QUARTERBACK
>> TONY
ROMO
Cowboys
AT Bears
He threw for 531 yards and six touchdowns in the first two weeks--but as a
backup on many fantasy teams, his points were left on the bench. This isn't the
week to play Romo
, however. Chicago
's defense, despite losing some starters,
has allowed two passing TDs, intercepted two passes and had seven sacks.
Matt Leinart
Cardinals
at Ravens
He has thrown for 203 yards or fewer in six of seven career road games, and he
has no multi-TD games away from Arizona
. Since 2005, Baltimore
has allowed 300
passing yards twice--to Drew Brees
and Carson Palmer
.
RUNNING BACK
<<
Marshawn Lynch
Bills at Patriots
Just look at what the rookie's predecessor in Buffalo, Willis McGahee
, did in
five starts against the Pats: 61 yards per game and zero TDs.
Travis Henry
Broncos
vs. Jaguars
Jacksonville
's run stuffers held Atlanta
to 82�yards. Also, Cecil Sapp
and
Selvin Young
are suddenly in Denver
's backfield mix.
Marion Barber
Cowboys
at Bears
Chicago
limited LT and LJ to a combined 2.4-yard average. Barber isn't in their
class--and he shares carries.
TIGHT END
>> Vernon
Davis
49ers
at Steelers
Having seen the Rams
struggle to take down Davis
in a highlight-reel play last
week, one might be tempted to start him. But despite facing heavy pressure in
Weeks 1 and 2, Alex Smith
has completed only two passes per game to his TE.
Don't lean on Davis
until his QB does.
