NFL SPORTSBOOKS FANTASY FOOTBALL MATCHUP OF THE WEEK

Bengals Patriots
Kickoff: 1 p.m. Gillette Stadium, Foxboro, Mass.
Weather: Partly cloudy, high: 44, low: 35.
Bengals QB Carson Palmer won't have a great level of success vs. the Patriots, who have surrendered 12.6 points per game at home. Against one of the game's best defenses, the Baltimore Ravens, Palmer was 29-of-36 for a career-high 382 yards and three touchdowns, this week? Don’t bet on it. RB Rudi Johnson is a decent flex option, but don't expect much as the New England front seven limits the run. WR Chad Johnson has been on fire in recent weeks and should remain active, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh remains a nice third option vs. a defensive backfield that is without CB Ty Law (knee, out) and could miss CB Tyrone Poole (knee, doubtful). The effectiveness of Dillon and the run will create play-action opportunities for QB Tom Brady, who should find WRs Deion Branch and David Patten in the vertical pass attack. Expect Dillon to be his best and both teams to be highly competitive on Sunday. Bench TE Daniel Graham - Suffering from some nagging injuries. Find alternatives this week.

Revenge is defined at Merriam-Webster Online as "to avenge (as oneself) usually by retaliating in kind or degree." In Week 14, the definition should be accompanied with a picture of Dillon. The veteran back has rushed for 98-plus yards with eight touchdowns in his past seven starts, and will look to add to those incredible statistics against the team traded him in the offseason -- the Cincinnati Bengals. Marvin Lewis' team has been more competitive in recent weeks, but the defense continues to resemble Swiss cheese. It has surrendered 75 combined points in the past two weeks, and opponents have run for the second-most yards (141.9) per game in the league. Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is certain to attack this weakness with 20-25 carries to Dillon, who will be the most motivated athlete on the Gillette Stadium field and should produce his eighth 100-yard performance of the season.

SeahawksVikings
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Hubert H. Humphrey Dome, Minneapolis. Weather: Dome.

This contest will be a shootout -- the Vikings rank 26th in total defense and Seattle has allowed a combined 81 points in the past two weeks -- so all starters have some level of value. RB Shaun Alexander has rushed for an average of 124.8 yards with six TDs in his past six starts. QB Matt Hasselbeck should produce his second consecutive nice stat line, and will look often to WR Darrell Jackson. That of course is if DJACK makes it to the game intime. He’s in Florida with his ailing father. Jerry Rice might have to put this offense on his back again like he did on MNF. Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper will receive solid run support from RB Onterrio Smith, who isn’t listed on the Vikings injury report. Smith took part in practice on Wednesday and looked ready to go against the Seahawks this Sunday in what might be one of the biggest games of the NFL weekend. Smith is a nice flex option vs. a Seattle team that is vulnerable at the linebacker position due to several injuries. WR Randy Moss still appears to be limited with a sore hamstring, so start him with caution.

DolphinsBroncos
Kickoff: 4:05 p.m., Invesco Field, Denver. Weather: Partly cloudy, high: 51, low: 30.

Denver's Week #14 opponent, Miami, has suffered their share of injuries on the defense this season and will be facing Plummer and the Broncos in the thin air of Mile High Stadium. Miami will have little success with RB Travis Minor, so expect the team to attack with QB A.J. Feeley and the pass. The Dolphins won't be afraid to throw in the direction of CB Champ Bailey, so WR Chris Chambers remains a decent third option. Dolphins TE Randy McMichael has a combined four receptions in his past two starts. Broncos RB Reuben Droughns is an attractive starter vs. a Dolphins defense that will miss LB Zach Thomas (hamstring, out), though Tatum Bell could cut into his carries. QB Jake Plummer has 15 touchdown passes in six home starts and is a nice starter, as are WRs Rod Smith and Ashley Lelie vs. a defensive backfield that was exposed by the Bills last week. Memo to Denver - Forget what you saw in Miami last week when the Dolphins racked up huge yards against the Bills. This offense is not very good and it starts with the offensive line. The Dolphins are also without Zack and Junior and are playing for NOTHING but pride.

RamsPanthers
Kickoff: 4:15 p.m., Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, N.C.
Weather: Sunny, high: 55, low: 39.

The Rams offense won't be as potent without QB Marc Bulger (shoulder, doubtful), who will be replaced by brittle veteran Chris Chandler. Jackson did not practice Wednesday and Faulk participated in most of the action during the workout. RB Arlen Harris is slated to start ahead of Marshall Faulk (knee, probable) and Steven Jackson (knee, questionable), which makes he a decent flex option. Carolina is 20th vs. the pass, so be certain to start WRs Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Panthers QB Jake Delhomme should produce a nice stat line, and it's difficult to bench RB Nick Goings who has rushed for four TDs in his past three starts. against a St. Louis team that is vulnerable to the run. WR Muhsin Muhammad has 100-plus yards in three of his past four starts and should also be active. Sunday Sleeper - TE Kris Mangum - The Rams have been very generous to tight ends. Mangum is a serious sleeper candidate in touchdown leagues, and a fringe starter if your in need of a tight end this Sunday.

