We're starting with our QB's and RB's...check back for our WR's and TE's
QUARTERBACK
START
Derek Anderson - Not ready to drink the cool-aid yet, but Anderson may benefit from an Oakland pass defense ranked 29th in the league. With safety blanket Kellen Winslow and Braylon Edwards starting to heat up, Anderson may use the momentum of last week's freakish outing to air it out.
Carson Palmer - I'm sure you know not to sit your studs, and this week is not the week to vary from that winning formula. Although stingy with the points, the Seahawk's pass defense has shown some vulnerability and Johnson and Houshmandzadeh are sure to get the ball in the endzone.
Matt Hasselbeck - This is the week that Hasselbeck starts getting his owners their money's worth. The Cincinnati secondary was exposed last week , and although their not likely to get toasted for 50 plus points, I don't think their going to solve their problems in a week.

SIT
Brett Favre - Despite the resurgence of Green Bay, it's hard to imagine Favre having much success against a humiliated Charger defense rearing to go after the whooping by New England. Notwithstanding week 2, the Charger defense has playmakers able to stop Green Bay's passing attack and end the winning streak.
RUNNING BACKS
START
Joseph Addai - Before the injury to Houston's star wideout, Andre Johnson, many observers have suggested that this might be the Colts first loss. Addai's running opens up Indy's passing game, however, Houston's Run D should give Addai fits. However, without Johnson, Houston's D is going to spend a lot of time on the field and that means a steady dose of Addai.
Ronnie Brown - The Jet's D is a little banged up and Mangini hasn't impressed with his scheming, both against the pass and the run. Brown, although not quite a sleeper, will pleasantly please fantasy owners this week.

SIT
Marshawn Lynch - Not this week! The New England run defense defines stout and if Buffalo scores it's gonna be through the air.
Marion Barber III - Hmmmm.....this is a great week as we are gonna find out whether the cowboys are as far along as their fans hope they are. Barber has scored well against two suspect defenses, and the Bears will manhandle the 'boys o-line and swarm to the ball. Just ask LT!
Laurence Maroney - A lot of folks were expecting Maroney time after the departure of Corey Dillon, but Sam Morris has step into Dillon's shoe's. As in the San Diego game, expect goal line plunges to feature Morris or even Heath Evans. Plenty of work between the 20's for Maroney, but unless he breaks one, the scoring opportunities will be scarce.
Larry Johnson - DISCLOSURE!!!! As a Fantasy Football enthusiast, I cannot guarantee that I will follow my own advice, which is, sit Larry Johnson. Assuming you have other options, most A or B level running backs will fare better than Johnson will against Minnesota. However, based on his past production and generally high draft position, it is hard to resist the feeling that this week will be the week. But it won't.
