Ask yourself: Why do you play this maddening game?

Go figure. The Colts, Cowboys and Packers did it all Sunday, while the Rams, Chargers and Broncos have turned into fantasy punching bags.

Patrick Crayton (seven catches, 184 yards, two touchdowns) had a monster game, but does that mean he’s going to develop into the target the Cowboys had last year with Terry Glenn?

Rookie receiver Dwayne Bowe (Chiefs) is emerging and Andre Davis (Texans) could be a good grab with Houston’s injury crisis.

Steve Smith (Panthers) had a forgettable Sunday for the second consecutive week, and Frank Gore (49ers) was held to fewer than 100 yards again as San Fran got worse without Alex Smith.

Cruising the waiver wire for Week 5: Jason Campbell (Redskins), David Garrard (Jaguars), Jeff Garcia (Buccaneers), James Jones (Packers), Isaac Bruce (Rams) if he practices this week, Brian Leonard (Rams) if Steven Jackson remains out, Earnest Graham (Buccaneers) and Ahman Green (Texans) if he gets healthy.
