First Arizona's Rob Moore went down for the year with a knee injury in the preseason. Then Joey Galloway of Dallas bit the dust with a knee injury in Week 1. Now you can add Washington's Michael Westbrook to the list of players fantasy owners will have to do without after he suffered a season-ending knee injury last Sunday.

Ouch.

I had Galloway on my team this year, so I can relate to what the Westbrook owners are going through. I just hope you have better luck finding a replacement than I did last week. I picked up Cleveland's JaJuan Dawson, who promptly broke his collarbone and will be out at least 10 weeks.

Ouch. 

Speaking of aches and pains, Denver K Jason Elam will be out for 3-8 weeks after injuring his back last Sunday. The Broncos signed Joe Nedney to replace Elam and he's definitely worth a look given the high altitude at Mile High Stadium and the Broncos' solid offensive attack.

But injuries are going to happen. Fantasy football is all about the survival of the fittest. It's a sprint, not a marathon and anything can happen on any given Sunday (insert your favorite sports cliche here). So there's every reason to believe I will overcome the loss of Galloway, you will overcome the absence of Westbrook or Elam and we'll win our leagues this year.

So now that I have you sufficiently motivated, let's look at the action for Week 3. If you have any Titans, Colts or Cardinals, look for other fantasy options since those three teams have byes.

Atlanta at Carolina:
Boy did I miss on Chris Chandler last week at Denver. He was ghastly, completing only 9 of 22 passes for 128 yards and a TD (to WR Tim Dwight) before being lifted in the fourth quarter. He will bounce back with two TDs against a Panthers defense that is surrendering 265 yards a game through the air. In two games last year vs. Carolina, Chandler threw for 516 yards with six TDs and zero INTs. WR Terance Mathis had a big game at Carolina a year ago, catching nine passes for 98 yards and a score. Look for Chandler to find Mathis for a TD on Sunday. RB Jamal Anderson hasn't had a great game yet, but this will be his week since the Panthers also struggle stopping the run (128.5 yards a game). He will approach 90 yards with a score. The Falcons have finally realized they need to get Dwight more involved. Last week, he touched the ball 13 times (nine returns, two receptions and two rushes) and compiled 264 total yards with a TD. WR Shawn Jefferson was invisible last week (two catches for 37 yards) and isn't consistent enough to rely on.

As long as QB Steve Beuerlein stays healthy, he's a must play every week. He's in complete control of this offense and has thrown four TDs in the first two games. Last year, he threw for 518 yards with three TDs and three INTs vs. the Falcons. The Falcons' defense is terrible (251 yards allowed vs. the pass, 122 vs. the run), so Beuerlein will have a big day throwing to Muhsin Muhammad, Donald Hayes and Wesley Walls. Muhammad has a finger injury but expects to play. RB Tim Biakabutuka ran for 94 yards and a score in the home win over Atlanta last year and will top 85 yards on Sunday. Play your Panthers without hesitation this week as they will knock off the Falcons.

GREEN LIGHT: Chris Chandler, Jamal Anderson, Terance Mathis, Morten Andersen, Steve Beuerlein, Tim Biakabutuka, Muhsin Muhammad, Donald Hayes, Wesley Walls. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Tim Dwight, Richie Cunningham.
RED LIGHT: Shawn Jefferson, Reggie Kelly, Natrone Means.

Buffalo at NY Jets:
Rob Johnson torched the Packers for 259 yards and three TDs last week but got sacked five times. If the Bills don't improve their pass protection, he's going to get killed. So if you have Johnson, hopefully you have a good backup plan because you'll probably need it. He didn't play against the Jets last year as Doug Flutie was held to one TD pass in two games. Don't expect a huge game vs. the Jets' pass defense (171 yards a game), but Johnson will be good for at least one TD. He'll try to feature WR Eric Moulds, but the Jets will want to take him away, creating chances for WR Peerless Price and TE Jay Riemersma to make plays. Riemersma caught two TDs last week and is worth a look against a defense that gave up six catches and a TD to TE Eric Bjornson last Monday night. Avoid Buffalo's pathetic running game. Neither Antowain Smith nor Shawn Bryson have shown anything and will not generate much vs. the Jets (81 rushing yards a game).

