Considering the state of the Redskins' defense, we'd suggest starting Muhammad despite his injury.   Chris Weinke , QB CAR  Updated 10/19/01 Weinke missed a portion of practice on Thursday due to a thigh bruise. However, Head Coach Geroge Seifert expects his rookie quarterback to start on Sunday against Washington. The matchup ! ag! ainst the 'Skins is a good one for Weinke, who should receive starting consideration from Fantasy owners.   Rob Moore , WR ARI  Updated 10/19/01 Moore (hamstring) missed practice on Thursday and has been downgraded for Sunday's game against New Orleans. He'll likely miss yet another week of action, so keep him on reserve if he's currently on your roster.   Steve McNair , QB TEN  Updated 10/19/01 McNair is listed as questionable (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Lions but is expected to play. Look for him to score a touchdown by either running the ball in or throwing.   Eddie George  , RB TEN  Updated 10/19/01 George is listed as questionable on the injury report with an ankle injury but is expected to play Sunday against Detroit. Look for George to have a big game against the struggling Lions.   Travis Taylor , WR BAL  Updated 10/19/01 Look for Taylor to catch several passes this week and snag at least one touchdown pass. He has become one of Elvis Grbac's favorite targets inside the red zone.   Qadry Ismail , WR BAL  Updated 10/19/01 Ismail will catc! h ! a few passes this week but don't expect him to score any touchdowns. He has just two TD receptions in five games.   Dennis Northcutt , WR CLE  Updated 10/19/01 Northcutt has been getting a lot of practice in the No. 2 receiver slot and might fill-in for the injured Quincy Morgan as a starter. Don't expect Northcutt to be too productive, but he is a decent pickup if you need an extra wideout.    Trent Green , QB KC  Updated 10/18/01 The Chiefs might depend on the run, so Green's numbers may be limited. Expect one TD pass, but his yardage numbers will be modest.  Ken Dilger , TE IND  Updated 10/18/01 Dilger is not a major factor in the Indianapolis passing game anymore. Don't expect much from him against the underrated New England defense this week.  Marcus Pollard , TE IND  Updated 10/18/01 Pollard has emerged as Indianpolis' top option at tight end. He will once again be a key factor in the passing game against New England this week,  Edgerrin James , RB IND  Updated 10/18/01 James was held to just 55 rushing yards in his first game against New England this year.! E! xpect much better numbers on James' home turf this week.  Reggie Wayne , WR IND  Updated 10/18/01 Wayne is expected to start in place of the injured Jerome Pathon for the second consecutive week. Wayne has not done much yet, so don't put him in your Fantasy lineup.  Marvin Harrison , WR IND  Updated 10/18/01 Harrison suually performs well in divisional matchups, and has burned Patriots CB Ty Law in the past. Expect him to produce good numbers against New England.  Pe! yt! on Manning , QB IND  Updated 10/18/01 Manning did not perform well the first time he faced New England. He was intercepted by the Patriots three times, but should perform better against them at home this week.  Randy Moss , WR MIN  Updated 10/18/01 Moss did not participate in practice Wednesday due to his sore right ankle. He should be able to practice on Thursday and play Sunday against Green Bay, but hold off deciding on whether to use him until it's clear whether he will be able to play.  Bill Schroeder , WR GB  Updated 10/18/01 Schroeder missed practice Wedne! sd! ay with an ankle injury. He is receiving treatment and should play Sunday, but monitor his progress before deciding whether to use him this week.   Terry Glenn , WR NE  Updated 10/18/01 Glenn might have another good game this week. Indianapolis' secondary might have trouble handling Glenn, who immediately proved an early-season layoff didn't hurt him last week.  Antowain Smith , RB NE  Updated 10/18/01 Smith rushed for 94 yards and two TDs the first time he faced the Colts this year. Expect him to get in the end zone at least once this week, in his second meeting with Indianapolis.  Wayne Chrebet , WR NYJ  Updated 10/18/01 Chrebet's numbers have been very disappointing so far. He could have a good week if the Jets engage in a shootout with the Rams. He is still a risky start, because New York will center its gameplan around Curtis Martin.  Laveranues Coles , WR NYJ  Updated 10/18/01 Coles has emerged as a go-to receiver for the Jets, but might be held down by the Rams. The St. Louis defenive backs should be able to match his downfield speed.  Curtis Martin , RB NYJ  Updated 10/18/01 Martin will be the focal point ! of! the New York offense this week. The Jets will try to control the ball and the clock against the Rams.   Stephen Davis , RB WAS  Updated 10/18/01 Davis had his first decent game of the season on Monday against Dallas, but he's still a very risky Fantasy player due to Washington's horrible offense. Facing Carolina is an advantageous matchup, however, so starting Davis this week warrants consideration.   Tony Banks , QB WAS  Updated 10/18/01 Banks was very mediocre against Dallas on Monday night, completing 10-of-18 passes for only 132 yards and one touchdown. At this point, Banks isn't even worth a roster spot outside of deeper leagues.   Michael Westbrook , WR WAS  Updated 10/18/01 Westbrook has been less than mediocre this season, but he could have a decent outing against Carolina. He's had some success against the Panthers in the past, but he's still only worth starting in deeper leagues.   Vinny Testaverde , QB NYJ  Updated 10/18/01 Testaverde might not be a good start this week. The St. Louis defense can be opportunistic, and could very well make the Jets QB throw his first interception of the year.  Walter Rasby , TE WAS  Updated 10/18/01! Rasby will likely get most of the work at tight end now that Stephen Alexander is out. However, he warrants no real Fantasy consideration at this point.   Rod Gardner , WR WAS  Updated 10/18/01 Gardner could have a decent game against a questionable Carolina secondary on Monday. He's worth considering as a starter Fantasy-wise, but only in larger leagues.   Torry Holt , WR STL  Updated 10/18/01 Holt has the potential to post big numbers against a shaky N.Y. Jets secondary on Sunday. He's a big time Fantasy wideout and should be in your! s! tarting lineup on a weekly basis.   Isaac Bruce , WR STL  Updated 10/18/01 Bruce hasn't been very consistent thus far, but he's far too talented to ever consider benching. Look for him to turn things around against the questionable N.Y. Jets secondary.
