Quarterbacks

• 1. 1

  3. Cam

     Newton

     Panthers vs Buccaneers

     QB

  4. PASS YDS266

  5. PASS TD2

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS39

  8. 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

  3. Peyton

     Manning

     Broncos at Chiefs

     QB

  4. PASS YDS349

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. 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

  3. Andy

     Dalton

     Bengals at Chargers

     QB

  4. PASS YDS337

  5. PASS TD3

  6. INT0

  7. RUSH YDS0

  8. 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

  3. Adrian

     Peterson

     Vikings vs Bears

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS159

  5. RUSH TD3

  6. REC YDS22

  7. 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

  3. Jamaal

     Charles

     Chiefs vs Broncos

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS112

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS47

  7. 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

  3. Frank

     Gore

     49ers vs Rams

     RB

  4. RUSH YDS130

  5. RUSH TD2

  6. REC YDS19

  7. 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

  3. Calvin

     Johnson

     Lions vs Packers

     WR

  4. REC YDS124

  5. 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

  3. Josh

     Gordon

     Browns vs Jaguars

     WR

  4. REC YDS135

  5. 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

  3. Dez

     Bryant

     Cowboys vs Raiders

     WR

  4. REC YDS131

  5. REC TD1

  Bryant should feast on a Raiders defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to receivers.

Tight Ends

• 1. 1

  3. Jimmy

     Graham

     Saints at Seahawks

     TE

  4. REC YDS105

  5. REC TD2

  Graham had five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown last week. Get him going in Week 13.
• 1. 2

  3. Rob

     Gronkowski

     Patriots at Texans

     TE

  4. REC YDS107

  5. REC TD1

  Gronk is the one Patriot with a clear-cut starring role in the offense, other than Tom Brady, of course.
• 1. 3

  3. Vernon

     Davis

     49ers vs Rams

     TE

  4. REC YDS90

  5. 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

  3. Alex

     Henery

     Eagles vs Cardinals

     K

  4. PAT2

  5. 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

  3. Matt

     Bryant

     Falcons at Bills

     K

  4. PAT1

  5. FG4

  The Bills can be stout at times on defense, and that could help make Bryant a worthwhile play this week.
• 1. 3

  3. Stephen

     Gostkowski

     Patriots at Texans

     K

  4. PAT4

  5. FG3

  Gostkowski remains as efficient as ever and is tied to an ever-improving offense. Start him with confidence.

     Dolphins at Jets

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED6

  5. SACKS4

  6. INT3

  7. 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

  3. Ravens

     vs Steelers

     Ravens vs Steelers

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED20

  5. SACKS4

  6. INT2

  7. 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

  3. Browns

     vs Jaguars

     Browns vs Jaguars

     DEFENSE

  4. PTS ALLOWED13

  5. SACKS4

  6. INT2

  7. 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.
