BUCCANEERS

On the surface, you'd like to believe there's no way the Buccaneers are going to throw 50 passes a game. But then again, why not? Josh Johnson seems to be a decent quarterback, and if the Bucs want to keep tempermental Antonio Bryant and Kellen Winslow happy, they'll need to air it out big-time. I think Johnson, who is going to put up nice rushing numbers if he keeps starting, is worth a fantasy roster spot.

EAGLES

Coming off a bye week, you'd have expected more from Brian Westbrook in Sunday's win. Maybe that has prompted his fantasy owner to sour on him? If so, I'd make an offer right now. The way the Eagles are scoring points, Westbrook can't help but rank among the top-scoring backs. As long as he can stay healthy, that is. Oh, you might remind Westbrook's owner that he's ALWAYS getting hurt.
