| Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals - Thursday 8:25pm | | |
Seattle Seahawks |
Russell Wilson - - Every squirrel finds a nut once in awhile and that is what Wilson did last week. The Patriots took away Lynch and made Wilson beat them and he did just that. The Patriots are susceptible to the pass though, while the 49ers are one of the top pass defenses in the league, so don't expect a repeat this week.
|
|
Marshawn Lynch - - You can expect Lynch to carry the bulk of the load this week, though the 49ers run defense has been pretty good. He had mixed results last season against the Niners with a 100 yard performance at home and a poor performance on the road. With this one being on the road, it will probably be a tough one though he should get enough touches to have a chance to produce and he is one of the top RBs in the league for a reason.
|
Robert Turbin - - I may have as good a chance of getting a hit against Justin Verlander as he does of putting up any fantasy production, especially this week against a tough 49ers defense.
|
|
Percy Harvin - - Coming off another huge game and while the matchup this week leaves a lot to be desired, his ability to make big plays is just too hard to pass up, unless you are extremely loaded at WR. He was shutdown by the Cardinals in last year's meeting so definitely has more risk than usual.
|
Sidney Rice - - Coming off a good game thanks to a clutch touchdown, although it could be tough to replicate that performance this week against a tough 49ers pass defense that will look to clamp down on him.
|
Golden Tate - - His value has really been tied to touchdowns and with a tough matchup this week, it may be much tougher to find the end zone making him a risky option this week.
|
Doug Baldwin - - He found the end zone in both meetings with the 49ers last season, though his role is different this season making him a risky option, with a tough matchup to boot.
|
|
Zach Miller - - Coming off a rough game and while he does have his good times, it is tough to consider giving him a start against one of the top pass defenses in the league.
|
|
Steven Hauschka - - The Seahawks have been finding ways to get the job done, though this week they will likely have their hands full on the road against one of the elite defenses in the league. Thus Hauschka may need to be heavily involved in the scoring.
|
|
Seattle Seahawks - - The defense continues to play well and this week they face an 49ers offense that typically takes care of the ball, though is coming off a very bad week in which they struggled to protect the QB and the ball.
|
|
Arizona Cardinals |
Carson Palmer - - Has a couple 300 yard games and one three touchdown performance this season, so he is still capable of producing. This week's matchup could help his cause although he has been asked to hand the ball off a little more and this week he could hand it off even more to exploit the Jaguars iffy run defense. Definitely has the weapons to produce a good one though.
|
|
Rashard Mendenhall - - Just when he returned, he suffered and Achilles' injury that could limit him this week, so watch his status closely. Having the Sunday night game adds risk to using him. Definitely a good matchup if he is able to go, though the Steelers may continue to get Redman into the mix as well giving him risk as well. Sounds like he will sit out this week.
|
William Powell - - It appears that he will be the main option at RB in the near future, though Stephens-Howling will likely get some touches as well. An iffy matchup this week will likely make him a risky option this week, but if you are really in need of him, maybe he can help you out.
|
|
Larry Fitzgerald - - He has been frustrating at times this season, although he has the ability to go off any week. Not the best matchup this week and dealing with a QB switch. On the plus side, Skelton usually seemed to try and force the ball to Fitzgerald, which could allow Fitzgerald to elevate his production.
|
Andre Roberts - - Was quiet last week and he could be the biggest loser with the Kolb injury as Skelton's history of heavily relying on Fitzgerald does not bode well for the value of Roberts.
|
Michael Floyd - - The rookie is still not seeing enough action on offense and now has to deal with a quarterback change. Maybe that will help his cause, though I would not bet on it.
|
|
Robert Housler - - Still not involved in the offense enough even with Heap out, so continue to bypass him when considering your starting lineup.
|
|
Jay Feely - - The offense has yet another injury to deal with, so who knows how they will bounce back this week. They face a good Vikings defense to boot, although that could mean Feely has to be counted on more for scoring.
|
|
Arizona Cardinals - - The defense has been playing well and making big plays. This week they could have their hands full against an offense that typically protects the ball although Ponder did turn it over three times last week, including a pick six.

Prediction: Arizona Cardinals 13 - Seattle Seahawks 13 | | Buffalo Bills at Miami Dolphins - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
Buffalo Bills |
Kevin Kolb - - Injuries to his chest and ribs are expected to cost him at least six weeks, so time to forget about him.
|
|
C.J. Spiller - - Continues to make big plays and while he has some risk since F-Jax appears to be the goal line option, his ability to make big plays on any touch make him a good starting option, especially considering this week's favorable matchup.
|
Fred Jackson - - Coming off a nice performance and has some very nice upside again this week against a struggling Titans defense. He would likely get the goal line carries, though Spiller's presence does not exactly help his fantasy cause.
|
|
Stevie Johnson - - Was solid last week and Fitzpatrick seemed to look his way almost every time he dropped back when he was not throwing to a RB. With a good matchup this week, he could be a nice option at WR.
|
T.J. Graham - - The rookie is still not producing enough to merit starting him, even with a favorable matchup this week.
|
Brad Smith - - Still nowhere to be found in the offense making him a very poor fantasy option.
|
|
Scott Chandler - - Continues to be very inconsistent though this week's favorable matchup could allow him to be a pleasant surprise if you need to pickup a tight end for this week. Still a risky option, but at least he has upside this week.
|
|
Rian Lindell - - The offense should be able to put up good numbers this week against a struggling Titans defense and allow Lindell to be a productive member of the fantasy football society.
|
|
Buffalo Bills - - The defense has failed to live up to its hype although they have made some big plays and have done a good job pressuring the QB at times. The Titans offense is not spectacular, though with the veteran QB at the helm, mistakes could be at a minimum.
|
|
Miami Dolphins |
|
|
Mike Wallace - - He just continues to roll and has another good matchup this week against a struggling Bengals pass defense, though the banged up o-line will need to step it up and give Big Ben some time to throw.
|
Brandon Gibson - - Coming off a good game and appears to be emerging as the next Rams go to receiver. Since the Rams may be forced to air it out often this week, he should be a good gamble this week with a good bit of upside.
|
Armon Binns - - While he has had a few good moments, his production has not been good enough to consider him a viable starting option, especially against a tough Steelers pass defense.
|
|
Dustin Keller - - Still not producing enough to consider him worth taking a chance on, especially considering the struggles of the Jets passing attack.

