So, Week 2 of the Over/Underacheivers went well. My only major slips were recommending Patrick Crayton and Donovan McNabb. But, like Meatloaf never said, “2 out of 12 ain’t bad.” Also, according to the Talented Mr. Roto scale of correctness, over the past 2 weeks, I am 15 for 24 (63% correct). Onward we go to the bargain bin!

Better Than Usual: QBs

Drew Brees – NO vs. TEN – Here it is Brees owners! It’s your week for redemption! Tennessee’s defense is just awful with 1 INT and 5 Sacks so far this season. Third time is a charm, right Drew?

Jason Campbell – WAS vs. NYG – Last Monday night, Bette Midler visited Campbell and gave him some wind beneath his wings. What is this? Shitty Music Shout Out Day? Ugh! Anyway. He looked great against a very good Philly defense, and will look better with a great game behind him and an awful defense in front of him.

Not So Much: QBs

Carson Palmer – CIN @ SEA – No, I can’t tell you to bench Carson Palmer. That’s crazy. I can tell you that me might not crest the 17 point benchmark with a much stingier defense and the deafening surroundings of Seattle in his future.

Brett Favre – GB vs. SD – Believe me, San Diego is pissed right now. Look for Shawne Merriman to attempt to murder yet another aging perennial star.

Better Than Usual: RBs

Ronnie Brown – MIA @ NYJ – What’s that smell coming from Miami? Ah, Ronnie Brown’s point totals from the previous two weeks. Well, Cam Cameron went on record saying they need to focus more on the run, and what better time than when you’re playing the 4th worst run defense?

Cedric Benson – CHI vs. DAL – Dallas has given up big time points to the Giants and the Dolphins, a couple of below par JV clubs. Look for Sir Weeps-A-Lot to have himself a nice game at home against America’s team on Sunday night.

Not So Much: RBs

Frank Gore – SF @ PIT – The 49ers will be playing from behind after around the 5th minute of the game. From then on, Gore will become just one more brick in the Lego wall trying to keep Alex Smith from being turned into ground beef.

Edgerrin James – ARI @ BAL – Edge has been looking very good lately. Well, that comes to a temporary halt this week. The good news is most people didn’t draft Edge as their starter, so good for you!

Better Than Usual: WRs

Reggie Brown – PHI vs. DET – Okay, Donovan’s proved his point. See, if I don’t throw to our #1 receiver…EVER…we’ll lose every time! You are correct, sir! Here’s your chance, McNabb, Detroit will have DBs on James Avant, Kevin Curtis, Hank Baskett…hell, they’ll probably even put someone on Todd Pinkston at his house. Because EVERYone’s gotten the ball more than Brown.

Santana Moss – WAS vs. NYG – I put his QB up here, and he’s got to throw somewhere. You know it’s gonna be Moss after the two of them made sweet, sweet football love on Monday Night Football. The Giants even know it and STILL won’t be able to stop them.

Not So Much: WRs

Steve Smith – CAR @ ATL – DeAngelo Hall LIVES for matchups like this. He hasn’t had a superstar to cover yet this season, so look for him to have the taste of blood in his mouth.

Braylon Edwards – CLE @ OAK – I told you to watch for him to do great things last week. This week I’m telling that Oakland’s pass defense is very good, expect less than last week.
