Halloween is a little more than a month away, but it’s never too soon to start thinking about your next disguise.
Sure, by day you’re slaving behind a desk, singing to yourself during rush hour and eating lunch in a padded cell, er, cubicle, but on the weekends you’re a fantasy warrior.
Consider Brett Favre. After floundering last week in a game few expected the Jets to win, he throws on the blue-and-gold of the old school and tosses a career-high six touchdowns against the Cardinals. Bulletin: The Cardinals’ schedule gets really ugly, so take matchups against them now.
Larry Johnson? He was complaining about his job until the Broncos showed up just in time to help him slip into his Superman tights.
Speaking of heroes, where did Saints receiver Lance Moore come from? Hint: Holy Toledo! He could be a good pickup (until the Saints get healthy) as it seems Drew Brees can make anyone look great.
Week 5’s start them and bet the house: Adrian Peterson, right, Matt Forte, Peyton Manning and Earnest Graham. Looking scary: Reggie Bush, Jon Kitna, Frank Gore and Matt Hasselbeck.
