Wow! This has been our biggest Ask the Geeks week yet, so let's keep it going...

Brandon's take: Although you most likely spent a top 5 pick on him, I think you might want to bench Frank Gore this week. Addai is a no brainer to start. Kevin Jones has improved each week since returning from injury and goes against a terrible Denver rush defense this week (I've also projected him as a "stud" this week). The final decision is really between Barber and Gore. Barber proved that he can run against even a good rush defense two weeks ago when he almost hit 100 yards against Minnesota and should do well again this week. Gore on the other hand could potentially not even play this week with an ankle injury, but if he does I wouldn't expect all that great numbers anyways.

Looks like the writing may be on the wall for Marvin Harrison's status as a top fantasy wide receiver. Teammate Reggie Wayne has taken his place as the deadliest weapon in Peyton Manning's arsenal, and now ESPN is reporting that doctors have told Harrison "his knee pain is likely to persist through the remainder of the season and perhaps for the rest of his career."

Obligatory explanatory introduction for the uninitiated: If you haven’t seen my previous “shocker” posts, my definition of a fantasy shocker is a player who comes out of relatively nowhere, has a gigantic, multi-touchdown game, becomes the hottest waiver commodity the following week, and then soon sinks back into the relative obscurity from whence he came.

Matt's take: The Pats may have one of the toughest rushing defenses in the league, so Addai's not as strong a play as he normally is. But look at who McGahee's up against - the Steelers' even-tougher rushing defense. Starting a lesser RB against a better rush D makes zero sense.

In case you missed this video on TV or the internet the past few days, I figured we should share it with our readers. Luckily the girl is not hurt, but WOW...what was she thinking?!

Looks like I'm back to my winning ways, going 15-5-8 with my studs and duds picks last week. LenDale White, Brandon Jacobs and Reggie Brown validated their "stud" designations, but the Brian Griese and DeShaun Wynn picks didn't work out so well. Vinny Testeverde, Quinn Gray, and most of the Oakland backfield backed up my "duds" argument as well. With most of the focus this week being on the Patriots-Colts game, I have to imagine that nearly all offensive players in that game will have a successful afternoon, but here are some suggestions that incorporate some of the less glorious games of the weekend...

Brandon and I drafted a team in a competition among fantasy sports bloggers hosted by Draftmix.com. It was a one-week "league," with 12 teams. We had the second pick and snagged LT, who did surprisingly little against Houston, but that wasn't a problem thanks to big games from some of our other picks: Joseph Addai (109 yards, 3 TDs), Reggie Wayne (168 yards, 1 TD), Hines Ward (88 yards, 2 TDs), and Philip Rivers (3 TDs).
