You Know Who Should You Start?

Dominic Rhodes (RB-IND) After being banged up numerous times during a hellish touch football season in the Spring of '06, I know more about hamstring injuries than most NFL players and medical staffs. Once you tweak a hamstring, the pain never goes away. Continually trying to play through the injury only makes it worse. Last week, Joseph Addai injured his hammy in practice and couldn't make it past the first play in Ravens game. Enter Dominic Rhodes. Dom Dom has shown in the past that he’s capable backup and this week's game against the Packers couldn't be more appetizing. While he won't be the Lou Gehrig to Addai's Wally Pipp, he will sufficiently tear through the Green Bay defense. After Rhodes pillages Green Bay and ravages its women, he'll sit on his hotel balcony, enjoy a Miller Lite and a brat, and think about a job well done.

You Know Who Else Should You Start?

Matt Schaub & Kevin Walter (QB & WR - HOU) The Texans play the Lions this week. The Lions! Do you know what the Lions are? They're a sitting duck. A road apple, Newman. The Lions are weak. They're feeble. I think it's time to put the hurt on the Lions.

Trent Edwards (QB - BUF) If you were paying attention last week, you saw wide open Patriots receivers running through the San Diego secondary with a QB unable to hit them. You'll see more of that this week when the Chargers take on the Bills, only Edwards is actually capable of getting the ball into his receivers hands.

DeAngelo Williams (RB-CAR) The lighting looks good for the boom-or-bust two-face. No need for the brown bag this week.

Devin Hester (WR-CHI) Having finally discovered the ability to catch on the run, Hester looks mighty fine against that weak Minnesota pass D. It's about time we saw him take back a kick, too.

Antwaan Randle El (WR - WAS) I expect him to put up numbers similar to Steve Smith’s against Cleveland last week. After last week’s loss, look for the ‘Skins to come out firing.
