START
It’s been nothing but bad news for Travis Henry lately, but finally here’s something to get excited about: His drug suspension appeal hearing has been pushed back, he’s probable this week, and he’s playing the Lions. I see him and Denver having a big day on offense.
On defense, it’s a different story for the Broncos. The Lions’ Kevin Jones is in a groove (105 yards last week, four TDs in past five games), and Denver’s downtrodden run D won’t be able to stop him.
Can’t believe I’m saying this after how he looked at the start of the year, but Lee Evans is sizzling right now (236 yards, two TDs in his past two games) and could hook up with buddy JP Losman for a bomb or two against the Bengals.
SIT
I find it hard to justify starting a WR a week after he had zero catches, so I’d hesitate to play Vincent Jackson. Granted, the Chargers probably won’t have a lot of trouble passing on the Vikings, but you saw what happened last Sunday. Jackson’s fourth in the pecking order behind LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates and Chris Chambers.
Frank Gore has been a shell of his ’06 self, and when you factor in his gimpy ankle and his status as a game-time decision, you might want to look elsewhere, even though Atlanta is a pretty appetizing foe.
DeShaun Foster has been getting right around 60 yards a game lately, and although he scored last week, the Titans, owners of the NFL’s top-ranked rushing defense, haven’t allowed a TD on the ground since Reggie Bush scored twice in Week 3.

Hey keep picking players who play against the Lions!!! If you promise to keep doing that the Lions are going to be Super Bowl bound!!
No problem! Let's face it, they've had their share of defensive struggles this year (see: Eagles 56, Lions 21), but this was a pretty big statement against Denver. Of course it doesn't reflect very well on the Broncos' O, but if the Lions keep playing like this I'll be happy to adjust my recommendations accordingly.
