Week 2 Passing Matchups

by Mark Wimer and Joe Bryant, Exclusive to Footballguys.com

[ARI] [ATL] [BAL] [BUF] [CAR] [CHI] [CIN] [CLE] [DAL] [DEN] [DET] [GB] [HOU] [IND] [JAX] [KC] [MIA] [MIN] [NE] [NO] [NYG] [NYJ] [OAK] [PHI] [PIT] [SD] [SEA] [SF] [STL] [TB] [TEN] [WAS]

PLEASE NOTE: This does NOT replace the Cheatsheet ranking. The Cheatsheet rankings are the final say on where we see a player for that week. The Matchup Breakdowns are simply one more tool in the box when it comes to helping choose your lineup.

Also note, just because a player has a "bad" matchup, it does NOT mean he's not a starter in your league. If Peyton Manning is playing the toughest pass defense in the league, that just means he's got a tough matchup that week. He's also your starter unless you're loaded at QB. In the same way, if the worst QB on your roster has a "great" matchup that week, it doesn't necessarily mean he's your starter. It means we think he'll fare better than normal that week.

Bottom line is that the cheatsheets are the final say.

Green Bay Packers Passing Offense at Detroit Lions Passing Defense (Great Matchup)

Aaron Rodgers was very productive against the Vikings in week 1, with 18/22 for 178 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions passing and 8/35/1 receiving. He made great decisions with the ball and looked in command of the offense at all times. Greg Jennings led the Packers' receivers with 5/91/0; Donald Driver was 2nd during the game with 4/38/1 - FB Korey Hall caught the TD pass (1/1/1). Rodgers is making Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy look pretty smart as of week 2, folks.

The Lions' pass D was awful during 2007, averaging 258.2 yards allowed per game (31st in the NFL) and tied for dead last in the league with 32 passing scores allowed. They can bring a pass rush to bear, notching 37 sacks last year (in the middle of the NFL pack), but they only managed 1 sack against Matt Ryan last week (a rookie in his first NFL start). The rush D was absolutely terrible last week (318 yards and 3 TDs given up), so the pass D wasn't challenged much, but they still handed over 9/13 for 161 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions to Ryan (a 69% completion rate). The Lions defense is a train wreck in motion entering week 2, folks.

The Packers have a great matchup to work with this week - start your Packers if you've got 'em.

Weather: Inside Ford Field the weather won't affect either team.

The official NFL injury report with Probable, Questionable, Doubtful and Out designations will be available by Saturday. Please refer to the week 2 injury report for the latest injury news regarding your players.

New York Giants Passing Offense at St. Louis Rams Passing Defense (Great Matchup)

Eli Manning (19/35 for 216 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception vs. Washington) was practically automatic with Plaxico Burress in week 1 (10/133/0 receiving). Nobody else on the team caught more than 2 balls - Sinorice Moss was second in yardage with 1/23/0 during the first game. The Giants have a solid rushing attack and a productive passing attack - they'll be tough to defense this year.

The Rams field a horrid pass D this year, evidently, coughing up 26/39 for 414 yards, 3 TDs and 0 interceptions to Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb last week during a 38-3 drubbing at the hands of the Eagles. They were weak last year too, averaging 225.8 net passing yards allowed per game (21st in the NFL); with 25 passing scores given up last year (tied for 22nd in the NFL). Giving up 400+ passing yards in a game is really just beyond embarrassing - it looks like St. Louis is in serious trouble as of week 2.

Manning and Burress should be licking their chops looking forward to this game. Advantage, New York.

Weather: Inside the Edward Jones Dome, weather won't be an issue for either team.

Pittsburgh Steelers Passing Offense at Cleveland Browns Passing Defense (Great Matchup)

While Willie Parker crammed in 3 rushing TDs and battered Houston on the ground, Ben Roethlisberger calmly threw for a 92.8% completion rate (13/14 for 137 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions) and contributed 2 passing TDs to Hines Ward (6/76/2) to the effort. Frankly, Pittsburgh made it look easy on Sunday, moving the ball at will and passing when they felt like it. Heath Miller (3/26/0) and Santonio Holmes (2/19/0) were 2nd and 3rd on the team in receptions. Pittsburgh's offense is going full bore as of week 2, folks.

The Browns' pass D was among the bottom 10 units in the NFL during 2007, allowing an average of 230.1 yards per game. They also handed over 29 passing TDs last year (29th in the NFL). They tied for 26th in the NFL with a mere 28 QB sacks to their credit, and started off 2008 with 0 sacks vs. Dallas. Tony Romo lit them up for 24/32 for 320 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception - Cleveland was thoroughly beaten in all phases of the game last week.

This is a great matchup for the streaking Steelers.

Weather: Cleveland Browns Stadium expects a high of 74F with a low of 63F on Sunday - but there is a 40% chance of rain. If the rain pours down in buckets at game time, footing and ball handling will be larger issues than usual for both teams.

Arizona Cardinals Passing Offense vs Miami Dolphins Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Kurt Warner was adequate in the game vs. San Francisco, posting 19/30 for 176 net yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions during the season opener. Anquan Boldin was his favorite last week, with 11 targets for 8/82/0 during the game, while Steve Breaston was second with 6 for 3/54/0. However, Larry Fitzgerald grabbed the TD pass with 4 targets for 3/31/1 during the game. TE Leonard Pope had just a single grab for 5 yards. It wasn't the most explosive fantasy outing ever by Warner, but he did a good job moving the chains and chalking up a "W" for the Cardinals.

The Dolphins were 4th among NFL pass defenses last year in yards allowed per game (188.7), but ranked 28th in passing TDs given up (with 28 handed over). They were also among the weakest teams in pass rushing, with only 30 sacks to their credit during 2007. Brodie Croyle and company struggled vs. the Miami secondary in the 3rd preseason game, posting only 16/33 for 99 yards, 0 TDs and 3 interceptions (with 5 sacks to the Dolphins' credit). Brett Favre had better results against the Dolphins in the season opener, with 15/22 for 181 net yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions. As you can see, that is about par for the course compared to last season - not a lot of yards, but a fairly hefty number of passing scores were allowed.

