Three Up
* Willis McGahee, RB, Ravens: Will face former teammates in Sunday's meeting at Buffalo. He's had decent yardage, but scored first touchdown only last Sunday. Figure on 115 yards and at least another score.
* Vincent Jackson, WR, Chargers: San Diego's addition of Chris Chambers at the trade deadline should actually help Jackson. Chambers and Antonio Gates, not to mention LaDainian Tomlinson's resurgence, will open up opportunities down the field for the speedy, yet inconsistent Jackson.
* Chad Johnson, WR, Bengals: Seeing the player who calls himself Ocho Cinco get ocho catches for ochenta y tres yards Sunday was nice. This Sunday, he gets to face a Jets defense that is cinco from the bottom in pass defense.
Three Down
* Kurt Warner, QB, Cardinals: Good to see the Daily News jinx still has muscle. Last Friday, we touted Warner as a decent pickup option. He rewarded us by getting hurt 2 days later. These things happen when you recommend Cardinals. By the way, avoid Tim Rattay, Warner's replacement.
* Reuben Droughns, RB, Giants: Tread lightly on the Droughns bandwagon. Eighty of his 90 yards Monday night came in garbage time. He did manage a second-quarter 1-yard score, however.
* Earnest Graham, RB, Buccaneers: A game of 13 carries for 29 yards was not what owners had in mind for Graham Sunday. Give him one more shot against the Lions. If he pigs it up again, the Bucs are likely to get newly acquired Michael Bennett involved. You know what to do if that happens. *