BrownsBills
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park, N.Y.
Weather: Cloudy, high: 40, low: 29.

Browns QB Luke McCown will receive his second consecutive start, but that's no reason to start him vs. a Bills front seven that has been stellar in recent weeks and will pressure the rookie the entire afternoon. Buffalo ranks fourth against. the run, so RBs William Green and Lee Suggs (toe, questionable) are no better than flex options. Antonio Bryant - The best receiving option for fantasy owners on the Browns roster. A touchdown reception wouldn’t be out of the question. Bills QB Drew Bledsoe should find continued success against a Browns defense that has allowed a combined 100 points in the past two weeks, which also makes WR Eric Moulds a nice option. The combination of the Bills closing schedule and Bledsoe's new diet make him a consideration, especially the way he has played the last three weeks. Cleveland has fallen apart vs. the run, so expect RB Willis McGahee to star. You want Willis in your lineup.

GiantsRavens
Kickoff: 1 p.m., M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore.
Weather: Partly cloudy, high: 50, low: 41.

Ravens QB Kyle Boller hasn't thrown for a touchdown in his past two starts and is not a recommended option even with TE Todd Heap back in the mix. The Giants will be without DT Norman Hand (groin, out), which weakens the middle of the defense and makes RB Chester Taylor a more attractive flex option. New York's offense has been terrible with QB Eli Manning at the helm, so even RB Tiki Barber is a gamble vs. LB Ray Lewis and a formidable front seven. QB Eli Manning - Not this year. I’d call him a fringe starter for Week #14, but the Ravens ’D’ actually looked mortal last Sunday against the Bengals, and Barber is still a start in my book, and on my team. Once on pace to break Marshall Faulk's record for scrimmage yards in a season, Barber has seen a huge decrease in production without Kurt Warner on the field.

RaidersFalcons
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Georgia Dome, Atlanta. Weather: Dome.

RB Amos Zereoue and the Raiders will have little success with the run vs. Atlanta, so expect QB Kerry Collins to throw the ball 30-40 times. Kerry Collins has been exceptional over the last three weeks and faces a Falcons defense that is suspect in the secondary. That will mean several chances for WR Jerry Porter, who has four touchdowns in the past two weeks, WR Doug Gabriel - Could benefit from the loss of Curry. The Falcons should bounce back from a shutout loss to the Buccaneers, so expect a solid all-around performance from QB Michael Vick vs. Oakland's 28th-ranked defense. That also bodes well for Vick's first option in the pass attack, TE Alge Crumpler. RB Warrick Dunn should also do well and is a nice flex option in leagues with 12-plus teams.

SaintsCowboys
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Texas Stadium, Irving, Texas. Weather: Sunny, high: 73, low: 44.
Saints QB Aaron Brooks has been an enigma for owners, but he remains a nice option in leagues with 12-plus teams vs. a weak Dallas pass defense. This isn't anything to write home about, but against the Cowboys, his fantasy status this week is a definite start. WR Joe Horn should have a monster stat line vs. CB Terence Newman, who has improved in recent weeks but still won't contain the veteran. WR Donté Stallworth has been inconsistent, but even he warrants consideration as a No. 3 or 4 receiver. The Dallas offense will center around RB Julius Jones, who should dominate a New Orleans team that ranks last in the NFL vs. the run. Jones and the Cowboys face one of the most generous defenses in the league. Make sure Jones is in your lineup. His success should create chances for QB Vinny Testaverde and the pass, which makes WR Keyshawn Johnson and TE Jason Witten both attractive starters. Bench RB Eddie George - The fantasy grim reaper has visited

BearsJaguars
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Alltel Stadium, Jacksonville, Fla. Weather: Sunny, high: 60, low: 44.

Leftwich’s match-up against the Bears is a favorable one in a must win game, albeit probably too late, for the Jags. Leftwich is a nice option in leagues with 12-plus teams, and will look to WR Jimmy Smith often in the vertical attack.
. If you have other options explore the match-ups as well though. Bears QB Chad Hutchinson was impressive in his first start of the season, but don't expect similar production vs. a Jacksonville team that tends to thrive at home. Chicago will continue to start RB Thomas Jones in the backfield, but expect Anthony Thomas to also receive five to 10 carries. I don’t expect the Bears to have a lead making the best fit this Sunday in the catch-up offense--Thomas Jones. The best options in this contest come from the Jaguars, who will lean on RB Fred Taylor vs. a Chicago defense that has surrendered the second-most rushing yards (575) in the league over the past three weeks. Bench WR Justin Gage - Last year at this time, Gage was hot. What a difference a year makes

ColtsTexans
Kickoff: 1 p.m., Reliant Stadium, Houston. Weather: Sunny, high: 74, low: 54.

