Predicted Score: Saints 21, Titans 20

Tennessee: The Titans are a leading the league in rushing and closely resemble the 2006 Atlanta Falcons with a two-pronged rushing attack and a fleet-footed QB. Look for them to exploit a Saints defense, which ranks 27th overall and has given up an average of 18 Fpts per game to opposing running backs. The Titans passing game should signs of improvement during the fourth quarter of last week's loss to the Colts but remains stagnant overall. Brandon Jones, Roydell Williams, and Eric Moulds should be avoided as fantasy plays.

• Start: QB Vince Young
• Consider: RB LenDale White, RB Chris Brown, TE Bo Scaife, Titans D/ST
• Sit: WR Brandon Jones, TE Ben Troupe, WR Roydell Williams, WR Eric Moulds

New Orleans: The Saints get their home opener on Monday against what I think is a 2007 playoff team the Tennessee Titans. After a couple ho-hum performances (some might even say embarrassing) the Saints will have a tough time rebounding against a rising defense but facing the possibility of a 0-3 start should be enough motivation to bring out their "A" game and they'll need it. The Saints have struggled running the ball especially Reggie Bush who is averaging a mediocre 3.0 yds per carry. Drew Brees has completed 63% of his passes but only has 1 TD to go along with 3 picks. WR Devery Henderson was benched last week for poor play but is expected to be in the starting lineup Monday night. A note to the Monday night crew (because I know you're reading) let's keep the refrences to the 2005 National Championship game to a minimum. Thank you.

• Start: QB Drew Brees, RB Deuce McAllister, RB Reggie Bush, WR Marques Colston, TE Eric Johnson
• Consider: WR David Patten WR Devery Henderson, K Olindo Mare
• Sit: TE Mark Campbell
