Are Patriots searching for Moss' replacement?

Rumors are rampant surrounding the New England Patriots and their possible attempts to replace the traded Randy Moss. One has the Patriots looking at
San Diego's Vincent Jackson and another has Tom Brady talking to Seattle's Deion Branch. Branch cut his NFL teeth with Brady and the Patriots at the start of his career. None of the rumors have much validity at this point.

The Chicago Bears are saying quarterback Jay Cutler (concussion) will miss the Week 5 game but should then be able to return to the lineup. If you're looking for a one-week play, both Detroit's Shaun Hill and Jacksonville's David Garrard have favorable match-ups.

Oakland's Darren McFadden did not practice Thursday, paving the way for Michael Bush (thumb) to get the start against San Diego.

Wide receiver Santonio Holmes of the New York Jets is back from his suspension but is still behind on his timing with quarterback Mark Sanchez. He's worth picking up but should stay on your bench until he starts producing.

Owners who were quick enough to jump on Washington running back Ryan Torain should reap the benefits for awhile. Starter Clinton Portis (groin) is expected to miss four to six weeks.

The wide receiver merry-go-round continues in Indianapolis. This week Austin Collie (foot) is likely out and Pierre Garcon (hamstring) is back in. Whichever one plays is a strong option.
