WE LIKE THE MATCHUP

QUARTERBACK

DONOVANMcNABB

Eagles ATVikings

Who knew thatMcNabb liked playing in domes almost as much as he likes Chunky Soup? In sixcomplete games indoors he has averaged 285 passing yards while throwing 11 TDsand only three INTs. He'll keep up the pace against Minnesota's sadsecondary.

MARC BULGER

Rams VS.Browns

What was it thatElvis said? oh, right: It's now or never. The beleaguered Bulger goes to workagainst the porous Cleveland defense.

TRENT EDWARDS

Bills AT Jets

J.P. Losmansurely wishes that Edwards wasn't facing New York, which rarely gets sacks,INTs or anything else that could cost a QB his job.

RUNNING BACK

BRANDONJACOBS

Giants ATDolphins

Over the lastthree weeks Jacobs has rushed for 293 yards and two touchdowns. Over those samethree weeks Miami has allowed 298 rushing yards and three TDs on the ground.Those trends bode well for Jacobs owners for this game in London.

BRIANWESTBROOK

Eagles ATVikings

Minnesota'srushing defense can be tough, but Westbrook has gained 100 yards from scrimmagein every game this year.

DESHAWN WYNN

Packers ATBroncos

The rookie shouldextend his TD streak to three games against the NFL's weakest rushingdefense.

MARSHAWNLYNCH

Bills AT Jets

WIDE RECEIVER

T.J.HOUSHMANDZADEH

DONTÉSTALLWORTH

Patriots VS.Redskins

You know anoffense is good when it has three receivers who deserve to be regular fantasystarters. With TDs in each of the last three games, Stallworth joins Randy Mossand Wes Welker in that category.
