Here's what KFFL's inside sources are saying this week.

Quarterbacks

• Arizona Cardinals rook Max Hall commands the huddle well and makes decent decisions but doesn't have much of an arm. Biggest thing in his favor? He'll probably be starting the rest of the way unless he's horrible.
• The lack of QB protection in a Mike Martz offense, the New York Giants' pass rush, the Chicago Bears not giving tight ends blocking help and Jay Cutler holding the ball too long produced Sackapocalypse 2010. The Bears will probably discuss more with Cutler on why it's important to get rid of the ball.
  Even with Todd Collins starting this weekend, the Bears should run their normal offense, though they might eliminate some deep drops to make it easier on the offensive line.
• The Cleveland Browns won't make a decision until Saturday night, but Jake Delhomme (ankle) likely will be back behind center come Sunday.
• The Baltimore Ravens should be able to contain the Denver Broncos' Kyle Orton. Our insider felt Orton wouldn't go for 300 yards again. Baltimore should let the Denver receivers catch passes but won't let them knock out big yards after the catch.
• Matt Schaub likes to wait for downfield routes to develop ... hence, the ample times he has been sacked. The Houston Texans will try to focus on having Schaub take fewer five-step drops, and have him make quick decisions - throw it quickly, or throw it away.
• Brett Favre (elbow, ankle) has been wearing a big wrap on his elbow and the tendonitis could eventually be a big concern. He'll be on a pitch count for now.
  The league is also looking into his "actions" while a member (pun not intended) of the New York Jets. A suspension is a possibility.
• Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid hasn't ruled out sticking with Kevin Kolb even if Michael Vick (rib) is healthy. It probably depends on how well Kolb plays and how long Vick sits.
  Some question whether Kolb looks downfield enough, but our source felt he is capable of throwing the ball deeper.

Running backs

• Catching flak, but will play

  The Atlanta Falcons aren't scared of much in the Cleveland Browns' offense and will focus most of their efforts on slowing Peyton Hillis (thigh).
• The only way Jerome Harrison (no carries last week) gets more than a handful of carries for the Browns is if Hillis is hurt or Cleveland needs to run the ball to the outside more. Harrison doesn't look 100 percent healthy, either, and take awhile to get loosened up.
• The Baltimore Ravens have floated around Willis McGahee in trade offers and would be willing to give him up, but no one has bitten.
• Expect Fred Jackson to hold a slight edge on touches as the new Buffalo Bills' starter. C.J. Spiller won't be an afterthought. Though he's struggling on pass protection, Buffalo will try to avoid having him perform those duties - lining him up in the slot and also sometimes havinn Jackson to block. Both backs can perform goal line work, but the bigger Jackson is the better bet.
• Our Dallas Cowboys insider is at the "believe it when I see it" point regarding Dallas increasing Felix Jones' touches; the sage believes that if Dallas follows through, though, they ought to give him 12 to 15 touches per game.
• The Denver Broncos might sprinkle in Andre Brown behind starter Laurence Maroney and No. 2 Correll Buckhalter this week with Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) out in Week 5.
• The Detroit Lions' Jahvid Best (toe) didn't appear to be too affected by his injured toe. Field conditions might have played a part in his down week.
• The Green Bay Packers might be throwing some carries at Dimitri Nance this week given the way the ground attack has stalled under John Kuhn and Brandon Jackson. Despite not being all that fast, Nance is physical for his size and has short-area quickness. Not saying to go and grab him in every fantasy league, but at least keep an eye on his Week 5 performance. James Starks (hamstring) is also nearly able to come back, so Nance's impact might be limited anyway.
• Expect to see a heavy dose of Kansas City Chiefs runners Thomas Jones and Jamaal Charles this week to keep the Indianapolis Colts' offense off the field.
• The New Orleans Saints should split the touches evenly again between Ladell Betts and Chris Ivory, maybe slightly more of Betts because of his pass protection and receiving skills. The latter was hobbled around a bit earlier this week but will still play.
• Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle) should see his usual work for the New York Giants unless his injury flares up during the game. He has played through this injury before, and he has forgone practice and still played on Sundays before. Brandon Jacobs will be in his typical small complementary role. 
• Michael Bush will receive all the work for the Oakland Raiders that would normally have gone to Darren McFadden (hamstring).
• The expectation is that LeSean McCoy (rib) won't be slowed by his injured rib, but the Philadelphia Eagles runner has never played with it outside of the second half last week. He's expected to play but will wear a flak jacket.
• The St. Louis Rams' Steven Jackson (groin) wore what he calls a "groin contraption" in Week 4, which is composed of two pairs of compression shorts and a strap attached to his thigh that helps shorten his stride. He'll wear the same thing when he plays in Week 5.
• Ryan Mathews owners might feel a bit queasy after reading this. Mike Tolbert should see 20-plus touches for the foreseeable future until the San Diego Chargers are confident enough to let Mathews carry the load. They want the rookie back to be fully healthy physically and mentally. Mathews has proven to be easily shaken during his first NFL season, admitting that he vomits before games and doesn't rebound well emotionally from mistakes.
  San Diego wants him to find some success in situations with less pressure so he has a foundation to build on. If you have Mathews on your team, you must stand pat because the team wants him to eventually move into the featured back role, but you'll have to be patient.
• The San Francisco 49ers could get Brian Westbrook more involved this week, especially with his former team coming to town.
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers' breakdown of touches probably will have Cadillac Williams with most of the carries, Kareem Huggins giving him a break for a couple of series and LeGarrette Blount receiving short-yardage work.
• Chris Johnson has appeared more tentative this year, like he's trying to hit the home run, but the Tennessee Titans' offensive line hasn't been as good. A lack of a vertical passing game and Johnson being the focus of opposing defenses has also contributed to his "slow start."
• Our insider didn't expect to see the Washington Redskins' Clinton Portis (groin) again this year, and Portis will have to take a big reduction in pay to stick around next year.
  Touch split with Portis out: majority for Ryan Torain, followed by Keiland Williams getting more than Chad Simpson. The 'Skins are more confident in Williams' blitz pickup for third downs. He's expected to be activated off the practice squad Saturday.
  Washington also believes Torain's previous injuries (anterior cruciate ligament tears) were freak accidents.

