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

1. Randy Moss (New England Patriots) @ New York Jets – Randy Moss is wicked good. So is Andre Johnson and the Jets shut him down. But Tom Brady is wickeder than Matt Schaub. 110/2
2. Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) @ Jacksonville – In all of the disaster that was the Cardinals offense last week, Fitz was the only one that came to play. 6 grabs, 71 yards, and a TD. And that’s really not that great for Fitz. Things will get better, and this week he will get back on track. 110/1
3. Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) @ Miami – How awesome is this guy. a buck 62 and a TD. Miami just does not have the defense to hold Wayne back. With problems at the 2 spot, Wayne is the man. 110/1
4. Greg Jennings (Green Bay Packers) vs. Cincinnati – Jennings got off to a good start with 106 yards and a TD. Another day at the office this week against a weak Bengals defense. 105/1
5. Roddy White (Atlanta Falcons) vs. Carolina – Roddy White didn’t have a crazy good game last week against the Dolphins. Only 42 yards without a TD. Matt Ryan will be looking for White t./ <—cat walked on the keyboard. this week. 95/1
6. Calvin Johnson (Detroit Lions) vs. Minnesota – Megatron Rules! Johnson had 13 looks from Stafford in week 1, but only grabbed 3. But those 3 went for 90. Sick. Minny’s defense is tough, but you should still expect the same type of output from CJ this week. 90/1 [click to continue…]
How about Joe Flacco. What a lock yo. That was lame, but Joe’s game Sunday wasn’t. He threw for 307 yards and 3 touchdowns. Along with a pick but that’s ok.
Tony Romo had himself a pretty dope day as well. He rocked to the tune of 353 yards and 3 touchdowns.
How awesome is Reggie Wayne? The guy catches everything. This week Reggie hauled in 10 passes for 162 yards and a TD.
Now Adrian Peterson is a sick, sick, man. Did you see him tear up Cleveland’s defense? 180 yards on 25 carries and 3 touchdowns? You can’t be serious. He is on pace for 2,880 yards rushing and 48 touchdowns.
Speaking of “you can’t be serious” Drew Brees can’t be serious. 358 yards and 6 touchdowns. Drew will be this year’s MVP. No doubt in my mind. Can’t wait to go to New Orleans for the Jets game on Oct. 4th to check this guy out. He is my man-crush. [click to continue…]

- Lions Quarterback Daunte Culpepper said his goal is to win the NFC North. Culpepper still looks excellent physically. He said he has been around 260 pounds — more than 30 pounds less than he weighed last year — and is 100% going into training camp for the first time since 2004, when he had the best year of his career and put up huge numbers for Minnesota.
- Titans WR Kenny Britt has been hampered by a hamstring injury. After only a handful of minicamp workouts, he has been unable to showcase his skills. “I don’t have a feel for this guy,” offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger said. “He hasn’t played more than five minutes since he’s gotten here.” – “I hope he’s back there watching things and staying into it mentally.”
- Bengals RB Cedrick Benson is preparing himself for the physical grind. ”No doubt, I’m ready to carry this team on my back,” Benson said. “I’m due, hungry for it, miss it, and excited. It’s good to be on a team that wants you. It’s a great opportunity for me and I am definitely going to seize every moment. I plan to take full advantage of those opportunities and see where it takes us. I’m about whatever it takes to get the job done. I think I am in the best situation that I can be in and it has to happen for me here.”
- Cowboys WR Roy Williams refuted highly respected NFL scribe Peter King’s report that the coachable wide receiver was never on a consistent weight program until this off-season. “That’s trying to find something to make something negative out of me once again,” said Williams, who has been hit by a barrage of criticism since being traded from Detroit to Dallas. “I started lifting weights in the seventh grade.” Williams, a 6-3, 220-pound physical specimen, said he took lifting seriously throughout his high school career at Odessa Permian. He added that he continued to work hard in the weight room at Texas under the guidance of Jeff “Mad Dog” Madden, one of the country’s most famous strength coaches.

- The Packers and WR Greg Jennings are close to agreeing to a new deal, the veteran wide receiver said Monday after minicamp practice. Jennings warned that a breakdown was still possible. Nevertheless, this was the first time he had publicly been so optimistic about a potential new contract with the team since he began seeking a new deal at the conclusion of the 2008 season. “We’ve been working on some things. We’re coming pretty close, as far as my understanding is, to some type of a deal,” Jennings said. “But when I say close, we could still be far . . . if that makes sense. But I think we’re coming close. You just never know how long ‘close’ can take to actually closing the deal.”
- The Packers look like they’re planning to get Ryan Pickett and B.J. Raji on the field together as much as they can. When the Packers drafted Raji with the No. 9 overall pick in April, they talked of moving one of the two behemoth defensive tackles to play some end in their new 3-4 defensive scheme, and in offseason practices they’ve done it. When both players have been present, they’ve lined up with the No. 1 base defense: Pickett exclusively at nose tackle and Raji at defensive end.
- Redskins RB Clinton Portis claims that there is no bad blood between him and coach Jim Zorn. “How this story came about, I have no idea,” Portis said. “There’s nothing going on. There’s no beef between me and Coach Zorn. We’re on good terms at this present moment. There’s no problem.” Portis had a spat with Zorn after the coach benched him at halftime of the Dec. 7 loss at Baltimore. “I don’t know why people have that in their mind,” Portis said. “Me and Coach [Joe] Gibbs had a great relationship. We talked more than me and Coach Zorn do, but lately me and Coach Zorn been talking, trying to get on the same page. Things been going good. He understand me and I understand him.”
- Bengals QB Carson Palmer reiterated that WR Chad Ochocinco remains his top target within the team’s offense. “He’s going to play (the lead role) because he deserves to play there,” Palmer said. “He’s been one of the best receivers in this league for a long time. He’s still able to play at that level, and still capable of making big plays and carrying the load offensively at the receiver spot, so he will.”
- How serious is Cowboys WR Roy Williams taking his new job as the No. 1 receiver? For the first time in his life, or so one of Williams’ unnamed buddies told SI.com’s Peter King. “I’m serious,” King quoted his source. “Roy never lifted before. Now that he has, and now that he’s serious about making himself a great football player, especially with T.O. gone, I think he’s really going to have a good year.” Strength and conditioning coach Joe Juraszek said earlier in June that Williams has been hard at work this offseason to slim down and get himself in better shape for the year.