Warner played fairly well in the season opener, while the Dolphins were pretty much their usual selves. At home in Arizona, this looks like a good matchup for the home team (especially in the TD department).

Weather: The forecast for University of Phoenix Stadium calls for a high of 103F on Sunday (low of 76F that evening) with a 10% chance for rain. In heat that oppressive, it's likely that the retractable roof will be closed. Weather shouldn't play a huge role in this game unless the roof is open, in which case hydration will be of great importance and cramps are likely to afflict both teams.

Baltimore Ravens Passing Offense at Houston Texans Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Joe Flacco gave the Ravens exactly what they needed last week - a steady effort with few mistakes (15/29 for 129 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions, with 4/37/1 rushing to his credit). As expected, with the passing attack in the hands of a rookie during his first NFL start, none of the Ravens' receivers were exciting from the fantasy perspective (Derrick Mason led the way with 4/44/0). Look for a lot more of the same this week (last week the Ravens rushed the ball 46 times and threw it 29).

The Texans were 24th in the NFL last year in passing yards allowed per game (230.1) and coughed up 25 pass TDs (tied for 22nd in the NFL). Against the Cowboys in the third exhibition, Tony Romo and Brad Johnson combined for 24/32 for 273 net yards, 1 TD and 1 interception vs Houston. Last week, Ben Roethlisberger only needed 14 passes (he completed 13 of them) to notch 2 TDs (13/14 for 137 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions). The Texans were humiliated 38-17 (they were down 35-3 starting the 4th quarter - this one was never close at all).

Flacco has a good matchup to work with, but don't expect a lot of aerial fireworks and you won't be disappointed - Baltimore will likely keep things basic again in this game.

Weather: The forecast for Reliant Stadium calls for a high of 83F with a low of 67F and a 60% chance for rain. If the weather is stormy, the retractable roof will be closed - weather shouldn't play a big role in this contest.

Denver Broncos Passing Offense vs San Diego Chargers Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Jay Cutler made things look easy on Monday Night Football, blowing up the Raiders' top-10 pass D for 16/24 for 299 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions without his #1 WR, Brandon Marshall. Eddie Royal came up big in his NFL debut (9/146/1 receiving) and Tony Scheffler (1/72/0) and Darrell Jackson (1/48/1) added long-gainers to the mix. Cutler looks poised to make his fantasy owners very happy, especially now that the nearly "uncoverable" Marshall will be in the patterns on Sunday.

Last season, the Chargers were mediocre at defending vs. the pass, averaging 213.3 yards allowed per game (14th in the NFL) and tied for 11th in the league by giving up 20 passing TDs. However, they were very good at rushing the passer, notching 42 sacks last season (5th in the NFL) - the loss of LB Shawne Merriman for the season may slow down this aspect of the defense, though (the team had but a single sack vs. Carolina in week 1). Jake Delhomme fought through the Chargers' D to post 23/41 for 246 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions during the game on Sunday. The Chargers' defenders gave up the winning TD pass with 0 seconds on the clock in the 4th quarter, which was a very deflating way to lose a game.

Denver is on a roll in this phase of the game, while the Chargers are backpedaling - advantage, Denver.

Weather: Mile High Stadium expects a high of 72F with a low of 50F and a 20% chance of rain on Sunday - it should be a great day to play some football up near the Rockies.

Indianapolis Colts Passing Offense at Minnesota Vikings Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Peyton Manning showed the rust in week 1, managing just a single TD pass (30/49 for 257 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions) out of 49 passes. The usual suspects handled most of the completions - Reggie Wayne racked up 10/86/1; Marvin Harrison garnered 8/76/0; Anthony Gonzalez grabbed 5/48/0. Dallas Clark tweaked a knee early on in the contest - something to monitor in Clayton Gray's players in the news later on in the week - and ended up on the sidelines in street clothes after only 1/8/0. On Wednesday Coach Dungy commented on Clark's status "We'll see where he is. Hopefully, he can get some work in [Thursday]. We're still hopeful, but beyond that, it's probably too early to say." These weren't the Colts that fantasy owners have come to revere and admire in year's past, although they showed some flashes of their usual selves.

The Vikings were last in the NFL in pass yards allowed per game (264.1) during 2007, while running in the middle of the NFL pack with 22 passing TDs given up (15th in the NFL). They were in the top 10 last year with 38 QB sacks - but the Colts don't allow many of those (2 were given up last week - last year they handed over 28). Aaron Rodgers threw for 18/22 for 178 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions last week - less yardage than usual against Minnesota, but enough to notch a "W" for the Packers. The Vikings were half-decent against the Packers, but they were far from shutting down their rivals.

Two units trying to define themselves meet in this contest. Given Manning's array of weapons and the Vikings' past performances, we think the Colts have an edge over their opponents this week.

Weather: Inside the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome weather won't be an issue for either team.

Kansas City Chiefs Passing Offense vs Oakland Raiders Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Brodie Croyle was injured when Jamaal Charles blew a block, and ended up with a shoulder injury on Sunday. Enter Damon Huard, who actually led the team down the field (8/12 for 118 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception) and generated a TD, both things that Croyle couldn't do. Dwayne Bowe needs to catch more of the balls that come his way (he dropped a sure TD and only snagged 5/49/1 out of 13 chances). Tony Gonzalez was next on the team with 7 targets for 6/55/0 - he needs to teach Bowe how to hang onto the ball! With Huard in the saddle from the get-go on Sunday, hopefully the Chiefs' passing attack will have more life.

The Raiders got destroyed by Denver on Monday Night Football, allowing 16/25 for 299 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions. New DB DeAngelo Hall should have been wearing a Broncos' uniform as he single-handedly helped them drive down the field with multiple personal foul infractions. Assignments were blown. 0 sacks were recorded. You get the picture.

Huard and company have a good matchup at home this week, despite the Raiders' solid rep from 2007. Oakland is disintegrating already and it doesn't look pretty at all.

