His yardage numbers should = be respectable, and he may catch a TD pass. Jerome Bettis , RB PIT - El-Ga= to Updated 11/21/01 The loss of tight end Mark Bruener could have an advers= e impact on Bettis' output over the final weeks of the season, but you stil= l need to start him every week in your league. Bettis is likely to struggle= against a de! ce! nt Titans rush defense on Sunday, but he'll still give y= ou serviceable stats and may even find the end zone. Curtis Conway , WR SD= - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Expect a big game from Conway in Week 11. Th= e Arizona pass defense has been very soft all year long. Kordell Stewart ,= QB PIT - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 While the Steelers' passing game has = improved in recent weeks, Stewart is still far too inconsistent to merit us= ing on a weekly basis. He faces a weak Tennessee secondary on Sunday, which= is a good matchup, but only use him if you're desperate for a starter in y= our league. Darrell Jackson , WR SEA - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Jackson= should play very well at Kansas City this week. Seattle will use their pas= sing game early on to open up running lanes for Shaun Alexander, and Jackso= n will be a key receiver for Matt Hasselbeck. Tim Brown , WR OAK - Tacos U= pdated 11/21/01 Raiders QB Rich Gannon should have plenty of time to locate= Brown downfield in their game against the Giants on Sunday. Definitely get= Brown into your active lineup this week. Charlie Garner , RB OAK - Perrit= o-style Updated 11/21/01 Don't expect Garner to put up good stats against t= he Giants on Sunday. Tyrone Wheatley has returned from an injury and New Yo= rk is tough on the run. Only use Garner if you don't have another alternati= ve on your roster. David Patten , WR NE - R-Diddy Updated 11/21/01 Patten = and the Patriots go up against the Saints on Sunday. While he has been inco= nsistent all year long, this is a favorable matchup for the wideout. Patten= could beat Fred Thomas downfield for a score, and you should consider usin= g him as your No. 2 or 3 receiver. Troy Brown , WR NE - God Updated 11/21/= 01 Brown has been a very reliable receiver for his owners this season, and = has only gotten better since Tom Brady has been throwing him the ball. Expe= ct another solid week for Brown against a mediocre Saints secondary. Antow= ain Smith , RB NE - Starboy Updated 11/21/01 Smith has been a pleasant surp= rise for his Fantasy owners this season. He'll go up against a subpar Saint= s rush defense on Sunday, and we recommend you get him into your active lin= eup as a result. Oronde Gadsden , WR MIA - Starboy Updated 11/21/01 Gadsde= n has been very inconsistent this season, and we don't recommend you use hi= m this week against the Bills. Let him prove himself before you consider pu= tting him back into your active lineup the remainder of the season. James = McKnight , WR MIA - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 ! There is a possibility Mc= Knight could beat the Bills downfield for a few long passes on Sunday. Howe= ver, he is only worth using in very deep leagues. Travis Minor , RB MIA - = Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 The Dolphins may use Minor a fair amount Sunday= against Buffalo to keep the defense honest. He could be worth using in a d= eep league since the Bills have been weak against the run all season. Tony= Gonzalez , TE KC - Beegs Boys Updated 11/21/01 Gonzalez will rack up good = Fantasy stats Sunday against the Seahawks. While he has been somewh! at! of= a disappointment, you need to keep him active every week. Stephen Davis ,= RB WAS - Oper Error Updated 11/21/01 Davis rushed for 84 yards against Den= ver last week, and was held out of the end zone once again. He may struggle= against Philadelphia in Week 11, but you may have no choice but to start h= im considering the lack of running back depth around the league. Larry Pa= rker , WR KC - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Parker could get a touchdown pas= s Sunday against Seattle, as the Seahawks' secondary has regularly been bur= ned by teams' second wideout options. He might make a good No. 3 receiver f= or this week. Tony Richardson , RB KC - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Richar= dson has fallen into a goal-line back role in recent games, and there's a c= hance he'll get a score against the Seahawks on Sunday. Kansas City should = move the ball with relative ease, and if you are in a deep league or a touc= hdown-only league, he might be worth putting in your lineup. Priest Holmes= , RB KC - R-Diddy Updated 11/21/01The Chiefs will use many plays to keep t= he Seahawks off balance on Sunday, which should help Holmes roll up some ve= ry good stats this week. We recommend you get him into your active lineup d= espite his struggles against the Jets in Week Nine. Trent Green , QB KC - = Starboy Updated 11/21/01 Green and the Chiefs slumped badly before their by= e week, but should rebound Sunday against Seattle. Expect him to post decen= t stats against this questionable secondary, but don't rush to start him ov= er a less mistake-prone quarterback. Stephen Alexander , TE WAS - Perrito!= -s! tyle Updated 11/21/01 According to the Washington Post, Alexander will= be back in the starting lineup on Sunday against Philadelphia. He had been= inconsistent prior to suffering an ankle injury, so starting him is somewh= at of a gamble. Kyle Brady , TE JAC - El-Gato Updated 11/21/01 Brady hasn= 't offered useful Fantasy stats much this season. We don't recommend you us= e him this week against the Ravens, as it is unlikely this is the game he w= ill break his slump. Rod Gardner , WR WAS - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Ga= rdner has been held down in three consecutive weeks, and is having some tro= uble holding onto the ball recently. He'll face a tough Philadelphia second= ary on Sunday, making him a risky start from a Fantasy perspective. Keena= n McCardell , WR JAC - Beegs Boys Updated 11/21/01 McCardell matches up wit= h Duane Starks in Sunday's game against Baltimore, and that, combined with = the possibility of Jonathan Quinn starting at quarterback, makes him a risk= y start. McCardell has the talent to beat Starks for a few good catches, bu= t you shouldn't be counting on him for explosive stats. Jimmy ! Sm! ith ,= WR JAC - R-Diddy Updated 11/21/01 Despite Jonathan Quinn likely playing hi= s second straight game, you have to keep a guy like Smith active in any wee= k in your league. He might have less impressive stats, but Smith is still t= alented enough to catch more passes than most receivers in the league. Elv= is Joseph , RB JAC - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 There's a chance Joseph co= uld break off some long runs despite his facing the Ravens' defense on Sund= ay. However, we only recommend you use him this week if you have no other o= ptions at running back. M! arcus Pollard , TE IND - Free Agent Updated 11/= 21/01 Pollard will have his hands full trying to escape San Francisco's Lan= ce Schulters on Sunday. While Pollard has been a very reliable Fantasy tigh= t end in recent weeks, you shouldn't expect great stats this week. However,= you should probably start him unless you have a good alternative. Terrenc= e Wilkins , WR IND - Free Agent Updated 11/21/01 Wilkins is likely to start= in place of the injured Reggie Wayne Sunday against San Francisco. While W= ilkins could get some passes thrown his way and post decent stats against a= so-so Niners secondary, we only recommend you use him if you have no other= options at wide receiver. Marvin Harrison , WR IND - Perrito-style Updated= 11/21/01 Harrison is a must-start in any Fantasy league regardless of oppo= nent. However, he should have no problem beating San Francisco CB Ahmed Plu= mmer downfield for great stats this week. Dominic Rhodes , RB IND - Beegs = Boys Updated 11/21/01 Rhodes has a good matchup in Indianapolis on Sunday, = and you should definitely start him this week. He may not post Edgerrin Jam= es-like stats, but should give good rushing totals and a score. Desmond Cl= ark , TE DEN - Oper Error Updated 11/21/01 Clark has been getting more pass= es thrown his way than Dwayne Carswell in recent weeks, and he will be a ke= y member of the Broncos' passing game Thursday against Dallas. While the Co= wboys will likely be ready to defend these two tight ends, if you need to s= tart one it should definitely be Clark.
