Looks like no corner was actually turned in his connection with Matt Cassel despite a strong Week 5. Moss owners will have to suffer through the uncertainty the rest of the way. (SportsBuff.com)

He continues to carry value for PPR leaguers. If your league doesn't count receptions, though, Welker is only average. (SportsBuff.com)

This is more like what can be expected than his two-touchdown explosion in Week 5. Ignore Faulk in all but the deepest fantasy leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Morris is the best fantasy option among Patriots backs, but that's like being the skinniest person in Milwaukee. Only play him if you really need him. (SportsBuff.com)

A lot of people seemed to be getting excited about Cassel's prospects, apparently after a single long touchdown hookup with Randy Moss. This should temper any expectations. (SportsBuff.com)

Hixon has accepted his return to back up status. Should Plexico falter or find himself in harm?s way again, Hixon will be there waiting his turn. (SportsBuff.com)

Hixon likely ensured a larger role in the offense with his 100-yard outburst as a starter in place of Plaxico Burress last week. Burress is back, though, which figures to take away from the number of targets available. Only use Hixon if you're in a deep league. (SportsBuff.com)

Maroney seems likely to be active Sunday night and just as likely to be a fantasy non-factor once again. Of course, we never know what to expect from the Pats, but Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk both look like better options. (SportsBuff.com)

Manning gets Plexico Burress back this week, and will once again spread the ball around to his numerous offensive weapons. The Giants are in ?Prime Time? against the scuffling Browns. (SportsBuff.com)

If Burress happened to catch any of the Giants Week 5 blow-out against the Seahawks, he undoubtedly saw Domenik Hixon do a great job of filling his shoes. Burress is still a must-play for those that have him on their team. (SportsBuff.com)

Sammy Morris seems like a better bet for carries in New England, but the Patriots' running game is among the most unpredictable in the league. New England backs bring potential for scoring and frustration. (SportsBuff.com)

Morris seems like the better bet to be the top option, at least for the time being. Of course, it was Kevin Faulk who scored both rushing touchdowns. One thing that the Patriots running game promises to be for fantasy owners is frustrating. (SportsBuff.com)

Jacobs is a weekly fantasy starter, although it's worth noting that he hasn't carried the ball more than 15 times since Week 1. A continuation of that trend could keep him fresher throughout the season, but it could also limit his 100-yard outings. (SportsBuff.com)

Despite the increased pass attempts, the offense still ran the ball a little bit more often than it threw. Cassel is not a strong fantasy option overall, though he could offer a little help to desperate owners in weeks 7 (Denver) and 8 (St. Louis). (SportsBuff.com)

His yardage totals in the 20s for each of the past two games still offer reason for worry, but the Patriots might be letting Cassel look downfield a bit more. Unless Moss goes on a prolonged cold streak, he needs to stay in fantasy lineups. (SportsBuff.com)

Jacobs has been splitting time with Derrick Ward and Ahamd Bradshaw, and has been relatively ineffective against teams with strong a defensive line. The Giants host Seattle this week and Jacobs should be well rested coming off the bye week. (SportsBuff.com)

The current and pending suspension issues surrounding Plexico Burress make Toomer a very hot commodity. He should see plenty of action this week in Seattle. (SportsBuff.com)

With some questions about the Patriots passing game, they need Maroney to step up. He has not been able to stay healthy, but looked impressive as a rookie. (SportsBuff.com)

Burress has sacrificed benefit of the doubt with his ornery past. We'll see what happens here, but don't hold your breath for him being in the lineup come Week 5. (SportsBuff.com)

If your league counts assists, then Bruschi had a decent game in Week 1. Overall, he has yet to produce more than three solo tackles in any of the three games, lagging behind the production of rookie Jerod Mayo. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Pierce has potential to be a top IDP but generally settles into the merely decent level. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Keep playing Harrison as long as he's healthy and active. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Mayo appears to be a player on the rise. That said, his tackle numbers could fluctuate among a strong group of linebackers. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Although we never really know what will happen with the Patriots, Bill Belichick seemed to show with his use of Maroney last season that he doesn't really trust the player to play with pain. Look for him to be used sparingly if at all this week and be a poor fantasy option. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He and fellow tackle Barry Cofield will put up numbers here and there, and could be sleepers at desperate times. Robbins won't be a regular producer, though. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

He's for real. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

We'll see as Sunday gets closer how much the left ankle is bothering him. Of course, Kiwanuka doesn't make for that strong a play anyway, going up against Orlando Pace. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The talent surrounding him in the front seven will probably keep the rookie from putting up gaudy numbers. If he can stay in the neighborhood where he began, though, he'd be all right in deeper IDP leagues. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

If you're league doesn't count assists, Bruschi doesn't carry much value. If it does, he's a decent option. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

A decent share of tackles keeps Harrison a solid IDP contributor. Just don't expect big things from him. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Thomas is a better fit on the outside and should be a better source of sacks this season. He'll be a good play against the Jets, who allowed sacks by each of the Dolphins' starting 3-4 outside linebackers in Week 1. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

The veteran linebacker had a big season rushing the passer last year and could be in for more of the same as part of possibly the league's best front seven. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Don't count on regular production from Hobbs, especially with the injury to Tom Brady making it harder for the offense to run up scores and force opponents to pass. He could be solid against the Jets next week, though. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

How effective can Moss be without Tom Brady in the lineup the rest of the year. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Oh, ouch. On so many different levels. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Coach Bill Belichick had no update on Brady's condition after the game (like you thought you would get one out of him), but FOX Sports reported that Brady would have an MRI on Monday. Safe to say Pats fans will be holding their breath. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Burress was clearly happy with the new contract extension he signed yesterday, which could net him $35 million. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Jacobs punished several Redskin defenders who made attempts to tackle him and controlled the ground game for the G-men. If he can get in the end zone more, he's fantasy heaven. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Kind of an inconsistent performance, which is consistent with Eli's career. But he didn't really need to dazzle anyone the way Brandon Jacobs was running. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

Ward was in on third downs and clearly established himself as the backup to Brandon Jacobs. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)

He looks like a good play in an IDP lineman slot. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Leave Wilkinson alone. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

It certainly looked bad on TV, with Kiwanuka rolling around and holding his leg afterward. This is good news for fantasy owners, though. Unfortunately for anyone who might have started him, the illegal block likely kept Kiwanuka from registering a sack. (Matt Schauf/SportsBuff.com)

Both of the hosts of the show went on to say they have no way to confirm the rumor. We don't give much credence to it, but just wanted to pass it along. (Marc Pruitt/SportsBuff.com)