Wide receivers

• Max Komar could see the second most looks among the Arizona Cardinals' targets. Working in the slot, given a rookie QB and this decimated WR corps, Komar could do some damage.
• Harry Douglas has been getting open for the Atlanta Falcons, but quarterback Matt Ryan doesn't appear comfortable with him yet. Douglas has had a couple of drops.
• It could be a down week for the Baltimore Ravens' Anquan Boldin, who may more often than not be covered by Denver Broncos corner Champ Bailey, per our Baltimore scribe. Our Broncos source, however, doesn't think the Broncs will shadow Boldin as much if at all; they might just play their regular alignment on D.
  Either way, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco won't force anything that isn't there. This could possibly mean more work for Derrick Mason if he's lined up on the weaker corner.
• Brandon LaFell and David Gettis will start for the Carolina Panthers with Steve Smith (ankle) out for Week 5 and maybe longer, and Dwayne Jarrett shown the curb. David Clowney and Armanti Edwards round out the pecking order. Ton of speed, and a ton of youth and inexperience.
  This is a fantasy situation to avoid, but Gettis has the advantage on LaFell if you have to own one. LaFell's hands remain an issue, and the speedy Gettis has solid chemistry with quarterback Jimmy Clausen from their work with the second string this past camp.

• Gotta keep it separated

  If Cleveland Browns quarterback Jake Delhomme (ankle) is indeed behind center Sunday, Mohamed Massaquoi should see a few more looks. The two had a good thing going in the preseason and Week 1.
• The Detroit Lions' Nate Burleson (ankle) should slot in as the No. 2 wideout but isn't necessarily higher than tight ends Tony Scheffler (concussion) or Brandon Pettigrew in the pecking order just yet.
• Our Indianapolis Colts insider thinks Austin Collie (foot) will play this week. Indy wouldn't have him practice Friday if they didn't plan on bringing him back.
• Mike Sims-Walker has struggled getting off the line and beating jams, which is one reason the Jacksonville Jaguars' No. 1 wideout is struggling. Quarterback David Garrard won't force anything. They've given MSW some extra work in practice.
  Mike Thomas should continue to remain the top target until Sims-Walker can get something going.
• There are still a lot of worrying signs for the Minnesota Vikings and Randy Moss. Our insider doesn't think Moss will receive an extension. How happy will he be playing on a one-year deal, especially if quarterback Brett Favre can't throw the ball cause of elbow tendonitis?
  This is still a run-first offense behind Adrian Peterson. The move for Moss does help Percy Harvin, though it kills what value Bernard Berrian had.
• And will the New York Jets put Antonio Cromartie on Moss even if Darrelle Revis (hamstring) returns? No hand has been tipped yet, but maybe they'll mix and match the two. Cromartie did a steady job on Moss in their first meeting this year when Moss was still a New England Patriots' wideout.
• Our insider didn't feel much hope for the New Orleans Saints' Robert Meachem. Teams keep taking away the deep stuff; Meachem is only in there to run block or go deep. Quarterback Drew Brees is going to be smart about throwing deep.
• Braylon Edwards and Jerricho Cotchery will start for the New York Jets, who'll rotate Santonio Holmes into action. Holmes is trying to get up to speed in this offense; they'll probably play Holmes' involvement by ear.
• Nick Miller could see a few touches on offense for the Oakland Raiders. They like to run a couple of trick plays per game and have lined up Miller as tailback or split him out as a receiver before. He was compared to Danny Woodhead, or a poor man's Wes Welker.
