Week 5 Rankings
Quarterbacks
1. Peyton Manning vs. Bucs. The gap narrows between 1 and 2.
2. Tom Brady vs. Browns. I think they might run more.
3. Tony Romo vs. Bills. Fun to watch on 'MNF.'
4. Brett Favre vs. Bears. Is he for real?
5. Matt Hasselbeck vs. Steelers. Lots of passing here.
6. Vince Young vs. Falcons. Those rushing yards count, too.
7. Jon Kitna vs. Redskins. Not feeling it this week for him.
8. Eli Manning vs. Jets. Is Eli up for the test?
9. Drew Brees vs. Panthers. Brees bounces back.
10. Jay Cutler vs. Chargers. Still looks fine without Walker.
11. Ben Roethlisberger vs. Hawks. Bounce-back game.
12. Matt Schaub vs. Dolphins. Doesn't matter who his receivers are.
13. Trent Green vs. Texans.
14. Jeff Garcia vs. Colts. Not appealing this week.
15. David Garrard vs. Chiefs. Too bad he doesn't have better WRs.
16. Joey Harrington vs. Titans.
17. Philip Rivers vs. Broncos. He's regressed.
18. Chad Pennington vs. Giants. Watch out for those sacks.
RBs
1. LT vs. Broncos. This will be his best game so far this season.
2. Willis McGahee vs. 49ers. Not a lot of great matchups this week.
3. Reggie Bush vs. Panthers. He goes off, or he's a total bust.
4. Joseph Addai vs. Bucs.
5. Laurence Maroney vs. Browns. He's due to go off.
6. Edge James vs. Rams. The Rams are bad.
7. Larry Johnson vs. Jags. Still remember what Chris Brown did?
8. Willie Parker vs. Seahawks. At least he's at home.
9. Ronnie Brown vs. Texans. What can Brown do for you?
10. Clinton Portis vs. Lions. Will his knee hold up?
11. Marshawn Lynch vs. Cowboys. Hopefully Bills don't get down a bunch in a hurry.
12. Shaun Alexander vs. Seahawks. Still could vulture a short TD or two.
13. Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Chiefs. It's about time he did something.
14. Marion Barber vs. Bills.
15. Thomas Jones vs. Giants.
16. DeShaun Foster vs. Saints. Watch out for DeAngelo Williams getting carries.
17. Jamal Lewis vs. Pats. The big question: How many carries will he get?
18. Ron Dayne vs. Dolphins.
19. Travis Henry vs. Chargers. Knee, ankle and now other issues cloud things. I'd bench him if I had any other options.
20. Ladell Betts vs. Lions. Goes higher in rankings if Portis can't play.
WRs
1. Terrell Owens vs. Bills. It's Monday night. It's T.O. time.
2. Randy Moss vs. Browns. No stopping him this year.
3. Roy Williams vs. Redskins.
4. Reggie Wayne vs. Bucs. Harrison likely to miss game.
5. Santonio Holmes vs. Seahawks. Will Ward play?
6. Torry Holt vs. Cards. Good for 100 yards, TD.
7. Larry Fitzgerald vs. Rams.
8. Deion Branch vs. Steelers. Has big games against Pittsburgh.
9. Donald Driver vs. Bears. Favre still has it.
10. Steve Smith vs. Saints. Has come up small, but Saints D isn't that good.
11. Joey Galloway vs. Colts. They'll need to play catch-up.
12. Marques Colston vs. Panthers. Saints should get back on track.
13. Brandon Marshall vs. Chargers. Having a great rookie season.
14. Braylon Edwards vs. Pats. Gets a deep ball a game.
15. Lav Coles vs. Giants. Jets WRs are producing.
16. Jerricho Cotchery. Same as above.
17. Plex Burress vs. Jets. Will he show up?
18. Derrick Mason vs. 49ers. Having a solid season.
19. Lee Evans vs. Cowboys. Needs to bounce back.

21. Chris Chambers vs. Texans.
22. Bernard Berrian vs. Packers
23. Santana Moss vs. Lions.
24. Dwayne Bowe vs. Jags. Everybody's favorite FA pickup.
