Bills' Parrish runs way onto offense with punt return

I have two words for your fantasy weekend.

Roscoe Parrish.

You see that punt return the other day? I called Dick Jauron Tuesday and told him the Parrish return for touchdown against Jacksonville might have been the greatest return I've witnessed. "Me too,'' he said. "That's what I said after the game. That may be the best return I've ever seen. The ball's bouncing around, he picks it up, reverses field, didn't forget his blockers, and was gone.''

With that in mind, here's the 10 fantasy tips of the weekend:

1. Pick up Roscoe Parrish if you can. Jauron tells me he's had a hammy that has limited him in the regular offense, but he's going to get more and more snaps down the stretch. He'd gone four games without catching a pass in a game until his key sideline catch on the final drive that led to the game-winning field goal against the Jags. Look for him to break a return in the last month, and to play 20 snaps a game as a slot receiver who gets downfield.

2. Just a hunch: Got a tough playoff matchup down the stretch? Your running back playing the Ravens or Chargers' or Bears' or Vikes' (rushing) D? Four names: Kevin Faulk, Justin Fargas, Najeh Davenport, Maurice Hicks. The latter's an interesting guy, because you wonder if Frank Gore can keep up his strong play on a 306-carry pace.

3. Re: the Ravens running game, pick up Musa Smith if you can. He's had 12 rushes over the past two games, and you can never tell if the workload for Jamal Lewis (22 carries a game in the 5-0 Ravens' streak since Brian Billick took over the playcalling, and nursing a bruised foot) will get him nicked much more down the stretch. And if he has to miss time, Billick loves Musa Smith. He'll run him a load.

4. Just to clarify something for you guys in keeper leagues: Mike Vick is not going to be traded after the season. Repeat: NOT going to be traded. Feel free to quote me to scuttle any rumors you might hear about that. And plan accordingly.

5. As long as you're taking my word on something, the other thing you can take to the bank this week is that Braylon Edwards is going to have a bunch of chances against Kansas City. A whole bunch. What he does with those chances I don't know. But Charlie "Thanks For Getting the Dust Off My Jersey'' Frye will throw to him a lot.

6. Frank Gore's shin, by the way? Fine. He'll start at New Orleans.

7. Kelly Washington's hammy? Not so fine on a short week. I'd sit the fourth Bengals receiver (which you probably would have anyway against the Ravens' D).

8. The Bengal I'd be sure to play is Reggie Kelly, the tight end. With the Baltimore pass-rush looking like it's rushing 11 on every passing down, Carson Palmer's going to need his intermediate option all night.

9. Be very, very thankful you picked up Sammy Morris, if you did. Without Ronnie Brown, out with a broken bone in his hand, Nick Saban will use his power runner to chew up the clock against Jacksonville.

10. Tough game for San Diego in Buffalo. Very tough. Not that I'd sit LaDainian Tomlinson, but I might sit Philip Rivers, with a forecast of possible snow showers, a good breeze and a high of 34. The Bills are praying for snow to welcome Tomlinson back to western New York for his first visit since Dec. 15, 2002, his second season. He ran for 110 that day, but the Bills won 20-13.
