Couple Of Things To Watch For

By all accounts when the Raiders take the field v. the Steelers WR Jerry Porter will start opposite Randy Moss

Word out of the Windy City has the Bears leaning toward employing a RBBC in an effort to keep both backs fresh heading into the playoffs. While this is bad news for Thomas Jones owners it may be good news for Benson. He will enter the game by the third series of downs v. the 49ers and if either has the hot hand the team will stick with him.

Time for Johnson to Step Up

Now that the Arizona Cardinals have lost wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald for up to a month with a hamstring injury, it's time for fourth year receiver Bryant Johnson to step up to the plate. Johnson has great size (6-3, 216 pounds) and speed, and according to reports, has all the intagibles needed to succeed at this level. Granted, playing behind Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, it's tough to make an impact. But if there was ever a time to take advantage, now is his time. As far as fantasy owners are concerned, Johnson might be worth a gamble in leagues with four or 5 receivers, as you never know. Working together with a young quarterback like Matt Leinart, the pair could develop an on the field relationship that would increase his value. Only time will tell, but he bears keeping an eye on.

Wilkins On A Roll

Rams K Jeff Wilkins is on a record pace so far this season. Wilkins is on pace for 67 FG attempts and 58 makes which would shatter Neil Rackers 40 made FG set in '05. Wilkins is also on pace to score 195 points which would be a single season scoring record surpassing Packer legend Paul Hornungs's 176.

Brian Westbrook

The knee injury that Eagle RB Brian Westbrook is potentially worse than the team has let on. Westbrook's injury is descibed as a bone bruise but in fact Westbrook has bone against bone in his knee. Westbrook had his knee drained recently and that does seem to alleviate some of the discomfort for the time being but as we saw Monday Night his knee could act up at any time limiting his play. Westbrook and the team have consulted a surgeon and his problem could be fixed with surgery but the recouperation time is anywhere from 2-6 weeks. Westbrook may try to play through the pain rather than opt for surgery so this problem could linger with him all season. Westbrook owners should be cautious and continually find updates on his condition to his availability on a weekly basis
