Borderline plays
Each week, I write up some borderline fantasy plays I like for NBC's PR department for a press release. When I remember, I post them here ...
Chad Pennington vs. Broncos: Pennington’s revival is for real; he’s second in the league in yards-per-attempt. If he can average 300 yards against the Bills and Ravens, he’s going over the mark at Denver.
Kyle Orton vs. Lions: Six quarterbacks who have faced Detroit this season have enjoyed career best passer rating numbers. Orton for MVP!
David Garrard vs. Bengals: Garrard is getting better every week, and the Bengals secondary is getting worse.
Tim Hightower @ Rams: The changing of the guard in Arizona’s backfield starts now.
Justin Fargas vs. Falcons: The Raiders are a different team at home and Fargas is getting all the carries.
Ricky Williams vs. Broncos: Still getting an uncomfortable amount of carries for Ronnie Brown owners, especially in the red zone.
Greg Camarillo @ Broncos: Pennington’s new Wayne Chrebet will load up receptions against a weak Denver secondary.
Kevin Curtis @ Seahawks: One game under his belt and facing a woeful secondary.
Joey Galloway @ Chiefs: See Kevin Curtis. Galloway quietly looked very fast last week.
Comments
Galloway looked fast but is still second banana to Bryant - and Bryant should have a real big day. Tedd Ginn can really use this to build on his breakout game. I see another one coming this week- except with a TD this time.

What do you think the split will be for carries between Hightower/Edge?
I have a few other RBBC (C.Johnson, J.Stewart) and would like to see someone emerge.

How is Orton a borderline play?
In the last 6 weeks only Brees, Schaub and Romo have averaged more points per game. I mean how much more does this guy have to do?

My best RB is on a bye this week (Gore) and my next best is out (Sammy Morris). Now I have to start 2 of the following. Please help.
Fred Taylor, Derrick Ward, Leron McClain, and Benjarvis Greene-Ellis
