49ers: Putting up 321 yards on the road against a perennial playoff club is a buy sign for J.T. O'Sullivan. With Bryant Johnson and Isaac Bruce on the flanks and Frank Gore keeping defenses honest, O'Sullivan has just enough weapons to work Mike Martz's magic. If you thought Matt Cassel was the answer to your Tom Brady problem last week, it's time to reconsider. See if you can get O'Sullivan ...
Two other things we've learned about Martz teams in the past seem to have followed him to San Francisco: 1) His tight end is useless. Bench Vernon Davis; and 2) His passing attack is far more effective between the 20s than in the red zone, so his kicker tends to be busy. If you've got Joe Nedney, start him.
Seahawks: The Seahawks are in big trouble until Deion Branch and Bobby Engram return from their injuries. They should combine with impressive rookie tight end John Carlson to make Matt Hasselbeck a fantasy option again down the line. But until then, bench all aspects of the Seattle passing game ...
Speaking of Branch, is he by chance available in your league? He's back at practice and might return this week. This is no time to rush him into your lineup, but picking him up would be a nice long-term investment ...
And before you get carried away with Julius Jones' big numbers, remembers it was against a Martz team (much offense, little defense). The good news is: There are still six games remaining against the Rams (this week's opponent), 49ers, Cardinals and Dolphins. Other than that, sit him.
