I have 2 spots and I'm leaning toward Branch and Driver, but would consider Moss. Owens will most likely not play (saving himself to crush Phili), but if he is willing to start i may risk it and put him in.

Branch and Driver.
Branch showed he has learned his new offense well. The only problem is he is playing a very tough Bears defense. No Alexander also will probably equate to more passing for the Seahawks.
Driver and Farve are really the only thing Green Bay has. Green Bay will be behind and trying to catch up late. This will probably mean big numbers for Driver.
Don't start Moss because the Raiders are lacking both a respectable quarterback and pass protection. Aaron Brooks is a failure and that line has more holes than swiss cheese. Moss won't even get the chance to make many plays.
Owens likely will not play this week or will play a very limited role. Dallas has plenty of other reciever talent to use as well.

That's a tough call since Seattle is playing the best defense in the league (in Chicago), GB plays Philly who has been playing well, Oakland has a chance to win a game in Cleveland, and Dallas plays the woeful Titans.
I wouldn't entirely rule Owens out until they make it official. He could have a good game against the Titans. I know the chatter is that he won't play until next week against the Eagles, but look at Steve Smith. Their was speculation he wouldn't play last week and look at what he did.
I would encourage you to consider Owens until they declare he won't play this week.
Although Moss seems like the smart start, Cleveland has played several teams tought this season, and Romeo Crennel and created quite a contender. I don't think Oakland will have much success against Cleveland.
Branch is a good play because now that Alexander is out, the primary offensive tool for Seattle will be the pass, especially considering Hasselback's performance last week. Even though Chicago's defense is solid, Seattle should still be able to make some headway against them.
Philly's defense is porous at times, so Driver may be a good play. Favre seems to perform well on MNF and had a great week last week.
My advice, start Driver and Branch, unless Owens is able to go.

Driver for sure. Green Bay is a pass oriented offense this year, and Driver is Favre's go to guy.
Last press I heard on TO said that he would not miss another game. If that is the case, he has a great matchup against a suspect Tennessee team. Have to watch for that one.
Branch is going up against Chicago this week, who is a top 3 defense. Add to that a lack of S. Alexander so they can key on the pass, and that this willl be Branch's second game with a new offense, I dont see him doing much.
I know it seems ridiculous to start Moss, given Oakland's offensive woes this season, but Cleveland is not a good team, and Moss could take advantage of them.
In conclusion, I would take Driver for sure, TO if available, Moss if not.

Branch & Driver
Moss and the Raiders aren't going anywhere this year.
Driver will see plenty of action although I am not sure Green Bay can beat Houston.
Branch will see more duty as wr #4 especially with Shaun Alexander out. 4 wideouts is a good option.
Owens needs to redeem himself. He has sucked hard this year so far and with another boo-boo, he will save himself for the Eagles so he can play the fool on national TV.

Play Branch and Driver because:
Branch is now familiar with the Seattle offense, so he will see some passes.
Driver because Houston cannot block the pass.

it truly is a frustrating determination. there is not any clean decrease fashionable in this one. i'd initiate Randy Moss because he's playing on Monday evening. Colston is likewise a good selection and likely the safer guess. although, i imagine the opportunity of Moss shining contained in the nationwide spotlight is sufficient to make him the starter this week.

Trade moss for pennies. He is useless with A Brooks or any other scrubs that the Raiders put back there

Driver. Favre has no running game and will be lighting up Driver all game long.
