Three Moving Up:
1. Rank: # 6. I think this is finally the week that Steve Slaton gets in on the scoring parade in Houston. He just killed Jacksonville at home in week 13 last season: 21-130 for 2 TDs plus 52 yards receiving. If he doesn’t get it done this week you may have to start looking at other options.
2. Rank: #10. Willis McGahee has shown he’s going to be the red zone back on top of splitting carries. He has 4TDs in the first two week and this is his best match up yet against the abominable Browns.
3. Rank: # 15. With Bob Sanders on the mend again this week I like Tim Hightower to get on the go at home vs. the Colts. Hightower is two for two for productive games this season and is a threat to score on the ground and through the air.
Three Plummeting:
1. Rank: # 24. He was the best fantasy player last week but I’ll take safer options this week as Chris Johnson goes up against the Jets. The Jets have been playing lockdown defense through two games and they won’t make the same mistakes that the Texans did last week
2. Rank: # 30. From the same game I don’t see Thomas Jones doing too much here. Despite the fact that the Titans have been scored on aplenty, they have controlled the line of scrimmage and dominated on run defense. To their credit so far this year has been shutting down Willie Parker and Steve Slaton.
3. Rank: # 18. Steven Jackson is healthy and still explosive but opposing defenses can primarily key on shutting him down with no consequence of the Rams’ passing game killing them. Once the Rams can get a more balanced offence together Jackson will regain his top 10 value but that isn’t in the cards this week. He’s still a start but temper your expectations; best case scenario will be that he gets something like 30 touches and is able to break one loose.

Injury Risks: Rankings are based on these players not playing
Brian Westbrook KC Questionable- the seemingly always questionable Westbrook will be a top 25 back if he is in and will probably kill the value of McCoy.
Marian Barber Car Doubtful - Looks more and more like he won’t be in, Felix Jones gets the bump up the ranks
LaDainian Tomlinson Mia Questionable- Probably won’t see too many reps even if he does play
