Here are some NFL players to play and a few to sit during your Fantasy Football match-up this weekend.

Play ‘em

Pittsburgh Defense: The Steelers enter Sunday’s contest against the Cardinals allowing about eight points per game on defense. The Steelers also enter the game with the second best overall defense in the NFL. Arizona’s Matt Leinart struggled against the Baltimore defense and Edgerrin James could not get in gear in the running game all day last Sunday. After Sunday, Cardinal’s coach Ken Whisenhunt said that Leinart would remain the starting quarterback, according to NFL.com. However, he obviously will struggle against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Thomas Jones, New York Jets running back: Buffalo has allowed at least 100 rushing yards to every starting running back it has faced this year. Jones is coming off his best performance of the season in a victory against Miami. Jones rushed for 110 yards on 25 carries in that game. The Bills may actually put up some offense on Sunday, but their defense will not be able to stop Jones.

Randy Moss, New England wide receiver: The rejuvenated Moss has looked great in the Patriots’ offense. Moss has had more than 100 receiving yards and one touchdown catch in each game so far this season. In the big Monday night game this week, the Patriots will face a Cincinnati defense that is 19th in passing defense and 29th in overall defense. Moss should burn the Cincinnati secondary all night long.

Tony Romo, Dallas quarterback: Last year’s season-ending mishandled field goal snap must have haunted the Cowboys quarterback throughout the off-season. Romo shows no signs of remembering that moment. He has led the Cowboys to a record of three wins and zero losses. The Cowboys’ passing offense is fifth in the NFL, and their total offense is second only to the Patriots. The Cowboys will take on a victoryless Rams team on Sunday that has been decimated by injuries, and Romo should have a big day.

Sit ‘em

Any Green Bay running back: The Packers have enough trouble figuring out who will carry the load in their backfield on any given Sunday, but this week they will face a Minnesota defense that is third in rushing defense in the NFL. Packers Brandon Jackson, DeShawn Wynn and Vernand Morency — if healthy — will be in for a long day on Sunday and should see a lot of purple helmets from a turf-level view during the game.

Jay Cutler, Denver quarterback: Cutler has had mixed results so far this season. He has thrown for 795 yards, but he has also thrown four interceptions to only three touchdowns. The Broncos will face the Colts’ eighth-rated passing defense on Sunday, and the young quarterback will face a tough test. Granted, the Broncos are not a pass-happy team, Cutler could have limited production on Sunday.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Cincinnati wide receiver: The Bengals will face the NFL’s top-ranked defense on Sunday. The Patriots’ defense resembles a stone wall in that they let no player get by the line of scrimmage. The Patriots are second in passing defense, so the highly touted Bengals receiver might struggle. Houshmandzadeh will be under the spotlight on Monday night, but he will have a tough time getting anything going on offense.

St. Louis defense: The Rams go into Dallas on Sunday to face the Cowboys, who have the second highest total offense in the NFL. The Rams failed to move the ball against the Buccaneers defense, and if they fail to do so against the Cowboys, their defense will fatigue quickly. It does not help that St. Louis has suffered so many injuries so early this year. The Cowboys should roll over a weak Rams defense.
