by William "The Refrigerator" Perry. "Fridge" hasn't been in the league for 13 years.
Three up
* Randy Moss, wide receiver,
Patriots: Owners bummed by last week's three catches for
46 yards should be encouraged by Moss' average of 112.5 yards and 10 touchdowns in six career meetings against Dallas.
* Dominic Rhodes, running back, Raiders: If he's still available on the waiver wire, why not? He's just as worthy as Earnest Graham, DeShawn Wynn
or one of the Texans' running backs. Don't play him this week unless absolutely necessary, though. If you must play a Raider, go with Justin Fargas instead.
* Dwayne Bowe, wide receiver, Chiefs: Nobody gives up points to wide receivers like the
Bengals, this week's opponent. Bowe's a good No. 3 option and would be higher with a more
stable quarterback situation.
Three down
* Laurence Maroney, running back, Patriots: Before jamming him back in your lineup, remember that Dallas is ranked seventh against the run and Sammy
Morris is still in the mix.
Maroney is closer to making a run at bust of the year than at starting No. 1 running back.
* Shaun Alexander, running back, Seahawks: Fullback Mack Strong's career-ending neck
injury is an obvious blow to Alexander's already-sinking value.
* Kenton Keith, running back, Colts: It looks like starter Joseph Addai will be back after the bye. The best play might be to offer him in a trade to the Addai owner, who's probably still in panic mode.
