Start: Matt Cassel, New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks. After two straight 400 yard games Cassel was unable to do anything against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13. Of course, most quarterbacks have also struggled against Pitt. But Cassel has had some big games against some average defenses and the Seahawks are far from average. The Seahawks are fantasy gold for all…

Start: Brett Favre, New York Jets vs. Denver Broncos. The Jets are the second highest scoring team in the NFL, and the way they are playing and lighting up the scoreboard how can you sit any of their players? He might not be playing the risk taking, long pass game that made him an icon in Green Bay, but…

Start: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers vs. Minnesota Vikings. Quickly becoming one of my favorite fantasy quarterbacks, Rodgers has put all of the criticism to bed at the start of the season with the Favre fiasco. Rodgers showed last week that even against tough defenses like Tennessee he can put up good stats as he threw for over 300 yards and a…

QuarterbacksStart: Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles vs. Seattle Seahawks. In five of his seven games McNabb has thrown one or zero touchdowns, and he has actually been pretty inconsistent. But now Donovan is finally getting his full offense back as Brian Westbrook looks to be back, as well as Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown. Not to mention the Seahawks STINK!…

Is it really Week 8 already? By now you should have a decent idea of who your team is. We are way past “off to a good start” or “struggling out of the gate.”
Start: Jake Delhomme, Carolina Panthers vs. Arizona Cardinals. Delhomme has been on a nice little roll lately, as he has two touchdown passes in three of his…

Start: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers vs. Indianapolis Colts. This might be misleading because the Colts defense has actually been great against the pass, and has only allowed one touchdown through the air all season long. But two things make me think that Rodgers is a good play this week. One, here are the teams the Colts have played…

Start: Matt Cassel, New England Patriots vs. San Diego Chargers. Shockingly, no one has been worst against the pass than the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers are allowing over 250 yards per game through the air and have also allowed 10 passing touchdowns in the first five games. The Patriots offense also got going for the first time this season against…
