the Rams give up the most points in the league meaning I still have high expectations for TO this game despite these 2 sudden major changes to the offense.

5. Brandon Marshall At New England Patriots -- Marshall has cooled down since his red hot start (after his suspension) but is still thrown to a lot of some injuries are cutting into the playing time of the Broncos 3 best other receivers (Royal, Stokely, & Scheffler). Hard to predict a great game against the Pats who are decent vs. the pass (12th in the NFL) however Marshall's 43 catches, 521 yards & 3 TD's in 5 games makes him a must start.

6. Plaxico Burress Vs. San Francisco 49ers -- The Niners rank 20th against the pass and despite how bad Eli looked and some talk of a nagging innjury I see Plaxico having a nice game and getting a score.

7. Greg Jennings Vs. Indianapolis Colts -- The Colts rank 6th best in the league against the pass but that number really is only that good because they are so bad against the run. While I do expect a big dose of Ryan Grant I also see Jennings who has very quietly been a league leader in receiving yards to perform well especially if the Pack falls behind and is short on time. Jennings has 653 yards and 4 TD's in 6 games and is a must start.

8. Braylon Edwards At Washington Redskins -- I think Edwards is back now as he neared 150 yards last game along with his 2nd touchdown of the year. Its possible he struggles but I really believe the Browns passing attack is back in sync now.

9. Laveranues Coles At Oakland Raiders -- Coles was quiet last week with 8 receptions & 61 yards but no scores as #4 was speading around the wealth last week. Despite that Coles has 241 yards & 4 TD's his last 3 games and the Raiduhs rank 26th against the pass meaning big potential for Coles and his new friend from Green Bay.

10. Randy Moss Vs. Denver Broncos -- With Brady gone Moss's value is definitely lower as he and Cassel have been very hot and cold. In Moss's best 2 games with Cassel he has 227 yards and 2 scores. However his other 3 were pretty lackluster as no scores and only 73 yards total. The good news is that the Broncos currently rank dead last in the NFL against the pass (which surprises me because I always used to love Champ Bailey in the past) so you'd expect Cassel & Moss to have one of their better games.

11. Lee Evans Vs. San Diego Chargers -- Evans has been pretty consistent this season with 423 yards and 2 scores in 5 games and surprisingly the Chargers pass defense ranks second worst in the NFL.. While I don't think that the Chargers are that bad they definitely can be exploited meaning Evans should have another good game and a score if he's lucky.

12. Santana Moss Vs. Cleveland Browns -- With only a measely 22 yards the last 2 weeks its hard to start Moss but going back to his early season success ( 421 yards, 3 TD's his first 4 games) and the Browns poor to mediocre defense I like Moss to bounce back this week and hopefully start showing some consistency for his fantasy owners.

13. Hines Ward At Cincinnati Bengals -- Ward has been solid this year with 316 yards & 4 TD's in 5 games and Willie Parker who was supposed to return this week appears to have had a setback with his knee meaning Big Ben will probably have to win this with his arm.

14. Santonio Holmes At Cincinnati Bengals -- Same as above except different stats of course (271 yards only 1 score)

15. Roy Williams At St. Louis Rams -- A very risky start considering all the other playmakers on the Cowboys around Williams and the fact that Romo is out with injury and 17 year vet Brad Johnson is in and that he won't know the offense very well and the fact that Roy has sucked this year so far (232 yards 1 score), I however would start Roy if I had him as I like the match up and I think this talented receiver turns off the cruise control now that he is out of the NFL purgatory that is the Detroit Lions this year.

16. Jerricho Cotchery At Oakland Raiders -- Jerricho is getting plently of opportunities from Favre being in town, he has 26 receptions, 328 yards & 3 TD's in 5 games and should get more chances against this bad pass defense.

Others Worth A Good Look: Marvin Harrison At Green Bay Packers, Torry Holt Vs. Dallas Cowboys, Bernard Berrian At Chicago Bears, Calvin Johnson At Houston Texans, Chris Chambers At Buffalo Bills, Dwayne Bowe Vs, Tennessee Titans, Devin Hester Vs. Minnesota Vikings, Marques Colston At Carolina Panthers.

The following teams are on bye this week: Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Tennessee Titans.

1. Larry Fitzgerald Vs. Dallas Cowboys -- It looks like Boldin will miss one more week which is great news to fantasy owners of Fritgerald. With Bolding out last week Fitz hooked up with Warner twice in the endzone against a tough defense. I see this game being somewhat of a shoot out and Fitz having a great fantasy day against Dallas who ranks 17th versus the pass.