Prediction: Buffalo Bills 27 - Miami Dolphins | | New England Patriots at New York Jets - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
New England Patriots |
Tom Brady - - While the Jets have slowed him some in the past, he has given them trouble more often than not and with Revis out, that should only help. This year the Patriots have run it more than in the past and the Jets have struggled against the run, so Brady may not throw it as much as in the past. But his upside is off the chart and he could certainly light them up again, so keep plugging him in unless you are really loaded at QB.
|
|
Stevan Ridley - - Cooled off last week although this week he has a good chance to get back on track against a Jets defense that has been very susceptible to the run. So expect the Patriots to get him going again this week.
|
Shane Vereen - - Still not involved in the offense anywhere near enough to consider him a viable option. Please continue exploring other options.
|
Brandon Bolden - - Between the limited role and the injured knee, it is probably in your best interest to forget about this option with a limited history of success.
|
LeGarrette Blount - - Continues to see some touches and is expected to remain the goal line guy. This week he has a favorable matchup against a struggling Saints defense, so could certainly get a chance or two at the end zone.
|
Leon Washington - - Still not touching the ball enough to consider him a key to fantasy success. Move along please.
|
|
Julian Edelman - - Still battling that injured hand, so I'd continue to stay away from him until he proves he is worthy (Or maybe I should say if).
|
Donald Jones - - Coming off a down week as he continues to be very inconsistent. A good matchup this week does help his cause, but with the Bills looking to run the ball more and more, as well as using the RBs heavily as receivers, it may limit his chances.
|
Michael Jenkins - - Coming off a good game as he continued to show his extreme inconsistency. The expected return of Simpson will likely minimize the chances of replicating that effort this week, especially considering he faces a good Cardinals pass defense.
|
|
Rob Gronkowski - - Has been held out of the end zone for two straight weeks, which seems like an eternity for him. He has one modest game and one monster game against the Jets last season and should be heavily involved in the passing game with the WR position banged up.
|
Aaron Hernandez - - Coming off a nice game in his return and will look to keep it rolling this week. While the Jets pass defense has been good, the Patriots are very familiar with them and have plenty of weapons to keep it going. With the WR position so banged up, he could be very involved in the offense.
|
|
Stephen Gostkowski - - The offense should continue to roll this week and once again give the Jets trouble getting Gostkowski plenty of scoring chances again this time around.
|
|
New England Patriots - - The defense has a knack for making big plays and has had some huge games against the Jets and Sanchez in the past. Plenty of mistakes turned into touchdowns, so might as well roll with them yet again and see if they can make it happen again.
|
|
New York Jets |
Mark Sanchez - - Has struggled to produce this season and there is risk that Tebow could get a shot at some point. He has had some success against the Patriots in the past, though also has struggled as well. Considering the unproven WR corps, it may be best to explore other alternatives at QB.
|
|
Mike Goodson - - Likely will not touch the ball enough to fully take advantage of a great matchup this week. Maybe if you are desperate for RB help you can take a big chance on him and hope he can make a big play or two.
|
Bilal Powell - - Will sit this one out thanks to an injured shoulder, so move along. Nothing to see here.
|
Joe McKnight - - Injured ankle will likely keep him out this week and considering his limited role when healthy, there is no need to even consider for a second starting him.
|
|
Stephen Hill - - Injured hamstring is still a factor which could make it tough for him to really get it going. While he did find the end zone last week, the rookie is still not producing enough to merit starting unless you are really in a bind.
|
Jeremy Kerley - - May be the safest option of the group. Of course that really is not saying much since the Jets WR position has struggled, especially since Holmes was lost for the season.
|
|
|
Nick Folk - - The offense is coming off a nice game, unfortunately it has been one of the few good games. While the Patriots defense is not exactly stellar, they certainly are capable of making it tough on a struggling offense that they have had success against in the pass. Folk has not been consistently producing making him a risky option.
|
|
New York Jets - - The defense is still capable of making big plays, though this week they will have their hands full with a talented Patriots offense that has given the Jets trouble in the past and this time there is no Revis for Brady to worry about.

Prediction: New England Patriots 31 - New York Jets 20 | | San Diego Chargers at Jacksonville Jaguars - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
San Diego Chargers |
|
Danny Woodhead - - Makes an occasional big play here or there, however he typically has not produced enough to be consider a viable starting option. A good matchup could help his cause if you really are desperate for RB help.
|
|
|
|
| |
Jacksonville Jaguars |
Blaine Gabbert - - The youngster put together a solid performance in Week One and has done very little since. While he has a good matchup this week, he is still not producing enough to consider him worth taking a chance on.
|
|
Maurice Jones-Drew - - Has been quiet the last couple games after a strong start to the season. He faces a Raiders defense that has struggled against the run and the pass, so expect MJD to be heavily involved in both the running and passing attack.
|
Justin Forsett - - Even if Tate sits out again, he likely will not touch the ball enough to have any fantasy value, so move along and find yourself a real fantasy option.
|
|
Cecil Shorts - - A good matchup could help his cause this week, not that he has been the most productive WR in the football world this season. Definitely a gamble, but if you are really in a pinch for WR help, maybe he could surprise this week.
|
Mohamed Massaquoi - - Still suffering from that injured hamstring and even if he can go, he could be slowed down. So it is definitely in your best interest to look elsewhere.
|
Justin Blackmon - - The rookie has slowly started to come on and maybe the bye week will help the Jaguars passing game show some life. The Raiders can be thrown on, so maybe if you are in a bind, he could help you escape it. Risky option, although one with some upside this week.
|
|
Marcedes Lewis - - The most proven of the receiving weapons could be used more this week against a struggling Raiders pass defense to try and get the passing attack going. Still risky considering the struggles of Gabbert, though having two weeks to prepare could definitely help.
|
|
Josh Scobee - - The offense certainly has left a lot to be desired this season although this week's favorable matchup could help get Scobee enough scoring chances to help your cause. Though I still like my fantasy kickers to be on a more productive offense.
|
|
Jacksonville Jaguars - - The defense has really struggled and has been a very poos fantasy defense with only three sacks on the season and only a handful of turnovers forced. The one thing they have going for them is that Palmer has been known to throw an ill advised pass here and there. Very risky option though.

