New York Jets strong safety Eric Smith told reporters Monday that he played the final five games of the season with a torn meniscus in his knee.

I'm not going to bore you by congratulating myself for recommending that you start Kavell Conner (he of the 18 total tackles) in Week Four, nor will I thrill you by flagellating myself for recommending that you sit Paul Posluszny (kudos if you rolled him out, but if you did so out of anything other than necessity you're a braver man than I). The past is just that, so let's get down to business. Remember, this is the first of the bye weeks, so don't go starting any players from the Ravens, Browns, Cowboys, Dolphins, Rams, or Redskins. Stop sobbing, D'Qwell Jackson owners, it's just one game. With no further adieu, here's a look at some players you should give serious consideration to getting into your lineups or who could outperform expectations (Studs) and some that, for whatever reason, you may want to consider leaving alone, or at least take into account that they may be a relative disappointment this week.

Chris Clemons -- DE, Seattle Seahawks (at NYG): Look for Clemons to rebound from his 1 assist vanishing act against Atlanta when the Seahawks travel to meet the Giants, who are in the bottom 10 in the NFL in sacks allowed.

James Anderson -- OLB, Carolina Panthers (vs. NO): The Saints are tops in the NFL in tackle opportunities allowed and ninth in fantasy points allowed to opposing linebackers, so there's ample reason to think Anderson will be in for a solid statistical outing when New Orleans visits the Panthers Sunday. Leroy Hill -- OLB, Seattle Seahawks (at NYG): If you're looking for a spot-start at linebacker this week allow me to suggest that you consider Leroy Hill, who's back to a three down role on the weak side for the Seahawks and who has 20 total tackles, a sack, and a forced fumble over his past two games. D.J. Williams -- OLB, Denver Broncos (vs. SD): The eighth year veteran appears to be fully recovered from his dislocated elbow, and the San Diego Chargers ...
