Quarterbacks

• 1. 1

  3. Peyton

     Manning

     Broncos at Chargers

     QB

  4. PASS YDS392

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. 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

  3. Drew

     Brees

     Saints vs Cowboys

     QB

  4. PASS YDS341

  5. PASS TD4

  6. INT1

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. RUSH TD0

  The Cowboys allow the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, so it could be quite the day for Brees.
• 1. 3

  3. Andy

     Dalton

     Bengals at Ravens

     QB

  4. PASS YDS324

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. 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.

  3. Adrian

     Peterson

     Vikings vs Redskins

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS124

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS27

  7. 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

  3. Chris

     Johnson

     Titans vs Jaguars

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS113

  5. RUSH TD1

  6. REC YDS33

  7. 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

  3. Reggie

     Bush

     Lions at Bears

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS86

  5. RUSH TD1

  6. REC YDS52

  7. REC TD1

  Bush torched the Bears the last time these teams met. Expect more of the same on Sunday.

Wide Receivers

• 1. 1

  3. Calvin

     Johnson

     Lions at Bears

     WR

  4. REC YDS122

  5. 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

  3. T.Y.

     Hilton

     Colts vs Rams

     WR

  4. REC YDS113

  5. 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

  3. DeSean

     Jackson

     Eagles at Packers

     WR

  4. REC YDS125

  5. REC TD1

  Jackson had five catches for 150 yards and a TD last week and should be started confidently against Green Bay.

  3. Jimmy

     Graham

     Saints vs Cowboys

     TE

  4. REC YDS123

  5. 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

  3. Jordan

     Reed

     Redskins at Vikings

     TE

  4. REC YDS93

  5. 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

  3. Jason

     Witten

     Cowboys at Saints

     TE

  4. REC YDS82

  5. 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.

  3. Matt

     Prater

     Broncos at Chargers

     Vinatieri

     Colts vs Rams

     K

  4. PAT3

  5. FG3

  Vinatieri made two of his three field-goal attempts last week and is now 17-for-20 on the year.

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED16

  5. SACKS4

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED17

  5. SACKS4