Prediction: Jacksonville Jaguars 17 - San Diego Chargers | | Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
Houston Texans |
Matt Schaub - - He has only put up two multi-TD games as he continues to be more of a game manager than a guy to carry the team by throwing it 40+ times. Sure he could go off any week, but he is more likely to put up limited production that to put up a huge game.
|
|
Arian Foster - - He had one good game and one iffy one last season against the Ravens. This year's Ravens defense is not as fearsome though, especially now that the injury bug has run rampant in the Ravens locker room. You can expect a busy day from Foster and will likely continue to put up his usually strong numbers.
|
Ben Tate - - That injured toe is still bothering him and even if he can play, it likely would be in a limited role so I'd recommend bypassing him again this week.
|
|
Andre Johnson - - I wonder if AJ lays in bed at night and dreams of playing on a pass happy offense, like the Packers showed him up close and personally last week. Has the ability to go off any week and actually has a solid matchup this week as the Ravens defense is not exactly what it once was. Not to mention, he has a pretty good game against the Ravens in last season's playoffs.
|
Keshawn Martin - - Has not shown any indications that he is worthy of a spot in your starting lineup, so I'd strongly, STRONGLY, recommend you look elsewhere for WR help.
|
|
Owen Daniels - - Has battled inconsistency this season, as most of the Texans passing attack has. Was pretty quiet in both meetings with the Ravens last season, although he certainly is capable of producing against the banged up Ravens defense.
|
|
|
Houston Texans - - The defense will be looking to bounce back from a horrible week. It may not be a great week as the Ravens typically do a good job of not beating themselves. On the plus side, the Texans defense has been pretty good and still have plenty of play makers.
|
|
Kansas City Chiefs |
Alex Smith - - Smith threw for a grand total of 303 yards against the Seahawks last season without a single passing touchdown, though he did run one on. Considering he has been inconsistent and Kaepernick has started to see a little more time, it may be best to avoid him if you can.
|
|
|
Donnie Avery - - Has quietly been producing this season and has a good matchup this week. With Haden looking to slow down Wayne, Avery may be asked to take on a larger role in the passing game giving him some very nice potential this week.

Prediction: Houston Texans 23 - Kansas City Chiefs | | Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
Dallas Cowboys |
Tony Romo - - Maybe the offensive line woes are over since they gave Romo time to throw and he came away with a good performance. This week he faces a Panthers defense that has struggled, though they have done a good job making TDs hard to come by via the air.
|
|
DeMarco Murray - - Out this week with an injured foot so forget about him this week. Expects to return in Week Eight.
|
Phillip Tanner - - With Murray out, he likely will see some touches to pickup the slack. His value will be limited as Jones will likely be the main option at RB again this week.
|
|
Dez Bryant - - Coming off a big game which is what fantasy owners have expected from him all along. This week he has a good matchup so hopefully he can build upon last week and use it as a springboard to a strong finish to the season.
|
Miles Austin - - Cooled off last week as Bryant really started to roll, though he has proven he can produce and does have a solid matchup this week, so definitely has upside.
|
|
Jason Witten - - Coming off another good game as he has found his pre-injury form. With a nice matchup this week, he certainly has plenty of potential to produce this week.
|
|
Dan Bailey - - Hopefully the late miss that cost the Cowboys the game last week does not haunt him (Maybe cost is a bad choice of words considering all the other plays that cost them). They have a good matchup this week, so should again be able to get him scoring chances.
|
|
Dallas Cowboys - - While the defense has not been the best fantasy defense this year, they could benefit from facing a Panthers offense that is still trying to find its groove. Though coming out of the bye, maybe they got things worked out.

Arrelious Benn - - Please disperse. Nothing to see here. Move along please.

Prediction: Dallas Cowboys 24 - Philadelphia Eagles | | Chicago Bears at Washington Redskins - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
Chicago Bears |
Jay Cutler - - Has put up good numbers in back-to-back weeks and likely will look to keep it rolling this week against a Lions defense that is susceptible to the pass.
|
|
Matt Forte - - Expect him to see plenty of touches again this week and while the Lions run defense has been solid, he has experienced plenty of success in the past and will likely give them trouble on the ground and in the passing game.
|
Michael Bush - - Forte is expected to be the main option and carry the bulk of the load. Nonetheless, if you are desperate for RB help, you could roll the dice on Bush and hope he finds the end zone. His reliance on the touchdown makes him a very hit-or-miss option.
|
|
Brandon Marshall - - Coming off a monster game and Cutler just keeps forcing it Marshall's way and that is not liable to stop anytime soon as the Bears other WRs have failed to step it up. Got to keep riding his hot streak.
|
Alshon Jeffery - - An injured hand will keep him out a couple more weeks, so continue to forget about the rookie.
|
Earl Bennett - - Between the injured hand and the very limited production, I'd say it is pretty safe to pass up on Cutler's old college teammate.
|
Devin Hester - - While he is capable of making a big play, they are just too few and far between to merit taking a chance on him. I can barely remember the last time he was effective as a fantasy WR.
|
|
Martellus Bennett - - That knee injury has slowed him down some, nonetheless he has a great matchup this week and could be worth rolling the dice on regardless. Just keep an eye on that knee and if there are any doubts, find yourself another option.
|
|
Robbie Gould - - The offense has been rolling and this week they face a defense that has been inconsistent, though one that could make it tough to finish drives resulting in Gould FG attempts.
|
|
Chicago Bears - - The defense continues to play well and this week they face a Lions offense that while has talent, has not lived up to expectations yet and has struggled with turnovers at times.
|
|
Washington Redskins |
Robert Griffin III - - Coming off another huge game and has turned into an every week starting option thanks to his ability to make huge plays with his arm and legs. Certainly helps to face a struggling Giants defense, albeit one that has been improving as they have gotten healthy.
|
|
Alfred Morris - - The rookie just continues to produce as defenses are forced to try and contain RG3, which allows Morris to just keep producing. Another solid matchup this week makes him a worthy option yet again.
