Texans should score big in Fantasy Football

For the second straight week the Texans will host a winless team, this time its the Bengals. What that means for is their skill position players should be primed for another solid week.

After missing the Colts game with an illness, Matt Schaub bounced back with 2 sellar outings and the party should continue this week. But he's not the only Texan you should think about starting.

Running Backs
-----------
1) Steve Slaton Texans (Cincinnati @ Houston)
The rookie from West Virginia was quite a find for the Texans. Last week vs the Lions he ran 17 times for 80 yards and a touchdown. This week vs the winless Bengals Slaton should go over a 100 yards and find the endzone twice.

2) Thomas Jones Jets (Kansas City @ N.Y. Jets)
With Brett Farve struggling look for the Jets to place a bigger load on Thomas Jones. Jones seems to be hitting his stride and this week he faces the Chiefs defense. I would not be suprised if Jones topped 150 yards with a couple of scores .

3) Deuce McAllister Saints (San Diego @ New Orleans)
The schedule reads at New Orleans but the game is really being played in London. The Saints have not bee a good road team but I still like Deuce. Reggie Bush had knee surgery on Monday and won't make the trip. This will be the
first really test for McAllister since coming back from knee surgery.

Wide Outs
-------------------
1) Andre Johnson Texans (Cincinnati @ Houston)
If you're playing in a points league and can choose any player you cannot pass on Andre Johnson. The last 2 weeks Johnson has bee sizzling making 21 catches for 319 yards and 1 touchdown. Keep in mind he has the winless Bengals coming to town.

2) Kevin Curtis Eagles (Atlanta @ Philadelphia)
Donovan McNabb is always looking for a go to receiver and Kevin Curtis might fit the bill. Curtis will see his first action of the season returning from a sports hernia injury. Last season Curtis and McNabb just seem to click.


Quarterbacks
-----------
1) Matt Schaub Texans (Cincinnat @ Houston)
I liked him last week and nothing has changed. Schaub will be facing the winless Bengals and should equal his 267 yards passing and 2 touchdowns from a week ago.

2) Trent Edwards Bills (Buffalo @ Miami)
Edwards looked really sharp last week passing for 261 yards while completing 25 of 30 passes. Expect him to do more of the same vs the Dolphins.
