QB |
| Carson Palmer |
CIN |
NYJ |
They're not playing for anything and are too likely to be pulled early to reliably start anybody. Look elsewhere. The Jets benefit for the second week in a row. ( 135 yds pass with 1 TD ) |
| 18 |
QB |
| Aaron Rodgers |
GBP |
ARI |
Probably not a full game's worth of stats, but good numbers. ( 250 yds pass with 2 TDs ) |
| 16 |
RB |
| Pierre Thomas |
NOS |
CAR |
All the New Orleans backs have dealt with injuries this season. Sean Payton will continue to implement a time-share, but Bell could see the bulk of the work as he attempts to keep Pierre healthy for the playoffs. ( 30 yds rush; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 12 |
RB |
| Laurence Maroney |
NEP |
HOU |
Maroney was benched last week after fumbling near the goal line. ( 30 yds rush ) |

RB |
| Mike Hart |
IND |

RB |
| Ryan Grant |
GBP |
ARI |
Will find the end zone at least once this week. ( 75 yds rush and 2 TDs ) |

WR |
| Greg Jennings |
GBP |
ARI |
Still getting a ton of yards, just can't be stopped. ( 4 catches for 100 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 12 |
WR |
| Roy Williams |
DAL |
PHI |
Has only 2 receptions these last games (1 per) and can certainly not be counted on. Looks to be the Austin / Witten show from here on out. ( 2 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 29 |
WR |
| Reggie WayneP |
IND |
BUF |
Actually gets decent stats, even playing less than a full game ( 4 catches for 50 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 12 |
WR |
| Julian Edelman R |
NEP |
HOU |
Edelman is buried too far down the depth chart. ( 2 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 33 |
WR |
| Bernard BerrianP |
MIN |
NYG |
Re-emerging as the #2 WR on the team. ( 6 catches for 60 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 24 |
WR |
| Austin Collie R |
IND |
BUF |
May benefit from sitting the starters ( 5 catches for 65 yds ) |
| 4 |
TE |
| Chris Baker |
NEP |
HOU |
Although Baker found the end zone last week he is too inconsistent to be used as a starting fantasy TE. ( 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 12 |
TE |
| Dustin Keller |
NYJ |
CIN |
Keller's number hasn't been called the past few weeks. ( 3 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 11 |
PK |
| Stephen Gostkowski |
NEP |
HOU |
Gostkowski's number hasn't been called upon often with New England's offense picking up the pace the past few weeks. ( 3 XPs, 2 FGs ) |
| 8 |
PK |
| Mason Crosby |
GBP |
ARI |
Busy day but too many PATs. ( 5 XPs, 1 FG and 1 missed FG ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| Baltimore Ravens |
BAL |
OAK |
This unit may have become average, but Oakland's offense hasn't. Expect a feasting here as Charlie Frye continues to gift wrap turnovers for the opposition. ( 4 sacks, 3 INTs, 1 Fumble, 13 Points, 290 Yards ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| Philadelphia Eagles |
PHI |
DAL |
Cowboys have turned the ball over only 1 time in their last 3 games. Romo seems to have gotten the team's "December Monkey" off their proverbial backs, so look for another defensive unit to start. ( 2 sacks, 1 Fumble, 24 Points, 400 Yards ) |