|
Evan Royster - - Still nowhere to be seen on the fantasy radar, so continue to bypass on him.
|
|
Pierre Garcon - - That foot is still a huge factor and forced him to sit out last week and could lead to another week on the sidelines. If he can go, he may be limited making him a risky option, even though he has a nice matchup this week. May be best to sit on him until he proves he is healthy enough to fulyl contribute.
|
Josh Morgan - - While he may have his good moments, he has been too inconsistent to consider him a good option. A good matchup this week does give him some nice upside though.
|
Santana Moss - - Has shown a little more potential of late with Garcon injured. A nice matchup this week does give him some upside, so if you are desperate for WR help, he could pay off.
|
Leonard Hankerson - - Has been very up and down although with a nice matchup this week, he could certainly be a decent gamble as RG3 has done a good job of spreading the wealth. Definitely a hit-or-miss option though.
|
Aldrick Robinson - - His looks are just way too few and far between to consider him a viable fantasy option.
|
|
Fred Davis - - Had a big game against the G-Men last season and the way RG3 gets everyone involved in the passing game he could certainly get it done again. Has been a little hot-and-cold this season, though it certainly helps to have a favorable matchup this week.
|
|
Kai Forbath - - Coming off a good start to his Redskins career and this week the Redskins face a defense that has struggled much of the season, which should allow Forbath to get a few scoring chances again this week.
|
|
Washington Redskins - - The defense is coming off a big game and has done a great job turning mistakes into touchdowns. The Giants typically don't make many mistakes although the Redskins did have the Giants number last season.

Prediction: Washington Redskins 27 - Chicago Bears 27 | | Cincinnati Bengals at Detroit Lions - Sunday 1:00pm | | |
Cincinnati Bengals |
Andy Dalton - - Coming off another big game and did have some success against Pittsburgh last season. Nonetheless, he has a decent amount of risk this week as the Steelers have been good against the pass this season. Having a weapon like A.J. Green whom you can just chuck the ball up to and he seemingly comes down with it more often than not certainly helps his cause. Has been on a nice fantasy roll, so certainly merits another start, even with a less than ideal matchup.
|
John Skelton - - Back to the starting lineup with Kolb out for awhile with an injuries. Did not show much last week in limited action, albeit can be tough to come in with no preparation. Not the ideal matchup this week, so you probably should wait for him to prove he is a worthy option before relying on him.
|
|
BenJarvus Green-Ellis - - Has been held out of the end zone for a few weeks and has not exactly been lighting it up lately. Though a short TD can happen any week against any defense, so he does have that going for him. This week's iffy matchup does not exactly help his cause though.
|
Cedric Peerman - - Was a huge threat in the passing game last week and could get a chance to fill the role Bernard Scott was expected to have before being lost to injury. If the running game continues to be stagnant, he could surprise this week. Definitely a big gamble though, probably one that is not recommended.
|
|
A.J. Green - - He just keeps lighting it up every week and does not seemed to be phased by double and sometimes triple teams (Or so it seems). Found the end zone in both meetings against the Steelers last season and has pretty much turned into a no brainer option at WR.
|
Andrew Hawkins - - Certainly is capable of making big plays any week, but his number of touches have been inconsistent and an iffy matchup this week does not exactly make you feel all warm and fuzzy about this week's performance.
|
Brandon Tate - - His role in the passing game is just too small to consider him worthy of a spot on your fantasy squad, much less a spot in your lineup.
|
|
Jermaine Gresham - - Coming off a solid game and had some success last season against the Steelers. With the defense focusing on AJ, he can slip past them to make a big play or two.
|
|
Mike Nugent - - The offense has the weapons to move the ball on the Steelers, but they could find the going tough in the red zone and be forced to settle for Nugent FG attempts this week.
|
|
Cincinnati Bengals - - The defense continues to put a ton of pressure on the QB and is one of the leaders in sacks this season. They could definitely benefit from facing a Steelers o-line that has not exactly been stellar and lost a couple cogs last week.
|
|
Detroit Lions |
Matthew Stafford - - Has not exactly lived up to his lofty draft spot this season, though with the Bears tough to run on, he could be asked to really air it out this week. Has had mixed results against the Bears, but when you have Megatron at your disposal, you can certainly get the job done any week. The Stafford-Johnson connection is overdue for another TD.
|
|
Mikel Leshoure - - While he has shown some flashes of potential and could turn into a nice option long term, this week he will have his hands full against the league's top ranked run defense. So it is probably a good week to explore other options if you can.
|
Joique Bell - - Likely will see some touches, though there will probably not be enough of them to merit starting him, especially against a tough Bears run defense.
|
|
Calvin Johnson - - Megatron continues to irk fantasy owners with only one touchdown through five games. He did give the Bears fits last season and you drafted him high for a reason. Do you really want to sit him and then watch him have one of those huge performances that have been routine in the past? Didn't think so.
|
Nate Burleson - - Did have some success against the Bears last season although he has been inconsistent as all heck this season. The Bears can be thrown on though, if you can protect the QB, so he certainly could be in for one of those good games. You just never know with him.
|
Mike Thomas - - Still not involved in the passing game enough to merit starting him, even though he has a nice matchup this week.
|
|
Brandon Pettigrew - - Has been like a roller coaster at times though he certainly has the skills to produce and with the WRs not exactly stepping it up, he could come up big any week.
|
Tony Scheffler - - Coming off a solid game, though Pettigrew is still the better TE option. Although Scheffler could be gambled on in a pinch if your options are limited. Hope you don't need to reach this far though.
|
|
David Akers - - The Seahawks defense continues to play well and will likely make it tough on the 49ers offense, which could lead to a very busy day for Akers, who will look to bounce back from a tough two miss week.
|
|
Detroit Lions - - The defense has failed to meet expectations (I see a common theme with the Lions and failure to meet expectations), but they could certainly benefit from facing a Bears offense that has struggled to protect Cutler at times, who in turn has struggled to take care of the ball.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers |
Josh Freeman - - Coming off a big game and this week he could build upon that against a struggling Saints pass defense that he has had success against in the past. The Saints offense should be able to throw it successfully as well, so Freeman may be forced to win a shootout.
