Been busy this week guys, so I apologize I did not have this up sooner. Had a rough weekend with my Avoids and Exploit in week 2, but I like what I see in week 3. As usual, green is a match up to EXPLOIT, and red is a match up to AVOID. I see more match ups to EXPLOIT this weekend than to AVOID. Let's get to week 3... SHALL WE!
Green Bay @ St. Louis:
Green Bay: Jennings/Driver/Finley: If this is not the weekend the Packer’s O wakes up, I don’t know when is. Rogers, Jennings, Driver, and Finley should all be in lineups. Don’t expect Jennings to be blanked again this weekend. To be honest, I’d be shocked if he does not go for 100+ yards and at least one TD. Driver has gotten off to a hot start and needs to be in lineups. If you’re hurting at TE, go after Jermichael Finley. I’ve been hyping him quite a bit, and started out slow in week one, but warmed up last weekend. Look for Finley to find his way to pay dirt in week 3.
EXPLOIT: Jermichael Finley, TE, GB
St. Louis: Robinson/Avery/McMichael: I stated it here last weekend. Laurent Robinson is the Rams new #1 WR, not Avery. LRob for a second week in a row showcased his skills against the Skins’ last weekend and caught six passes for 64 yards and a TD on nine targets. In comparison to Avery who caught one pass for four yards, it’s easy to see LRob has arrived. McMichael does not need to be in lineups this weekend.
EXPLOIT: Laurent Robinson, WR, Stl.
G.B. - 28
Stl. - 14
Tennessee @ NYJ:
Tennessee: Gage/Washington/Britt: Titan WR Justin Gage let everyone one in fantasy land down in week two by only catching two passes for 27 yards, but that was basically b/c the Texans had no idea how to stop CJ3. I would not drop Gage just yet, but the Titans do play the Revis and the Jets this weekend. Forget about starting Titan WRs this weekend.
NYJ: Cotchery/Stuckey/Keller: The Titans can be had through the air this year. Just look at what Shaub and Johnson did to them last weekend. I actually like all three of these guys as each one posses a threat to find the end zone this weekend. I would expect Cotchery through to benefit the most.
EXPLOIT: Jerricho Cotchery, WR, NYJ
NYJ - 20
Titans: 14
Atlanta @ New England:
Atlanta: White/Jenkins/Gonzo: White and Gonzo are going to busy this weekend against the vulnerable Pat secondary. Matt Ryan is slowly becoming a star QB in the NFL. Jenks is not getting the targets he was last year and needs to be on the waiver wire.
New England: Moss/Welker/Watson: Trust me when I tell you that the Pats will rebound in week 3 after a MAJOR let down in week 2. I expect the passing attack to be in full attack mode especially playing at home with a chip on their shoulders. Big numbers all around… BIG!
Pats - 30
Dirty Birds - 24
San Fran. @ Minnesota:
S.F.: Morgan/Bruce/Davis: Nope, Nope, and Nope. Too much defense for the Vikes. I would not gamble with any of these guys.
Minnesota: Berrian/Harvin/Shiancoe: Favre finally has all of his weapons now with Berrian returning. Berrian led all Viking WRs in targets last weekend with six. Even though he did not find the end zone, he looked healthy. The 49er’s have a decent pass D, but in the end, the Vikes have too much firepower and Berrian starts to find his groove.
EXPLOIT: Bernard Berrian, WR, Minn.
Vikes - 24
49er's - 13
Kansas City @ Philadelphia:
Kansas City: Bowe/Bradley/Wade: OK, for any of you who are weekly readers, (and you know I love you!) I’m actually recommending Bowe this weekend against the Birds from Philly. He’s had a bit of a slow start, but now seems to be warming up. Although he’s clearly not getting the targets he got last year as he only has 10 targets through two games. I expect that to change this weekend as they will need to play catch up with the Eagles. Bradley and Wade have no value.
EXPLOIT: Dwayne Bowe, WR, KC
Philadelphia: Jackson/Avent/Celek: Even though the Eagles started their backup QB Kolb, he still put up some respectable fantasy stats, passing for close to 400 yards and two TDs. The main beneficiary was TE Brent Celek. Celek had a coming out party of sorts leading all Eagle receivers in catches and yards with eight catches and 104 yards. He’s clearly involved in the Eagles offense and needs to be in fantasy lineups, especially this weekend against the lowly Chiefs. Eagles WR DeShean Jackson also is a must start. The second year pro got his first TD last weekend. I expect number two in week three. Avent surprisingly had a great game after catching seven of his eight targets for 79 yards and a score. He could be yet another sneaky play this weekend. Especially if McNabby and Westy don’t play. That could mean more passing plays. Neither practiced on Wednesday and both are questionable for week three.
EXPLOIT: Brent Celek/Jason Avent
Eagles - 30
Chiefs - 14
Cleveland @ Baltimore:
Cleveland: Edwards/Cribbs: Let’s see here, Brady Quinn against the Ravens D… I don’t think so!
