Quarterbacks

    1. 1
    2. CamNewtonPanthers vs BuccaneersQB
    3. PASS YDS266
    4. PASS TD2
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS39
    7. RUSH TD1
    The Dolphins held Newton in check through the air, but his eight carries for 51 yards and a touchdown gave him a nice fantasy day. He's a strong play against a Buccaneers defense that allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
    1. 2
    2. PeytonManningBroncos at ChiefsQB
    3. PASS YDS349
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    Manning threw for just 150 yards and two scores against the Patriots last week. The master of adjustments should be ready for his second go-round with the Chiefs.
    1. 3
    2. AndyDaltonBengals at ChargersQB
    3. PASS YDS337
    4. PASS TD3
    5. INT0
    6. RUSH YDS0
    7. RUSH TD0
    I've got Dalton penciled in for a huge game against a San Diego defense that allows the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

Running Backs

    1. 1
    2. AdrianPetersonVikings vs BearsRB
    3. RUSH YDS159
    4. RUSH TD3
    5. REC YDS22
    6. REC TD0
    The Bears allowed 258 rushing yards to the Rams last week. Peterson could legitimately reach that total by himself on Sunday.
    1. 2
    2. JamaalCharlesChiefs vs BroncosRB
    3. RUSH YDS112
    4. RUSH TD2
    5. REC YDS47
    6. REC TD0
    Charles carved up the Chargers as expected and is one of the top options at the position, as always, this week. It'll be interesting to see if the Chiefs have any new offensive wrinkles in thier second matchup in three weeks against the Broncos.
    1. 3
    2. FrankGore49ers vs RamsRB
    3. RUSH YDS130
    4. RUSH TD2
    5. REC YDS19
    6. REC TD0
    Gore should be in for a huge day against a St. Louis defense that allows the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs.

Wide Receivers

    1. 1
    2. CalvinJohnsonLions vs PackersWR
    3. REC YDS124
    4. REC TD2
    Johnson had seven receptions for 115 yards last week. He's in line for a big day, even though the Green Bay secondary is back to full strength.
    1. 2
    2. JoshGordonBrowns vs JaguarsWR
    3. REC YDS135
    4. REC TD1
    Gordon burned the Steelers for 237 yards and a score last week. He did plenty of damage after Brandon Weeden took over for an injured Jason Campbell, so there's no reason to downgrade him for the quarterback change.
    1. 3
    2. DezBryantCowboys vs RaidersWR
    3. REC YDS131
    4. REC TD1
    Bryant should feast on a Raiders defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to receivers.

Tight Ends

    1. 1
    2. JimmyGrahamSaints at SeahawksTE
    3. REC YDS105
    4. REC TD2
    Graham had five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown last week. Get him going in Week 13.
    1. 2
    2. RobGronkowskiPatriots at TexansTE
    3. REC YDS107
    4. REC TD1
    Gronk is the one Patriot with a clear-cut starring role in the offense, other than Tom Brady, of course.
    1. 3
    2. VernonDavis49ers vs RamsTE
    3. REC YDS90
    4. REC TD1
    The Rams have done well against opposing tight ends this year, but that didn't stop Martellus Bennet from having a big game last week. Start Davis with confidence.

Kickers

    1. 1
    2. AlexHeneryEagles vs CardinalsK
    3. PAT2
    4. FG4
    Henery is worth a shot in this matchup and could be considered a reliable fantasy kicker for the rest of the season.
    1. 2
    2. MattBryantFalcons at BillsK
    3. PAT1
    4. FG4
    The Bills can be stout at times on defense, and that could help make Bryant a worthwhile play this week.
    1. 3
    2. StephenGostkowskiPatriots at TexansK
    3. PAT4
    4. FG3
    Gostkowski remains as efficient as ever and is tied to an ever-improving offense. Start him with confidence.

    2. Dolphinsat JetsDolphins at JetsDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED6
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT3
    6. TD0
    The Dolphins didn't play poorly against the Panthers, though their struggles against the run came back to bite them. They are a great play against a terrible Jets offense, however.
    1. 2
    2. Ravensvs SteelersRavens vs SteelersDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED20
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT2
    6. TD0
    Threes were wild for the Ravens last week, as they forced three turnovers, sacked Geno Smith three times and held the Jets to three points. They should be started this week.
    1. 3
    2. Brownsvs JaguarsBrowns vs JaguarsDEFENSE
    3. PTS ALLOWED13
    4. SACKS4
    5. INT2
    6. TD0
    The Browns were a total no-show against Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers a week ago. The Jaguars present a nice opportunity to bounce back.