2. Terrell Owens At Arizona Cardinals -- Despite the so called "drama" TO and Romo seem to be fine and continue to rack up points for the Cowboys as well as our fantasy teams. TO should have another big day against this 14th ranked defense (vs. the pass) and add to his 5 touchdown total.

3. Plaxico Burress Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars -- Eli and crew seemed to be fine without Plaxico but I do think he comes back hungry and has a great game against the Browns who have a pretty porous secondary.

4. Andre Johnson Vs. Miami Dolphins -- Johnson has had 2 very good games (including last week's 130+ yards and a score) and also 2 very quiet games. It looks like QB Schaub will be back and I expect at least one score and 100 yards from Johnson against this defense which is looking better as of late but it still ranked 15th vs. the pass.

5. Reggie Wayne Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- I see the Ravens stuffing the run and making it tough on Manning but I see Wayne getting a lot of receptions and decent yardage. I think he'll have a tougher time getting a score but should see a lot of throws from Manning.

6. Brandon Marshall Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars -- After being unstoppable for a few weeks (weeks 2&3: 24 catches, 321 yards, 2 TD's) Marshall has been pretty quiet especially against the Bucs last week who keyed in on him a little. I see Marshall having another huge game (like Wk 2 or 3) as Scheffler & Royal have some injnuries and Marshall will get a ton of throws from Cutler.

7. Randy Moss At San Diego Chargers -- Cassel and Moss hooked up last week for a deep touchdown and I expect to see more deep throws in the future as Cassel learns all he has to do is throw it up there and Moss will go and get it.

8. Steve Smith At Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Steve Smith has looked great since coming off suspension and the Panthers have been red hot. Unfortunate for them the Bucs defense is pretty stingy (8th in points allowed) but Smith should be able to salvage a good fantasy game as he goes all over the field to get his receptions.

9. Santana Moss Vs. St. Louis Rams -- After starting the season on fire Moss was shutout last week against the Eagles. I doubt that happens again against the Rams who rank near last in the NFL against the pass & points allowed (28th & 31st)

10. Laveranues Coles Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- Coles & Favre finally seem to be getting along as they hooked up for 3 TD's before their bye week. While I doubt Favre throws for another 6 TD's, the Bengals defense is not very good and there's no reason Coles can't have another good to great game.

11. Greg Jennings At Seattle Seahawks -- Jennings has been very constant this year despite having a new QB. He has over 110+ yards per game on average and has 3 scores in 5 games.

12. TJ houshmanzedah At New York Jets -- TJH caught 2 touchdown passes as the Bengals offense has rumbled to a very slow start but now look capable of putting some decent yards and points up on the board.

13. Calvin Johnson at Minnesota Vikings -- Johnson started the year out well but only has 56 yards his last two games. I actually expect the Lions passing game to greatly improve this week against ther Vikes who rank 20th against the pass. I still see the Lions struggling but even if Kitna is playing hurt I see him and Johnson and Williams having good fantasy days (ok maybe not Kitna so much).

14. Jerricho Cotchery Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- Cotchery has 3 scores this year with #4 at the helm but he hasn't had any huge games. The Bengals D should give him an opportunity to have a more well rounded fantasy day.

15. DeSean "Premature Celebration" Jackson At San Francisco 49ers -- After having 2 great games to start the year and then 2 mediocre outings, PC Jackson only had one catch for 8 yards last week as Reggie Brown is back and looks to be a preferred target for McNabb. While I see Brown continuing to get a lot of throws I expect Jackson to get at least 50 yards and maybe a score against the Niners if he can help not dropping the ball.

16. Steve Breaston Vs. Dallas Cowboys -- If Boldin sits out one more week (which I think he does since they have a bye next week so he can heal to 100% the Breaston is a good start as he challenges Fitz every week for the most receiving yards for the game.

Others Worth A Good Look: Isaac Bruce Vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Bernard Berrian Vs. Detroit Lions, Roddy White Vs. Chicago Bears, Wes Welker At San Diego Chargers. Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson At New York Jets, Roy Williams At Minnesota Vikings, Braylon Edwards Vs. New York Giants, Donald Driver At Seattle Seahawks, Torry Holt At Washginton Redskins.

