Quarterbacks

• 1. 1

  3. Michael

     Vick

     Eagles vs Chargers

     QB

  4. PASS YDS297

  5. PASS TD2

  6. INT1

  7. RUSH YDS43

  8. RUSH TD1

  Well Vick certainly looked like a nice fit in Chip Kelly's offense, huh? If he stays healthy, the sky's the limit.
• 1. 2

  3. Aaron

     Rodgers

     Packers vs Redskins

     QB

  4. PASS YDS343

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS11

  8. RUSH TD0

  It really doesn't matter how good the defense is, Rodgers more often than not does his thing. That will be the case again on Sunday.
• 1. 3

  3. Drew

     Brees

     Saints at Buccaneers

     QB

  4. PASS YDS330

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. RUSH TD0

  No one throws for 10-plus YPA with the ease that Brees does. He picked up 357 yards on 35 attempts with touchdowns to Marques Colston and Jimmy Graham last week. He'll light up the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Running Backs

• 1. 1

  3. Maurice

     Jones-Drew

     Jaguars at Raiders

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS101

  5. RUSH TD1

  6. REC YDS32

  7. REC TD1

  We've seen this script before. Jacksonville has terrible offense. MJD doesn't show up in a game or two early. MJD figures it out and has a great year. Don't worry about him.
• 1. 2

  3. Arian

     Foster

     Texans vs Titans

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS84

  5. RUSH TD1

  6. REC YDS48

  7. REC TD1

  Ben Tate was a more efficient runner last week, but Foster still had 24 touches, including six catches on eight targets. He'll be the bellcow as long as he's healthy, but coach Gary Kubiak has said he wants a more equal distribution this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Doug

     Martin

     Buccaneers vs Saints

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS121

  5. RUSH TD1

  6. REC YDS47

  7. REC TD0

  The Jets shut down Martin, allowing just 65 yards on 24 carries. I fully expect him to bounce back this week against a softer New Orleans defense that surrendered 77 yards to Steven Jackson on 11 carries, though most of that was on one run.

Wide Receivers

• 1. 1

  3. Larry

     Fitzgerald

     Cardinals vs Lions

     WR

  4. REC YDS103

  5. REC TD2

  So that's what life is like with a real quarterback, huh. Fitz had eight catches for 80 yards and two touchdowns. He's back.
• 1. 2

  3. Calvin

     Johnson

     Lions at Cardinals

     WR

  4. REC YDS130

  5. REC TD1

  It's not often that the Lions score 34 points and Johnson has just four catches for 30 yards. Something tells me he'll make up for that this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Andre

     Johnson

     Texans vs Titans

     WR

  4. REC YDS119

  5. REC TD1

  Johnson was a monster on Monday, with 12 receptions for 146 yards. He had 16 targets, something his owners can get used to for the rest of the season.

Tight Ends

• 1. 1

  3. Jimmy

     Graham

     Saints at Buccaneers

     TE

  4. REC YDS104

  5. REC TD2

  Graham caught just four passes for 45 yards, but he saved his day with a touchdown. It'll be a more Graham-like performance this week.
• 1. 2

  3. Jared

     Cook

     Rams at Falcons

     TE

  4. REC YDS107

  5. REC TD1

  All of Cook's tools were on display against the Cardinals. He's a top-five tight end in the making.
• 1. 3

  3. Greg

     Olsen

     Panthers at Bills

     TE

  4. REC YDS78

  5. REC TD1

  Olsen led the Panthers with 10 targets and caught five passes for 56 yards. He'll find the end zone for the first time this season on Sunday.

Kickers

• 1. 1

  3. Mason

     Crosby

     Packers vs Redskins

     K

  4. PAT4

  5. FG3

  With the Packers running up the score to nearly 40, it'll be a great day to own Crosby.
• 1. 2

  3. Justin

     Tucker

     Ravens vs Browns

     K

  4. PAT1

  5. FG4

  A strong Cleveland defense will mean good news for Tucker owners. Look for him to convert all four of his field goal attempts.
• 1. 3

  3. Matt

     Bryant

     Falcons vs Rams

     K

  4. PAT3

  5. FG3

  I expect the Falcons offense to get back on track this week, and that'll mean a big day for Bryant.

Defenses

     vs Vikings

     Bears vs Vikings

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED13

  5. SACKS2

  6. INT2

  7. TD1

  The takeaway machine in Chicago kept right on churning, with the Bears registering three takeaways against the Bengals. The song will remain the same this week.

     vs Redskins

     Packers vs Redskins

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED20

  5. SACKS1

  6. INT2

  7. TD1

  Colin Kaepernick had his way with the Packers again last week, but they'll be able to bounce back against a Washington team trying to find itself.
• 1. 3

  3. Texans

     vs Titans

     Texans vs Titans

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED13

  5. SACKS4

  6. INT3

  7. TD0

  Houston saved the day for its fantasy owners with the Brian Cushing pick-six in the second half. The Texans won't allow 28 points every week, especially not on Sunday.
