Put these guys in the game if you have 'em:
Quarterbacks
- Peyton Manning will carve up the Seahawks like Thanksgiving turkey. All systems are go for the Colts as Seattle comes to town.
- I might give Jay Culter the nod against Detroit. The Lions defense is nothing to write home about and it seems as though he is starting to find his rythm with his receiving corp, not just with the opposing team.
- Matt Schaub should have a strong game against the Raiders, but don't look for Andre Johnson to be the primary recipiant, see Kevin Walter below.
Runningbacks
- This is starting to sound like a broken record and fantasy owners are still waiting for Forte to break out and post a strong game. It could come this week against the Lions.
- Adrian Peterson should start in all leagues, all the time, no questions, but expect a really good game from him this week. He will shred the Packers.
- I have seen Cedric Benson listed as low as #19 on some start lists. Crazy. He is running strong and with a purpose. Bet the Chicago fans are wondering where in the hell this version of Benson was in the Windy City! Cleveland really stinks and doesn't really have a prayer of stopping him. He is a MUST start this week.
- Frank Gore would have been a must start against the Rams and I am putting Glen Coffee, his replacement, on my start list. Start him and have a good day Sunday.
- Brandon Jacobs will post a strong game against the Chefs, plus he is motivated from his "do better or I will retire" comment early this week.
- I would definately start Chris Johnson in Jacksonville, no questions.
Wide Receivers:
- Kevin Walter will benefit from The Asomugha effect. Johnson will be bottled up, and Schaub will be looking for Walter instead.
- Santana Moss will use his speed and shred the horrible Bucs secondary like almost everyone else has this year so far.
- I like Devin Hester to find the end zone and have a few grabs against Detriot.
- I like Jennings in Minnesota. Call it a hunch. Driver will struggle and Rodgers will remember his Pro Bowl wide out on the other side, especially on quick slants and short outs.
- I like Pierre Garcon. Peyton seems to like him too. He might even catch 2 TDs this week.
- I am not a Ocho Cinco fan, not with all his antics and crap, but he will tear it up against the Browns. Hell, my grandmother tossing it to her sister could find their way into the Dog Pound the way things are in Cleveland.
Tight Ends
- Dallas Clark is on my must start list until further notice!
- I would put Chris Cooley in my line up this week. The Bucs cannot stop anyone passing... or running for that matter.
As for these guys, get 'em some pine time!
Quarterbacks:
Disclaimer - I would definately start some of these guys, but temper my expectations
- Joe Flacco will struggle in New England, so don't expect the same strong numbers, look for 200+ and a TD perhaps
- Tom Brady will also have problems in the same match up as Flacco. The Ravens defense is still strong and while I would expect a couple TDs and 220+, I don't know that he will do much more.
- I really like what I am seeing from the Jets D and they will harrass and frustrate the Saints, bottling up both the running game and the passing game. This will be a tough game for Drew Brees and the entire Saints team.
- Aaron Rodgers could even be benched this week if you have another option with a good match up, if not, stick with him but he will be limited.
Runningbacks:
- The 49'er Defense bottled up AP a bit last week and would have beat the Vikings if not for the heroics of Brett Favre. I don't think Steven Jackson will do any better.
- The Green Bay offensive line looks aweful so far this year, with Aaron Rodgers already getting happy feet and opening very few legitimate holes for Ryan Grant. I don't think the Williamses' will give him much room. If you have better matchups out there, sit Grant.
- Marshawn Lynch should not start on your team. His is back from his suspension, but Fred Jackson has played so well, the Bills can't keep him on the bench. Rust and a RBBC will not give Lynch a great opportunity this week. Besides the Dolphins have been stout against the run.
- Fred Taylor is like Curtis Martin later in his career, simple a solid, good back. But the Ravens will shut him down like they do most people, and with the Patriots tendancy towards the pass, look elsewhere for your back this weekend.
- Pierre Thomas will struggle along with the rest of the Saints, even if I owned him, I don't think I would start him.
Wide Receivers:
- Andre Johnson should start in EVERY league, but as mentioned before, the Asomugha effect will slow him.
- Marques Colston will have the Revis effect, the east coast version, but more potent. Revis is my Defensive MVP so far this year.- If you are thinking of starting TO, get your head examined.
- Donald Driver should take a seat this week, unless you really need him in a flex spot or something.
- Bobby Wade will have some good days in KC, not this weekend against the Giants.
Tight Ends:
- John Carlson takes a seat, with Hasslebeck still side lined
- The Jets are shutting down just about everything and will shut down Jeremy Shockey too.
Injury Round-up: Just the significant ones
- Matt Hasslebeck is said to be out this week again.
- Marc Bulger is out with Kyle Boller starting in his spot.
- LaDainian Tomlinson is back this week, but expect him to share duties with Darren Sproles. The Chargers will be careful with him.
- Frank Gore is out as I mentioned above, could be for a few weeks
- Felix Jones is out for Dallas, and Marion Barber is a game time decision, keep an eye out Sunday morning
- Wes Welker is questionable, but as always with all of the Hoodie's injuries, keep your eye open Sunday.
