You Know Who You Should Start?

Seeing is believing — at least that’s what a homeless guy said to me last night after I gave him a couple Hostess mini muffins. I decided to take the hobo’s good words into mind when deciding who will be extra productive this weekend.

Trent Edwards & Lee Evans (QB, WR — BUF) We start in Buffalo where we’ve seen Lee Evans refine his game to become a complete receiver. While no man will ever complain about his explosivity, Evans has also shown the ability to make short and medium-range grabs over the last two weeks. Historically, he owns the Jets, and this week should be no different. Last week I saw the Jets defense make Tyler Thigpen — the same one who was serving you French fries in August — look like a professional QB. Trent Edwards can actually throw the ball around a little, so things should be very positive for this Bills offense on Sunday. Besides, with the way Favre has been turning the ball over, the Bills should see some extra possessions. What’s not to like?


You Know Who Else You Should Start?

David Garrard (QB — JAX) Garrard has been consistent lately, throwing TDs in each of his last four games, doubling up in two of them. Add a Cincinnati defense that’s already picturing its offseason at the Waffle House counter and this should be a good one for Garrard.

Justin Fargas (RB – OAK) Insert a Sid Farkas joke here. No seriously, you insert it for me — I’ll be too busy watching Fargas run wild on a mediocre Falcons D with no injured McFadden to help him.

Donnie Avery (WR – STL) We told you to start Donnie Avery last week and the little man showed up. Press the action on #17 and see that roulette wheel payout again.

Kevin Curtis (WR – PHI) Last week’s game for the Seattle defense was an anomaly. Last time I checked, the Eagles are winners, a group Michael Singletary would be proud of. Andy Reid won’t need to drop trou at halftime to inspire his troops, either. That’s something no one wants to see.

Donald Lee (TE – GB) On Monday night, Dallas Clark was seen knifing up the Titans defense. Scouts have told Matthew Berry that defending the TE is the only weakness the Titans D has. I’ll see TMR’s recommendation and raise you.