|
|
Doug Martin - - Should continue to get a solid amount of touches and should benefit from a good matchup this week against a struggling Saints defense. His receiving skills could come in quite handy this week as well.
|
|
Vincent Jackson - - Coming off a big game with a pair of touchdowns and with a great matchup this week you might as well keep running him out there. It sure would be nice to see him catch a few more passes, so maybe this week he can really step it up.
|
Mike Williams - - Coming off back-to-back 100 yard games and found the end zone to boot last week. Though for the season he only has 15 receptions, which is about three a week. So he has some risk, but a great matchup this week makes him a worthwhile starting option.
|
Tiquan Underwood - - Sure he will catch an occasional pass, but more often than not he will struggle to have any fantasy value, even though he has a favorable matchup this week.
|
Kevin Ogletree - - Continues to have owners longing for a repeat of that Week One performance which is likely not going to happen. Hopefully you don't need to rely on him, but if you do, maybe the solid matchup will help his cause.
|
|
Luke Stocker - - Just not involved in the passing game enough to consider him worth starting, even though he has a nice matchup this week.
|
Tom Crabtree - - Found the end zone last week and with Finley banged up maybe he can surprise again. Ideally you can find a much safer option with more upside on the waiver wire.
|
|
Connor Barth - - The offense should be able to keep it going this week as they face a Saints offense that has really struggled against both the run and the pass.
|
|
Tampa Bay Buccaneers - - The Bucs defense has done a nice job of converting mistakes into points and the Saints offense has been a little off this season although they still have a ton of weapons. They did pick off Brees four times in last year's meetings.
|
|
Atlanta Falcons |
|
Steven Jackson - - Was quiet last week as Richardson has started to steal more touches. Should continue to get a solid number of touches and had some success against the Packers last season. Is becoming a riskier option as his touches diminish.

Sam Bradford - - Coming off a solid game and did go over 300 yards in last years meeting with the Packers, though was help out of the end zone. Likely will have to air it out again this season and the Packers pass defense is average.
|
|
Daryl Richardson - - The rookie has been coming on and has started to see more touches, though S-Jax should still be the main option. But Richardson could be a nice surprise at times. Not a bad matchup this week, though the Rams may be forced to throw it more this week to play keep up.
|
|
Chris Givens - - The rookie is coming off a solid game and could become a bigger part of the passing game. A nice matchup this week gives him some good upside, although you need to proceed with caution as he only has a grand total of seven receptions on the season. So he is on the radar, but probably not quite ready to start, unless you are really in a bind.
|
Brian Quick - - Still nowhere to be found, so you should continue to forget about him.
|
Austin Pettis - - Still not seeing enough balls thrown his way to merit starting, though maybe if the Rams really have to air it out, he could surprise. Hopefully you don't have to reach this far.
|
|
Jared Cook - - He been inconsistent although he has put up nice numbers at times. A good matchup this week could help, though as Britt gets healthier and Wright gets more experience, you have to wonder if that will cut into Cook's looks.
|
Lance Kendricks - - Has been quiet more often than not, though this week's matchup could allow him to surprise, as he did last season against the Packers with four receptions for 71 yards.
|
|
Greg Zuerlein - - The Rams offense has improved from last year, though the Packers will likely make it tough to finish drives forcing the Rams to rely on their rookie kicker's leg again this week. Coming off a rough week with three misses, but should get a chance to redeem himself this week.
|
|
St. Louis Rams - - The defense can get after the QB and the Packers o-line has had some tough games, though they are coming off a good game. But the Rams could be extra fired up at home and put some pressure on Mr. discount double check.
|
|
Carolina Panthers |
Cam Newton - - The sophomore slump continues and it could be another tough week for Cam as the Cowboys are very hard to throw on. Luckily for Newton he is a capable runner and may have to rely heavily on his legs this week giving him potential to produce.
|
|
Jonathan Stewart - - The Panthers will likely rely on the running game this week, so Stewart should get his chances to make a big play or two and maybe he can crash into the end zone. Though D-Will will likely see more touches giving him more upside.
|
DeAngelo Williams - - With the Cowboys so tough against the pass, the Panthers are liable to rely heavily on the running game this week, so the RB by committee should be in full swing this week. Should continue to see more touches than Stewart, but still not expected to carry a full load.
|
Mike Tolbert - - His role in the offense is just not large enough to merit starting him, no matter how desperate you are for RB help.
|
|
Steve Smith - - Has cooled off after a hot start and this week it could be tough to get it going as the Cowboys have the league's top ranked pass defense. His ability to make big plays gives him some upside, though if you have another good option you should strongly consider it this week.
|
Brandon LaFell - - Has his moments though this week he could struggle to produce as the Cowboys secondary has done a very good job limiting production from WRs. Thus it is probably a wise move to find a WR with a much better matchup.
|
Domenik Hixon - - With Nicks banged up, he has stepped it up making himself a decent fantasy option. If Nicks plays, he will likely see a little less action, though he should still have a chance to produce solid numbers against a struggling Redskins pass defense. Upgrade him a little if Nicks is inactive.
|
Ted Ginn Jr. - - Still not seeing enough action on offense to consider him a worthwhile fantasy option. I'd definitely bypass him and find yourself someone else.
|
|
Greg Olsen - - Cooled off last time out and this week's matchup is another tough one. Though with the Cowboys CBs looking to lock down the WRs, he could be a key to throwing the ball and get some solid numbers. Still a riskier option than usual.
|
|
|
Carolina Panthers - - The defense has been inconsistent, but has proven to be capable of producing and are facing a Cowboys offense that has also struggling with consistency. The Cowboys o-line has had a rough season, though they showed great improvement last week.

