You Know Who You Should Start?

J.T. O'Sullivan (QB - SF) After being passed around the NFL more than the town bicycle, this crafty veteran has finally found a home in San Francisco. Crafty? Okay, that's kind of a stretch, but Mike Martz can make anyone look good. The names Warner, Bulger and Kitna weren't exactly synonymous with performance until they were under the Mad Scientist's tutelage. Last week, O'Sullivan played well in a hostile environment against a decent Seattle defense. Now he's at home against a Lions team that has given up 82 points over the last two weeks. Usually a Martz QB spends more time on his back than your sister did back in college, but thankfully Detroit's defense doesn't present much of a pass rush. Martz will also be looking to send a big F-YOU to the Lions after the team gave up on him last year. Expect O'Sullivan to ride Air Martz and ride it well on his way to a big fantasy weekend.

You Know Who You Should Also Start?

Aaron Rogers (QB - GB) Rogers showed last year that he could light up the Cowboys defense. After watching McNabb do the same last week, this seems like an easy play.

Julius Jones (RB - SEA) The Rams have been bludgeoned by opposing teams' running games over the past two weeks. After showing what he can do with a decent amount of carries last week, Jones should continue the trend.

Kevin Smith (RB - DET) Silent Bob should snag a TD or two in this shootout.

Santana Moss (WR - WSH) After slipping in most fantasy drafts, Moss is quietly putting together a nice start to the season. If the Cardinals score points like they're capable of, Moss and his Redskin buddies will have to air it out to keep up.

Bryant Johnson (WR - SF) Someone's going to have to catch O'Sullivan's passes.

John Carlson (TE - SEA) Wide receivers are falling so fast in Seattle that the Seahawks had to bail Koren Robinson out of prison just to get some talent on the field. Carlson has been the only constant for Hasselbeck this year and the coaches love him.
