Tuesday Morning Quarterback

Player of the Week: Jags Defense? No problem! Washington's Santana Moss had his way with the Jacksonville secondary to the tune of 138 yards and 3 TDs. And just to give his fantasy owners an added bonus, two of those TDs went for 50+ yards each -- 55 and 68 yarders. (Getty Images)

News & Notes

Donovan McNabb continues to roll finding a new favorite target each week. First Stallworth, then Westbrook, now Greg Lewis. Hmmm. Do we see a pattern here? Looks like Lewis is our next Eagle to sit out with an injury, I suppose.

Vintage Favre must not have been "what's in" this week. 22 for 44? Shoulder injury? You're sillouette is going to look great riding off into the sunset this year.

Heartbreaker for the Jets this week but they looked good. The Great Mangini is taking his lumps about passing on that first half field goal, but I liked the call. Why the hell not? We've already won twice as many games as we thought we would.

Houston gets it's first win of the season and the rest of us learned that it's time to start benching those Dolphins. The whole team is turning into the fantasy bust of the year.

Someone told me that he "had a feeling" about Joe Horn this week. I wish he told me that the feeling was that Michael Colston is replacing him as the go-to guy this year.

Is it that Buffalo isn't as bad as people make them out to be or is Minnesota just not that good?

Steve McNair showing he's Mr. Clutch and the Ravens D holds down LTD. Very upsetting day for the Chargers all the way around.

Let the switch begin!!! Larry, Anquan, Edge...meet Matt. Matt, these are the guys. Now let's see some friggin points!!!

It's a shame Vince Young had to make his debut against these Cowboys huh? He looked a little shaky out there, but he's only going to get better. Atleast he's starting now.

All you Larry Johnson owners laughing at me after I said to trade Larry Johnson? Keep laughing. His value won't be any higher than it is right this second. He can't play the Niners every week.

Don't you love a game that features top defenses and it ends up being 36-30 in OT? 2 big weeks in a row for Mark Brunnell and guess who's got the Giants secondary next time out?

Fantasy wonderland in that Lions/Rams game. If only I took that Mike Furrey guy seriously in the free agent bids...

::shakes head in disgust:: Only the Raiders, man. Only the Raiders.

It was if Tom Brady walked over to Carson Palmer, flashed his Super Bowl rings and mushed him in the face.

I have watched Shaun Alexander. I have drafted Shaun Alexander. You, Maurice Morris, are no Shaun Alexander.