Maybe the Jets don't need Keyshawn Johnson after all. Wayne Chrebet caught two TDs last Monday night and Dedric Ward has posted back-to-back 100-yard games. The Bills, though, have a strong pass defense (176.5 yards a game) and will make things tougher on Testaverde. It would help if RB Curtis Martin had a big day, but the Bills held him to 109 yards in two games last year and are giving up just 46.5 rushing yards a game so far. The Jets also are having problems with their kicking game and rumors out of New York suggest John Hall's job is in danger. All this means Testaverde will have to win this low-scoring game. He'll have to earn his two TD passes, but he'll get them as the Jets win a nail-biter at home.

GREEN LIGHT: Steve Christie. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Rob Johnson, Eric Moulds, Peerless Price, Jay Riemersma, Vinny Testaverde, Curtis Martin, Wayne Chrebet, Dedric Ward. 
RED LIGHT: Antowain Smith, Shawn Bryson, Jonathan Linton, Vincent Brisby, Fred Baxter, Anthony Becht, John Hall.

Cincinnati at Jacksonville: 
Someday, Akili Smith might be a really good NFL quarterback. But that day is a long ways off. He was a putrid 15-of-43 for 250 yards with one TD and two INTs last week. AGAINST THE BROWNS. Unbelievable. Think he'll fare better against a Jacksonville defense that's angry after being lit up by Tony Banks? Yeah, right. WR Peter Warrick had a so-so NFL debut (three catches for 80 yards) but even with Smith's shortcomings, he's a decent No. 3 fantasy WR - especially in yardage leagues. WR Ron Dugans caught Smith's TD last week but had only two catches and can't be recommended at this time. Corey Dillon was held to 32 yards in his only game vs. Jacksonville last year and isn't a good play this week against a defense allowing just 92.5 rushing yards a game.

Mark Brunell has passed for 687 yards in two games with four TDs. He'll feast on Cincinnati's suspect pass defense (249 yards a game). WR Jimmy Smith had two big games vs. the Bengals last year, catching 14 passes for 165 yards. Coming off his jaw-dropping 291-yard game a week ago, he's an obvious start every week. This guy has quietly become one of the top five WRs in the game today and he just may be the best. RB Fred Taylor isn't expected back yet so Stacey Mack will get back in the starting lineup after Chris Howard was waived on Wednesday after fumbling twice last week. The Bengals give up 105 rushing yards a game, so Mack is worth a look in a game that will turn into a Jacksonville rout quickly.

GREEN LIGHT: Mark Brunell, Jimmy Smith, Mike Hollis. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Peter Warrick, Stacey Mack, Keenan McCardell, Kyle Brady. 
RED LIGHT: Akili Smith, Corey Dillon, Ron Dugans, Tony McGee, Neil Rackers, Fred Taylor (injured).

Denver at Oakland:
RB Mike Anderson was the big star last week with 132 yards and 2 TDs, but Terrell Davis will return on Sunday. The Raiders will pose a challenge since they allow just 93.5 rushing yards a game. They held Olandis Gary to 64 yards in a home loss to Denver last year. I'm not as confident in their ability to stop Brian Griese, however. Griese has thrown for 575 yards and five TDs in the first two games and should have a good day against an Oakland defense giving up 265 passing yards a game. If WR Ed McCaffrey is healthy, he's a good play since he topped 80 yards in both games vs. the Raiders last year. WR Rod Smith had two decent games, catching 14 passes for 145 yards. They'll account for one TD with another going to Duane Carswell, who's emerging as the leader in the three-headed TE situation.

The Broncos are even stingier against the run (63.5 yards a game), so Tyrone Wheatley will have a long day. He gained just 83 yards in the two games vs. Denver last year. Look for other options if you can. QB Rich Gannon had some success against the Broncos a year ago, throwing for 470 yards and three TDs. He'll try to get WR Tim Brown more involved (nine catches for 107 yards and zero TDs) and although the Broncos defended Brown well last year (9 for 97 with zero TDs), I think he'll find the end zone for the first time. WRs James Jett and Andre Rison aren't worth playing until they show more consistency. Oh, and somebody put out an APB for TE Rickey Dudley (four catches for 40 yards in the first two games). He'll be MIA again this week working against LB Bill Romonowski as the Broncos pull off a mild upset on the road.

GREEN LIGHT: Brian Griese, Rich Gannon. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Terrell Davis, Ed McCaffrey, Rod Smith, Duane Carswell, Joe Nedney, Tim Brown, Sebastian Janikowski. 
RED LIGHT: Mike Anderson, Robert Brooks, Byron Chamberlain, Desmond Clark, Jason Elam (injured), Tyrone Wheatley, Napoleon Kaufman, James Jett, Andre Rison, Rickey Dudley.