The following teams are on bye this week: New York Jets, Oakland Raiders, St Louis Rams, & Cleveland Browns

1. Terrell Owens Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- Minus TO's week 3 he has been a solid fantasy start as he has 4 touchdowns and 264 yards already this season and has the capability for a huge game vs. the Bengals D.

2. Steve Smith Vs. Kansas City Chiefs -- Smith's week 3 debut of 6 catches, 96 yards and a score (after his suspension) show us he has not missed a step and the Chiefs give up nearly 400 yards per game so there is a big opportunity for Smith to make up for lost time here.

3. Reggie Wayne At Houston Texans -- I predict a break out game for Wayne who only has 253 yards (2 TD's) so far this season against this Texans D which is ranked 30th in points allowed. Manning who did not play all preseason should be 100% ready to go after thei bye week.

4. Larry Fitzgerald Vs. Buffalo Bills -- Fitz has a touch match up but he might have a better week his norm this year as Anquan Boldin took a shot last week and I'd be shocked if he is on the field this Sunday. Definitely keep an eye on the injury report as for some reason Warner & Boldin have been hooking up much more frequently than Fitz & Warner. The downside is the match up as the Bills are stingy vs. the pass (ranked 6th) but Fitz is a solid start here despite the risk.

5. Randy Moss At San Francisco 49ers -- Moss owners should give him one last chance as Belichick's amazing record of 10 straight victories after a bye (by an average of 13.6 points as well) should bode well for Moss despite being without Brady. I'm hoping they open up the offense a little more as it seemed to me that they were playing too conservative before with Cassel at QB.

6. Brandon Marshall Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Marshall had a bad game last week (by his standards) with only a mere 77 yards and a score. Despite a tougher match up its impossible to bench Marshall who is averaging 132 yards and a TD per game he plays in.

7. Andre Johnson Vs. Indianapolis Colts -- Besides the Colts run D being their weakness I am expecting Peyton Manning to put some points up early forcing Schaub & company to throw the ball alot meaning a possible big day for Andre.

8. Santana Moss At Philadelphia Eagles -- It seems like Jason Campbell and Moss have a good connection as Moss has looked better in 4 games than he has looked in the last 3 years. Moss is averaging 105 yards a game and already has 3 scores and should be a good start in Philly.

9. Greg Jennings Vs. Atlanta Falcons -- IF Rodgers is healthy this is a great match up as the Falcons give up 330+ yards per game and Jennings has been Rodger's #1 target with 482 yards and 2 scores this year.

10. Lee Evans At Arizona Cardinals -- Trent Edwards and Evans seem to building some pretty good good cohesion and this is a great match up for the long pass (Cards rank 25th in points against) so Evans shuld have another good game and hopefully another TD.

11. DeSean "Premature Celebration" Jackson Vs. Washington Redskins -- Despite usually one boneheaded mistake per game, Jackson has been a prime target for McNabb as he averages 80+ yards per game and SHOULD have 2 TD's (he only has one) on the year. The Skins D is without pass rusher Jason Taylor and their corners have been battling injury all year (23rd vs. the pass).

12. Marvin Harrison At Houston Texans -- Despite not convincing me he's truly back until Week 3's touchdown he's still goig to trail behind Wayne as he has lost a step. I expect a good game with this match up but don't expect the old Harrison this year. Expect this new Harrison who is averaging a meager 44 yards per game but again will do much better than that with this week's match up.

13. Amani Toomer Vs. Seattle Seahawks -- No Plaxico & the Seahawks rank 9th vs. the run should equal Toomer's best fantasy day of this year provided Plaxico doesn't fall into any more trouble this year.

14. T.J. Houshmandzadeh At Dallas Cowboys -- Definitely a better start with Carson Palmer in there (hard to tell how bad that elbow is right now), without Palmer I might bench him as he had only 50 yards with Fitzpatrick and 146 yards and a score with Palmer against a much better D.

15. Calvin Johnson Vs. Chicago Bears -- Johnson seems to have displaced Roy as he has 276 yards compared to Roy's 50 so far this season. Neither receiver really lit it up against the Bears last year but Johnson should be capable of having a decent fantasy day. Watch the injury report as the Bears corners were getting a little banged up and that would be a big plus for Johnson if they carry some nagging injuries into this game.

16. Chris Chambers At Miami Dolphins -- Chambers has 4 touchdowns this year already despite not even averaging 50 yards a game but he should be up against his old team and has potential for a big game.

