So you want to play all of the Cleveland Browns because you're banking on another 51-point game, eh?  Um, good luck with that.

The fact that QB Derek Anderson is even in a fantasy conversation shows you how nuts the NFL can be week to week.  But here we are, in an effort to bring some clarity to Week 3, with some players who ought to be on your minds this weekend.

START 'EM

Chris Chambers.  Miami's offense might be limping along, but Chambers is tied for fifth in the league with 15 catches and ninth with 201 yards.  Dolphins QB Trent Green does not handle pressure well, but that will not be an issue as the Jets have no sacks or turnovers.  The Jets also lost critical depth in a secondary that wasn't very good to begin with when Justin Miller went down.  Look for Chambers to get in the end zone this week.

Chris Cooley.  You might have heard that the Giants are atrocious against the pass, having allowed 80 points and seven passing TDs in the first two games.  We know their cornerbacks can't cover, but their linebackers have been even more of a problem and have allowed opposing tight ends to catch 14 passes for 171 yards and three TDs.  Cooley might only have three catches this season, but he will top that this week.

Matt Hasselbeck.  If the Browns could drop 51 points and five passing TDs on the Bengals, what should a sophisticated offense such as Seattle's be able to do?  Hasselbeck shook off almost six quarters of shaky play and got the offense in gear late against the Cardinals.  The Seahawks will try to carry that over against the Bengals, who have an enormous amount to prove on defense.  This is a great spot for Hasselbeck to get on a roll.

Thomas Jones.  With just 109 yards in two games, Jones has been a huge disappointment for the Jets, but that is nothing the Dolphins can not cure.  Miami is 31st with 178.5 rushing yards allowed, and the Dolphins already have shown a tendency to wear down late in games.  With the Jets not putting too much pressure on a creaky passing game, Jones will get a chance to pile up enough carries to have his first big game.

LaMont Jordan.  Jordan has turned into a nice early-season surprise after being a late-round pick and this week's game against the Browns is one of those that sets up perfectly for him.  He is coming off a 159-yard day against Denver, is averaging 5.7 yards a carry behind an improved offensive line, faces a Browns defense allowing 171.5 rushing yards a game and has had at least 100 yards against the Browns in each of the past two years.  Everybody who has him should play him, assuming his back is okay.

Jon Kitna.  Think the Lions noticed that Eagles cornerback William James didn't have a clue Monday night against the Redskins?  Bank on it, and if Jason Campbell could throw for 209 yards within the confines of the Redskins' conservative offense, expect Kitna to have a field day.  The Eagles also could be playing with injured Brian Dawkins, who is a vital cog in the secondary.  Don't worry about Kitna going on the road for a potentially difficult game.

SIT 'EM

Chris Brown.  We got all excited about Brown last week coming off that huge opener against the Jaguars, but LenDale White wound up with the better game against the Colts.  And the Titans sounds excited that White actually converted a goal-line chance, instead of fumbling, which indicates White will be given more such chances.  On the other hand, the Titans also could wind up flip-flopping between White and Brown each week, making both risks.  Either way, Brown's value as a starter has plummeted.

Vernon Davis.  The 49ers' offense has gone into a shell this year.  At 2-0, it is hard to argue too much, although we certainly were counting on a whole lot more than four catches and 27 yards out of Davis in two games.  Until they open up the playbook, Davis' value will stay down -- as will the value of every member of the passing game, including QB Alex Smith and WR Darrell Jackson.  Playing the Steelers, who have allowed 10 points in two games, does not help.

Marshawn Lynch.  You shouldn't even really be thinking about playing Lee Evans or J.P. Losman, but Lynch is the more difficult guy to bench.  He has looked fairly good in rushing for 154 yards and a TD in the first two weeks, although he is getting no help.  This week, you must sit him.  The Bills face the Patriots' league-leading run defense and Buffalo probably will have to bail on the run after falling behind.

Philip Rivers.  If not for Drew Brees, Rivers would be in the running for the most disappointing start to the season for a quarterback.  What's surprising is how careless he has been with the ball, already turning it over five times in two weeks following just 11 turnovers all of last season.  He does not look comfortable throwing to anybody other than Antonio Gates and ought to stay on your bench until things improve.  Don't expect it this week against a Packers defense that has allowed only two offensive TDs in two games.

Tony Romo.  This is a a risk considering the two big games Romo has had, accounting for seven total TDs.  But the Cowboys are very unlikely to hit their average of 41 points against the Bears and that will eat into Romo's numbers.  The Bears also have a far superior secondary to what Romo has seen thus far in the Giants and Dolphins.  That will result not only in fewer chances to get downfield but more potential interceptions.  And this will be one of the worst weeks for Romo.

Hines Ward.  Don't be surprised if the Steelers-49ers game turns into a grinding matchup between two physical teams, which necessarily limits the passing games.  Further, San Francisco CB Nate Clements has done a good job holding opposing No. 1 receivers in relative check so far.  If he is matched up against Ward here, look for Ben Roethlisberger to go the other way to Santonio Holmes instead.  Ward is almost impossible to sit and he is a crucial player in the crutch, but don't expect a big impact in this one.

THINK ABOUT 'EM

Frank Gore.  If the 49ers can't throw (see above), they need to run, right?  Perhaps, but that doesn't mean they will do it well.  The Steelers have not allowed a 100-yard rusher in 23 regular-season games so don't look for many yards.  Gore's value has been saved thus far by this three rushing TDs.  He will be fortunate to get in the end zone against the Steelers and without a TD, he has little value.  It is difficult to sit a player as good as Gore, but if there is a time to do it, this would be it.

Brett Favre.  He is getting a lot of love for closing in on the a--time TD record, but don't try to chase his past production.  Granted, the Chargers allowed 38 points last week on the road to the Patriots, but Green Bay is not nearly as explosive on offense as New England.  And don't you expect the Chargers to be a little embarrassed by what happened last week?  Favre is a good fantasy play only against defense such as the Giants.  And when playing a team such as San Diego, he easily could wind up posting a zero, as he did in the opener against the Eagles.

Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin.  The Cardinals have not exactly been blowing the doors off the offense so far, although Matt Leinart's 299-yard day against the Seahawks was encouraging.  The Ravens are up this week, which will be a significantly more difficult challenge.  They do seem to give up a few big passing plays every game so you might not want to automatically write off Fitzgerald and Boldin.  But if your receiver rotation is deep, try going with other guys.

Deuce McAllister.  All of the Saints really belong in this category until they get rolling.  If you have reliable backups, you might as well use them instead of McAllister, Drew Brees, and Reggie Bush.  The Titans are good enough that even if the Saints play well, they will not have a blockbuster 41-point game.  Tennessee also has the seventh-best run defense in the league and is very physical upfront.  McAllister is a physical runner, but nothing that has happened yet that indicates the Saints are ready to outmuscle anybody.

Matt Schaub.  Don't be too quick to stick Schaub in the lineup, even after what he has done in the first two weeks.  Without star WR Andre Johnson, Schaub's options will be much more limited.  TE Owen Daniels stands to benefit the most and either WR Jacoby Jones or Kevin Walter needs to step up.  Against an aggressive, playmaking Colts defense, that is a thin cast to lean on.

Brandon Stokley.  He is way down the list of realistic options, but if you're desperate, you're desperate.  Stokley has one of the Broncos' two TD catches and looks like he is turning into QB Jay Cutler's safety option.  All six of Stokley's receptions have gone for first downs and the Broncos are frequently playing from behind.  Expect another tight, low-scoring game this week against the Jaguars, which sets up for Stokley to repeat what he has done so far.
