Favre @ Cinci, Brunell vs NY Ginats.

Mark Brunell has silenced his critics (and Patrick Ramsey's supporters) with his play this year. He stands at #3 overall amongst fantasy QBs with 116/198 for 1492 yards, 12 TDs and only 2 interceptions so far, and has tossed 68/114 for 905 yards, 8 TDs and 0 interceptions over the past 3 weeks, including his 13/20 for 252 yards, 3 TDs and 0 interceptions performance last week. He's nuclear hot right now, folks. So is Santana Moss - 5/112/1 receiving last week; 23/401/3 over the past 3 weeks; 38/743/5 this season - he's the top fantasy WR this year. RB Mike Sellers has quietly snarfed up 4 TD passes to date, including 2/21/2 last week vs. San Francisco - he's been involved around the goal line quite a bit this year and might be a decent addition in a basic scoring league.
This week, the Redskins division rival lurks awaiting their arrival at Giants' Stadium. However, the Giants' pass defense is not very good (CB William Peterson keeps missing games due to his bad back), ranking 31st in the NFL allowing an average of 295.8 passing yards per game, with 9 TDs surrendered to date. Last week, Jake Plummer hit them for less, 18/29 for 194 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions but the Broncos rushed for 33/191/1 - Denver didn't need to pass a lot. Over the past 3 weeks, the Giants have averaged 243.5 passing yards allowed per game (2 games, with 312 given up to Drew Bledsoe two weeks ago) - they just aren't very tough in this phase of the game.
Brunell is super hot, the Giants are very giving week in and week out - advantage, Washington.