17. Santonio Holmes At Jacksonville Jaguars -- Only 206 yards and 1 score this year but the Jags haven't been that impressive either. Big Ben's hand looked good enough for me to think Holmes is due for a bigger game Sunday night.

18. Wes Welker At San Francisco 49ers -- Again I see Welker benefitting from the bye week history of Bill Belichick as I see the Pats passing game looking very healthy this Sunday.

19. Anquan Bolding/Steve Breaston Vs. Buffalo Bills -- If Boldin plays its tough to bench him as he has averaged 90+ yards and a touchdown per, but if he can't go I like Breaston who has some impressive stats for a 3rd receiver: 13 catches for 194 yards in 4 games.

20. Eddie Royal Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- A tougher match up but Royal has cemented his role as the #2 receiver on the Broncos as he has 298 yards and 2 touchdowns on the year. He's too good a paymaker to risk leaving on the bench.

Others Worth A Good Look: Dwayne Bowe At Carolina Panthers, Roy Williams Vs. Chicago Bears, Hines Ward At Jacksonville Jaguars, Robert Meachem Vs. Minnesota Vikings, Lance Moore Vs. Minnesota Vikings, Muhsin Muhammad Vs. Kansas City Chiefs, Chad Johnson At Dallas Cowboys.

The following teams have a bye week 4: Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, Miami Dolphins, N.Y. Giants, Seattle Seahawks, New England Patriots

1. Brandon Marshall At Kansas City Chiefs -- Marshall has the 2nd most receiving yards in the NFL despite his 1 game suspension to start the season. Marshall and Cutler are still red hot and Marshall is a must start.

2. Terrell Owens Vs. Washington Redskins -- TO was quiet last week on the fantasy scoreboard but was very active during the game getting some nice blocks and even a very impressive chase down and tackle on a pick. The Skins are minus Jason Taylor so Romo should have even more time than normal to find TO.

3. Steve Smith Vs. Atlanta Falcons -- Smith had a decent game in his return from suspension last week, I do however expect a very big game from him this week against a questionable Falcons defense.

4. Larry Fitzgerald At New York Jets -- Warner/Fitz/Bolding are on fire right now and I expect Fitz (2 TD's) to catch up to Boldin's 4 TD's this game and continue to put up 100+ yards as he has done 2 games in a row now.

5. Greg Jennings At Tampa Bay -- Without finding the end zone Jennings has very quietly become the league leading NFL receiver right now. The Bucs famous Tampa Two defense might slow Jenning but he should continue to be a solid producer and maybe score this week.

6. Anquan Boldin At New York Jets -- Despite less yardage Boldin is red hot in the end zone so fat this year. I expect Warner to spread the wealth a little more this game but Boldin should have a good to great game against a mediocre defense.

7. TJ Houshmanzadeh Vs. Cleveland Browns -- TJH and his 'amigos' looked much, much better last week against the Giants and they torched the Browns secondary last year. TJH alone had 3 touchdowns in 2 games and the Browns no longer have their former best cover corner Leigh Bodden so its now or never for Palmer,TJH, & Ocho Cinco.

8. Santana Moss At Dallas Cowboys -- Moss has been on fire as he nearly has 300+ yards and already 3 scores and I expect the Cowboys to force the Skins to throw more as they fall behind on the scoreboard relatively early.

9. Lee Evans At St. Louis Rams -- The Rams secondary is ranked 30th in the league as they almost average giving up 300 passing yards per game which sets up well for Evans for has been a consistant producer thus far but has been unable to find the end zone.

10. Chris Chambers At Oakland Raiders -- Chambers has really taken advantage of a hobbled Gates and a hobbled LT and Rivers has been unstoppable. Like the Broncos the Chargers should beat up on the hapless Raiders.

11. Santonio Holmes Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Provided Big Ben's injured hand is not affecting his play as the Steelers are acting like it won't, I expect a big game from Holmes as the Steelers have a ton of trouble trying to run the ball without Parker. Last season Holmes had 200+ yards and 3 touchdowns versus the Ravens in 2 games.

12. Andre Johnson At Jacksonville Jaguars -- The Jags secondary is better than their stats (as the Colts know) however I think Johnson and Schaub hook up for at least one deep touchdown throw as both of them had some chances last week and Slaton gives them a viable run attack.

