"Football is like life and I know life." - Rush Limbaugh



No, there will be not talk about Rush this week, well, at least not the Rush you're thinking of. However, there will be talk about 100-yard rushers, a rush to Giant judgment and who will be rushing the quarterback.

Week 6 Player Watch

Donovan McNabb, Eagles -- Were you amazed with the numbers McNabb was able to produce last week? Yes, I know, the Buccaneers aren't exactly a dominant defense this season, but keep in mind that McNabb threw for 264 yards and three touchdowns on the road with a rookie leading the charge catching passes. This is nothing new, though. Over the years McNabb has had to throw to a handful of different receivers, including rookies, and has still produced at a high level on a regular basis. This week, the Eagles are on the road against a horrid Raiders team that McNabb should have no problem dissecting, especially if Eli Manning can do it with a bum foot.

Cedric Benson, Bengals -- Benson and the Bengals are coming off a huge victory against the Ravens, one for which the surprise runner surprisingly ran for over 100 yards against a stingy Baltimore defense that usually stands its ground against opposing ground attacks. This week, the Bengals will host a Texans defense that is allowing 140.8 rushing yards per game; an average that fell a little compared to this time last week. But that was because Houston faced a dominant passing offense in Arizona. Benson is the key for the Bengals slowing down the Texans offense. The more he carries the rock while gaining big chunks of yardage and taking time off the play clock, the less time the Texans passing attack will have to roar back.

Roddy White, Falcons -- The sleeping Falcon finally woke up this past week as he recorded eight receptions for 210 yards and scored two 30-plus yard touchdowns. This week, White and the Falcons will host the Bears on Sunday night. Chicago, much like the Falcons last week, is coming off a bye week. And while most fantasy owners may second-guess White's potential this week, his past success against the Bears tells a different tale. Last season, the Falcons' high-flying receiver recorded nine receptions for 112 yards and caught a 3-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter as the Falcons won, 22-20, on a late Jason Elam field goal. The bottom line here is that White is red hot and history is in his favor.
