Quarterbacks

• 1. 1

  3. Peyton

     Manning

     Broncos at Colts

     QB

  4. PASS YDS384

  5. PASS TD4

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. RUSH TD0

  If anyone could treat a game against the team for which he played for 13 years as just another game, it's Manning. Something tells me he might have a little something extra, though.
• 1. 2

  3. Tony

     Romo

     Cowboys at Eagles

     QB

  4. PASS YDS342

  5. PASS TD4

  6. INT1

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. RUSH TD0

  Going up against the hapless Redskins, Romo severely disappointed his fantasy owners last week. He'll make up for it against the Eagles.
• 1. 3

  3. Jay

     Cutler

     Bears at Redskins

     QB

  4. PASS YDS339

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT1

  7. RUSH YDS15

  8. RUSH TD0

  Cutler missed some throws against the Giants, but his owners are happy. This matchup is too good to pass up, too.

Running Backs

• 1. 1

  3. Jamaal

     Charles

     Chiefs vs Texans

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS106

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS57

  7. REC TD0

  I'm running out of things to say about Charles, and it's just Week 7. Houston is allowing 4.2 yards per carry this year, making Charles a solid bet to top 100 yards.
• 1. 2

  3. Adrian

     Peterson

     Vikings at Giants

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS136

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS25

  7. REC TD0

  The Giants allow 19.1 fantasy points per game to running backs. Peterson will increase that average on Monday night.
• 1. 3

  3. LeSean

     McCoy

     Eagles vs Cowboys

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS115

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS45

  7. REC TD0

  McCoy totaled 171 yards from scrimmage last week, while the Cowboys allowed the Redskins to run for more than 200 yards. He should have a huge day.

Wide Receivers

• 1. 1

  3. Dez

     Bryant

     Cowboys at Eagles

     WR

  4. REC YDS124

  5. REC TD2

  Bryant should make up for last week's game against a Philadelphia defense that is the league's worst against wide receivers in fantasy terms.
• 1. 2

  3. DeSean

     Jackson

     Eagles vs Cowboys

     WR

  4. REC YDS103

  5. REC TD2

  Jackson didn't skip a beat with Nick Foles at the helm, catching six passes for 64 yards and two TDs. Dallas allows 24.8 fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
• 1. 3

  3. Justin

     Blackmon

     Jaguars vs Chargers

     WR

  4. REC YDS138

  5. REC TD1

  In two games this year, Blackmon has 19 catches for 326 yards and a TD. He racked up an insane 20 targets last week. He's a true WR1.

Tight Ends

• 1. 1

  3. Tony

     Gonzalez

     Falcons vs Buccaneers

     TE

  4. REC YDS87

  5. REC TD2

  Gonzalez stands to benefit from Julio Jones injury in the form of more targets. I'm sliding him up my rest-of-season rankings a few notches.
• 1. 2

  3. Jason

     Witten

     Cowboys at Eagles

     TE

  4. REC YDS98

  5. REC TD1

  Witten caught three passes for 27 yards in a lackluster performance for the entire passing game. Philadelphia has been tough on tight ends this year, but you're starting Witten no matter what.
• 1. 3

  3. Vernon

     Davis

     49ers at Titans

     TE

  4. REC YDS87

  5. REC TD1

  Davis was a beast last week, catching eight passes for 180 yards and two TDs. He could see a lot of corner Alterraun Verner, who Pro Football Focus grades as the best corner in the league thus far.

Kickers

• 1. 1

  3. Caleb

     Sturgis

     Dolphins vs Bills

     K

  4. PAT2

  5. FG4

  Sturgis is 10-for-11 on field goals this year, including three from 50-plus. He should be started every week from here on out.
• 1. 2

  3. Justin

     Tucker

     Ravens at Steelers

     K

  4. PAT1

  5. FG4

  Tucker made his only field goal last week, a chippy from 23 yards. He's 12-for-14 this season.
• 1. 3

  3. Steven

     Hauschka

     Seahawks at Cardinals

     K

  4. PAT2

  5. FG3

  After two weeks of double-digit scoring, Hauschka made just two field goals last week, both after he passed concussion tests.

Defenses

  3. Chiefs

     vs Texans

     Chiefs vs Texans

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED10

  5. SACKS5

  6. INT3

  7. TD0

  The Chiefs absolutely dominated the Raiders, posting 10 sacks, three interceptions and a touchdown. They could make T.J. Yates' life rough.
• 1. 2

  3. 49ers

     at Titans

     49ers at Titans

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED3

  5. SACKS5

  6. INT3

  7. TD0

  Remember a few weeks ago when people thought this defense maybe wasn't what it was the last two years? I think we can put that notion to bed. Start the Niners with extreme confidence this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Dolphins

     vs Bills

     Dolphins vs Bills

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED6

  5. SACKS5

  6. INT2

  7. TD0

  I love this matchup for Miami coming off a bye. If they're available in your league, get them now.