13. Dwayne Bowe Vs. Denver Broncos -- Despite QB troubles in KC Bowe has performed pretty well and the Chiefs will be forced to throw the ball as no one has been able to slow down the Broncos offense yet.

14. Jerricho Cotchery Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- Favre seems to be liking Cotchery the most of his new receivers as every week he gets more and more chances (10 receptions last week).

15. Hines Ward Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Ward has 3 touchdowns so far this season & should see a lot of action as the Ravens will force Ben to throw. Like Holmes above as long as Ben's hand it okay both Steeler receivers should have good games.

16. Torry Holt Vs. Buffalo Bills -- Trent Green relieves Bulger at QB and I see the Vet getting rid of the ball quickly and more often to Holt than Bulger was able to. Still a risky start as the Bills D is tough but I like the change and think Green gives Holt a chance to make some plays.

17. Laveranues Coles Vs. Arizona Cardinals -- Coles and Favre seem to be getting along better as he got his first touchdown last week after a very slow start.

18. Donald Driver At Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- Driver is a good start thisfirst bye week as he has been a consistent producer and the running game has been slow to get off the ground. To beat the Bucs Rodgers will have to throw a lot.

19. Braylon Edwards At Cincinnati Bengals -- Edwards has looked terrible these first 3 weeks droppingmany huge passes, very similar to Johnson below (Edwards scored 4 touchdowns last year in their 2 meetings) I see this game as Edwards last chance to get on track before deserving to be benched in all fantasy leagues.

20. Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson Vs. Cleveland Browns -- 3 pretty weak stat lines as Ocho is playing with his injured shoulder and it seems to affect him on the field. After benching Johnson last week I am giving him one more chance as he owned the Browns last year: 253 yards & 2 touchdowns.

Others Worth A Good Look: DeSean "Premature Celebration" Jackson At Chicago Bears, Bryant Johnson At New Orleans, Eddie Royal At Kansas City Chiefs, Chansi Stuckey Vs. Arizona Cardinals, Brandon Lloyd Vs. Philadelphia Eagles, Bernard Berrian At Tennessee Titans.

1. Terrell Owens At Green Bay Packers -- The Pack corners will get physical with TO but he should still have a good to great fantasy day.

2. Reggie Wayne Vs. Jacksonville Jaguars -- The second half against the Vikes was where it looked like Manning and company shook oof their rust and got the offense back into sync. Add in the fact that Harrison, even though 100% healthy, does not look as good as he was a few years ago leaving Wayne in position for a big game.

3. Brandon Marshall Vs. New Orleans Saints -- Its hard to think Cutler and Marshall will keep up at this crazy pace but the Saints don't have very strong secondary so its hard not to think he'll have another great game.

4. Plaxico Burress Vs. Cincinnati Bengals -- Eli and Plaxico shredded the weak Rams D and will do the same to the struggling Bengals

5. Steve Smith At Minnesota Vikings -- Smith is back from his suspension and will very likely take out his frustrations on the Vikings secondary. I expect a big game with possible multiple TD catches.

6. Randy Moss Vs. Miami Dolphins -- It was hard to tell if Cassel was just being conservative, wanted to spread the ball around to everyone, or if Moss wasn't very open most of the game. I'd surprised if we don't see a lot more of Cassel to Moss against Miami

7. Calvin Johnson At San Francisco 49ers -- Megatron (Johnson's team nickname) continues to look great this year and the Lions D keeps him very busy trying to catch up to the opposing team's scores.

8. Larry Fitzgerald At Washington Redskins -- Boldin stole the stat lines last week, I see that trend changing as Fitz gets in the end zone this week.

9. Wes Welker Vs. Miami Dolphins -- If Moss continues to struggle it is very good news for Wes Welker owners.

10. Ande Johnson At Tennessee Titans -- Johnson quietly had a nice game week 1 and will continue to be Schaub's #1 target

11. Anquan Boldin At Washington Redskins -- Boldin will have trouble duplicating last week but Warner is a stud fantasy QB making both his receivers very productive.

12. Santonio Holmes At Philadelphia Eagles -- Despite crazy winds and Big Ben's injured shoulder Holmes got back on track week 2 and should continue this trend.

13. Braylon Edwards At Baltimore Ravens -- I don't watch many Browns games but it seem like every time I surf over to their channel I see Edwards dropping another deep pass potentially for a touchdown. Its hard to bench someone with such potential but he has not looked good at all this year.