Prediction: Carolina Panthers 20 - Saint Louis Rams 17 | | San Francisco 49ers at Tennessee Titans - Sunday 4:05pm | | |
San Francisco 49ers |
|
Frank Gore - - Has a great history against the Seahawks although they had some success slowing him down last season and this year running room has been tough to come by for opponents. You can bet Gore will be busy this week after only getting eight carries last week as the 49ers look to get back to their winning ways in a key divisional matchup.
|
Kendall Hunter - - Has been solid at times though this week he faces a tough run defense and likely will see limited carries again making him an iffy fantasy option at best.
|
|
Michael Crabtree - - Coming off a quiet game although he does have the skills to produce any week if the QB cooperates. Last season he had mixed results with the Seahawks, whose defense is more susceptible to the pass than the run.
|
Anquan Boldin - - Flacco has really started to utilize his veteran WR for clutch plays, which has allowed him to out up some solid receiving numbers, although touchdowns have been harder to come by. An iffy matchup this week may make the end zone tough to find again, but he is certainly capable of making some clutch catches.
|
Kyle Williams - - Sure he has an occasional good moment, but for the most part his fantasy value is pretty limited making him a less than ideal starting option.
|
Mario Manningham - - He is coming off a nice performance against his former team as he has slowly become a bigger part of the offense. Not a bad matchup this week, nonetheless he still has not been the most productive fantasy option this season and this game has low scoring, defensive battle written all over it making him a risky option, especially if you factor in the tweaked shoulder.
|
|
Vernon Davis - - Struggled last week and did not exactly light up the Seahawks last season making him a riskier than usual option. Nonetheless he has the talent to produce any week making him a worthy gamble since it is unlikely a better TE is available on the waiver wire.
|
|
Phil Dawson - - The offense continues to improve and should be able to move the ball on the ground, even if Richardson is unable to play. Finishing the drives could be a tougher task with all the injuries forcing Dawson into action.
|
|
San Francisco 49ers - - The defense continues to make big plays and this week they have the benefit of facing a rookie QB who has struggled protecting the ball at times.
|
|
Tennessee Titans |
Jake Locker - - That shoulder is still a factor which will force him to sit out again this week.
|
Ryan Fitzpatrick - - After a hot start to the season, he has failed to produce anything the last couple games, albeit against good defenses. This week he has the luxury of facing a struggling Titans defense, though the Bills may again heavily employ their RB by committee limiting the times Fitzpatrick has to drop back to pass. Though he certainly has some nice upside as he has proven in the past he can go off at times.
|
|
Chris Johnson - - Put up solid numbers last week, though this week could be the one owners have been waiting for as he faces the league's worst ranked rush defense whom he lit up for 153 yards and a pair of touchdowns back in December. Harper did steal a touchdown last week, though CJ (No longer deserving of CJ2k) did get the first crack at it. Really great upside this week, so if you have him you might as well gamble on him.
|
Shonn Greene - - Coming off a monster game against a poor run defense. This week he faces a better defense that will likely key on taking him away and force the Jets to win with the passing game. Risky option although he does have a little upside after last week if he can stay hot and if the Jets ride him hard again.
|
Jamie Harper - - Found the end zone last week and there are rumors he could start seeing more action in short-yardage and goal line situations, so he has a little upside. But his reliance on touchdowns will make him a very hit-or-miss option
|
|
Kenny Britt - - Coming off a good game, though did struggle holding on to the ball. Hasselbeck looked his way often though and with a good matchup this week, he could be a pleasant surprise if you need to take a chance on him.
|
Kendall Wright - - The rookie is coming off another solid performance and seems to improve with each passing week. A good matchup this week could help his cause, though it may come down to how much the Titans throw the ball this week. Do like his potential to produce if you need to take a chance on him this week.
|
Damian Williams - - Ummm, Yeah, I don't know how to break this to you, but Williams fantasy value, well it sucks. Just find yourself another option please.
|
Nate Washington - - While he has his moments and a good matchup this week, a healthier Britt and the oncoming Wright could really begin to cut into his fantasy value, which is already a little lacking. Probably would be be to explore other options.
|
Kevin Walter - - Same old, same old. He will have an occasional good game, but more often than not will have very limited production making him nothing more than an option to start if the waiver wire is bare and your options are extremely limited.
|
|
Delanie Walker - - It is no longer 2010 or 2011 when he actually had some good moments, so it should be pretty safe to move along and find yourself another starting option at tight end.
|
|
Rob Bironas - - After a couple horrid games, he was able to breakout last week as the Titans pulled off the upset. This week the offense faces a Bills defense that has really been struggling which could make for another busy day for Bironas.
|
|
Tennessee Titans - - For the most part the Titans defense has struggling in 2012. This week they could surprise though as they face a Bills offense that has not exactly been a pillar of consistency and has struggled protecting the ball at times.

Prediction: Tennessee Titans 24 - San Francisco 49ers 19 | | Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers - Sunday 4:25pm | | |
Baltimore Ravens |
Joe Flacco - - Has cooled off after a hot start to the season and will likely have his hands full this week against a good Texans pass defense, that will likely be extra motivated after being embarrassed by the Packers last week. Flacco and the Ravens passing game is not near as talented as the Packers.
|
|
Ray Rice - - Rice had mixed results against the Texans last season with one good game and one in which he struggled. He has the talent to produce against any defense and you took him high to play him, so unless you are super loaded at RB, run him out yet again.
|
Bernard Pierce - - Expect more of the same from Pierce, that being a very limited role in the offense and no real fantasy value.
|
|
Torrey Smith - - Can make a big play any week and does have some upside after what the Packers did to the Texans pass defense this week. Still riskier than usual although he certainly has the skills to produce so there is no need to start a lesser option over him. Needless to say, if you have another good option with a better matchup, you may want to consider starting them over Smith.
|
Jacoby Jones - - Sure he could make a big play although that is unlikely considering the iffy matchup he has this week.
|
|
Dennis Pitta - - Has cooled off of late as Flacco has looked the way of Boldin more in recent weeks. An iffy matchup this week does not exactly help his cause of bouncing back. Maybe the Ravens will try to use him more this week, but it is a gamble.
|
Ed Dickson - - Still not producing enough to merit starting him unless you are really in a bind, especially once you factor in the tough matchup this week.
|
|
Justin Tucker - - The Ravens offense has the weapons to move the ball, but will likely find the going tough in the red zone and be forced to settle for some FG attempts this week.
|
|
Baltimore Ravens - - The defense has lost some key pieces, so could continue to slip from being one of the elite units. Will have their hands full this week with a talented Texans offense that typically does a good job of protecting the ball. Likely will be an adjustment period while they learn to live without their leader Lewis.