Weather: Arrowhead Stadium expects a high of 66F with a low of 55F and a 30% chance of rain. If the sky opens up at game time, footing and ball handling will become trickier than usual for both teams.

New Orleans Saints Passing Offense at Washington Redskins Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Drew Brees and company exploded in week 1, racking up 23/32 for 343 yards, 3 TDs and 1 interception. Devery Henderson was the most-productive receiver, with 1/84/1 out of 2 targets, while Jeremy Shockey caught every ball that came his way (6 for 6/54/0). David Patten (1/39/1) and Reggie Bush (8/112/1) accounted for the other TDs - Marques Colston had a quiet game with 3/26/0. It was revealed on Wednesday that he tore a ligament in his left thumb and has undergone surgery to repair his digit - he'll be out 4-6 weeks. It's likely that Patten and Henderson will become the starters, with Robert Meachem (inactive in week 1) stepping into the #3 role until Colston can get back in the action. Even with the loss of Colston, this unit is on quite a roll entering week 2.

The Redskins handed over 19/35 for 200 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception to Eli Manning on Thursday - Plaxico Burress ran free in their secondary all night long (10/133/0). Washington averaged 214 passing yards allowed per game last year (16th). They handed over 20 passing TDs (tied for 11th in the league), while racking up 33 sacks (they got 2 sacks on Manning last week, right on the Redskins' usual pace). This unit is neither great nor horrid - they are in the middle of the NFL in the categories that matter to fantasy owners.

Brees' team took a loss due to Colston's injury, but they have a well-stocked stable of receivers in New Orleans. With the mediocre Redskins awaiting New Orleans in FedEx Field, we think the visitors have an edge this week. Jeremy Shockey can certainly fill in the Saints on where to look for Washington's weaknesses...

Weather: FedEx Field expects a high of 80F with a low of 66F on Sunday, and a 50% chance of rain is forecast. If the rain comes down thickly at game time, footing and ball handling will be trickier than usual for both teams.

San Diego Chargers Passing Offense at Denver Broncos Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Philip Rivers had little trouble passing the ball vs. Carolina (especially in the 2nd half), posting 17/27 for 217 yards, 3 TDs and 0 interceptions in the 2-pt loss. Chris Chambers didn't catch enough of the balls that came his way (6 targets for 1/44/1), but he made his one catch count. Antonio Gates snagged 4/61/1 out of 6 opportunities, while Vincent Jackson converted 4 targets into 3/47/1. After the game, Gates commented on how his injured foot felt: "I don't want to do anything to jeopardize this team. I don't want to be out in the game and not be able to perform or give all I have. I think at this point right now we'll just see how it goes and how I feel [whether he'll play next week]." Gates added that his "explosion off the ball is limited" and he cannot cut as sharply as he is used to doing. Keep an eye on his practice status later in the week as he goes through the reaction to 60 minutes of pounding on his injured appendage this week.

The Broncos' pass D was mediocre last year, ranking 7th in the NFL in yards allowed per game (193.4), but 22nd in the league with 25 passing scores handed over. They were in the middle of the pack with 33 sacks generated, and against the Raiders on opening weekend, Denver posted 2 sacks to start off the year (right on pace for this team). JaMarcus Russell was shut down until the game was out of reach (27-0 Denver at the end of the 3rd quarter on the way to 41-14) - Russell did throw 2 late scores to make his numbers respectable (17/26 for 180 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions) but he didn't dominate the Broncos' defenders.

Rivers and company got in a groove by the time the game was over last week - meanwhile, the Broncos played well against a suspect Oakland team for 3 of 4 quarters. On balance, this looks like a good matchup for Rivers, who will represent more of a test for Denver than the Raiders were able to bring to the season opener.

Weather: Mile High Stadium expects a high of 72F with a low of 50F and a 20% chance of rain on Sunday - it should be a great day to play some football up near the Rockies.

San Francisco 49ers Passing Offense at Seattle Seahawks Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

The San Francisco 49ers have announced that QB Alex Smith will be placed on injured reserve, thus ending his season - he fractured his throwing shoulder in practice last Friday and he'll have to rehab that injury rather than hold a clip board for J.T. O'Sullivan during 2008. For now, that means the Shaun Hill is the backup to O'Sullivan, but the team has signed Jamie Martin to step into the mix as well.

Last week, O'Sullivan managed to pass 14/20 for 195 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception in his debut. Frank Gore (4 targets for 4/55/0) and Vernon Davis (3 for 3/51/0) caught every ball that came their way, while Bryant Johnson snagged 3/48/0 out of 5 chances. Isaac Bruce was not targeted during the game at all. With no TDs on the board for O'Sullivan, it wasn't a great week to be invested in the 49ers attack, but the potential for Davis and Johnson can be seen in their response to limited chances.

Seattle got rocked for 20/31 for 232 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions during the game vs. Buffalo (1 of the TD passes came on special teams, though). Last year, the Seahawks were 19th in the NFL averaging 219.1 passing yards allowed per game, with only 15 passing TDs given up (1st in the NFL) - they were 4th in the NFL with 45 sacks to their credit as well. However, they were more generous with the points and not as strong in the sack department last week (only 1 sack so far this year).

San Francisco needs to turn it up a notch - against the backsliding Seahawks, they have a decent shot at a solid game.

Weather: The forecast for Qwest Field doesn't include rain! The weather service calls for a high of 75F on game day with a low of 58F and a 10% chance of precipitation. Enjoy the rare sunny day, Seahawks fans (if the forecast holds up).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Passing Offense vs Atlanta Falcons Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Despite the perception that Jon Gruden was feeling annoyed with Joey Galloway during the preseason, when the rubber hit the road Galloway led the Bucs far-and-away in targets (with 13 for 6/56/0 to his credit). Ike Hilliard caught every ball that came his way last week (6 for 6/45/1), while Antonio Bryant was a valuable 3rd option (8 targets for 3/43/1). The Tampa receiving corps is old but playing well entering week 2. The team is concerned with Jeff Garcia's status as of early in the week, though (he threw for 24/41 for 206 net yards, 1 TD and 1 interception in the season opener) due to swelling in one of his ankles early in the week. Whether the ankle or some other problem is affecting Garcia's play, he's benched for week 2 as of Wednesday. "I'm a pretty good judge of Jeff Garcia and I'm a big believer in him," coach Jon Gruden said in explaining the move. "I just believe that right now, what we're seeing is not what Jeff Garcia is capable of doing. Right now he's not the same guy that he was. So until I see the ball thrown with the crisp, accurate velocity, the confident swagger that we're used to seeing, we're going to let him sit out." Enter Brian Griese, who last led Chicago (7 games last year, with 161/262 for 1803 yards, 10 TDs and 12 interceptions).

