QB |
 | Tom Brady |
NEP |
HOU |
Belichick doesn't usually rest his starters so Brady should see plenty of action at Houston this week. ( 280 yds pass with 3 TDs and 1 Int; 10 yds rush ) |

QB |
| Mark SanchezQ R |
NYJ |
CIN |
Avoid Sanchez as he has only 1 game with over 200 yards passing in the past 6 weeks. ( 170 yds pass and 1 Int; 10 yds rush ) |
| 12 |
RB |
| LeSean McCoy R |
PHI |
DAL |
Looks like it will be a 3-headed monster at RB with Westbrook, McCoy and Weaver all getting touches. ( 25 yds rush; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 16 |
RB |
| Cedric Benson |
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. ( 37 yds rush; 1 catch for 8 yds ) |
| 26 |
RB |
| Mike Bell |
NOS |
CAR |
Bell will see an increase in carries as the Saints try to preserve Pierre for the playoffs. ( 50 yds rush and 1 TD ) |
| 26 |
RB |
| Larry Johnson |
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. ( 45 yds rush and 1 TD; 1 catch for 7 yds ) |

RB |
| Tashard Choice |
DAL |
PHI |
Not enough carries to even think about him. |

WR |
| Lance Moore |
NOS |
CAR |
Could see some garbage time as the Saints try to get him back on the field after an injury plagued season. ( 4 catches for 45 yds ) |
| 20 |
WR |
| Robert MeachemP |
NOS |
CAR |
One of the better Waiver Wire pick-ups of the season. ( 3 catches for 50 yds ) |
| 45 |
WR |
 | DeSean Jackson |
PHI |
DAL |
Now has scored in last 5 games played and will continue that streak this week in Dallas. Look for him to shine in this NFC East showdown in which the winner will be NFC East champs! ( 5 catches for 95 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 50 |
WR |
| Randy MossP |
NEP |
HOU |
Expect another productive week from Moss as he has rebounded from his week 14 performance. ( 6 catches for 80 yds and 2 TDs ) |
| 37 |
WR |
| Larry FitzgeraldP |
ARI |
GBP |
Will face a solid secondary but still get his usual stats. ( 5 catches for 70 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 20 |
WR |
| Braylon Edwards |
NYJ |
CIN |
Edwards has a favorable match up this week but Sanchez struggles to get him the ball. ( 4 catches for 50 yds ) |
| 29 |
TE |
| Visanthe Shiancoe |
MIN |
NYG |
Always a threat to score. ( 5 catches for 50 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 25 |
TE |
| Todd HeapP |
BAL |
OAK |
Heap's on a TD streak! Just when he's written off he bounces back, which means once fantasy owners take notice he'll go back to doing nothing again. Such is life with Heap... ( 3 catches for 40 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 7 |
PK |
| Ryan Longwell |
MIN |
NYG |
A fair amount of action this week. ( 4 XPs, 1 FG and 1 missed FG ) |
| 9 |
PK |
| Nate Kaeding |
SDC |
WAS |
Despite resting its starters to some degree, San Diego will undoubtedly still put plenty of points on the scoreboard, providing Kaeding with ample opportunities as usual. ( 3 XPs, 2 FGs ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| Green Bay Packers |
GBP |
ARI |
May be playing an opponent that has nothing to play for. ( 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 2 Fumbles, 10 Points, 250 Yards ) |
| 0 |
Def |
| Arizona Cardinals |
ARI |
GBP |
Packer offense is hot right now and will stay that way. ( 2 sacks, 1 Fumble, 24 Points, 400 Yards ) |
