I would say Couch and McCaffrey

Bledsoe has the hot hand, Testaverde does not.

Bledsoe and McCaffrey.

I agree - go with Bledsoe and McCaffrey.

Couch could end up with the great game (over 300 yds + 2 or 3 TDs), but he is more of a risk if the Pit D has figured out how to play against the spread offense. Bledsoe is a safer play, and a pretty good one at that. Testaverde has sucked, so stay away from Chrebet. Easy Ed has not played too much better than Chrebet, but I think he will improve week by week, and he is always a threat to grab a TD.

I say Chrebet- he's due for a big game.

McCaffrey, because his offense doesn't suck.

Bledsoe, because the Bears defense is a little banged up and the Bills have a lot of weapons at Drew's disposal.

You can't go wrong with either Couch or Bledsoe this week. Both will be top 10 QBs, more like top 6 QBs.

You must go with McCaffery

The Steelers have been shellacked by Tom Brady and Rich Gannon, and are currently 31st in the league in passing defense, giving up 324.5 yards per game on average. The Browns bring 3 of the current top 10 fantasy receivers into this game with them (Andre Davis, Quincy Morgan, Kevin Johnson) and also last week's hero, Dennis Northcutt. Johnson was reported to be limping after the game Sunday, but declared himself fine and that he'd be ready for this weekend's game. That's weapons a plenty with which to fire off a barrage of passes, just as the Patriots and Raiders did before them.

Drew Bledsoe is on fire in 2002. Bledsoe leads the league in passing yardage, with 1017 yards in three games. Combined with 6 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions, that puts him at #4 on the quarterback's fantasy points list. Both Peerless Price (#1 fantasy receiver) and Eric Moulds (#5 fantasy receiver) are monsters - each has 25 receptions and 2 scores - and Josh Reed the #3 guy is solid with 13 balls for 155 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Bear's passing defense suffered a big blow last week, losing dime defensive back, rookie Bobby Gray (out for season with a wrist injury), in a secondary already without starting CB R. W. McQuarters (knee injury). They are ranked 17th in the league, surrendering 197.3 yards per game and 5 touchdowns so far in 2002

Like I said, you just can't go wrong with either QB. Couch has the better matchup, and Bledsoe is personally doing much better. Both are going to be top in the top 6-7 QBs on the week. Take which ever one you prefer.
