Welcome to the answer and question segment of the show.

Here’s how it works. I give you the answer, then I give you the question and you just keep reading along. No thinking involved. Save that for your Tuesday waiver moves—should I really drop Ancient Isaac Bruce for Colts Frenchman, err, wide receiver Pierre Garcon? Yes, yes you should.

And that’s not even part of the answers and questions, consider it a bonus round.

Enough babbling, on to the answers and questions:

Answer: The Buffalo Bills

Question: What dominating defense is going to be able to stop the Drew Brees onslaught? Everybody knew it was going to be a squad that allowed an average 330 yards per game passing during the first two weeks. Gotta love this game.

A: Pierre Garcon

Q: Who will be the next Reggie Wayne? Yeah, I heard it on the TV broadcast but he makes big play after big play. He’s at least the next Brandon Stokley circa 2004 – as the Colts’ No. 3 receiver he had 10 TDs and 1,077 yards receiving. Go get Garcon if he’s available.

A: No-freaking-body.

Q: Who knew Willis McGahee was going to not only be the most valuable Ravens running back, let alone a TD-scoring machine? He’s got 6 TDs in three games. That’s a 32-TD pace. He won’t keep it up, and I’d recommend trading him while his value’s this high, but I don’t see his situation changing that much in Baltimore barring an injury.

A: It’s official, Houston. And he better if he wants a job in the NFL.

Q: Which NFL defense is a fantasy playland for NFL running backs? They gave up 108 yards and 2 TDs to Thomas Jones, who hasn’t sniffed relevance since, in the opener, then got demolished by Chris Johnson in Week 2 and Maurice Jones-Drew in Week 3. They face Oakland in Week 4. Think Darren McFadden will come ready to play? (That’s a two-for-one folks. Value!)

A: Kevin Smith’s shoulder.

Q: What body part could cause the most pain to an NFL team in 2009? Not much info on the shoulder injury, but if he’s out for an extended period of time Detroit will return to the Land of Defeat. Smith’s ability to grind the clock keeps opposing offenses off the field and his own defense fresh.

A: Older than dirt.

Q: How old is Fred Taylor? But for at least one week, the former Florida Gator ran like a young Fred Taylor: 21-105-1.