• This offseason, the Philadelphia Eagles' Jeremy Maclin and quarterback Kevin Kolb spent a lot of time working together. He should benefit with the Texas kid back behind center.
• St. Louis Rams wideout pecking order: Mark Clayton, Danny Amendola (slot), Brandon Gibson and Mardy Gilyard. The returning Laurent Robinson? He'll need to work his way back into the fold. The Rams have been satisfied with Gibson's ability to create separation and his contributions in the last two games. It isn't out of the question for L-Rob to work his way back up; consider the situation fluid behind the secured Clayton and Amendola.
• The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will give Arrelious Benn some more reps this week, probably half of the snaps at flanker. Benn is a hard worker in practice, and quarterback Josh Freeman is often out there working with him. TB feels more comfortable about Benn handling the flanker spot, even if he's still learning the route adjustments that comes with playing the position.
• Tennessee Titans rookie Damian Williams has either passed or is on the verge of passing Lavelle Hawkins. Williams has come on a bit.
• Michael Crabtree was a little more involved the San Francisco 49ers' offense last week, but there still weren't any dramatic changes under new offensive coordinator Mike Johnson.

Tight ends

• Our insider felt the Cleveland Browns would double wide receiver Roddy White this week, leaving lots of single coverage for Tony Gonzalez.
• Tony Scheffler (concussion) and Brandon Pettigrew haven't been pushed down the pecking order for looks just yet with wide receiver Nate Burleson's (ankle) expected return to the Detroit Lions.
• At least for now, Joel Dreessen will continue to see more work than Owen Daniels (hamstring) in the Houston Texans' passing game. Daniels still doesn't have much explosiveness yet and will probably remain in to block in two-tight end sets, which should be even more frequent this weekend with wideout Jacoby Jones (calf) doubtful for Week 5.
• New Orleans Saints duo David Thomas and Jeremy Shockey could be in for a big day against the Arizona Cardinals, our insider felt.
• San Francisco 49ers captain Vernon Davis was given the ball on more screens last week. His touchdown catch was on a ball throw in the flat. It appeared new offensive coordinator Mike Johnson was trying to get the ball in his hands with teams taking away the dangerous seam route.
• The Oakland Raiders probably will stick Nnamdi Asomugha on San Diego Chargers All-Pro Antonio Gates. Asomugha should be able to slow him down some; it's not a huge size mismatch.

Place kickers

• John Carney will kick again this week for the New Orleans Saints.

Around the league

• Atlanta Falcons defensive backs William Moore and Dunta Robinson have helped the Dirty Bird's secondary keep tight coverage. This has allowed Atlanta to mix up their defenses and play more man-to-man coverage.
• The Cincinnati Bengals' bungles in the red zone have been mainly due to the extension of their struggling running attack and a pile of penalties and sacks that have stalled their progress.
• The Philadelphia Eagles could try to take advantage of aggressive San Francisco 49ers rookie safety Taylor Mays with some screens and reverses.
• The Dallas Cowboys look like a bad matchup for the Tennessee Titans. Quarterback Vince Young has generally struggled against 3-4 defenses, while running back Chris Johnson hasn't been able to get to the edge against them. Dallas' wideouts should have the edge on the other side of the ball.
• The San Diego Chargers are unlikely to trade wideout Vincent Jackson and linebacker Shawne Merriman unless they're blown away with an offer.
• The Washington Redskins would probably trade defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth for a second- or third-round pick.