AVOID: Braylon Edwards, WR, Cle.
Baltimore: Mason/Clayton/Heap: Look for the Ravens to be balanced here. The Ravens decided to run the ball last weekend, but look for the Ravens to open it up through the air in week 3. Mason and Heap are both startable, and if you’re desperate, Clayton always has the chance to catch a deep one for a TD. An excellent EXPLOIT match up for the Ravens passing attack..
EXPLOIT: Derrick Mason/Todd Heap
Ravens - 30
Brownies - 10
Jacksonville @ Houston: I could definitely see a lot of points in this game, as both secondaries are pretty bad.
Jacksonville: Holt/Sims-Walker/Lewis: Jags WR Torry Holt has had a slow start to the season but if there was a time for him to find pay dirt, it’s week three. The Jags will need to pass the ball to keep up with the Texans, so expect either Holt or Sims-Walker to have a decent game. I like what I saw from Sims-Walker last weekend catching six passes for 106 yards and a TD. Lewis will get a few targets, but nothing to get excited about.
EXPLOIT: Mike Sims-Walker, WR, Jacksonville.
Houston: Johnson/Walter/Daniels: You had to know the Texans had firepower this weekend. I fully expect the Titans to throw up at least another 20+ points this weekend. Johnson, Walter, and Daniels are all solid plays. Check Walters status before plugging him in. Looks like he may be a go though.
Texans - 34
Jags - 30
Washington @ Detroit: Calling it right now. Lions get in the win column this weekend.
Washington: Moss/Randle El/Cooley: What in gods name is wrong with the Skins passing game. What I saw last weekends against a bad Ram’s D was ugly. I’m sticking with Moss and Cooley again in week 3, just like I did last weekend. But if I were a Moss owner, I would be a bit worried if he can’t get on the same page as Campbell.
EXPLOIT: Moss/Cooley
Detroit: Mega-Tron/Johnson: Learning curve continues for Matthew Stafford. He’s got the right idea throwing a ton of passes to Mega-Tron, but not much else to get excited about in the passing game. Skins’ are actually decent against the pass.
Lions - 24
Redskins - 21
NYG @ Tampa Bay:
NYG: Manningham/Smith/Boss: No brainers here in Manningham and Steve Smith. I must admit, I doubted Smith at the beginning of the year, but he’s got my attention now. He and Manningham are quite the combo right now, and could be in for big days against an injury riddled Bucs Pass D. Both are excellent EXPLOITS for week 3.
EXPLOIT: Manningham/Smith
T.B.: Stovall/Clayton/Winslow: Bad match ups here for the Bucs passing game, although Leftwich has been pretty impressive so far. It’s pretty clear though who his go to guy is, and that’s Winslow. You can’t bench him, but leave Stovall and Clayton on the bench. You’ll thank me later!
Giants - 23
T.B. - 17
Chicago @ Seattle:
Chicago: Hester/Knox/Olson: There may be a new WR to watch in Chi-Town, and his name is Johhny Knox. Knox broke out with a nice game in week two as Cutler targeted him nine times and caught six of them for 70 yards and a TD. He’s worth grabbing off the waiver wire, and could also be a sneaky WR3 play this weekend as well. Cutler missed Hester with a couple of long balls against the Steelers, and always has the chance to catch a long one from Cutler. Owners waiter for TE Greg Olson do not need to wait any longer. I say this is his break out game. Maybe 70+ yards and a TD.
EXPLOIT: Johnny Knox, WR, Chi.
Seattle: Burleson/Housh/Carlson: The Seattle WRs struggled last weekend without Hasslebeck. He now is now inured and may not be able to play this weekend. Whether he plays or not, I don’t see any of the WRs having value until Hass gets back and is healthy. The one guy I would not hesitate sticking in though is TE John Carlson, who I think may be the best option on the ‘Hawks team.
Bears - 17
'Hawks - 14
New Orleans @ Buffalo:
N.O.: Colston/Henderson/Shockey: I expect the Saints to pass the ball more than usual, simply b/c all of their RBs are dinged up. Buffalo’s pass D is not that great, and we all saw what Brees did against a good defense in Philadelphia in week 2. Colston, Henderson, and Shockey all need to be in the lineup.
Buffalo: Evans/T.O. Tough call here, b/c I have not been overly impressed with T.O. or Evans through two weeks. But, they will need to pass the rock this weekend to keep up with the Saints. I think T.O., Evans, and Edwards will find a way to way to move the ball. I could see Evans and T.O. both finding pay dirt this weekend, so this is definitely a match up to EXPLOIT: Evans/T.O.
