Here's how it works. We throw some intriguing matchups at the FanHouse staff and ask whether each player will be over or under a certain point total. The result? Fantasy Football Over/Under. Makes sense, right?

So you picked up some of the breakout Week 1 performers, and now you're wondering whether or not you should give them the start in Week 2. Earl Bennett, Mario Manningham, Chansi Stuckey ... the list goes on and on. Or you might be debating whether Matt Schaub and Steven Jackson can bounce back. The FanHouse staff weighed in on some of the more tricky matchups of Week 2 in this week's Over/Under.

Normal scoring (passing 20/4, rushing/receiving 10/6) applies. Benchmarks:

QB - 18 points (200 yards passing, 2 TDs; 220 yards passing, 2 TDs, 1 INT, etc)
RB1 - 16 points (100 yards and 1 TD)
RB2 - 10 points (100 yards, zero TDs; 40 yards, 1 TD)
WR1 - 14 points (80 yards and 1 TD)
WR2 - 10 points (100 yards, zero TDs; 40 yards, 1 TD)
WR3 - 8 points (80 yards, zero TDs; 20 yards, 1 TD)
FLEX - 6 points (60 yards or a TD)
TE1 - 6 points (60 yards or a TD)

• Despite the cake matchup, only two of the five of us see a big game coming from Brett Favre. If the Minnesota defense proves too much for Matthew Stafford and the Lions to handle, then the Vikings will be in the situation to run the ball for most of the second half. As a result, most of us see Chester Taylor as a solid flex play this week. If he gets most of the second-half work, he should score and possibly approach 100 yards.

• We love LenDale White this week, because there's likely at least one TD in the cards for the big man. We also agree that Fred Jackson should have another big game in store against the bad Tampa Bay defense. Should Jackson come through again, and again in Week 3, the Bills are going to be hard-pressed to put Marshawn Lynch back in the lineup.

Dwayne Bowe had a tough matchup in Week 1, yet still came through with a TD. Even with that in mind, we don't like Bowe for a repeat performance against the Raiders and Nnamdi Asomugha. Most of you won't have better options than Bowe regardless, but if you're lucky enough to own Lee Evans, Percy Harvin and Justin Gage (all unanimous Over selections), you should park Bowe on the bench.
