The Chiefs are surrendering a league-worst 8.52 yards per pass attempt, and have given up 20 passing TDs this year. Meanwhile, Kerry Collins is starting to get the hang of things in Oakland; he's passed for 566 yards and six touchdown passes in the last two weeks. Over the last five weeks, Collins has averaged 282 passing yards per game while the Chiefs have surrendered 344 per game. This weekend's game should be a high-scoring affair as the Raiders try to keep pace with the Chiefs' explosive passing attack.

Collins should build on his breakout game against the Broncos by lighting up another AFC West rival. The Chiefs defense is as bad as it gets, allowing over 8.5 yards per attempt through the air. Collins should feel more comfortable in this offense now, and he's starting to develop a strong rapport with his young receivers. When Collins is on, he's still got one of the best arms in the league--and I think we might see him finish out the season on a high note.

McNair is back on the field and he looked pretty good against the Houston Texans. Though there has been some talk of him retiring after this year, I doubt that will affect his desire to whip up some stats against the division rival Colts. Luckily, the Colts give up a decent amount of FF points to opposing QBs, and they score so much that other teams often go to the pass a lot. That works for McNair, who can throw a lot and get a lot of FF stats if called upon.

Vick has generally played well over the last four weeks after struggling in the first half of the season, but this week he runs into a Buccaneer defense that has held its opponents to an average of just 166 yards passing this season. When Vick faced the Bucs three weeks ago, he completed just 50% of his passes for 147 yards (1 TD, 1 INT). In four career games against the Bucs, Vick has never passed for more than 150 yards.

Vick is averaging just 103 passing yards in three career games against the Bucs. Expect an angry Tampa Bay defense, after a tough last minute loss to the Panthers. The Falcons aren't ready to cost, but they've just about clinched the playoffs, and a letdown this Sunday wouldn't be much of a surprise.

Vick has been impressive lately in guiding the team to victories, and he has racked up decent FF stats, but mostly with his high yardage rushing games. The Buccaneers are one of the best teams in the league against the pass, and they give up only 14.1 FF points per game to opposing QBs. Unless Vick gets those legs going against the Bucs, he will end below the baseline this week. The Bucs have been historically pretty good at containing Vick, and I expect that trend to continue this week.

In his two starts this season, Goings has averaged 113.5 rushing yards and 1.5 touchdowns per game. This week he faces an atrocious Saints defense that is giving up a league-worst 154 yards per game and has allowed 13 rushing touchdowns.

For a part-time player, Duckett has seen great success against the Bucs. His rookie year (and their Super Bowl season), he had 99 yards on twenty-three carries. Their first meeting this year, he had two touchdowns on fifty-three yards on twelve carries. If Atlanta gets close to the goalline, Duckett will probably score this weekend.

I don't understand why Kevin Jones is listed below the baseline of RB24 on our top-200 list. His last few weeks have been really impressive in terms of yardage and he seems to finally be showing why he is expected to be the future feature back at the position for the Lions. He looks to have the same type of fantasy future for '04 as a guy like Thomas Jones - he is all his team has. That said, with middle of the pack defense Arizona coming into town - a defense that tends to underperform on the road - I expect Kevin Jones to easily reach into the top-24 RBs.

Johnson is coming off a 202-yard rushing effort against the Browns, but could hit a speed bump this week against the stingy Ravens defense. The Ravens are allowing only 3.5 yards per carry, and have given up only six rushing TDs all year. Johnson should get plenty of carries this week, but is an underdog to find the endzone.

Johnson had his best game of the season last week, but things move fast in today's NFL. Coming off a loss that damages the Ravens playoff hopes, I think we're going to see the Ravens show up with their "A" game. That means Ray Lewis and company won't allow many points.

Rudi racked up a phenomenal number of yards last week in the offensive shoot-out of the decade against the Browns. This week, the squad goes into Baltimore. Things will be radically different in this week's game for the Bengals. I am also considering the "return to norm" factor that generally chases career performances - how many times did Corey Dillon come off a huge day to post pedestrian numbers the next week? Against the Ravens, that common statistical situation will be magnified.

Moss got off to a slow start this year, but in his last four games he's averaged four catches for 91 yards and 0.5 touchdowns -- a cool 12 fantasy points per games in standard scoring leagues. This week Chad Pennington should return to the lineup, and the Jets will face a Texan defense that is ranked 29th in passing yards allowed, 28th in yards per pass allowed, and 32nd in passing touchdowns allowed.

Moss has been a disappointment this year, but he likely sees his quarterback return against a bad Texans defense. The Jets offense has been conservative in recent weeks, but they'll likely need a few touchdowns to beat Houston. Moss is the big play threat in the offense, and could come up with a big play or two for a score.

Moss' opponent this week - the Houston Texans - are dead last in FF points given up to opposing WRs. Meanwhile, Moss seemed to connect with his QB again last week as he had a decent fantasy day. Another decent fantasy day against one of the league's worst pass defenses in terms of FF points against for QBs and WRs, and I believe Moss will easily end up above the WR30.

Moulds is coming off a very good game against the Seahawks; he caught 8 passes for 93 yards and had zero drops. But this week he faces probably the best cornerback tandem in the league in Patrick Surtain and Sam Madison. The Dolphins are allowing a league-low 152 yards passing per game, and are giving up only 5.53 yards per pass attempt.

Roy Williams is a beast, but his outlook for this week isn't very good. The Lions passing attack has gone from bad to nonexistent, and neither Joey Harrington nor Mike McMahon look very good. The Cardinals pass D is pretty good, and this one looks like it will be a pretty low scoring and ugly game.

While it is true that Keenan fit in real well with the Chargers initially, LT seems to be back in force, Gates is clearly the team's top receiving threat, and Eric Parker has been incorporated heavily into the game plan. Against the Broncos and Champ Bailey, McCardell will struggle to find himself open. The team knows Bailey can't stand on an island, and it is now sloughing a safety over to McCardell's side with Bailey in coverage - that will mean a low number of targets will be going McCardell's way.

Jolley has only had one game so far this year in which he's had more than 50 yards receiving. He could get his second this weekend against a Kansas City defense that is really struggling against the pass. Jolley has fair quickness and is a nice target near the goal line.

Anytime you catch seven balls for three touchdowns, you're going to get noticed. With rookie Luke McCown getting his first start, he might look to the hot hands of Heiden against a tough Pats D.

Franks is on a mini-streak of TD catches and may be reemerging as Favre's favorite red zone target with Ahman Green injured. I expect against Philadelphia's tough pass defense that the underneath route to Franks may be used more - or they will be keeping him in more for pass protection. Either way, I predict another TD catch this week from Franks, which should be enough to launch him into the top-12 for TEs.

McMichael got off to a very hot start this year, but has cooled off a bit over the last three weeks. The Bills, meanwhile, are playing good defense and should hold McMichael to fewer than 50 yards with to touchdowns.

Shockey's done well against the Redskins, but I can't advocate starting any Giant besides Tiki Barber these days. The Redskins pass D is very good, and expect Greg Williams to make Eli Manning's day a very long one.

I have been really striking out in this category, so I feel like I am picking in the dark, but I'll give it a whirl. This week, I am going to pick Wiggins for a combination of the fact that Chicago still seems to cover opposing TEs pretty well - they held Jason Witten without a catch for three quarters on Turkey Day - and because Randy Moss is back. Randy is obviously Culpepper's primary target, especially in the red zone, and I expect Wiggins will be left to the wayside as Randy will come out this week with a statement game that he is healthy.
