DAUNTING DECISIONS

When you think your having a bad week or month consider the following: It was nothing compared to Dallas' WR Coach Todd Haley. Earlier this season he was torn into by Terrell Owens. Now he's filing a lawsuit against McDonalds because his wife found a dead rat in her salad. One may question why the McDonalds' employee who made this salad did not remove the dead rat, but then again there's a reason these people work at McDonalds. Moving on to Sit/Start.....

Leon Washington- It appears that the rookie out of FSU has taken over as the Jets main RB. Washington's talent has never been questioned, but his durability has. Until he shows any signs of injury continue to start him. He has a very favorable matchup against Cleveland on Sunday, and he should once again put up good numbers.

Travis Henry- Another RB on a hot streak has been Travis Henry. The Titans running game has been a revolving door since Eddie George left, but Henry has put up consistent production the last few weeks. He should play well against Houston on Sunday, but this could be his last hurrah with a tougher schedule on the horizon and the reemergence of LenDale White.

Philip Rivers- The Chargers seemed to know what they were doing by making Rivers their starter this season. He has gotten off to a solid start and each week the Chargers expand the offense a little more for him. The Rams pass defense has been shredded on recent weeks, and Rivers should have a big day.

Matt Leinart- Last week I thought he'd have a big game, and I was dead wrong. This week will be different as he goes against Green Bay. If you don't believe me, remember that Joey Harrington threw for 414 yards and 2 TDs against the Packers last week. Basically this means I could step in there and throw for 200 and a TD, so Leinart should have a bounce back week.

Rex Grossman- Another QB poised to get back on track is Rex Grossman. After his horrible, fantasy killing six turnover performance, he gets just what the doctor ordered: The 49ers! Expect that Bears offense that tore it up the first part of the season to return to its form this week.

Colts RBs- If you've been relying on the Dominic Rhodes and Joseph Addai tandem this season, you probably aren't doing too well. This week try to avoid it completely because Indy plays the stout Denver defense that only gives up touchdowns when Jake Plummer throws and interception inside his own 30.

Fred Taylor- The Jaguars RB has been a surprise this season. Not because of the solid stats he's putting up, but because he's still healthy. He won't put up solid stats and may not stay healthy against an aggressive Philadelphia defense who usually plays the run well.

Frank Gore- I've never been as high on Gore as other people have this season, but regardless of how I feel, it's a bad idea to start Gore against the Bears this week. He still has injury and fumbling issues and should be largely unproductive all day long.

Seahawks WRs- The loss of Matt Hasselbeck hurts the value of Deion Branch, Darrell Jackson, and the rest of the deep Seattle WR core. Seneca Wallace is a much better runner than he is a passer and was almost converted to WR. He should rely on Jerremy Stevens when he passes, scramble often, and handoff the football even more.

Cadillac Williams- Williams had a decent day against Philadelphia and should do the same or worse against a stronger Giants defense that had eliminated the run since their bye in week 4. The Giants defense is a bit banged up, but Williams should be largely unproductive all day long.