|
|
Pittsburgh Steelers |
Ben Roethlisberger - - Has a good history against the Bengals, but there is a definite red flag this time around. His already struggling offensive line lost two pieces last week and it sounds like both could miss this week, which does not bode well when facing one of the league's top sacking defenses. So Big Ben could be dealing with pressure all day, testing his escapability to the max. With the running game so banged up, he likely will have to air it out and if he gets time, he can torch that struggling Bengal secondary.
|
|
Isaac Redman - - Was deadly as a receiver last week although he is suffering from an injured ankle this week. Watch his status closely, as well as the status of Mendy. A good matchup gives him upside though who knows just how the Steelers RB by committee will play out this week. Playing a late game also makes him a risky option since the RB situation could be up in the air until kickoff. Sounds like he will miss out on this game.
|
LaRod Stephens-Howling - - It appears that Powell will be the main option at RB, especially after LRSH did little in an expanded role last week. An iffy matchup won't help his cause.
|
Jonathan Dwyer - - With Mendenhall and Redman both dinged up, he could get a chance to play this week and face a Bengals run defense that has struggled. Though he really only has value if one or both is unable to play (And really you'd probably only want to start him if both were out).
|
|
Antonio Brown - - Cooled off last week although he should benefit from a favorable matchup this week against a team he had some success against last season.
|
Emmanuel Sanders - - Is capable of making a big play, especially since the Bengals can be thrown on. On the downside, he is probably way too inconsistent with few good games to merit starting him, unless you are desperate.
|
Jerricho Cotchery - - I'd continue to pass on him since he rarely gets a look from Big Ben anymore and spends most of his time on the sidelines.
|
|
Heath Miller - - Continues to produce and while the Bengals did shut him down last season, this year he has been much more involved, while the Bengals have been susceptible to the tight end.
|
|
Shaun Suisham - - The offense will have to overcome some injuries this week, which could mean that Suisham has to be counted on for more scoring.
|
|
Pittsburgh Steelers - - The defense has not exactly lived up to the hype, though injuries have not helped their cause. This week they face a solid offense, though Dalton is challenging Palmer's Bengal record for Pick Sixes in a season and is coming of a four turnover performance against the Browns.

Prediction: Pittsburgh Steelers 20 - Baltimore Ravens 20 | | Cleveland Browns at Green Bay Packers - Sunday 4:25pm | | |
Cleveland Browns |
Brandon Weeden - - The rookie is coming off another good game and continues to prove he can lead this offense. This week he will have his hands full with a good Colts pass defense, though with Richardson banged up he may have to throw it a little more than the Browns would like.
|
|
Trent Richardson - - Those injured ribs could force him to sit this one out, which sucks considering how poorly the Colts have defended the run this season. If he can go, the risk it probably worth it, even though there is risk he may not be able to carry much of a load. Watch this situation closely.
|
Montario Hardesty - - If Richardson is unable to go, he will get another chance to shine against one of the league's worst run defenses. Has done little in his career, though he did show some nice flashes last week giving him plenty of upside and a worthwhile option to start if T-Rich sits out.
|
Chris Ogbonnaya - - Gets an occasional bone thrown his direction and maybe if Richardson can't play, he will see more action. It is probably in your best interest to not gamble on him unless the options are extremely limited and the Browns have to go without their stud RB.
|
|
Josh Gordon - - The rookie has started to show off his big play ability (More receptions would be nice) and looking to prove he was worth the 2nd round pick in the supplemental draft. Tough matchup this week, although big plays can happen any week giving him some upside to go along with a lot of risk.
|
Greg Little - - Has made some big plays to go along with a lot of drops and quiet performances. An iffy matchup this week makes him a bigger gamble than usual and currently he is like trying to draw to the inside straight.
|
Travis Benjamin - - Still dealing with that injured knee and considering he is seeing limited touches when he is healthy, there is no need to risk gambling on him when not 100%.
|
|
Jordan Cameron - - May have his moments and could make a big play here or there, but the lack of touches and the iffy matchup this week leave a lot to be desired.
|
Kellen Davis - - The good times have just not been occurring enough to consider him worth starting when there are plenty of options likely on the waiver wire with more upside and less risk.
|
|
Shayne Graham - - The Texans have more than enough weapons to move the ball on the banged up Ravens defense, though they still have enough weapons to make it tough to finish the drives and press Graham into action.
|
|
Cleveland Browns - - The return of Haden gave the Browns defense a big shot in the arm. Are capable of making big plays and could benefit from facing a rookie QB, although Luck has played better than your typical rookie, especially at home. The return skills of Cribbs certainly help the chances of them producing good fantasy numbers.
|
|
Green Bay Packers |
Aaron Rodgers - - Finally went off like owners expected all season, against one of the top defenses in the league, on the road to boot. Definitely got to run him out again this week, even though the Rams defense has been pretty good against the pass this season.
|
|
Alex Green - - Carried the bulk of the load last week, but still has to improve his running and is now dealing with an injured shoulder. Could be forced to sit out or see less touches, so may be best to just avoid him this week.
|
James Starks - - With Green banged up, maybe he will see a heavier load this week. The Rams have been up and down against the run, so he could have some upside, but it may be best to just avoid the Packers running game at this time.
|
|
Jordy Nelson - - Coming off a huge game against a tough pass defense and has another iffy mathcup this week. After last week, you have to put him back in or ride him again, especially when you consider he lit up the Rams last season.
|
Randall Cobb - - Coming off a big game as his role continues to increase and with Jennings likely out again, he has a good chance to see another solid role, even though the matchup is a tough one. But the Packers proved last week when they are on, they are tough to stop.
|
James Jones - - With Jennings still out, might as well keep riding him through his hot streak as he has three games in a row with two TD receptions.
|
|
Jermichael Finley - - Continues to battle an injured shoulder that could limit his chances to produce, so proceed with caution. Not the ideal option this week, though if his shoulder is fine, he certainly has the skills and is on the right offense to get the job done.
|
|
Mason Crosby - - Was busy last week, though it was only extra points. Hopefully for Crosby owners he can get a couple FG attempts this week. Though he has definitely not lived up to the potential thus far, but at least the Packers should put up points and allow him to produce some points.
|
|
Green Bay Packers - - The defense can really get after the QB and the Rams offensive line has not exactly been playing well, so they could definitely put up some nice sack numbers and maybe force a mistake or two.