14. Roy Williams At San Franciso 49ers --Roy has been overshadowed by the excellent pay of Johnson but he is due for a breakout game and he might do it against Martz's new team.

15. Hines Ward At Philadelphia Eagles -- 3 touchdowns in 2 weeks and Big Ben is saying his shoulder is fine so Ward should continue this trend.

1. Terrell Owens Vs. Philadelphia Eagles -- TO definitely loves playing against his former teamate and former friend McNabb and former coach Reid. While he doesn't always play lights out against them his Week 8 performance of 10 catches, 174 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles last year is a good example of what he can do when motivated.

2. Reggie Wayne At Minnesota Vikings -- The Vikings have a great run defense however their pass defense is very susceptible and the Colts should have their preseason rust about worn off by now.

3. Larry Fitzgerald Vs. Miami Dolphins -- The Dolphins D still needs some work and Warner and Fitz should have a nice game.

4. Randy Moss At New York Jets -- Many analysts are downgrading Moss's value however Moss and Cassel seemed to do pretty well in Brady's absense. Yes he won't be as dangerous but Moss is still a top 5 fantasy receiver until Cassel shows us he can't get Randy the ball.

5. Plaxico Burress At St. Louis Rams -- Eli's play still frustrates me but Plaxico is easily his best and go to target and defnitely going to score.

6. Calvin Johnson Vs. Green Bay Packers --Johnson is showing that when healthy he is a great fantasy start, he is also helped by all the attention Roy Williams (still the better receiver) attracts from the coverage.

7. Braylon Edwards Vs. Pittsburgh Steelers -- Edwards dropped a few passes he should have had against the Cowboys perhaps affected by Anderson missing most of the preseason. Edwards should get back on track this week.

8. Torry Holt Vs. New York Giants -- The Rams offense looked terrible however they are returning home to their dome where they always play better. Holt also should see even more throws as Drew Bennett is now out with a broken foot.

9. Dwayne Bowe Vs. Oakland Raiders -- Did you stay up and watch the Raiders "defense" Monday night?

10. Brandon Marshall Vs. San Diego Chargers -- The Chargers D looked a little susceptible to a Steve Smith-less Panthers. Cutler and Marshall should be able to score some points.

11. Andre Johnson Vs. Baltimore Ravens -- Despite the tough D Johnson is a must start when he and Schaub are healthy.

12. Greg Jennings At Detroit Lions -- His value is lower with Favre gone but Rodgers showed he's the real deal last week and The Lions are still the Lions.

13. Marvin Harrison At Minnesota Vikings -- Not much from him Sunday night however just seeing him playing at a 100% was a very good sign. I expect Manning/Wayne/Harrison all to get back on track against the Vikes.

14. TJ Houshmandzadeh Vs. Tennessee Titans -- I blame the Ravens D for some of the Bengals lack of success on offense however that team has too many issues off the field and is hurting their production.

15. Santonio Holmes At Cleveland Browns -- Holmes was very quiet last week but should break out against this secondary.

16. Anquan Boldin Vs. Miami Dolphins -- If Boldin continues what he started in the 2nd half against the Niners he should do well. Warner is also due for a big fantasy game.

17. Roy Williams Vs. Green Bay Packers -- Roy is capable of some great games but not very consistent as of late.

18. Chad Ocho Cinco Johnson Vs. Tennessee Titans -- The Bengals seem like a mess but Johnson and the rest of the offense could get it together pretty fast. Last season after an 8 game TD drought Ocho Cinco exploded for three scores against the Titans.

19. Desean Jackson At Dallas Cowboys -- Jackson looks like McNabb's #1 target now with his great debut and so many injuries at wide out for the Eagles

20.Chris Chambers At Denver Broncos -- Gates will play but has an ailing toe so the Rivers will again give the receivers more attention than they are used to.

Others to take a good look at: Jericho Cotchery Vs. New England Patriots, Donald Driver At Detroit Lions, Lee Evans At Jacksonville Jaguars, Joey Galloway At Atlanta Falcons, Santana Moss Vs. New Orleans Saints, Eddie Royal Vs. San Diego Chargers, Wes Welker At New York Jets.

Special Note: Marques Colston is now out for 4-6 weeks due to a thumb injury so he has been removed from the rankings.

1. Terrell Owens At Cleveland Browns -- A porous defense and an offensive unit with no excuses (except maybe Jessica) to not score a ton of points this year.