Saints - 35
Buffalo - 24
Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati:
Pittsburgh: Holmes/Ward/Miller: With the Steelers new pass first pass attack, the Steeler WRs are suddenly every week starters. The main guy is Santonio Holmes who is continues to shine in 2009. He’s definitely got the attention of Big Ben, as evident of the 14 targets he got last weekend. Ward has five TDs in his last four games against the Bengals. Heath Miller is more of a blocker than a receiving TE, so I’d look elsewhere for a TE.
Cincinnati: Ochocinco/Coles/Caldwell: With this game being in Cincinnati and QB Carson Palmer being healthy, I think the Bengals will be in this game. Ochocinco, Coles, and Caldwell will need to step up in order for the Bengals to have a chance, but I just think playing at home, and winning on the road in Lambou, this team may be getting some momentum. Don’t be surprised if you see an upset here.
Steelers - 26
Bengals - 23
Miami @ San Diego:
Miami: Bess/Ginn Jr./Camarillo: Hard to recommend players from this group. I honestly think the Bolts will see a heavy does of Brown and Williams. Ted Ginn Jr, had a breakout game last weekend catching 11 balls for 108 yards, but he also had some costly drops. Bess and Camarillo also should not be in lineups. Each of them only caught three passes last weekend. Too much inconsistency for me.
AVOID: Ted Ginn Jr. (don’t buy into the hype of last weekend)
S.D.: Jackson/Chambers/Gates: It’s clear who the best two out of this bunch are. I must admit, I have been wrong every weekend about Vincent Jackson. He’s finally arrived and owners are reaping the benefits. He’s off to a hot start and is an every week starter from here on out. Gates has yet to find the end zone in 2009, but that changes this weekend. WR Chris Chambers got ten targets last weekend, but only caught two of them for 30 yards? Yikes.
Chargers - 24
Dolphins - 20
Denver @ Oakland:
Marshall/Royal/Stokely: Hard to imagine that WR Brandon Stokely is the leading WR in Denver through two weeks, but that is indeed the case. Marshall and Royal have been huge disappointments. I can’t help to think that either Marshall or Royal is going to get it going. However, this is NOT the weekend to have these guys in your lineup.
AVOID: Marshall/Royal/Stokely
Oakland: Heyward-Bey/Murphy/Miller: Strange game against the Chiefs last weekend, as the passing game looked bad. Denver’s secondary is pretty good from what I’ve seen so far, and both offenses are stinking it up. This will be a low scoring game, but one guy I love this weekend is Zach Miller. Everyone else, do chance it.
Oakland - 14
Denver - 13
Indy @ Arizona:
Indy: Wayne/Garcon/Clark: I expect a lot of balls to be thrown towards Wayne and Clark this weekend. With the Colt’s running game struggling a bit, I think you’ll see the Colts air it out, and Wayne and Clark should have big days. Pierre Garcon may even be a decent play this week. His speed fits the Colts passing attack well.
EXPLOIT: Pierre Garcon, WR, Indy
Arizona: Boldin/Fitz/Breaston: The Zona passing game looked good last weekend. All three of these guys need to be in lineups. This has a high scoring game written all over it. Breaston looks to be back in good form after missing week one. Breaston responded by catching all five of the passes thrown his way for 83 yards. He could find his way into the end zone in week three.
EXPLOIT: Steve Breaston, WR, Zona.
Colts - 28
Cards - 21
Carolina @ Dallas:
Carolina: Smith: Not much else to recommend from the Panthers receiving core. I expect Smittee to have a big game, but the running game is what the Panthers will have to do to win this game.
Williams/Crayton/Witten: Was spot on in labeling Roy Williams as a Match up to AVOID in week 2. He mustard-up a whole one catch for 18 yards. He is clearly not WR1 material and YES, needs to be avoided if at all possible. I will promise all of you one thing about this game Monday night. Jason Witten will have a HUGE game. The Panthers D has never played well against TEs. I see 6-7 catches for 80+ yards, and a TD at the very least. WR Patrick Crayton could also have a good day as the Panthers have allowed five TDs in two games. Look for Romo to rebound from last weeks poor performance.
AVOID: Roy Williams, WR, Dallas
EXPLOIT: Patrick Crayton, WR, Dallas
Panthers - 23
Cowboys - 21
That's all I got folks. I'm still a little busy, but I will discuss as much as I can about the WR match ups this weekend.

Yeup, appreciate the find...
No kidding. I'm no Bills fan, but something tells me we see one of the few forgettable Brees performances Sunday. This Bills team is laying in the weeds for people this year. Don't get me wrong, you don't shut down Drew Brees. But I'd be shocked if this wasn't his worst statistical day of the young season. Which isn't saying much. Dude could pass for about 3 billion yds and 3 TD's and it'd still be his worst week yet. Great writeup laughinboy, as usual.
good thread, good read
I honestly think both will play. I think Harvin should be the one you have in your lineup though, but check the injury status for both players.

Good luck boots. I expect him to see some red zone action this weekend.