Minnesota at New England:
Daunte Culpepper has flashed his feet (three rushing TDs in the opener) and his arm (350 yards and a TD in Week 2) to lift the Vikings to wins. He's a guy you have to play every week -- even against a Patriots defense stinging after its late-game collapse to the Jets last Monday night. For 54 minutes, Vinny Testaverde had little success against the Patriots' pass defense (213.5 yards a game) and I think they'll be sharper for a bit longer this week. Still, you have to play Culpepper and WRs Randy Moss and Cris Carter. They're too good to sit. RB Robert Smith picked up 72 yards against Miami's good run defense and is worth a look in yardage leagues.

QB Drew Bledsoe continues to get roughed up (12 sacks in two games) and he's thrown only one TD. The Vikings, though, are vulnerable against the pass (Cade McNown got them for 290 yards in the opener), so this looks like the week for Bledsoe to bust out. Terry Glenn is a good matchup against Minnesota's shaky secondary that has allowed two WRs (Marcus Robinson and Tony Martin) to surpass 85 yards receiving in the first two games. Looking for a sleeper at RB this week? Kevin Faulk could be the guy after rushing for 82 yards against the Jets. The Vikings allow 101 rushing yards a game and it will be their defensive shortcomings that will help New England win at home.

GREEN LIGHT: Daunte Culpepper, Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Gary Anderson, Drew Bledsoe, Terry Glenn, Adam Vinatieri. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Robert Smith, Kevin Faulk, Eric Bjornson. 
RED LIGHT: Andrew Jordan, John Davis, Troy Brown, Tony Simmons.

New Orleans at Seattle:
It feels good when a player you're high on plays well. That's how I felt watching Jeff Blake go to San Diego and pass for 259 yards and three TDs (two to WR Joe Horn, another guy I was high on in the preseason). Blake will probably never win a Super Bowl, but he can be an extremely effective fantasy QB. He'll have a good day against the Seahawks, who have given up passing yards (256.5 a game) but not TDs (only one in the first two games, including none by Kurt Warner last week). Blake will throw at least two as he continues to form a strong bond with Horn, who caught three passes for 92 yards and a score at Seattle last year while with Kansas City. The Seahawks are dreadful against the run (139 yards a game), so this will be the week where RB Ricky Williams finally looks like a first-round draft choice.

QB Jon Kitna wasn't great last week (20 of 31 for 245 yards with one TD and two INTs), but he was good enough to keep his job for now. Whether he still has it after facing the No. 1 defense in the NFL (187.5 total yards a game) is another question. The Saints stuff the run (85 a game) and thwart the pass (102.5) so Kitna will struggle getting the offense generated. Despite scoring two goal-line TDs last week, Ricky Watters may lose the short-yardage RB role to rookie Shaun Alexander. Neither is worth a look against this run defense. One player worth considering is WR Darrell Jackson, who has moved past Derrick Mayes as a starter and caught two passes for 42 yards and a score last week. But it will be a rough day for the Seahawks as they fall to 0-3 and make Mike Holmgren even grumpier.

GREEN LIGHT: Jeff Blake, Ricky Williams, Joe Horn, Doug Brien. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Jake Reed, Darrell Jackson, Sean Dawkins, Kris Heppner. 
RED LIGHT: Willie Jackson, Andrew Glover, Jon Kitna, Ricky Watters, Shaun Alexander, Derrick Mayes, Christian Fauria, Ituli Mili.

NY Giants at Chicago:
The Giants have one of the more diversified offenses in the league. QB Kerry Collins has been efficient (38 of 54 for 392 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT) while Tiki Barber and Ron Dayne have run all over people (league-best 195 rushing yards a game). All three are excellent plays against a Chicago defense giving up 350.5 yards a game. Most of the Bears' defensive problems have come against the run (171 yards a game) so Barber and Dayne will be huge again. Both will score with Dayne notching his first 100-yard rushing game. Collins won't have to do a lot, but he'll throw TDs to Ike Hilliard and Amani Toomer.

The Bears won't get blanked too many times this year, so I haven't lost faith in their ability to be a fantasy producer after last week's drubbing by Tampa Bay. QB Cade McNown will bounce back against a defense that has given up three passing TDs in two games. He'll throw for two, one to Marcus Robinson and another to Bobby Engram. Chicago's biggest problem is Curtis Enis. He's rushed for a pathetic 38 yards in two games as James Allen (15 carries for 107 yards) continues to look better. If you can find a taker for Enis, do it now. That inability to run the ball will doom the Bears to a loss at home against the more well-rounded Giants.

