Let the obvious ring through: Everything the Patriots, Colts and Cowboys touch this season seems to turn to gold. The Chargers might have just joined the club, too.
Their systems are sound and clicking. How else can you explain Kenton Keith going for 121 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts against a great Buccaneers defense?
Fantasy juggernauts of last season, such as the Saints, Rams and even the Broncos, everything they touch is starting to mold.
It’s fish-or-cut-bait time, folks. Time to swing some trades, stop the bleeding or look for depth.
Looking for love in Week 6? At quarterback, how about Damon Huard (Chiefs) against Cincinnati, or a healthy Steve McNair (Ravens) vs. St. Louis? Scraping lower, you might consider Jeff Garcia (Bucs) and – gasp – Joey Harrington (Falcons) or Brian Griese (Bears). If available, the best discount running backs look to be Michael Pittman (Bucs) and Fred Taylor (Jags), while receivers James Jones (Packers) and Bobby Engram (Seahawks) could have good production.
