(Collie is a hot target that is likely still available.) Week five was a huge week for receivers, as several formerly back-up receivers got a shot at major action and never looked back. After we saw guys like Mike Sims-Walker and Steve Smith step up in huge ways last week, it was nice to see more young receivers step out of the shadow of their respective teammates.You can talk about Roddy ...

(Do you think he's ready to face his former team?) Last week's Start/Sit column brought you a mediocre 7-8 record out of five starts, five sits, and five sleepers. But Week Six offers much more promise. Take a look for yourself and see if you don't find yourself in agreement.As always, mind your bye week players, keep on top of injuries, and be aware of each player's role on their ...

(He's back! Hooray?) á Dallas Says Miles Austin's Role Will Increase I sure hope so. Austin nearly topped Roy Williams' numbers for the season with 10 catches for 250 yards and two touchdowns. It's evident now that Austin is ready to start, which means someone's role will be hacked into. Williams should be healthy after the Cowboys' Week Six bye, but there's no certainty for him or Patrick Crayton in this offense. á Calvin Johnson's Knee ...

(Their uniforms may be ugly, but they're still 5-0.) We learn something new every weekùand quite frankly, as entertaining and enlightening as it has become, I'm almost sick of saying it. It's like we're back in the second grade. Everything is new, evolving, bright, and shining. The simplest of things can send us into awe these days, like the Eagles dominating the lowly Buccaneers, the Panthers actually winning a game, and Derek ...

(Can Carson Palmer help the Bengals slide past Baltimore for first place?) After getting the unbelievable chance to watch the legendary Brett Favre defeat his old team, and send his former bosses and back-up quarterback to the depths of mediocrity, Week Five has a lot to live-up to.And quite frankly, it will be damn near impossible.Even before the Vikings handed the Packers an emotional loss, the Patriots and Ravens gave us ...

(McNabb should be raising his arms plenty this week.) Sick of the regular start and sit columns that pick five random guys to take a chance on, and then five other guys who you shouldn't? Yeah, me neither. But still, sometimes fantasy owners need a bit more information than a lousy 100-player board ranking, a start and sit column, or an injury report.This player breakdown takes a look at every NFL ...

(Is Hasselbeck a good play against Jacksonville?) Eli Manning Participates in Saturday PracticeThis just means he would probably play if he absolutely had to. But since the rush attack is operating smoothly, the defense is competing at an elite level, and they're facing the Oakland Raiders, there isn't much sense in rushing Manning back.Still, he wants to play, and is likely going to be a game-time decision. Regardless of his status, ...

Matt Hasselbeck Likely to Start in Week Five Hasselbeck returned to full practice and didn't have any major problems. He reportedly looked good and is expected to start against Jacksonville's very beatable secondary. While this news is up-lifting, he's still a major risk, considering he failed to make it through his last start. The upside is there against a weak pass defense, but Seattle is likely to try to get Julius ...

(Could Romo finally play up to his draft value?) Last week brought us one step closer to fantasy enlightenment, with Week Five potentially closing the door on several would-be star players, while also possible opening the doors on supposed "duds."Pay attention to bye weeks, severe matchups, and consider the ramifications for both the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns in regards to Braylon Edwards getting shipped off to New ...