GREEN LIGHT: Kerry Collins, Tiki Barber, Ron Dayne, Amani Toomer, Brad Daluiso, Cade McNown, Marcus Robinson. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Ike Hilliard, Bobby Engram, Marty Booker, Paul Edinger. 
RED LIGHT: Pete Mitchell, Curtis Enis, James Allen, Eddie Kennison, Alonzo Mayes, John Allred.

Philadelphia at Green Bay:
That pickle juice story was cute while it lasted. Oh well, the Eagles will have to find something else to get all excited about now after being stomped by the Giants. How about a matchup against Green Bay's suspect defense? The Packers played better defensively against the Bills last week, but still gave up three TD passes and 259 yards passing to Rob Johnson. Donovan McNabb isn't in Johnson's class, but he's produced in both weeks so far (two TD passes, two TD runs). He's been more comfortable throwing to his TEs (Jeff Thomason and Chad Lewis have caught his TD passes) and RB Duce Staley than his suspect WR corps. So look for a healthy dose of Staley (11 catches for 119 yards) out of the backfield and a decent game from Lewis. Staley will rebound running the ball after a horrible game last week (7 carries for 11 yards) and will get at least 80 yards vs. a run defense giving up 103.5 yards a game.

Brett Favre showed his heart and moxie last week, throwing for 269 yards and two TDs despite playing with elbow and thumb injuries. At one point, he completed 14 straight passes, looking much closer to his MVP self than the injury-riddled wreck he resembled in Week 1. He'll have a good day against a pass defense that gave up 220 yards and two TDs to Kerry Collins last week. WR Antonio Freeman (seven catches for 80 yards and two TDs last week) will have another good day, with at least one score. RB Dorsey Levens may play but it will only be sparingly. So if you have Ahman Green, this is a good week to play him. The Eagles had all sorts of problems with Tiki Barber's speed last week and Green will get at least 70 yards rushing and a TD as Green Bay improves to 1-2.

GREEN LIGHT: Duce Staley, David Akers, Brett Favre, Antonio Freeman, Ryan Longwell. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Donovan McNabb, Chad Lewis, Ahman Green (if Dorsey Levens doesn't play), Bill Schroeder. 
RED LIGHT: Charles Johnson, Torrance Small, Todd Pinkston, Jeff Thomason, Dorsey Levens (injured), Tyrone Davis, Bubba Franks.

Pittsburgh at Cleveland:
The Steelers return after a bye in Week 2 and still look terrible. You'd think they'd be excited to face the Browns but after Cleveland's win over the Bengals last week, that enthusiasm must be tempered. The Browns allowed just one TD to Akili Smith and picked him off twice and sacked him seven times. They'll be all over QB Kent Graham on Sunday. Don't expect him to throw more than one TD. The Browns have also done a decent job against the run (119 yards to Jacksonville in Week 1 and 111 last week) but Jerome Bettis (188 yards) and Richard Huntley (four TDs) were very effective against them last year so they're worth a start.

Like Brett Favre, Tim Couch shook off an elbow injury and played well last week, throwing for 259 yards and two TDs. In a late-season game at Pittsburgh last year, he threw for only 199 yards but did get two TDs (one to WR Kevin Johnson). Look for that combination to hook up again on Sunday. Dawson's injury means Darrin Chiaverini steps into the starting role but David Patten and Dennis Northcutt will also vie for time. Until a clear-cut No. 2 emerges, Johnson is the only fantasy WR worth starting. RB Errict Rhett remains the starter, but Travis Prentice got some carries last week and made the most of them (eight for 46 yards with a TD). He also was called on in the red zone and will find the end zone again this week as Cleveland wins at home.

GREEN LIGHT: Tim Couch, Kevin Johnson. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Kent Graham, Jerome Bettis, Richard Huntley, Plaxico Burress, Kris Brown, Errict Rhett, Travis Prentice, Darrin Chiaverini, Phil Dawson. 
RED LIGHT: Troy Edwards, Bobby Shaw, Mark Breuner, David Patten, Dennis Northcutt, Aaron Shea, Mark Campbell.

