Brandon's off to St Maarten to visit a college buddy of ours (I wasn't invited, but that's cool, really, no hard feelings at all, I mean I'm married and they know I probably wouldn't go anyway, so you know, it's not like I even really wanted to be asked, nah it's totally cool), so I'm flying solo on this edition of ATG. Luckily for my lazy ass, we got most of this week's questions out of the way in Part 1, so I've just got one to respond to now.

I will be leaving to head to St. Maarten this weekend, so Matt will have to hold down the blogging for a few days. However, before I leave, I figured I'd post a few quick thoughts on players that on paper look like they should have solid games this week, as well as players that look like they should struggle. You may wish to start or sit players on your team accordingly, if possible.

I wrote my first "shockers" post last week, when I predicted big games for Anthony Gonzalez, Devery Henderson, Gus Frerotte, Demetrius Williams, and Lee Evans. Evans and Williams were busts, but the first three all did surprisingly (shockingly, you might say) well, as I've already humbly pointed out. None of them, though, met my description of a true fantasy "shocker" performance, which I said happens when a "player comes out of relatively nowhere, has a gigantic, multiple-touchdown game, becomes the league’s hottest waiver or trade commodity, and then generally sinks back to his normal level of production the following week."

LenDale White, RB, TEN: In bigger leagues, both White and Chris Brown are worth holding on to, but in smaller leagues, White's quickly becoming expendable. He's averaging 3.4 yards per carry (compared to Brown's 5.3), he lost a fumble in the last game, and, worst of all for White, Brown got the call on a goal-line play - and scored. If, as it now appears, White isn't the sole goal-line option, he's got very little upside.

Today the Arizona Cardinals announced that they will place starting QB Matt Leinart on the Injured Reserve list, after suffering a broken collarbone this past weekend. This means that you should immediately jump on the chance to pick up Kurt Warner in your fantasy leagues. In limited playing time, Warner has produced well, throwing for at least one touch down in each game he's played in, as well as rushing for a touchdown. Once he gets the second half of his star receiving duo back (Boldin could return this weekend), expect pretty solid numbers from the 36 year old veteran.

Wow. That's all I can say after watching last nights game between the Bills and Cowboys. While predicted to be one of the more lopsided contests of the season, that game proved to most likely be one of the best games of the year. How can Romo play SOOO bad and his team still win? I guess only Bills fans can answer that one. Anyhow, here are your waiver wire pickups, keeper sleepers and spot starts for Week 6. I've added a quick review of the teams that are on a BYE this week for your reference (and will continue to do so for the next few weeks) at the top as well.

I'm feeling pretty good about my "shockers post" at the moment. A quick recap of what the five guys I thought would break out with big games did:

I've been starting him since week 3, and to be honest, this was the do-or-die week before I gave up until further notice. Forget about that now. I'd like to see more than 4 catches, but 57 yards is A-OK for a non-Gates TE, and I'm pretty confident we'll be seeing plenty more of Olsen in the end zone.

A: Because if you did, you'd get to spend the next week with a coach who thinks this is a smile:
