Terrell Owens you have a problem. You think you're a star, and after your appearence on Letterman it pains me to say you are. T.O. got rave reviews for his top ten, but will he be in the top 10 among receivers in week 11.
I think the Cowboys want to prove to the Redskins and the league "They're Back". With Romo back in the saddle again T.O. is an attractive options. But a vote for Owens means you are rolling the dice that Tony Romo can take a licking and keep on ticking injuried pinkie and all. It might be better to wait and see, but Owens is too good to sit. So cross your fingers and hope Romo is really healthy.
Meanwhile, this weekend the matchups are really good for several fantasy standouts.
Quarterbacks
------------------------
1) Kurt Warner Cardinals (Arizona @ Seattle)
So far Warner has played like a league M.V.P. He's facing a weak Seattle defense so you do the math. On Monday night Warner passed for 328 yards and 3 touchdowns as the Cardinals nipped the Niners. The best hope for the Seahawks is to pray for rain to slow down the Arizona passing attack.
2) Donavon McNabb Eagles (Philadelphia @ Cincinnati)
McNabb passed for only194 yards, but he had 3 touchdown tosses against a tough Giants defense. The Bengals aren't nearly as tough.
3) Matt Ryan Falcons (Denver @ Atlanta) Tyler Thigpen Chiefs ( N.O. @ K.C.)
Matt Ryan has been solid all season, and this week he faces a Denver secondary that couldn't cover a receiver with a blanket. Brady Quinn lit them up in his first start, so I'm looking for at least 2 td passes and 250 yards from Ryan. Thigpen is a pick I really like. Last week he burned the Chargers for 266 yards and 3 touchdowns. The San Diego Secondary is a lot better than the Saints.
Running Back
----------------
1) Michael Turner Falcons (Denver @ Atl.)
The Saints did a decent job on Turner last week and he still rushed for 96 yards and a touchdown. Don't expect the Broncos to do that well. I'm looking for at least 130 yards and 2 touchdowns.
2) Frank Gore 49ers (St. Louis @ S.F.)
The Rams are ranked 30th against the run, so don't be suprised if Gore scores 3 times.
3) DeAngelo Williams Panthers (Det. @ Carolina)
Williams ran for 140 yards and a touchdown vs the Raiders, look for more of the same vs the Lions.
Wide Receivers
-----------------
1) Anquan Boldin & Larry Fitzgerald Cardinals (Az. @ Seattle)
Warner has been great this season thanks to targets like Boldin and Fitzgerald. On Monday night they combined for 118 yards and 3 touchdowns. Expect more yards vs the Seahawks.
2) Muhsin Muhammad Panthers (Det. @ Carolina)
Jake Delhomme was horrible last week vs the Raiders tossing 4 interceptions. You can count on him bouncing back this week vs the Lions, and that should work out great for Muhammad and Steve Smith.
3) Roddy White Falcons (Denver @ Atlanta)
The Broncos have already allowed 14 td passes this season, look for White to add 2 more to that total.
