Saints: There's no doubt Drew Brees' stock takes a bit of a hit with Marques Colston out of the lineup. He remains a must-start, but he's no longer the franchise-maker he appeared to be in Week 1. Then again, he was probably drafted in Round 3 or later, so hopefully your top two picks can carry you while Brees merely plays his part and waits for Colston to return ...
For those who wanted to wait a week before inserting him into the lineup, David Patten's five-catch, 55-yard effort against a pretty good Redskins secondary was encouraging. Get him in there this week at Denver ...
Touchdown-scoring Pierre Thomas has relegated Deuce McAllister to waiver-wire material in the fantasy game, but he really shouldn't impact Reggie Bush much. With just 28 rushing yards last week, Bush still proved plenty fantasy-worthy with 63 receiving yards and a touchdown on a punt return.
Redskins: The better the Redskins pass the ball, the more productive Clinton Portis will be even though he plays almost no role in the passing game. Need proof? Check out last week's numbers: In a game where Jason Campbell passed for 321 yards and Santana Moss scored two touchdowns, Portis still found time for 21 carries, 96 yards and two scores. The Redskins' new look suits him well ...
The 321-yard effort is a sign Campbell deserves a spot on fantasy rosters as a backup. If you're looking to make a deal, see if you can get him included as a throw-in. He's nice to have in the lineup when teams like the Saints come to down, and you know you can count on him for a consistent effort if your starter ever is out of action or questionable because of an injury.