The Falcons were in the bottom tier of NFL pass defenses last year, averaging 228.4 passing yards allowed per game (23rd) and coughing up 27 passing scores (tied for 26th in the NFL). Despite having John Abraham (10 sacks) all season last year, the team's pass rush never got really revved up (25 sacks, 30th in the NFL). Last week against the Lions, Atlanta generated 3 sacks (all 3 by the afore-mentioned Abraham), while handing over 24/33 for 246 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception to Jon Kitna and company. As you can see, teams will tend to attack the Falcons in this area until/unless they prove that they've improved. So far, we haven't seen much improvement over 2007.

At home, Griese has a good matchup to work with while shaking off the rust during week 2.

Weather: Raymond James Stadium expects a high of 88F on Sunday (with a low around 77F) and a 30% chance of rain. It'll be hot and humid in any case, which means proper hydration will be of prime importance to both teams, and cramps a likely problem for players who don't pay attention to hydration. If the sky opens up at game time, footing and ball handling could be bigger issues than usual for both teams.

Tennessee Titans Passing Offense at Cincinnati Bengals Passing Defense (Good Matchup)

Vince Young is out for 2-4 weeks with a knee injury (partially torn MCL), and some strange incidents ensued on Monday when coach Fisher called to ask the police to help him locate Young, who was behaving in a disturbed manner. It appears that the Titans could be preparing to move on without him. They've brought Chris Simms into the fold.

This is the backdrop against which Kerry Collins will take the reins after a 2/2 for 65 yard showing vs. Jacksonville (setting up the LenDale White TD). We'll see if Collins continues the trend of favoring TE Bo Scaife over all others (Scaife racked up 6/105/0 during the contest last week). Justin Gage chipped in 2/25/0 as the leading WR on the day. Alge Crumpler was very quiet in his regular season debut as a Titan, with 1/4/0 to his credit.

The Bengals handed over 313 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception to the Saints in the 3rd preseason game, allowing 14/22 for 199 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions to Drew Brees and the first team - and they followed up on the poor play by handing over 15/29 for 129 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions to a rookie in his first NFL start (Joe Flacco). The Bengals couldn't even sack the rookie once. This unit is going nowhere fast, friends.

Collins and company have a good matchup awaiting them in Cincinnati this week.

Weather: Cincinnati's Paul Brown Stadium expects a high temperature of 76F with a low of 62F on Sunday, with a 50% chance for rain. If the storm front dumps a lot of rain on the field at game time, footing and ball handling will become issues for both teams on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills Passing Offense at Jacksonville Jaguars Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Buffalo's Trent Edwards was steady and productive in the season opener, with 19/30 for 215 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions to his credit (there was also a TD pass on special teams last week). Lee Evans was the most-targeted receiver on the team, with 9 for 4/102/0, but Robert Royal was the most reliable, with 6 for 6/52/1. Josh Reed chipped in 3/37/0 in his time on the field. All the pieces seem to be locked into place for Buffalo entering week 2.

Jacksonville was in the top 1/3 of the league with 37 sacks generated last year but they failed to get to Vince Young or Kerry Collins much last week (1 sack). Jacksonville ranked 15th in the league averaging 213.5 pass yards given up per game, with 20 passing scores handed over (tied for 11th in the NFL). They were solid but not outstanding last year. This season, they started off by frustrating Vince Young (12/22 for 110 yards, 1 TD and 2 interceptions) but then coughed up 2/2 for 65 yards to Kerry Collins after he came in the game. In short, they were up-and-down in the season opener - in keeping with their middling rankings from last year.

Edwards and company posted an impressive win in week 1 - they have a decent shot at continuing their streak against the so-so Jaguars this week.

Weather: The forecast for Jacksonville Municipal Stadium calls for a high of 90F with a low of 77F and a 20% chance for rain. In Florida's heat and humidity, proper hydration will be key for both teams, with cramping being a likely problem for players who ignore the hydration issue.

Carolina Panthers Passing Offense vs Chicago Bears Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Jake Delhomme battled all night long against the Chargers, and when the game was on the line with 0 seconds on the clock, he threw the game-winning TD to man-of-the-hour TE Dante Rosario (8 targets for 7/96/1 during the game). Delhomme finished the contest with 23/41 for 247 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions, having targeted Muhsin Muhammad 15 times (6/56/0) and D.J. Hackett 10 times (5/48/0). Without Steve Smith in the fold (as the team will be again this week), Delhomme was able to carry the team to a win. It appears that we need not worry about Delhomme's elbow again this year. Something to keep an eye on, though, is Dante Rosario's foot/ankle which is giving him problems at mid week.

The Bears finished 2007 27th in the NFL averaging 232.3 pass yards allowed per game, with 19 passing TDs allowed (tied for 8th in the NFL). They were 6th in the league with 41 sacks, though, and continued with a strong pass rush in week 1, sacking usually-elusive Peyton Manning twice during the contest. Manning threw for a healthy 30/49 for 240 net yards, but only managed 1 score during the contest. Considering how potent the Colts' passing attack is, Chicago held up fairly well in week 1.

The Panthers are on a roll entering week 2, and they'll have home field advantage at their back. However, the Bears looked solid in week 1, too, and they have a win streak of their own going. This matchup looks pretty even from where we sit.

Weather: Bank of America Stadium expects a high of 88F with a low of 70F on Sunday, and forecasters are calling for a 30% chance of precipitation. If the weather is stormy at game time, footing and ball handling will become larger-than-usual issues for both teams.