San Diego at Kansas City:
Ryan Leaf still has problems throwing to the right people. In two games, he's tossed one TD and five INTs. If he continues to falter, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Moses Moreno get a look. It's hard to like Leaf this week at Kansas City. Although the Chiefs are giving up 249.5 passing yards a game, they've faced Peyton Manning and the combination of Steve McNair and Neil O'Donnell. Leaf has a ways to go to even get to O'Donnell's level, so he'll be kept out of the end zone again. RB Robert Chancey wasn't bad last week (15 carries for 59 yards with a TD) and could get a short-yardage score this week against a defense that will be thrilled it's not facing Edgerrin James and Eddie George. However, a better bet is that K John Carney will do most of the scoring.

Elvis Grbac threw for two TDs in a 34-0 win at home over the Chargers last year. He'll be good for two this week, with one going to rookie WR Sylvester Morris, who is off to a decent start (six catches for 101 yards in two games). WR Derrick Alexander has caught TDs in each of the first two games, making him a sure bet to be kept out of the end zone this week given his inconsistent reputation. TE Tony Gonzalez has been smothered by double-teams and will face a similar strategy this week by a defense that held him to one catch for four yards at Kansas City last year. It's doubtful you have a better TE than Gonzalez, so you have to play him and hope for the best. Do not under any circumstances play a Chiefs RB. Donnell Bennett is still hurt, Tony Richardson is at FB and Mike Cloud and Frank Moreau did nothing last week (14 combined carries for 14 yards). Keep an eye on K Pete Stoyanovich, who's on a short lease after missing a chip-shot FB last week. His job security is slipping. Instead, it will be Grbac who will do just enough to lead the Chiefs to the win.

GREEN LIGHT: John Carney. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Robert Chancey, Freddie Jones, Elvis Grbac, Sylvester Morris, Tony Gonzalez. 
RED LIGHT: Ryan Leaf, Curtis Conway, Jeff Graham, Travis Gaylor, Tony Richardson, Donnell Bennett, Mike Cloud, Frank Moreau, Derrick Alexander, Pete Stoyanovich.

San Francisco at St. Louis:
Steve Mariucci briefly toyed with benching Jeff Garcia in favor of Rick Mirer but he apparently watched some of Mirer's career "highlights" and realized he couldn't be that desperate. Then again, Garcia is coming off a poor game vs. Carolina (12 of 20 for 181 yards, one INT and zero TDs) so he could grab some pine time if he struggles early. Some might think Garcia will have success against a Rams' defense that is allowing 256.5 passing yards a game. I think the Rams are due for a better defensive outing. They did not allow a TD pass against the 49ers last year and will snuff out Garcia, holding him to one. WR Terrell Owens fared pretty well vs. the Rams last year (12 catches for 180 yards, 0 TDs in two games) and will catch a TD this week. RB Charlie Garner will do more damage as a receiver than a runner.

Kurt Warner is on pace to throw for 6,616 yards this year. That's right, 6,616. The guy is just amazing. He threw for 323 yards in one game vs. San Francisco last year and 524 overall with six TDs (five in the first meeting). He'll throw at least three this week with two going to Isaac Bruce, who's been a bit quiet so far (10 catches for 157 yards, 0 TDs) and one to Marshall Faulk, who will also get one on the ground en route to a 100-yard rushing day. Don't be surprised if Warner throws a fourth TD to Torry Holt. It's going to be that kind of day as the Rams crush the hapless 49ers.

GREEN LIGHT: Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Jeff Wilkins. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Charlie Garner, Fred Beasley, Terrell Owens, Wade Richey, Robert Holcombe, Az Hakim, Roland Williams. 
RED LIGHT: Jeff Garcia, Terry Jackson, Jerry Rice, J.J. Stokes, Greg Clark.

Tampa Bay at Detroit:
This one could be a defensive struggle. The Bucs lost 20-3 at Detroit last year as they were held to 72 yards rushing and QB Eric Zeier had to throw 44 times. That won't happen on Sunday. Instead, Mike Alstott will churn out 60 tough yards and QB Shaun King will throw one TD to WR Jacquez Green (seven catches for 96 yards at Detroit last year) as the Lions converge on Keyshawn Johnson. But it will be Martin Gramatica's leg that will do the most damage as he connects for three field goals.

The Lions are 2-0 and haven't scored an offensive touchdown yet. Now they get to face the Bucs, who are allowing just 221.5 yards a game and have given up just one offensive TD. QB Charlie Batch was rusty last week, throwing two INTs in his first game of the season and managed just 128 passing yards in the game at the Silverdome last year. He'll be lucky to reach 200 on Sunday, although he will throw a TD to WR Johnnie Morton. RB James Stewart hasn't looked too special in the first two games (143 yards, 0 TDs) and won't have much luck this week either. The best Lion to have this week is Jason Hanson, but he'll lose the FG battle to Martin Gramatica and the Lions will lose the war to the Bucs at home.

