With all of the Falcons injuries on offense, would Dunn potentially carry much of the offensive load. And if so, would he be a better option to start than D Davis at Jacksonville or McAllister against Atlanta?

I am starting Dunn this week, along with Jamal Lewis.

I think after this past week (134 yards, 1 td) he is a great option.

not to mention the rookie QB matt schaub is starting so they may use the run more to take pressure off of him...im gonna play schaub this week over palmer or bledsoe at least i have been thinking about it what do you all think? i think dunn is a great start this week though.

soso, with all due respect, this is a bit of a double-edged sword, friend. Depending on the rook's performance, his display of prowess during the preseason 17-18 weeks ago must be put aside, they may just be able to key in on Atlanta's running game, i.e. Warrick Dunn, and shut it down.

BUT, this is New Orleans... I do think Dunn is a great option this week (not for the particular reason mentioned above, mind you) and surely one better than your other two, 12-12. Good luck!

I think Dunn is a great play this week. TJ is still recovering from injury. Alge will probably sit. Vick might sit. Go with Dunn.

soso... as far as Matt Schaub is concerned, I love the guy, but I would not start him over Bledsoe this week. Bledsoe is playing the Niners and he doesn't have Henry or (probably) McGahee to rely on. He'll be throwing all day to Moulds and Evans.

i like matt schaub also that is why i said i was gonna start him this week..i never said anything bad about him but i do expect NO to send alot of blitzes at him....

and steg i was merely stating that since they will have a rookie QB in the lineup that atlanta may run more which makes dunn a good option....

Initially I liked Dunn this week, but am becoming concerned about how he is dropping in the various weekly ranking tools. I am leaning toward Steg's logic in that until Schaub proves he can pass the ball this week, NO may focus on Dunn. That being said, I too have to decide what to do with Dunn. In the absence of a better option I will be starting him today. :-/

Domanick Davis is now officially a stud. Never bench him and take him late in the first round next season.
