BENCH
QB: Jay Cutler, Broncos
RB: Tony Hunt, Eagles
RB: Steven Jackson, Rams

Three up
-- Marion Barber, RB, Cowboys: His number of carries has gone up each of the last three games, while backfield mate Julius Jones' has declined. It's safe to use Barber as a No. 2 back.

-- Jeff Garcia, QB, Buccaneers: After watching Joey Harrington throw for 361 yards Sunday against Carolina, Garcia became a bye-week option this week for Drew Brees owners.
Three down
-- LaMont Jordan, RB, Raiders: It's a good time to entertain trade offers for Jordan. His value is high, and Dominic Rhodes is a week away from returning from suspension and possibly clogging up Oakland's backfield.

His value is high, and Dominic Rhodes is a week away from returning from suspension and possibly clogging up Oakland's backfield.-- Kenny Watson, RB, Bengals: It's OK to take him only to block Rudi Johnson owners looking for insurance. With an unfavorable matchup Monday against the Patriots and a bye next week, Watson might never hit your active lineup.
-- Lee Evans, WR, Bills: Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, the Bills now must turn to rookie quarterback Trent Edwards. Play Evans against the Jets' struggling pass defense and pray. Cut bait if he pigs it up again.
