QUARTERBACKS

Matthew Stafford dislocated his knee, but Lions haven't ruled him out for Week 5.  He hasn't practiced all week, so Daunte Culpepper will likely get the nod.  Matt Hasselbeck has been limited in practice this week as he recovers from a broken rib while Seneca Wallace has been taking his fair share of first team reps. The starter this Sunday deserves a look as a bye week replacement against the porous Jaguars' secondary.  Jeff Fisher is sticking with Kerry Collins at quarterback.  That probably has more to do with the lack of trust in Vince Young rather than a vote of confidence for Collins.  Matt Cassel has hardly looked like a rock star over the past 2 games, but he went up against two of the better defenses in the league.  This week, he faces a Dallas defensive unit that has been particularly bad versus the pass.  The Chiefs also rank near the bottom in pass defense making this game a sneaky high scoring contest (odds makers have the over/under at 42.5 points).

RUNNING BACKS

Willie Parker is unlikely to play this week against the Lions.  Rashard Mendenhall ran for 165 yards and 2 TDs last week is a fine option against Detroit.  If he continues to avoid the injury-bug, Mendenhall has a good chance to become a more prominent feature in the Steeler offense.  Jamal Lewis is still bothered by a strained hamstring.  Look for Jerome Harrison to get another start this Sunday if Lewis can’t suit up.  Harrison rushed for 121 yards last week and was even targeted 7 times by Derek Anderson.  He should put up some decent numbers against the Bills' 27th ranked rushing defense this week if there isn’t a timeshare.  Ricky Williams has been surprisingly solid over the first 4 games.  Last week he and Ronnie Brown combined for 200 yards on 36 attempts.  Brown's knee seems fine this year, but owners with extra roster space should consider Williams as a legit handcuff.  Kevin Smith scored 2 TDs last week, but only amassed 30 rushing yards.  He gets Pittsburgh this week, so he'll have another tough time racking up the yardage against the league's third best rush defense.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Derrick Mason had another solid outing hauling in 7 balls for 88 yards and a TD.  He's been held out of practice this week with a shoulder injury, monitor his progress.  Cleveland rookie Mohamed Massaquoi 8 reception 148-yard game against Cincinnati already turned some heads.   With Braylon Edwards now out of town, Massaquoi looks like an enticing fantasy addition.  The Browns' quarterback situation is in shambles, but he has a chance to emerge as the #1 receiver on a team that will be playing from behind a lot.  In New York, Braylon Edwards will need a little time to adjust to the new surroundings, but the Jets certainly view him as a valuable commodity considering the package they gave up.  Jerricho Cotchery takes a bit of a hit since he will see fewer opportunities in the long term, but is still valuable in PPR leagues.  Mario Manningham caught 1 pass for 43 yards in a 27-16 win over the Chiefs.  It was an encouraging sign that he was targeted 8 times, but he goes up against a decent Raider secondary and there is a slight chance David Carr might have to fill in for a dinged-up Eli Manning.

TIGHT ENDS

Heath Miller shredded the Charger secondary hauling in 8 receptions for 70 yards and 2 TDs.  He has Detroit on the slate for Week 5, so expect another solid outing.  Marcedes Lewis caught 4 passes for 76 yards and a TD against Tennessee in Week 4.  The match up against Seattle this Sunday has a chance to be high scoring, so Lewis can certainly be viewed as a Bye Week replacement.
