Quarterbacks

    1. 1
    2. DrewBreesSaints at FalconsQB
    3. PASS YDS352
    4. PASS TD4
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    Brees had a bit of a down week by his standards against the Niners, but should get back on track against the struggling Falcons.
    1. 2
    2. MatthewStaffordLions vs BuccaneersQB
    3. PASS YDS357
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    Stafford had 346 yards, two touchdowns and an interception against the Steelers last week. He should thrive against the Bucs, who allow the eighth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
    1. 3
    2. PeytonManningBroncos at PatriotsQB
    3. PASS YDS349
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    It's a bit funny that it's considered a disappointment when Manning throws for 323 yards and one touchdown. He'll make up for it this week.

Running Backs

    1. 1
    2. JamaalCharlesChiefs vs ChargersRB
    3. RUSH YDS92
    4. RUSH TD2
    5. REC YDS56
    6. REC TD1
    After being a non-factor against the Broncos last week, Charles should have a monster game on Sunday.
    1. 2
    2. ReggieBushLions vs BuccaneersRB
    3. RUSH YDS86
    4. RUSH TD1
    5. REC YDS68
    6. REC TD1
    Bush struggled against the Steelers, running for just 31 yards on 12 carries and catching two of his five targets. You're starting him every week, but the Buccaneers have been decent against opposing running backs, allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position.
    1. 3
    2. MattForteBears at RamsRB
    3. RUSH YDS124
    4. RUSH TD2
    5. REC YDS27
    6. REC TD0
    Forte ran for 83 yards on 18 carries against the Lions and should have a big game against a St. Louis defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

Wide Receivers

    1. 1
    2. CalvinJohnsonLions vs BuccaneersWR
    3. REC YDS134
    4. REC TD2
    Johnson had a huge game last week, catching six passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns. Just another day in the life.
    1. 2
    2. DezBryantCowboys at GiantsWR
    3. REC YDS119
    4. REC TD2
    The Giants have been better than average against receivers for fantasy purposes, but you're starting Bryant with extreme confidence every week.
    1. 3
    2. VincentJacksonBuccaneers at LionsWR
    3. REC YDS112
    4. REC TD2
    Jackson had 10 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown last week. The Lions allow the second-most fantasy points per game to receivers, so anticipate a big game here.

Tight Ends

    1. 1
    2. RobGronkowskiPatriots vs BroncosTE
    3. REC YDS96
    4. REC TD2
    Gronk should have a very strong game against a Denver defense allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
    1. 2
    2. JimmyGrahamSaints at FalconsTE
    3. REC YDS114
    4. REC TD1
    Graham caught six passes for just 41 yards last week. Expect him to atone for that this week.
    1. 3
    2. JordanCameronBrowns vs SteelersTE
    3. REC YDS88
    4. REC TD1
    Cameron caught six passes for 29 yards last week. Start him as usual, despite the fact that his production has really slowed.

    Akers made both of his field-goal attempts last week, but is just 14-for-18 on the season.
    1. 2
    2. MattPraterBroncos at PatriotsK
    3. PAT4
    4. FG3
    Prater missed his first field-goal attempt of the season last week. He is 14-for-15 on the year.
    1. 3
    2. RobbieGouldBears at RamsK
    3. PAT3
    4. FG3
    Gould went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts last week and is now 19-for-20 on the season.

    3. PTS ALLOWED17
    4. SACKS6
    5. INT2
    6. TD0
    The Panthers must be started against a Miami team that has allowed the most sacks this season.

    All things considered, the Chiefs didn't play that poorly against the Broncos. Get this defense in your lineup against the Chargers.

    3. PTS ALLOWED13
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT2

    The Saints have 32 sacks and 16 takeaways on the year, and could be a decent stream against the reeling Falcons.