Chicago Bears Passing Offense at Carolina Panthers Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Kyle Orton played within his abilities last week, tossing 13/21 for 150 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions while keeping enough of a threat to pass alive that the Bears could drive down the field multiple times. Desmond Clark was his favorite target last week (6 for 2/46/0), while Brandon Lloyd was second (3 for 2/26/0), followed by 3 players with 2 chances each. They were Greg Olsen (2/36/0), Devin Hester (1/7/0) and Rashied Davis (2/10/0). It wasn't flashy, but it got the job done in the real NFL (a victory over Indianapolis for Lovie Smith and company). However, in fantasy terms this was an unexciting way for Orton to start off 2008.

The Panthers were 17th in the NFL last year averaging 214.1 pass yards allowed per game(the team was 31st in the NFL with only 23 sacks to their credit), while giving up a total of 22 passing scores (tied for 15th in the NFL). Last week, Philip Rivers had little trouble throwing against Carolina, especially in the second half, with 17/27 for 211 net yards, 3 TDs and 0 interceptions to his credit (he was only sacked once). Carolina played well for a half, but then regressed to their mediocre ways in the 2nd stanza on Sunday.

Orton and company are methodical and efficient in this phase of the game, while the Panthers are so-so at pass D. This looks like a fairly even matchup to us.

Detroit Lions Passing Offense vs Green Bay Packers Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Jon Kitna rallied his team from a 21-0 deficit through the team strength (passing the ball to Roy Williams, Calvin Johnson and company), and ended up with a respectable fantasy outing in week 1 (24/33 for 262 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception). Considering that the defense handed over 318 yards rushing and 3 rushing TDs to the Falcons (with 156 yards passing and another TD through the air), it looks like the Lions will be in chase mode a lot again this year, which should continue to benefit fantasy owners invested in the Lions' passing attack. Calvin Johnson (7/107/0) and Roy Williams (3/47/1) led the team in receiving, as usual. Casey Fitzsimmons snagged the spare TD (1/1/1).

Green Bay ranked 12th in the NFL last year, averaging 210.4 passing yards allowed per game, with 23 passing TDs given up (tied for 18th in the NFL). They generated 36 sacks during the season, right in the middle of the NFL range from 22-53 - of course, Detroit was the 2nd worst pass-blocking team in the league last year, with 54 sacks allowed. The Lions handed over 3 sacks to Atlanta last week, just off their horrid pace from 2007. Green Bay generated 1 sack of Tarvaris Jackson in week 1, while allowing 16/35 for 168 net yards, 1 TD and 1 interception to the Vikings. Overall, they played solid pass D vs. Minnesota in week 1.

Kitna threw for 41/88 for 470 yards, 2 TDs and 3 interceptions vs. Green Bay last year during regular season (they contained him but didn't shut him down) - this week, he's got a fairly even contest in front of him when the '08 Packers hit town.

Weather: Inside Ford Field the weather won't affect either team.

Houston Texans Passing Offense vs Baltimore Ravens Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Matt Schaub got pushed around by the Steelers' pass D last week, with 25/33 for 159 net yards (202 before sacks), 1 TD and 2 interceptions to his credit by day's end (2/4/1 rushing helped salvage his fantasy outing) - he was sacked a David Carr-esque 5 times during the contest. Andre Johnson was brilliant on the field as usual (10/112/0 receiving) while Kevin Walter snagged 3/41/1 and Owen Daniels logged 3/33/0 - the receivers did what they could to aid Schaub. Hopefully he isn't too banged up after his bad day at the office.

The Ravens' pass D was nothing special last season, with 27 TDs allowed (tied for 26th in the NFL) and an average of 222.3 yards given up per game (20th in the league). However, Ed Reed returned to the field this week, and combined with the Ravens' pass rush (2 sacks) the Baltimore pass D shut down Cincinnati's usually-explosive unit (10/25 for only 89 net yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception). If the Ravens can keep up the solid work in week 2, they will be a force to be reckoned with on Sunday.

Schaub threw the ball around fairly well in the season opener, and will have the home field advantage at his back on Sunday. However, the Ravens are on a big roll in this phase of the game - we think this is a fairly even matchup between quality units.

Philadelphia Eagles Passing Offense at Dallas Cowboys Passing Defense (Neutral Matchup)

Wow, is Donovan McNabb rejuvenated this season or what? He dismantled the Rams in week 1, tossing 21/33 for 361 yards, 3 TDs and 0 interceptions vs. St. Louis, and 3 of his receivers went over 100 yards gained - DeSean Jackson led the team with 6/106/0; Greg Lewis was next with 5/104/0; and Hank Baskett exploded for 2/102/1. TE L.J. Smith was a big part of the effort with 5/39/1 receiving, and Brian Westbrook scored both rushing and receiving TDs (2/1/1 in the receiving department). The Eagles offense is white hot entering this game (they posted a total of 414 passing yards last week).

The Cowboys' pass D was mediocre last year, averaging 213.1 pass yards per game (13th in the NFL), while allowing 19 pass TDs (8th in the NFL). They were 3rd in the NFL with 46 sacks during 2007. Last week against the Browns, the Cowboys did an excellent job shutting down Braylon Edwards (2/14/0) and limited Derek Anderson to a mere 11/24 for 114 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions while sacking him once. So far, the Dallas defense looks improved in this phase of the game.

The Cowboy's defense appeared improved in week 1, but they will have their mettle tested this week by a nuclear-hot Eagles team. We think the Eagles have enough momentum on their side to overcome the Dallas home field advantage - this is an even matchup between top performing teams.

Weather: Texas Stadium expects a low of 61F on Monday (this game is at night, so the temperatures will be close to the cool end of the scale) with a 40% chance of rain. If the rain comes down thickly at game time, footing and ball handling will be larger issues than usual for both teams on Monday Night Football.

