Five Wins.

Can the Skins go 5-0 to close out the season? Wishful thinking. If they can beat the Rams, it sure would be a sweet start though.

Fantasy Assessment.

Brunell and Santana Moss had maximum value through the first half of the season. Since opposing defenses started double covering moss and rolling coverages toward him, he hasn't broken the 100-yard barrier.

David Patten was a complete bust. Thrash and Taylor Jacobs weren't even worth considering either.

With 943 yards through 11 games, Clinton Portis is on par for a second 1300 yard season. While it would be an excellent for just about any back, it's subpar considering his three straight 1500 yard seasons in Denver with which he started his career.

Chris Cooley is sure getting a lot of looks and catches but he's not getting any TDs. The TDs that would normally come his way are getting siphoned away by Mike Sellers.

The Redskins defense isn't the same caliber it was last year, although they started strong. A lack of turnovers, lack of pass rush, and a suspect run defense are three major weaknesses. Two are enough to hurt a team but all three combined are debilitating. Maybe Gregg Williams won't be flooded with head coaching offers after all. Teams have figured that max protecting is the best way to stave off his zone blitzing schemes.
