Quarterbacks

• 1. 1
  3. MichaelVickEagles vs ChargersQB
  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. AaronRodgersPackers vs RedskinsQB
  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. DrewBreesSaints at BuccaneersQB
  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. MauriceJones-DrewJaguars at RaidersRB
  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. ArianFosterTexans vs TitansRB
  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. DougMartinBuccaneers vs SaintsRB
  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. LarryFitzgeraldCardinals vs LionsWR
  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. CalvinJohnsonLions at CardinalsWR
  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. AndreJohnsonTexans vs TitansWR
  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. JimmyGrahamSaints at BuccaneersTE
  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. JaredCookRams at FalconsTE
  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. GregOlsenPanthers at BillsTE
  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. MasonCrosbyPackers vs RedskinsK
  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. JustinTuckerRavens vs BrownsK
  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. MattBryantFalcons vs RamsK
  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

• 1. 1
  3. Bearsvs VikingsBears vs VikingsDEFENSE
  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.
• 1. 2
  3. Packersvs RedskinsPackers vs RedskinsDEFENSE
  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. Texansvs TitansTexans vs TitansDEFENSE
  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.