Atlanta Falcons Passing Offense at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

Matt Ryan had every QB's dream come true in his first snap in the NFL, hitting Michael Jenkins for a beautiful 62 yard TD - and then the rout was on. Atlanta's backs racked up 318 yards rushing during the dismantling of Detroit, which allowed Ryan to pick-and-choose a few select moments to pass the ball (he ended up with 9/13 for 161 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions). Roddy White was second on the team with 2/54/0 receiving - there weren't many balls in the air, but those that did come out went for big gainers. It was an excellent start to Ryan's career in Atlanta - he looked poised and patient during the game, with little to criticize.

Tampa ranked #1 in passing yards allowed per game last season (170.5) and were 6th in the league with only 18 passing TDs given up - the secondary is definitely a team strength of the Buccaneers most weeks. However, the Saints held their pass rush at bay on Sunday (only 1 sack generated by the Bucs last week) and Drew Brees exploded like the 4th of July during the game, drilling 23/32 for 337 net yards, 3 TDs and only 1 interception in the season opener. Ouch - the Buccaneers allowed double their usual amount of passing yards last week.

Tampa got blown out in this phase of the game last week, while Matt Ryan successfully got his feet wet in the NFL pond. This week, we expect Tampa to be annoyed and with the backing of their vocal fans, this should be a fairly tough place for Ryan to visit. He'll be tested thoroughly in this contest between divisional rivals.

Cleveland Browns Passing Offense vs Pittsburgh Steelers Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

Braylon Edwards said after the loss to Dallas: "I look at how I played, and it was disappointing. I feel like I could have made some plays out there, and that would have given a spark to the team... We were not on the same page," Edwards said of his timing with Derek Anderson. "Obviously, those three games didn't matter [in the standings], but they hurt because I missed the consistent practicing." Edwards managed to grab 2/14/0, a far cry from WR1 type fantasy numbers indeed. Kellen Winslow was the only fantasy player from Cleveland to deliver good stats last week, posting 5/47/1 receiving - Derek Anderson could only muster 11/24 for 114 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions vs. the Cowboys. We'll see if Edwards and Anderson can get on the same page in practices this week.

Pittsburgh's pass D ranked 3rd in the NFL last year, averaging 176.5 yards allowed per game, with 22 passing TDs given up (15th in the NFL). The team was in the middle of the NFL pack with 36 sacks generated - they walloped Houston's Matt Schaub for 5 sacks last week, though, and have come out of the gates very powerful in the pass rushing department. Schaub was intercepted twice and ended the day with 159 net passing yards and only 1 TD to weigh against the 5 sacks. Pittsburgh's defense is pretty fearsome, folks.

Anderson and company struggled to move the ball last week, while the Steelers dominated the Texans' QB - this is going to be a tough matchup for the Browns despite their home field advantage (at least they don't have to try and regroup in Heinz Field).

Dallas Cowboys Passing Offense vs Philadelphia Eagles Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

Tony Romo had all day to pick apart the Browns on Sunday, and he did just that, posting 24/32 for 320 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception (he wasn't sacked at all). The usual suspects led the team in receiving - Jason Witten had 6/96/0 to his credit, and Terrell Owens grabbed 5/87/1 during the game, followed by Patrick Crayton at 6/82/0. It's not a secret how the Cowboys will beat you, but it is hard to do anything that slows down this offense.

The Eagles were 18th in the NFL last year in terms of passing yards allowed (215.6), but second in the league with only 16 passing TDs given up. Matt Cassel, the starter for New England in week 3 of the preseason and going forward this year, could only manage 8/14 for 60 yards and 0 TDs with 0 interceptions in his time with the first team vs. Philly. They continued their strong play on Sunday, destroying St. Louis 38-3 - Marc Bulger could only muster 14/26 for 130 net yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions in the midst of extreme pass pressure (4 sacks by Philly on the day). Philadelphia is sporting a ferocious pass D right now.

The Eagles will bring a lot of pressure to bear vs. Romo on Sunday. Last year, he fared so-so in the face of the Eagles, with 33/61 for 538 yards, 3 TDs and 4 interceptions in their regular season clashes - on balance, this looks like a tough matchup for Romo and company, despite their home field advantage.

Jacksonville Jaguars Passing Offense vs Buffalo Bills Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

David Garrard did what he could to keep Jacksonville in the game on Sunday (23/35 for 215 yards (156 net) with 1 TD and 2 interceptions), but his decimated OL allowed 7 sacks and couldn't open any holes for Fred Taylor or Maurice Jones-Drew. In the end, the pressure was too much for Garrard and his team went home a loser. Matt Jones led the team with 6/80/0 receiving on an otherwise dismal day for the WR corps, while Marcedes Lewis chipped in 3/29/0. All in all, it was a forgettable performance by the Jaguars.

Buffalo's pass D was below average last year, with 238.4 yards allowed per game (29th in the NFL) while limiting pass TDs to 19 (tied for 8th in the league). They were 29th in the NFL with 26 sacks - not impressive - and struggled to bring the heat to opposing QBs. Not any more - last week, Seattle's Matt Hasselbeck was hassled for 5 sacks by the Bills, on the way to his 17/41 for 167 net yards, 1 TD and 1 interception showing. Considering that Jacksonville gave up a league-worst 7 sacks on opening day, this matchup looks pretty ominous for David Garrard, who'll be trying to shelter behind his injury-riddled line on Sunday.

This looks like a tough matchup for the home team, folks.

Miami Dolphins Passing Offense at Arizona Cardinals Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

Chad Pennington fought to the final moments of the season opener, throwing a respectable 26/43 for 228 net yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception in his Dolphins' debut. Anthony Fasano was his best target during the game, with 9 for 8/84/1, while David Martin snagged the other TD (6 for 4/53/1). Ted Ginn looked out of sync and rusty vs. the Jets (7 targets for 2/17/0), while WR Greg Camarillo was the most successful Dolphin wideout with 6 for 3/37/0 to his credit. Pennington and the tight ends are the fantasy players of note off the Dolphins' aerial attack as of week 2.

