Ed Barkowitz | KC's Holmes no sure thing
* Brett Favre, QB, Packers: Has thrown at least two touchdown passes in seven of his last eight games against the Vikings.
* Andre Johnson, WR, Texans: Word out of Houston is that he will play next week against the Saints. It would be Johnson's first action since Week 2.
Three down
* Lawrence Tynes, K, Giants: If you are targeting the postseason, carrying two kickers is recommended. Tynes should not be one of them.
* Chad Johnson, WR, Bengals: Even if he does play, the matchup with an angry Ravens defense is so unappealing, T.J. Houshmandzadeh is the only Bengals offensive player who deserves a fantasy start. That said, it's worth noting that Johnson had 95 yards and a touchdown Week 1 against Baltimore.
* Cedric Benson, RB, Bears: Fantasy players already are tired of this guy's inconsistency. Maybe Chicago soon will be, too. Those in 12+ leagues should keep Benson's backup, Adrian Peterson (not that Adrian Peterson), on the radar.
* (Bonus entry) The NFC and AFC West divisions: Notice their standings lately? None of the eight teams is over .500.
