Guys I like and those I don't

I didn't have time for a full projections, so here are some guys I like to do well this weekend, and a few who I think are gonna suck (or fall short of expectations).

Those who should do well.

Quarterbacks:
- Tom Brady should eat the Titans suddenly suspect defense for breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Matt Hasselbeck should get into a shoot out with Kurt Warner and the Cards
- Speaking of Warner, the other side of the track meet should do fine as well
- There is nothing about the Cleveland defense that will slow down Ben Rothlisberger
- Aaron Rodgers should take apart the Lions, the only worry is the that O-line in Green Bay

Running Backs:
- Maurice Jones-Drew should find the going well against the Lambs
- I don't know what to think about Matt Forte anymore this year, but I will give him one more chance to shine
- Just like Forte above, Ryan Grant gets one more shot to prove he can perform, who better than against the Lions?
- Rashard Mendenhall, as long as he gets the bulk of the carries, should do great against the week Browns

Wide Receivers:
- Larry Fitzgerald should have a field day in a track meet with Seattle
- TJ House will be the other benefactor of the shoot out with Arizona
- Greg Jennings as mostly been a large disappointment, not even getting a reasonable amount of targets, but should fine success against Detroit
- Randy Moss / Wes Welker both should have strong games against Tennessee- Brandon Marshall will continue his comeback against San Diego

Tight Ends:
- John Carlson will reappear as a fatnasy tight end now that Hasselbeck is back
- Brent Celek should find some room against Oakland, if McNabb pays attention
- Dare I pick Jeremy Shockey against New York in a revenge job? Yes.

Those who are gonna suck.

Quarterbacks:
- I don't buy that Phillip Rivers is gonna go off on the Broncos like some of predicted (remember Brady last weekend?)
- Don't set your expectations too high for Drew Brees, the Giants D is for real again this year
- Jason Campbell is again on my shit list, even against the Chiefs.
- Joe Flacco might find some success against Minnesota, but less than you might think.

Runningbacks:
- Ray Rice won't find any more room vs the Viking defense than any back has this year.
- Adrian Petersen is a must start, but as in recent weeks, I wouldn't expect 150 and 3 TDs, temper your expectations
- Steve Slaton will find little room against the Bengals strangely good defense
- LaDainian Tomlinson is another sit this week against Denver, but when will he be a sure thing?

Wide Receivers:
- Steve Smith will falter against New Orleans, surprising his owners almost as much as his season so far
- DeSean Jackson will struggle against Asomugha (but keep your eye on Maclin)
- While Vincent Jackson has posted a strong season to date, Denver's pass rush will limit him
- Even though I am predicting the AZ / SEA shoot out, Nate Burleson won't participate
- Percy Harvin will struggle to find room against the Ravens

Tight Ends:
- JerMichael Finley had his coming out party when last we saw him, look for more of the same against Detroit
- The Bengals will shut down Houston, including Owen Daniels
- Antonio Gates should start for you, but be reasonable in what you expect.