The Cardinals were 28th in the NFL last year averaging 232.8 passing yards allowed per game, while ranking 25th in the league with 26 passing scores given up. Against the Raiders' anemic pass attack during week 3 of the preseason, the Cardinals only handed over 111 net passing yards with 3 sacks registered (they had 33 sacks to their credit last year as a team, in the middle of the NFL range). Last week, against the vaunted Mike Martz passing attack, Arizona held J.T. O'Sullivan to 14/20 for 183 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception while notching 4 sacks - they are definitely getting after opposing passers with a vengeance right now. The Dolphins did a bad job protecting Chad Pennington last week, with 4 sacks surrendered (among the most on opening day) - expect Arizona to gun for Pennington this week.

Pennington has several worries this week - his timing with Ginn wasn't there last week, and his OL is leaking pass rushers like a sieve (not good, particularly against the aggressive, blitzing Cardinals). With home field advantage also against Miami, this matchup looks really tough for the visiting squad.

New England Patriots Passing Offense at New York Jets Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

The Matt Cassel era has begun in New England, in the wake of Tom Brady's season ending knee injury. Cassel started his time in the saddle off with a "W", 17-10 over the hapless K.C. Chiefs. He hit 13/18 for 152 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions after Brady went down, with Randy Moss headlining as usual (6/116/1). Wes Welker chipped in 6/51/0 in the #2 role, while Sammy Morris (5/34/0) and Dave Thomas (2/24/0) handled the short-to-medium routes. In all, the Patriots posted 20/29 for 212 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions in week 1.

The Jets' pass D was a top 10 unit last year, averaging 197.1 net yards allowed per game (9th in the NFL), with only 18 passing TDs allowed all year long (tied for 6th in the league). They didn't generate many sacks last year, with only 29 all season long (among the bottom 10 performances in this category last year). Chad Pennington threw for 26/43 for 228 net yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception vs. NYJ last week (he was sacked 4 times). So far, the Jets are playing decent, but not overwhelming, pass D. They figure to bring the heat against Cassel this week as he'll be in his first NFL start - if your league awards big points for sacks, the Jets may be a good play this week.

Cassel is getting a crash course as the Patriots' starter this week, while the Jets are gearing up to make him miserable. At home in the Meadowlands, this looks like a tough matchup for the newest New England QB.

Weather: The Meadowlands expects a high of 78F on Sunday, with a low of 66F and a 50% chance of rain. If the winds are gusty and the skies open up at game time, footing and ball handling could be more problematic than usual for both teams.

New York Jets Passing Offense vs New England Patriots Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

It looks like Jerricho Cotchery is Brett Favre's new favorite target - Cotchery grabbed 3/80/1 out of 6 chances on Sunday while Favre was on the way to 15/22 for 194 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions. Laveranues Coles had his chances, too (4 targets for 1/5/0), but Chansi Stuckey was the second-most productive receiver last week with 3 targets for 2/37/1. TE Chris Baker turned 2 targets into 2/34/0. As it was Favre's first start in New York Jets' colors, the results were quite positive, if not quite as explosive as fantasy owners would have liked to see. The scoring was definitely there for those in TD only leagues, though.

The Patriots bring one of the league's best pass rushes to the table, with 47 sacks to their credit last year (2nd in the NFL). They were 6th in the league averaging 190.1 passing yards allowed per game, and gave up 23 passing scores last year (18th in the league). During their week 3 preseason tune up to regular season, the defense allowed 13/17 for 180 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions to Donovan McNabb - considering what he just did to St. Louis, the Patriots' play is looking pretty impressive. The anemic Chiefs were limited to 19/31 for 182 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception last week, and New England notched 4 sacks during the contest. The Jets gave up 3 sacks last week, by the way - expect the Patriots to try and rattle Favre with pass pressure this week.

Favre looks like he's got a good handle on the Jets' passing attack, but don't expect the divisional rivals from New England make it easy on him this Sunday. This is a tough matchup despite the home field advantage that Favre enjoys.

Oakland Raiders Passing Offense at Kansas City Chiefs Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

JaMarcus Russell is still very green at this level, and he showed it through 3 quarters vs. Denver on Monday Night Football. In the final period, though (down 27-0 starting the final 15 minutes), he came alive and manged to throw for a couple of late TDs, bringing his total to 17/26 for 180 yards, 2 TDs and 0 interceptions. At least he didn't quit when things got tough, showing some character and leadership when the chips were down. The much-maligned Ashley Lelie snagged one of the TDs (3/37/1), while Ron Curry caught the other (2/18/1). FB Justin Griffith led the team with 3/39/0 receiving - which tells the tale of the first 3 quarters on Monday to you.

Kansas City watched Tom Brady leave the game early on Sunday (7/11 for 76 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions) only to hand over 13/18 for 152 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions to his backup Matt Cassel, a guy without a single NFL start. Nice. New England finished up with 20/29 for 212 net yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions during the contest. The Chiefs were 5th in the NFL vs. opposing passers last year (averaging 188.9 yards allowed per game), and it was tough to throw scores against this group as well (the Chiefs only allowed 17 pass TDs last year, 4th-best in the NFL). They were a little more generous on Sunday, as you can see - but Randy Moss does that to lots of teams.

The Raiders are going through JaMarcus Russell's growing pains right now - look for K.C. to make his life difficult in partisan Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday.

Seattle Seahawks Passing Offense vs San Francisco 49ers Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

What did Matt Hasselbeck do to deserve this? The most recent hit to his WR corps occurred last week, when Nate Burleson blew out a knee vs. Buffalo (landing on IR). Deion Branch is attempting to come back from a knee reconstruction of his own, and Bobby Engram is still weeks out from playing due to his fractured shoulder. Ben Obomanu went on IR during preseason.

Anyway, one man's misfortune is another's opportunity - in this case, Courtney Taylor and Logan Payne's opportunities are knocking as they are the last WRs left standing in Seattle right now. Both caught 2 balls last week (2/19/0 for Taylor and 2/25/0 for Payne) - both need to do more this week - much more. John Carlson, the lead TE, had 4/52/0 vs. Buffalo and may be the best receiver currently available to Hasselbeck (17/41 for 167 yards, 1 TD (to Burleson) and 1 interception last week). The offensive line needs to do a better job of pass blocking, by the way - Buffalo took Hasselbeck to the turf for 5 sacks last week. The picture is pretty bleak for Seattle fans entering week 2, frankly. WRs Billy McMullen and Samie Parker were signed on Wednesday (McMullen played for Reid three seasons in Philly), but it would be surprising to see them make a big impact a few days after they sign.

