Week 6 fantasy preview
SMART STARTS
— Ronnie Brown, RB, Dolphins: I don’t know if the Dolphins will keep directly snapping to him, but he’s back to his old form and should continue that success against the Texasn.
— Donovan McNabb, QB, Eagles: With Brian Westbrook out, Philly will be passing downfield more. Expect some big numbers against San Francisco.
— Kurt Warner, QB, Cardinals: If Dallas’ defense was better, Warner wouldn’t be a must-start, but this game has the makings of a barn-burner or a big Cowboys victory — either way, he’ll be throwing, a lot.
A GOOD NIGHT’S REST
— Steve Slaton, RB, Texans: Slaton is emerging as Houston’s most reliable offensive option. He has some sleeper potential this week to top 100 yard rushing again and score a touchdown.
— Jason Campbell, QB, Redskins: With the Rams visiting, Washington should cruise, and Campbell will thrive with 250 yards passing and a couple touchdowns, at least.
— Brett Favre, QB, Jets: He won’t throw six touchdowns again, but after a bye week, at home against the hapless Bengals might get at least three.
WOULDN’T BE PRUDENT
— Jake Delhomme, QB, Panthers: He’s been solid this season after shoulder surgery, but something’s telling me he won’t have his best game on the road at Tampa Bay.
— Julius Jones, RB, Seahawks: Seattle is still understaffed at WR, and now Matt Hasselbeck might not play. Jones can’t do it all, especially when he’s needed to do it all. Bench him this week.
— Derek Anderson, QB, Browns: Anderson is this close to being a fantasy bust. He’ll cross that line against the Giants on Monday night.
