| 17 |
QB |
| Peyton Manning |
IND |
BUF |
Likely won't play the entire game again in week 17 ( 150 yds pass with 2 TDs ) |
| 28 |
QB |
| Brett Favre |
MIN |
NYG |
No longer in the driver's seat, big numbers coming off a disappointing loss. ( 300 yds pass with 3 TDs ) |
| 15 |
RB |
| Marion BarberP |
DAL |
PHI |
Barber hasn't seen less than 14 carries since week 10 and now has 3 rushing TD's in the last two games. He's peaking at the right time for Dallas to make a nice run in this year's playoffs. ( 55 yds rush and 1 TD; 2 catches for 20 yds ) |
| 37 |
RB |
 | Ray Rice |
BAL |
OAK |
This week's #1 scorer! Oakland's run defense is non-existent, expect a show. ( 134 yds rush and 1 TD; 7 catches for 55 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 19 |
RB |
| Ryan Grant |
GBP |
ARI |
Will find the end zone at least once this week. ( 75 yds rush and 2 TDs ) |
| 13 |
RB |
| LaDainian Tomlinson |
SDC |
WAS |
Meager stats this week, as Tomlinson suits up and plays but at some point sits on the bench and takes a load off. ( 50 yds rush and 1 TD; 1 catch for 10 yds ) |
| 5 |
WR |
| Julian Edelman R |
NEP |
HOU |
Edelman is buried too far down the depth chart. ( 2 catches for 30 yds ) |
| 11 |
WR |
| Marques Colston |
NOS |
CAR |
Plays just enough to find the end-zone. He's a risky play if the Saints decide to sit their starters which it appears they will. ( 2 catches for 30 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 18 |
WR |
| Larry FitzgeraldP |
ARI |
GBP |
Will face a solid secondary but still get his usual stats. ( 5 catches for 70 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 7 |
WR |
 | Chad Ochocinco |
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. ( 3 catches for 44 yds ) |
| 15 |
TE |
 | Brent Celek |
PHI |
DAL |
Celek now has to be considered to be in the upper echelon of NFL TE's. He consistently gets the yardage and will score every other game. ( 4 catches for 55 yds and 1 TD ) |
| 9 |
PK |
| Jay Feely |
NYJ |
CIN |
Feely has been one of the better fantasy kicker options the past few weeks. ( 2 XPs, 2 FGs ) |
