It's all about matchups...if KC gets a big lead, they will run more and pass less. If that happens, Oakland will pass more and run less--it's good for me fantasy wise. Oakland's money is on Moss and the only way he gets the ball is with Collins throwing to him.
As for the Steelers, again, it's all about HOW the points are scored.
Pitt won 34-7, Ben got 16 FP's.
KC won 27-7, Green got 2 FP's.
Similar outcomes, dramatically different results fantasy wise.

I still think Green is the better fantasy play. The major difference in the scoring of Green and Roethlisburger last week were the 2 TD's that Roeth threw vs. none from Green. Roeth only had 11 pass attempts last week but managed just over 200 yards and 2 tds. That is not going to happen every week. The KC offense only scored 3 TD's against the Jets (partially because of a conservative game plan and partially because the Jets have a good D). Green & Co. should put 4-5 in the endzone against the RAIDers. The odds are pretty good that Green tosses at least 1.
Green has been a fantasy stud for several years while Roeth was barely good for a bye week fill in last year. 1 week does not a trend make. I would start Green over Roeth unless the matchup is strongly in Roeth's favor (i.e. KC v. BAL, PIT v. ARI etc.).