Wes Welker - - Coming off a huge game and while the Jets pass defense has been pretty solid, even with Revis lost, Welker has been rolling and has had his share of success against the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets.
|
|
|
| |
Indianapolis Colts |
Andrew Luck - - Coming off a tough week, though he could bounce back this week against a pass defense that has really struggled this season. The return of Haden does appear to have helped, so Luck may need his non-Wayne receivers to step it up this week.
|
Matt Hasselbeck - - The veteran showed he is still capable of winning footballs games last week while putting up decent fantasy numbers. This week has had a much more favorable matchup although I expect the Titans to rely more on the running game this week to exploit the Bills horrid run defense, as was the case in last season's meeting.
|
|
Vick Ballard - - The rookie did not get many chances last week as the Colts fell behind early. This week the game should be closer as they return home and with the Browns run defense really struggling, it may be a good time to take a flier on him.
|
Donald Brown - - Out again this week after having knee surgery a couple weeks back, so bypass on him again this week.
|
Delone Carter - - The Browns can be run on, but how the RB situation will play out in Indy is anyone's guess. Carter is probably the worst of the options though, so I'd probably avoid using him if you can.
|
|
Reggie Wayne - - Luck continues to look his way early and often. The question is whether that will continue this week as Haden will look to take him away, so definitely has more risk than usual this week. But the wily veteran certainly has some tricks up his sleeve and Luck is not liable to forget about his go to guy.
|
T.Y. Hilton - - The rookie has shown a flash here and there, although he is still not producing enough on a consistent basis to consider him a viable option, unless you are really in a bind.
|
Darrius Heyward-Bey - - Expected to be ready to roll this week and could benefit from facing a Jaguars defense that has really been struggling. Will he have any lingering effects from the knockout hit?
|
LaVon Brazill - - The rookie is still not involved in the offense enough to merit taking a chance on him, no matter how good the matchup is.
|
|
Coby Fleener - - Like many rookies he has struggled with consistency. Definitely has some upside this week as the Browns have struggled covering the tight end this season, which could allow Fleener to put up one of his nice performances this week.
|
|
Adam Vinatieri - - The offense should be able to bounce back this week at home against a struggling defense, which should lead to a few scoring chances for the wily veteran.
|
|
Indianapolis Colts - - The defense has not done much turnover forcing though they have been solid at pressuring the QB and could take advantage of a rookie QB that has struggled taking care of the ball at times.

Prediction: Indianapolis Colts 23 - Denver Broncos | | Minnesota Vikings at New York Giants - Monday 8:40pm | | |
Minnesota Vikings |
Christian Ponder - - Coming off a good game in spite of the interceptions. This week he faces a defense that has been good against the pass, so expect a lot of handing it to ADP. On the plus side, it could definitely open up the play action and allow Ponder to toss a TD or two (Probably two since he has been two TD or none all year), so at least he has some upside.
|
|
Adrian Peterson - - The Cardinals defense has struggled against the run at times meaning ADP will likely be quite busy this week. It certainly helps that he ran for 122 yards and three touchdowns in last year's meeting.
|
Toby Gerhart - - Considering he touches the ball about as much as a husband touches his wife after 40 years, he doesn't really have any fantasy value except as a handcuff to ADP.
|
|
Greg Jennings - - Sounds like that groin is still a factor making him a long shot to play this week. Even if he can go, it may be in a limited role and possibly more as a decoy. Add in the iffy matchup and it is probably best to avoid him again this week.
|
Jerome Simpson - - Was scratched last week, much to the dismay of Simpson who lost a game check thanks to a clause in his contract. The huffing and puffing from last week will likely get him onto the active roster this week, though he still has not gotten it going as a Viking and has an iffy matchup this week to boot. Not a given to start, so best to avoid him.
|
|
Kyle Rudolph - - Has a tough matchup this week, but you won't find many tight ends that have found the end zone five times in six games. It certainly does not hurt that Ponder likes to look his way.
|
|
Blair Walsh - - The offense should be able to keep it going this week although a good Cardinals defense could make it tough for them to finish drives and result in another big day for the rookie kicker.
|
|
Minnesota Vikings - - The Vikings have been a good NFL defense although fantasy wise they have been hit-or-miss. This week they have some nice upside as they face a banged up and inconsistent offense that is turning to their backup QB, even though Skelton has starting experience.
|
|
New York Giants |
Eli Manning - - It is a fact that the Redskins shut down Manning last season, but this year the Giants offense has been rolling while the Redskins have the worst pass defense in all the NFL statistically. So you can bet Manning is drooling over this matchup while getting some payback for last season.
|
|
David Wilson - - The rookie could get a few chances with Brown still banged up though Bradshaw is still the main man so Wilson's role will be probably be too limited to consider him starter worthy.
|
Andre Brown - - Still trying to return from a concussion and even if he can play this week, it would likely be in a limited role so you probably want to continue to avoid him until he proves he is a worthy option again.
|
|
Hakeem Nicks - - Still struggling with injuries to his knee and foot, which will likely continue to make him a risky option, albeit one with good upside when he can play. He also has risk of being a late scratch or leaving games early, so hopefully he can get fully healthy at some point. A great matchup this week definitely gives him a ton of upside, if he is able to play.
|
Victor Cruz - - Another week, another good game and should be able to keep it rolling against one of, if not the, worst pass defense in the league. He has reached must start status anyway, but no way you can consider sitting him against the Redskins.
|
Rueben Randle - - The rookie needs to produce on a more consistent basis before he deserves consideration for your starting lineup.
|
Louis Murphy - - I'm close to catching as many passes as he has, so I'd definitely stay far away from him.
|
|
Brandon Myers - - He has put up solid numbers in arguably every week except one and with a good matchup this week, he could be in line to add another solid game to his resume this week.
|
|
|
New York Giants - - The defense has made some big plays, but also has struggled quite a bit and will likely have their hands full against a much improved Redskins offense led by their big play rookie QB.