2. Randy Moss Vs Kansas City Chiefs -- Week one last season Moss shocked the world with 9 receptions, 183 yards and one touchdown. I expect he'll come out hot again this year after fizzling the latter part of the season and in the playoffs.

3. Reggie Wayne Vs. Chicago Bears -- A tough secondary but Peyton's #1 target now.

4. Larry Fitzgerald At San Francisco 49ers -- Kurt Warner and Fitzgerald had some nice games last season and the Niners D should make it easy to come out of the gates hot.

5. TJ Houshmanzedah At Baltimore Ravens -- Questionable running attack and an injured but playing Ocho Cinco might equal a great night for TJ. (Probable to play)

6. Braylon Edwards Vs. Dallas Cowboys -- Should pick up where he left off last season with Derek Anderson looking like he's 100% (concussion this preseason) (probable to play)

7. Marques Colston Vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers -- 3rd year in the NFL (when most receivers agree they are finally fully up to the raw speed of the NFL) and a contract year. Colston should be ready to play. (Probable to play)

8. Santonio Holmes Vs. Houston Texans -- Holmes has quickly and surprisingly passed Ward to become Big Ben's #1 target.

9. Plaxico Burress Vs. Washington Redskins -- He and Eli should continue to build on their chemistry from last year. Plaxico also seems to play better when the spotlight is on him as it will be on Thursday Night Football to open the NFL season. (Probable to play)

10. Jerricho Cotchery At Miami Dolphins -- Great potential for a big game when you have #4 throwing the ball to you.

11. Roy Williams At Atlanta Falcons -- With Dante Hall gone the Falcons secondary looks pretty weak.

12. Calvin Johnson At Atlanta Falcons -- Same as above

13. Chad Ocho Cinco At Baltimore Ravens -- Yes the name change is official but so is the torn labrum and many bruised feelings in Cinci. Potential for the big game but tough to rank high with all these factors out there.

14. Andre Johnson At Pittsburgh Steelers -- A challening secondary but a healthy Schaub can mean some big plays like last season when both were healthy.

15. Anquan Boldin At San Francisco 49ers -- I hate Boldin's attitude but I love the match up and Kurt Warner throwing him the ball.

16. Wes Welker Vs. Kansas City Chiefs -- I almost feel bad for the Chiefs as I think the Pats take out the Super Bowl loss frustrations on them and run up the score.

17. Torry Holt At Philadelphia Eagles -- He's a year older but he's always been very consistent. Bulger is healthy so he should have some good opportunities.

18. Hines Ward Vs. Houston Texans -- I expect Ward to improve upon last yearnow that Holmes will attract some more attention in coverage.

19. Dwayne Bowe At New England Patriots -- If only he had a quarterback to throw to him.

20. Marvin Harrison Vs. Chicago Bears -- If his knee is healthy Harrison could be a nice surprise this year. I'm eager to see him play Sunday night.

21. Greg Jennings Vs. Minnesota Vikings --Tough to start him without seeing more from Aaron Rodgers.

22. Chris Chambers Vs. Carolina Panthers -- With Gates hampered by an injury Chambers might get more attention from Rivers.

23. Joey Galloway At New Orleans Saints -- The Saints secondary seems to enjoy giving up long touchdowns. Galloway is old but fast and still a big play receiver.

24. Patrick Crayton At Cleveland Browns -- Crayton will have to compete with Witten and TO for throws but the Cleveland defense has been generous in the past to receivers.

25. Laveranues Coles At Miami Dolphins -- Word is that Coles is unhappy about Pennington being traded away but a touchdown pass from Favre could help the healing process being I would think.

Wide receiver is a tough position to draft for as its very hard to find consistant scorers from receivers without paying extra for it in your draft. If I'm unable to secure some of the top tier receivers I always try to draft a deep squad in the later rounds so I can start based on the match ups. Its amazing what a good cover corner can do to your fantasy stud receiver sometimes.

Some recent notes, Steve Smith has lost some value as he is suspended for games 1 & 2 for an altercation in training camp. While its only 2 games that is almost 15% of the fantasy regular season he is guaranteed to miss. Also Coles & Cotchery's values have shot up as they finally have a QB who can get them the ball consistantly. Brandon Marshall has joined Steve Smith and is now suspended for the first 3 games of the season and over 1/5 of the fantasy regular season. I would try to avoid both receivers unless you are confident your team will make the playoffs as you'll have to do it without their help early.