GREEN LIGHT: Martin Gramatica, Jason Hanson. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Mike Alstott, Jacquez Green, Johnnie Morton. 
RED LIGHT: Shaun King, Warrick Dunn, Keyshawn Johnson, Reidel Anthony, Dave Moore, Charlie Batch, Germane Crowell, Herman Moore, David Sloan.

Baltimore at Miami (Sunday Night):
Tony Banks is for real. After throwing 15 TDs in his last seven games a year ago, he's thrown six so far this year, including five a week ago in the win over Jacksonville. He's become a must start against any defense, even one as stingy as Miami's (one passing TD allowed in two games). Banks will get at least 230 yards passing and two TDs this week. With Qadry Ismail out 1-2 weeks with a knee injury, look for rookie Travis Taylor (four catches for 80 yards and two TDs last week) to do an excellent job as the go-to WR. TE Shannon Sharpe got more involved last week (three catches for 50 yards and a TD) and will fare well on Sunday. The Dolphins are usually tough to run on so don't expect anything of substance from Priest Holmes or Jamal Lewis.

OK, Lamar Smith, see if I believe in you again. After running roughshod over Seattle in the opener I had high hopes for you against a pedestrian Vikings defense last week. So what did you do? You gained a paltry 27 yards on 11 carries. This week, you're facing a Baltimore defense that gives up a miniscule 38 rushing yards a game. Time to hit the fantasy bench for you my friend. The entire Dolphins offense will have a tough time -- especially with star WR Tony Martin doubtful with a foot sprain. QB Jay Fiedler has thrown one TD in each of the first two games and won't get more than one this week -- probably to WR Oronde Gadsden. If you want a Dolphin this week, take K Olindo Mare and avoid everyone else since Miami will lose at home, ruining Dan Marino's retirement ceremony.

GREEN LIGHT: Tony Banks, Travis Taylor, Shannon Sharpe, Matt Stover, Olindo Mare. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Jermaine Lewis, Oronde Gadsden. 
RED LIGHT: Priest Holmes, Jamal Lewis, Qadry Ismail (injured), Patrick Johnson, Ben Coates, Jay Fiedler, Lamar Smith, Tony Martin (injured, may not play), Bert Emanuel, Leslie Shepherd, Hunter Goodwin.

Dallas at Washington (Monday Night):
Troy Aikman is expected to return, but if he cannot play, Randall Cunningham showed last week (three TDs) he is more than capable of stepping in. In the season opener at Washington last year, Aikman threw for 362 yards and five TDs in a Dallas win. He followed that up with 244 yards and two TDs in the home win over the Redskins later in the year. It'll be much tougher against a defense that has an angry Deion Sanders who is looking to shine in Primetime against his former team. Don't expect more than two passing TDs from Aikman or Cunningham. WR Raghib Ismail scalded the Redskins for 14 catches and 225 yards and two TDs last year but Deion and Co. will take him and James McKnight out of the picture, making TE Jackie Harris a worthwhile starter this week. The Redskins have been tough against the run (87 yards a game) and that won't help Emmitt Smith shake off his slow start (88 yards, 0 TDs).

After throwing four INTs last week, three in the fourth quarter, Brad Johnson needs a strong game or the Jeff George watch will begin in earnest. He'll have that strong game Monday night. He threw four TDs against the Cowboys last year and will establish a strong connection with his new go-to WR Albert Connell (six catches for 189 yards and two TDs vs. Dallas last year). Irving Fryar will replace Westbrook and is worth a look in yardage leagues. James Thrasher and Andre Reed will battle to be the No. 3 WR. Thrasher has intriguing potential but neither is worthy of fantasy consideration at this time. RB Stephen Davis obviously is and he'll be large this week. He ran for 171 yards and two TDs against Dallas last year and will get at least 115 yards and two TDs as the Redskins knock off Dallas.

GREEN LIGHT: Tim Seder, Brad Johnson, Stephen Davis, Albert Connell, Brett Conway. 
YELLOW LIGHT: Troy Aikman, Randall Cunningham (if Aikman doesn't play), Emmitt Smith, Raghib Ismail, Jackie Harris, Irving Fryar.
RED LIGHT: Chris Warren, James McKnight, David LaFleur, Andre Reed, James Thrasher, Stephen Alexander.
