Generally after week 2 the fantasy stars have had their chance to shine and have done so. Lets get to the thick of it.
Starts
Frank Gore - The Lions run Defense is not that good Larry Johnson was just that bad last week. The Lions secondary is not great but I expect gore to see a big workload.
Steve Smith - First week back and the defense is a heavy run D but you can pass on them. Look for smith to have a big "week 1."
Eli Manning - Cinca who>? Manning will go off against one of the worst ranked pass defenses in the league. Good start for Buress and Toomer as well.
Michael Turner - I believe those who threw him away after a big week one will shed some tears on Sunday.
Donald Driver - Along with Greg Jennings, after the fireworks we saw last week from the Eagles against the Cowboys I would expect no less from the Packers.
Sit
Jonathan Stewart - No brainier here not a match up I would put any faith in.
Ricky Williams - Dolphins offense, Not there yet. I hear rumors that another running back is going to take some carries again. I don't look for Williams to carry this team as was once predicted.
Phillip Rivers - Have you seen the Jets secondary? Wow If this isn't a run fest! Sit him down
Gus Frerotte- Um the vikings are a run team, Maybe T Jackson wasn't good but I don't think this guy is any better.
Roddy White - Another bad week for Ryan and his receivers , Let the Michael Turner show commence.
Sleepers- I don't usually do this but check last week. All those guys are still underrated and they are great sleeper picks. The Titans Defense is probably the most added on that list, but the rest are less than 50% owned anywhere. Check it out. Pick those guys up if you have a free spot. If Hightower gets another TD, you may be out of luck on him.
Enjoy, Have a good weekend. Check back in next week, and as always stay tuned to FFcollective for the latest fantasy news and advice.

what about sitting all your Oakland Raiders? The NFL needs to step in and remove the senile Al Davis from control of the team, they're the laughingstock of the NFL.

Buffalo's Defense has looked pretty good the first 2 weeks. It looks like Kiffin is working hard to keep his job. I say Mcfadden will have a good game. That is if Fargas is still licking his wounds and I say he is. The receivers there in Oakland seem to have a hard time finding the end zone and the new QB seems to me would rather hand it off than to toss it deep. With the situation Kiffin is in hes damned if he does and damned if he don't. I will almost bet 25-30 carries from Mcfadden and maybe 175 yards. As far as a TD goes I don't think he is going to have a breakout run per say but he may get a red zone carry for a touchdown. The Raiders are not as feared as they once were and I believe that hurts their fantasy impact. I hope that answers your question.

In response to that I wouldn't start any Raider but Mcfadden and that includes Michael Bush.
