QUARTER BACK

DONOVAN MCNABB Eagles vs. Giants
Last week's win over Houston , in which Donte' Stallworth and Reggie Brown made major contributions, dispelled any notion that the Eagles have no quality receivers. McNabb , who has a 13-to-4 career touchdowns-to-interceptions ratio against Big Blue, gets to exploit a secondary that Peyton Manning picked apart.

DAUNTE CULPEPPER Dolphins vs.�Bills
His Miami debut was less than stellar (no TDs, two interceptions), and Buffalo's defense held Tom Brady in check (163 yards, two TDs, one interception). However, Culpepper has better weapons at his disposal across the board than Brady --especially Chris Chambers , whom Buffalo couldn't cover last year.

STEVE MCNAIR Ravens vs. Raiders
He efficiently spread the ball around in dismantling the Bucs on Sunday. Against the Raiders look for the former league co-MVP to put the ball in the air more than the 27 times he did in last week's clock-grinding battle in Tampa . In 2005, playing for the hapless Titans, McNair threw for 229 yards on 40 attempts against Oakland .

DREW BREES Saints vs. Packers
Brees has to be feeling pretty good about this matchup after seeing Rex Grossman fillet the Packers ' defense for 262 yards and a TD. Look for lots of short dump passes and screens to Reggie Bush , which will inevitably lead to a bomb or two to Joe Horn , who was nearly invisible on Sunday (two catches, 25 yards).

RUNNING BACK

JULIUS JONES Cowboys vs. Redskins
All eyes will be on Washington 's Clinton Portis , who is expected to make his first start in this game, but Jones will steal the show after a stellar opener of his own in Week 1 against a very tough Jaguars front seven. Last season Jones averaged 4.7 yards per carry against a Redskins team that allowed an average of 4.1.

WILLIE PARKER Steelers vs. Jaguars
Fast Willie came up a yard short of crossing the goal line and thus having an even bigger game against the Dolphins last Thursday than he'd already had (115 yards). The strength of Jacksonville 's D lies in defensive tackles John Henderson and Marcus Stroud , so look for the Steelers to run Parker to the outside.

CADILLAC WILLIAMS Buccaneers vs. Falcons
Atlanta could not keep Cadillac from the fast lane last season, allowing him to run wild in both of the teams' meetings. In those two games Williams , then just a rookie, carried a total of 50 times for 266 yards and two touchdowns, plus he caught four passes for 23 yards. Look for more of the same this time around.

RONNIE BROWN Dolphins vs. Bills
The Patriots duo of Corey Dillon and Laurence Maroney racked up 159 yards rushing against the Bills. Brown was held to 30 yards against the Steelers (though he had two TDs), but look for him to bounce back strong in Miami 's most anticipated home opener since the Jimmie Johnson era.
