Patriots: Even with an encouraging matchup like Miami this week, it's probably wise to sit back and watch what the Pats do with their running game. Don't necessarily dismiss Laurence Maroney simply because LaMont Jordan had more carries last week. Maroney missed half the game with a minor injury. If I had to pick one Pat back to put in the lineup this week, it would still have to be Maroney ...
It's clear Matt Cassel is not the answer to your problems if you lost Tom Brady, but that doesn't mean the new Pats quarterback isn't fantasy-worthy. If there's ever a time to give him a confidence boost, it's at home against the Dolphins. I expect at least two TD passes to Randy Moss alone this week, so feel free to start Cassel if you don't have a top-flight guy ...
The Pats might have lost a star, but they seem to have gained one in the process. Stephen Gostkowski (four field goals last week) will get an opportunity to kick a lot more field goals without all those Brady touchdown passes. Don't be surprised if he's fantasy's top kicker by year's end.
Jets: OK, so the Jets can't compete with the Patriots in Week 2 of the Brett Favre era. It's early. We all knew this was a work in progress. Once Favre starts clicking with Laveranues Coles, the rest of the pieces should fall into place. If you can get Coles cheaply after two lackluster performances, do it ...
It was nice to see Thomas Jones have a decent day (17 carries, 70 yards) against the Patriots. Most of the Jets' opponents -- including this week's at San Diego -- are going to be a lot more giving than the Pats. Jones should be your No. 2 back on most weeks.
