1. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) @ Arizona – Reggie had a stupid week 1 and a forgettable week 2. 162 to 37. This week his good numbers will continue against a suspect Arizona secondary. This game has shoot out potential and Peyton loves prime time games. And he loves throwing to Wayne in prime time games. Expect an average of his 2 weeks and then some 115/1.5
2. Andre Johnson (Houston Texans) vs. Jacksonville – What a week for Andre last Sunday. Good times will keep rolling against the piss poor Jacksonville defense. 149 yards and 2 TDs is a tough act to follow, but 110 and a TD, now that’s almost guaranteed.
3. Randy Moss (New England Patriots) vs. Atlanta – The Patriots ran into a sick Jets defense last week, that shut just about everything down except Julian Edelman. Moss and Brady just had a rough outing. They will both be back this week against the Falcons, and their 17th ranked pass defense.
4. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) vs. Indianapolis – The big yards aren’t there…yet. But the TDs are. This week in a prime time shoot out, Larry gets both. The Colts have a tainted number 1 ranked pass defense, playing Garrard and Pennington. 105/1
5. Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints) @ Buffalo Bills – The best WR on the best offense with the best QB. Yup. If Brees didn’t throw to everyone, Colston would be higher. 100/1

Adrian Peterson has recently joined the likes of Jared Allen and Bernard Berrian, who recently endorsed a Brett Favre signing.
Peterson said during an interview with ESPN that he knows “it’s a possibility” that retired QB Brett Favre might sign with the team. Peterson said, “Just him coming in, the leadership he would definitely bring, a guy that’s well respected, been around the league a long time, I’m a big fan of him. I grew up watching him, just loving the passion he played with. That would be something he would definitely bring to the locker room.”
Like I’m Supposed to belive this guy: Favre’s agent, Bus Cook couldn’t confirm nor deny the report on Saturday, but said “there’s absolutely no substance to all the speculation” surrounding the veteran quarterback’s un-retirement.
Classic Sage
Please remember that Nothing Surprises Sage Rosenfels anymore, but now he doesn’t comment on things that hasn’t happened yet. On Favre coming to Minny, “It doesn’t make any sense to comment on something that hasn’t happened,” says Sage.

Vikings wide receiver Bernard Berrian could barely hide his excitement last week when talking to Star-Tribune reporter Chip Scoggins about the potential of playing with Brett Favre. Well, Berrian’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, weighed in on the topic through Twitter. Wrote Rosenhaus: “Look for Bernard Berrian to explode next season if the Vikings sign Favre. They will be unstoppable! BB can run deep & Favre can throw it deep.”
Staying with Minnesota…
The agent for Pro Bowl cornerback Antoine Winfield said that talks of an extension with the Vikings have broken down. “There are no active negotiations and there are no further talks planned,” Ashanti Webb said in a text message.
Quarterback Jason Campbell has expressed optimism that the Washington Redskins‘ offense will be better this season. In large part, because of wide receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly.”With Devin and Malcolm, we’ve seen the talent these guys have,” he said. “Both of these guys can make plays, they can do things to really help us reach the level we need to as an offense, they’ve just got to be able to stay on the field, get comfortable and do what they do.”
After two spectacular seasons, wide receiver Roddy White and the Atlanta Falcons are in discussions for a contract extension. White, who is set to make $2.28 million next season under his current contract, said he would like to enter the season with his contract situations resolved. “Whenever it happens, it happens,” White said. “We’ll just wait around for it.”
Apparently the Browns refused first round trade offers for Brady Quinn.
The New York Jets are not interested in Pacman Jones.
Ravens cornerback Fabian Washington had offseason neck surgery as well as a procedure on his shoulder. Doctors fused vertebrae in Washington’s neck. “I feel great,” Washington said.
Raiders QB Jeff Garcia is fine with being called a “mentor” by Cable, and had some interesting observations about what Russell can pick up from watching him. “Deep inside we’re all competitors and we all play this game to be on the field, to not be on the sidelines,” Garcia said.
Javon Walker said he did not tell Raiders officials about last month’s knee surgery because he didn’t want to “bother” them with it before the draft. He said the right knee has bothered him since 2007 knee surgery in Denver, and that he hasn’t felt better than 65 percent healthy.

In an interview with ESPN, Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen said he’s a fan of Brett Favre but also noted that the Vikings are not going to “live and die” with whether Favre comes out of retirement to be their quarterback.
“Obviously he’s a tremendous player, he’s a phenomenal quarterback,” Allen said. “Selfishly I think just to say I had a chance to be Brett Favre’s teammate would be pretty cool. But other than that I really don’t have an opinion on it. We’re not going to put all our chips in the basket. We were pretty good without him last year.”
“I try not to get too caught up in it because I don’t want to get too overexcited, thinking that he’s coming and then all of a sudden he doesn’t,” Bernard Berrian said. “He would be a great addition to the team. He’s a great player. He’s done so much for the NFL by himself. He definitely would bring leadership to the team.
“He’s been in the league for 17, 18 years and to have a player of his caliber come in, it speaks volumes for what he can do for this team.”
