  6. INT1

  7. RUSH YDS29

  Luck's numbers weren't all that impressive against the Niners last week, but he continued to make plays on the ground. He'll make it up to his owners this week.

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS102

  5. RUSH TD1

  Charles totaled 172 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown last week and looms as a huge threat for the Giants.

     Peterson

     Vikings vs Steelers

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS124

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS32

  7. REC TD0

  Peterson has turned in strong fantasy games every week, but he has been forced to grind out every single yard. He'll finally find consistent room in London this week.

     McCoy

     Eagles at Broncos

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS63

  5. RUSH TD1

Wide Receivers

• 1. 1

  3. Calvin

     Johnson

     Lions vs Bears

     WR

  4. REC YDS134

  5. REC TD2

  Johnson caught seven passes for 115 yards and a TD in Washington last week and has to be licking his chops after seeing what Antonio Brown did to the Bears last week.
• 1. 2

  3. Demaryius

     Thomas

     Broncos vs Eagles

     WR

  4. REC YDS114

  5. REC TD2

  Thomas had 10 catches for 94 yards against the Raiders. It'll be his turn to be the big star among the receivers this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Reggie

     Wayne

     Colts at Jaguars

     WR

  4. REC YDS103

  5. REC TD2

  Wayne will have his biggest day of the season to date, as the Colts should be able to handle the Jaguars with ease.

Tight Ends

• 1. 1

  3. Jimmy

     Graham

     Saints vs Dolphins

     TE

  4. REC YDS108

  5. REC TD1

  There is no stopping this guy. Period.
• 1. 2

  3. Jared

     Cook

     Rams vs 49ers

     TE

  4. REC YDS82

  5. REC TD1

  Cook had seven targets a week ago, and with the Niners down at least one star linebacker, he could exploit some holes in the defense.
• 1. 3

  3. Owen

     Daniels

     Texans vs Seahawks

     TE

  4. REC YDS78

  5. REC TD1

  Daniels got nine targets last week, and I think Matt Schaub will rely on him this week against a tough Seattle defense.

Kickers

• 1. 1

  3. Greg

     Zuerlein

     Rams vs 49ers

     K

  4. PAT1

  5. FG4

  Playing at home against a solid defense, Zuerlein could be in for a big night.
• 1. 2

  3. Dan

     Bailey

     Cowboys at Chargers

     K

  4. PAT3

  5. FG3

  Bailey had a quiet day, making a 19-yard field goal and missing his other attempt from 35 yards. He's still a guy I'd start confidently every week, though.
• 1. 3

  3. Steven

     Hauschka

     Seahawks at Texans

     K

  4. PAT2

  5. FG3

  Houston's defense did a great job limiting the Ravens to field goals last week, something Hauschka's owners are no doubt hoping for on Sunday.

  3. Chiefs

     vs Giants

     Chiefs vs Giants

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED14

  5. SACKS5

  6. INT2

  7. TD0

  The Chiefs turned in the most impressive defensive performance of the season to date in Week 3, shutting down the previously unstoppable Michael Vick. They look like a D you'll want to start regardless of matchup.
• 1. 2

  3. Cowboys

     at Chargers

     Cowboys at Chargers

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED17

  5. SACKS3

  6. INT3

  7. TD0

  Dallas has been one of the best defenses in the league this year, notching 13 sacks and seven takeaways through three games. I think it's in for another big game this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Bengals

     at Browns

     Bengals at Browns

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED10

  5. SACKS4

  6. INT2

  7. TD0

  Cincinnati surrendered 30 points to the Packers, but limited Aaron Rodgers to 5.7 YPA and made enough plays to have a big fantasy day. That will continue in Cleveland.
