QB |
| Joe Flacco |
BAL |
OAK |
Not a great start against a tough pass defense, especially with such a woeful Oakland offense and run defense, but he's been playing better lately and he'll be needed to play well in the playoffs so expect them to throw some. ( 225 yds pass with 3 TDs ) |
| 34 |
QB |
| Donovan McNabb |
PHI |
DAL |
Dallas has only allowed one QB to throw for 300+ yards and that was back in week 2. McNabb threw two picks earlier this season against these Cowboys. ( 280 yds pass with 2 TDs and 2 Ints; 10 yds rush ) |
| 1 |
RB |
| Rashard Mendenhall |
PIT |
MIA |
The feature RB, but that doesn't say much on this pass heavy team. Outside of the two big prime-time performances he's been inconsistently mediocre most of the season, not a strong start this week, especially against a solid Miami run defense. ( 60 yds rush; 4 catches for 32 yds ) |
| 3 |
RB |
| Thomas Jones |
NYJ |
CIN |
Jones will see plenty of action at home against the Bengals. ( 70 yds rush and 1 TD; 3 catches for 20 yds ) |
| 1 |
RB |
| Ricky Williams |
MIA |
PIT |
Williams injured his shoulder last week and also faces the Steelers rushing defense this week. ( 60 yds rush; 3 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 0 |
WR |
| Hines Ward |
PIT |
MIA |
Check injury status later in the week. |
| 3 |
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 ) |
| 2 |
WR |
 | Sidney Rice |
MIN |
NYG |
Needs to have a big game. ( 7 catches for 90 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 4 |
TE |
| Kellen Winslow |
TBB |
ATL |
Has best rapport with Freeman. Will continue to lead the team's aerial attack. ( 5 catches for 75 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 3 |
TE |
| Tony Gonzalez |
ATL |
TBB |
Targets = Opportunity. It was not the year that Gonzo expected in Atlanta. We will see if he returns in 2010. ( 4 catches for 43 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 4 |
PK |
| Jay Feely |
NYJ |
CIN |
Feely has been one of the better fantasy kicker options the past few weeks. ( 2 XPs, 2 FGs ) |
| 3 |
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 ) |
| 3 |
Def |
| Cincinnati Bengals |
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. ( 2 sacks, 2 INTs, 1 Fumble, 27 Points, 394 Yards ) |
| 2 |
Def |
| Carolina Panthers |
CAR |
NOS |
New Orleans is not playing for anything. It will be interesting to see how long Sean Payton allows his starters to play. ( 3 sacks, 2 INTs, 17 Points, 250 Yards ) |