Colts QB Peyton Manning will continue to shine vs. a weak Texans team that ranks 29th in total defense and 28th against the pass. Does Manning tie or break the record on the road Sunday? Or does he wait until he returns to the RCA Dome to face the Ravens in the spotlight of Sunday night ESPN football? WRs Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne and Brandon Stokley are all nice options, but the latter could be the hero against nickel CB Demarcus Faggins. Texans QB David Carr has been much more productive at home and is a nice starter in leagues with 12-plus teams vs. a Colts defense that ranks 29th vs. the pass. RB Domanick Davis is a solid second back and should remain active, but it could be WR Andre Johnson who posts the best numbers. He has averaged 100 yards with four touchdowns in his past five starts at Reliant Stadium. The Houston Chronicle reports that wide receiver Andre Johnson (back) will practice on a limited basis this week. He is listed as questionable

JetsSteelers
Kickoff: 4:05 p.m., Heinz Field, Pittsburgh. Weather: Cloudy, high: 43, low: 30.

Jets QB Chad Pennington has been unimpressive in his past three road starts (one TD, two INTs), and that trend will continue vs. the Steelers' top-ranked defense. 200 yards of offense from Pennington will be a solid afternoon. You have better options this Sunday than risking your team’s success to the Jets or the Steelers signal callers. RB Curtis Martin is the one decent option in green and white, aside from the defense/special teams unit. Pittsburgh's offense won't fair much better against the underrated Jets, who surrender the fewest points per game (14.6) in the league. While the absence of DE John Abraham (knee, out) is a positive, QB Ben Roethlisberger still isn't a recommended starter. RB Duce Staley is a nice flex option, but he'll lose goal-line carries to Jerome Bettis. WR Antwaan Randle El - If you are looking for a big play wide out that brings a high-reward Sunday, Randle El could be your man. That said your team must be a big underdog this Sunday to take the risk.

Bucs Chargers
Kickoff: 4:15 p.m., Qualcomm Stadium, San Diego.
Weather: Partly cloudy, high: 72, low: 50.

Buccaneers QB Brian Griese is a decent option vs. San Diego's 27th ranked pass defense, though his first option in the pass attack, WR Michael Clayton, should be covered well by CB Quentin Jammer. That would mean more chances for WR Joey Galloway, who will find success in the slot. RB Michael Pittman won't thrive on the ground, but he's still a threat as a receiver out of the backfield. There has been only one team in the league that has been better against the run than DC Wade Phillips and the Chargers, and that is DC Gregg Williams and the Skins. If you have choices at running back, please weigh your alternatives before automatically throwing Pittman into your starting lineup. Drew Brees has thrown 15 TD passes in six starts at Qualcomm Stadium and will have the support of RB LaDainian Tomlinson and the run, which will create play-action chances for TE Antonio Gates and WR Keenan McCardell, who will be motivated vs. his old team.

49ersCardinal
Kickoff: 4:15 p.m., Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, Ariz.
Weather: Sunny, high: 77, low: 53.

49ers QB Ken Dorsey will start in the absence of Tim Rattay (foot, doubtful), which could mean more chances for TE Eric Johnson. He’s been slowed down in the last month---but still a top-tiered option in Week #14. With RB Kevan Barlow (concussion, out) also on the sidelines, Maurice Hicks will start and is a decent flex option vs. Arizona's 29th-ranked run defense. Emmitt Smith (toe, questionable) is expected to miss his second start. Cardinals QB Josh McCown will start for the first time in three weeks but still has little value in Fantasy Football. The return of McCown to the starting lineup might be more because of what he did in Week #5 against the 49ers, than about the injury to John Navarre (finger). Josh had his best game of the season in Week #5 at Monster Park. RB Emmitt Smith will start in the backfield and is a decent flex starter in leagues with 12-plus teams. The 'Niners are thin in the defensive backfield, so WRs Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald are nice third options. Boldin has yet to find the end zone this season. He missed the first 7-games of the year with a knee injury and has just recently pronounced himself 100 percent.

EaglesSunday Night Football Betting Redskins
Kickoff: 8:30 p.m., FedEx Field, Hyattsville, Md.
Weather: Partly cloudy, high: 50, low: 37.

Redskins running back Clinton Portis rushed for 148 yards on 31 carries in a Week #13 win over the Giants. Joe Gibbs said they would give Portis 30 carries and they did. The Philly defense can be had on the ground, and the Redskins would be well served to keep McNabb and Westbrook off the field. Eagles QB Donovan McNabb threw four touchdown passes in his last contest vs. Washington, and should post another stellar stat line in this NFC East rematch. He has thrown four-plus TDs in three of his past four starts. RB Brian Westbrook and WR Terrell Owens have found the end zone a combined 13 times in the past four weeks and should also remain active. Redskins QB Patrick Ramsey has done little to warrant consideration and is not a recommended starter vs. a formidable Eagles defense. WR Laveranues Coles is the one decent starter on the Redskins entire roster, as #2 WR Rod Gardner has scored a TD in just two of his past nine starts. I’m not high on Clinton Portis, who still has to be considered a risk even after his two-touchdown performance last week. Sleeper TE - Chris Cooley - Ramsey likes this kid and it has shown over the last few weeks in his targeted looks.
