Quarterbacks

    1. 1
    2. PeytonManningBroncos at ChargersQB
    3. PASS YDS392
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    The bye seemed to come at a perfect time for Manning. Now he gets a defense allowing a league-worst 8.5 yards per attempt this season.
    1. 2
    2. DrewBreesSaints vs CowboysQB
    3. PASS YDS341
    4. PASS TD4
    5. INT1
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    The Cowboys allow the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, so it could be quite the day for Brees.
    1. 3
    2. AndyDaltonBengals at RavensQB
    3. PASS YDS324
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    Dalton's streak of huge games ended last week, though he did still manage 338 yards. The Ravens have buckled down since getting torched by Peyton Manning Week 1, but Dalton is still a low-end QB1.

Running Backs

    1. 1
    2. AdrianPetersonVikings vs RedskinsRB
    3. RUSH YDS124
    4. RUSH TD2
    5. REC YDS27
    6. REC TD0
    Peterson had his first AD game in weeks against Dallas, running for 140 yards a touchdown. He should feast on Washington.
    1. 2
    2. ChrisJohnsonTitans vs JaguarsRB
    3. RUSH YDS113
    4. RUSH TD1
    5. REC YDS33
    6. REC TD1
    Johnson finally had a big day, running for 150 yards and two scores against the Rams. He should be able to keep it going against a Jacksonville defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to running backs.
    1. 3
    2. ReggieBushLions at BearsRB
    3. RUSH YDS86
    4. RUSH TD1
    5. REC YDS52
    6. REC TD1
    Bush torched the Bears the last time these teams met. Expect more of the same on Sunday.

Wide Receivers

    1. 1
    2. CalvinJohnsonLions at BearsWR
    3. REC YDS122
    4. REC TD2
    The Bears have generally done as good a job as anyone at keeping Johnson in check, but he's in line for a big game Sunday.
    1. 2
    2. T.Y.HiltonColts vs RamsWR
    3. REC YDS113
    4. REC TD2
    Hilton was a monster in the Colts' first game without Reggie Wayne, catching seven passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns. He's a WR1 the rest of the way.
    1. 3
    2. DeSeanJacksonEagles at PackersWR
    3. REC YDS125
    4. REC TD1
    Jackson had five catches for 150 yards and a TD last week and should be started confidently against Green Bay.

Tight Ends

    1. 1
    2. JimmyGrahamSaints vs CowboysTE
    3. REC YDS123
    4. REC TD2
    Graham was back to his normal self last week, moving nicely and catching nine passes for 116 yards and two scores. You know what to do.
    1. 2
    2. JordanReedRedskins at VikingsTE
    3. REC YDS93
    4. REC TD1
    Reed had his first lackluster game since being inserted in the starting lineup, but don't hold that against him for too long. The Vikings allow the third-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
    1. 3
    2. JasonWittenCowboys at SaintsTE
    3. REC YDS82
    4. REC TD1
    Witten had eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown last week, but the Saints allow the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.

Kickers

    1. 1
    2. MattPraterBroncos at ChargersK
    3. PAT4
    4. FG3
    Prater has been one of the best fantasy kickers this season. That should continue throughout the year.
    1. 2
    2. AdamVinatieriColts vs RamsK
    3. PAT3
    4. FG3
    Vinatieri made two of his three field-goal attempts last week and is now 17-for-20 on the year.
    1. 3
    2. ShaunSuishamSteelers vs BillsK
    3. PAT2
    4. FG3
    Suisham made his only field-goal attempt against the Patriots and is now 16-for-18 on the season.

    2. Seahawksat FalconsSeahawks at FalconsDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED16
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT3
    6. TD0
    Matt Ryan has thrown seven picks in the last two weeks. He'd probably rather not see the Seahawks across the field while riding that wave.
    1. 2
    2. Titansvs JaguarsTitans vs JaguarsDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED13
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT2

    The Titans played well in a favorable matchup last week, forcing two turnovers and sacking Kellen Clemens twice. This week's matchup is even better.
    1. 3
    2. Texansat CardinalsTexans at CardinalsDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED17
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT2
    6. TD0
    The Texans should be able to get after Carson Palmer this week, though this is not the overall defense it was each of the previous two seasons.