The 49ers limited Kurt Warner to 19/30 for 176 net yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions last week, and posted 3 sacks during the game (2.5 of them by Parys Haralson, who also had 2 solo tackles and 4 total tackles). As mentioned above, Hasselbeck was hit often last week - look for the 49ers to try and get in his face a lot on Sunday. The 49ers look improved over the unit that coughed up an average of 227.7 yards allowed per game last year(22nd in the NFL) with 24 passing scores surrendered (20th). They should be able to hamper the injury-plagued Seahawks, that's for sure.

This looks like a tough matchup for the battered 'Hawks lineup.

St. Louis Rams Passing Offense vs New York Giants Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

The wheels came off and the engine fell out of the Rams' passing attack last week - Marc Bulger limped to 14/26 for 130 yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions (he was sacked 4 times by the Eagles and pressured consistently) during the 38-3 embarrassment. Torry Holt had 2 passes come his way (1/9/0), while Drew Bennett suffered a serious foot injury (he'll be out up to 6 weeks). The team signed Eddie Kennison as an emergency stop-gap measure (rookie Donnie Avery is nursing his most recent injury, a knee problem, after missing much of training camp due to a pelvic fracture). Randy McMichael was the only receiver who did much of anything during the miserable game, with 5/77/0 (7 targets).

The Giants kept Jason Campbell and the Redskins in the slow lane throughout the game last week, limiting them to 15/27 for 125 yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions on the night. During 2007, the team averaged 207.3 passing yards allowed per game (11th in the NFL), with 24 passing scores given up (tied for 20th in the league). Justin Tuck managed the only team sack last week - a big drop-off for a unit that notched a league-leading 53 sacks during 2007. The low sack total was the only worry that came out of last week's game, though. The Rams OL is awful and their receiving corps is paper thin entering week 2 - Bulger may be in for a long day in the Edward Jones Dome. Advantage, New York.

Weather: Inside the Edward Jones Dome, weather won't be an issue for either team.

Washington Redskins Passing Offense vs New Orleans Saints Passing Defense (Tough Matchup)

Jason Campbell was not impressive in the season opener, and struggled to move the Redskins down the field all night long. Washington converted 3 of 13 third downs during that game. Washington crossed the 50-yard line into New York territory a grand total of 3 times - and the only score was mostly due to a big kickoff return by Rock Cartwright (which got the Redskins' offense started at the NYG 45), rather than due to Campbell and his team mate's efforts. Campbell finished the night with 15/27 for 125 net yards, 1 TD and 0 interceptions, but he garnered 9 of the completions on dink-and-dunk passes during the 4th quarter as he (ineffectively) tried to hurry up the offense - highlighted by a failed 4th-down conversion and then a failed 2-minute drill (the final Washington drive started at 1:31 in the 4th, at the Washington 33, and sputtered to a halt as time ran out at the New York 32). The usual suspects at WR handled the bulk of what completions there were, with 7/73/0 going to Antwaan Randle El and 5/37/1 allotted to Santana Moss. TE Chris Cooley was practically shut out during the game (1/7/0). It wasn't a game to inspire confidence in Campbell's fantasy prospects, friends.

The Saints kept a check on Jeff Garcia most of the game on Sunday, limiting him to 24/41 for 206 net yards (New Orleans had 2 sacks in the game), 1 TD and 1 interception. The Saints were 30th in the league last year in passing yards allowed per game (an average of 245.3), and gave up 32 passing TDs last year (dead last). As you can see, they performed much better than their year-ago norm in the season opener. We'll see if they can keep up the improvement in FedEx Field this week.

The Redskins' attack had big problems during the first game of the year - meanwhile, New Orleans appears to be heading in the right direction when it comes to pass defense - advantage, New Orleans.

Cincinnati Bengals Passing Offense vs Tennessee Titans Passing Defense (Bad Matchup)

Carson Palmer stunk up the joint vs. Baltimore, with an anemic 10/25 for 99 yards, 0 TDs and 1 interception to his credit. T.J. Houshmandzadeh led the team with 3/44/0 and Chad Johnson snagged 1/22/0, but that was the extent of the "star power" for the Bengals last week. They look awful entering week 2, folks.

Tennessee blew up the Jaguars for 7 sacks last week, by far the most in the league, and generated 2 interceptions of David Garrard and forced a lost fumble from David Garrard. He ended the day with 23/35 for 156 net passing yards, 1 TD and 2 interceptions - it was an outstanding way to start the season if you are a Titan fan or a fantasy owner of their team defense. These guys are on fire entering week 2.

Palmer can't be happy to see the Titans on the schedule for this week.

Minnesota Vikings Passing Offense vs Indianapolis Colts Passing Defense (Bad Matchup)

Tarvaris Jackson blew the game for his team last week, missing crucial throws and failing to provide a credible threat to pass. He once again completed less than 50% of his throws (16/35 for 178 yards, 1 TD and 1 interception) and generally looked better scrambling (9/65/0) than he did passing the ball. TE Garrett Mills led the team in receiving (3/49/0), while the starting WRs were next in line (3/38/0 for Bernard Berrian and 2/31/1 for Sidney Rice). There isn't much fantasy juice to be had from this stable of pass catchers, folks.

Kyle Orton only needed a limited number of throws last week (13/21 for 136 net yards, 0 TDs and 0 interceptions) to defeat the Colts as his running backs blew up their defensive front. Last season, the Colts were dominant pass defenders, holding teams to an average of 172.8 yards per game (2nd in the NFL) and they gave up a paltry 16 pass TDs last year (2nd in the NFL). They didn't manage many sacks (only 28, towards the bottom of the league) - last week, they planted Orton twice, showing some improvement in that department.

It's hard to pass on the Colts, and with Jackson struggling (again), this looks like a bad matchup for the home team.

Weather: Inside the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome weather won't be an issue for either team.
