Pay of Play Week #5

Quarterbacks: Donovan McNabb, Phi.

The Eagles will finally get their man back as McNabb looks good to go this weekend against the Buccaneers. McNabb did only play half the game the first week at Carolina, but he did throw for two touchdowns in his brief appearance. The Eagles are and always have been a passing team, look for that to continue with McNabb back.

Oh so close: David Garrard, Jac.

Everyone has been torching the Seahawks this year, and Garrard has quietly put together a good season. He threw three touchdowns last week against the Titans, and I could definitely see more of the same here.

Running Backs: Brian Westbrook, Phi.

Just because I said the Eagles were a passing team doesn't mean they don't run the ball well and score some your team some fantasy points. It wouldn't surprise me to see him score you some decent fantasy points in a week where most people are reluctant to start him.

Oh so close: Rashard Mendenhall, Pit.

Mendenhall went off last week at San Diego rushing for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Mendenhall faces the Lions this week, and the Steelers will look to get back to running the ball. Also, expect them to be up, therefore running ball to waste the clock.

Wide Receivers: Mike Sims-Walker, Jac.

This is starting to sound like a Jaguar-Eagle love-fest. But honestly, it's just a coincidence that I like all of these players this week, then again they won't see the stiffest competition this week.

Sims-Walker has proved me wrong every game so far and has definitely established himself as the Jaguars go-to-guy.

Oh so close: Roddy White, Atl.

I want to put this guy here so badly because I was really high on him in the preseason and he has yet to have a big game. He was Matt Ryan's guy last year and I think he'll establish himself as that again beginning this week.

Tight Ends: Vernon Davis, S.F.

I can't believe I actually have this guy here, but he has proved me wrong again and again this year, and seems to have a special rapport with quarterback Shaun Hill.

Oh so close: John Carlson, Sea.

Carlson will be getting his best friend back in Matt Hasselbeck. In the first week with Hasselbeck commanding the offense, Carlson caught six passes for 95 yards and two touchdowns. Don't expect those big of numbers, but maybe something similar with one less touchdown.

Defense: Jets

I really like the Jets this week because they will be seeing a young quarterback starting only his second game this season playing a team who usually stops the run pretty well. I like the Jets to stop the wildcat and the Dolphins.

Oh so close: Colts

Now I'm putting the Colts here, because I think if they can figure out how to stop Chris Johnson this week, they would have a huge week. Seeing as that's a big "if," it's still a gamble.
