ESPN's Matthew Berry - Love / Hate list
Laurent Robinson - Even though Robinson has been a pleasant surprise early in the year, I don't think he is going to get going against Charles Woodson and Al Harris.
I am onboard with Matt Ryan. I just don't buy what The Hoodie is selling anymore. With Moss and Welker injured and doubtful for the game, the Patriot defense is going to be scrambling, but I don't see them holding down the Falcons. But, I am not with Berry when he puts Brady and Moss in his love list. Moss is listed as doubtful, and Brady has not been sharp.
Beanie Wells has to suplant Tim Hightower before he can "explode" and with two nice performances by Hightower in weeks 1 and 2, I don't see Wells doing more than stealing some carries, especially with his fumbles last week.
While Felix Jones might have a strong game, Tashard Choice will get a few sub carries, but not enough to start him in any leagues.
Ray Rice WILL have a strong game against the hapless Browns.
Chris Johnson will find the going tough against a solid and tough Jets defense. While he is worth starting as a stud, this will not be a strong game for Johnson.
Ok, this is a gut feeling pick, but I think Brandon Marshall will have a good game against Oakland, even if Matthew doesn't think so.
CBS Sportsline's Jamey Eisenberg - Start 'Em and Sit 'Em
This is a nice thought, Trent Edwards to have a strong game against the Saints and why not, they will be behind, and they will be in a shoot out and Edwards has good targets on the outside and the Saints defense is not known for its tenacity. Nice call on this one.
I wouldn't be starting Ben Rothlisberger this week if I had a choice. The Bengal defense has been surprising this year and I think Big Ben will be under pressure very much like Aaron Rodgers was last week. Rothlisberger is stronger in the pocket, but not as elusive as Rodgers... it won't matter.
Fred Jackson is worth starting, but he won't make put up great grounds numbers as the Bills get into a shoot out, the only way Jackson shines is with check downs and screens.
I might start Benson if I had him this week, even against the Steelers. Even the the Packer D is a cheap imitation of the Steel Curtain, the schemes are the same and Benson is really running strong, very impressive.
Frank Gore will get his, either on the ground or in the air. Heck, even Detroit made inroads against the vaunted Purple People Eaters last week, so I see moderate ground success, but Gore is also a threat out of the backfield and I see that happening.
I like the Steve Smith start, no, not that Steve Smith, the other Steve Smith... the New York one.
Devery Henderson is not a sleeper option, but is a sleep option. (just had to add this in here)
As with Berry, Eisenberg is sitting Marshall this week, but I just have this feeling. Start Brandon.
I don't see Kellen Winslow having a strong game against the Giants. I might start him if I had him, but I would set my expectations lower.
My bust that neither mentions is John Carlson against the Bears. The Bears linebacker corp can shut him down, or at least limit him... besides, I am starting JerMichael Finley instead.
