Speaking of Packers ...
Anyone who dropped James Jones because Greg Jennings is back in the starting lineup made a mistake. Jones managed to lead the Packers in targets against San Diego and was about six inches away from scoring a touchdown. Brett Favre's attention was nicely split between his top three options, with Jennings, Jones, and Donald Driver getting 7-to-9 targets.
With a matchup this week against the stout Minnesota rushing attack, look for the Packers to spread the Vikings out (like every other team) and throw at them. That makes Jennings and Jones reasonable WR3 plays.

I looked at Jennings' stats from last season and I think there were actually only a few weeks early in the season where he was productive. Driver is unquestionably the guy though, I think Jones and Jennings will alternate useful weeks most of the time. Good luck trying to figure out which one when.

I think Tom's of Maine is a sleeper. Undervalued.

I dropped jones because my league does not count receptions as points. I picked up jennings because of that reason. Jones is a short and middle threat and driver is short, middle, and deep. Jennings is the speedester the beats the defense for that almighty touchdown going long. TD's that is why I grabbed him. Hard to cover jones and driver and still contain jennings long! Jennings benefits the most in this situation i believe.
