Quarterbacks
- Rivers is a high-end QB1 against an Oakland defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to the position this year.
- Manning threw for 289 yards and two touchdowns against the Chargers, which is hilariously a down week for him. You know what to do here.
- Newton threw for just 160 yards and a touchdown against the Saints two weeks ago. He's a low-end QB1 this week.

Running Backs
- Charles had a fantasy day for the ages last week, racking up 215 total yards and five touchdowns. He has as strong a case as Peyton Manning for the MVP award.
- Murray could be a championship game star going up against a Washington defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to running backs this year.
- Gore should be in for a huge day against an Atlanta defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to running backs this year.

Wide Receivers
- Gordon had a down game against the Bears, meaning he had just 67 yards and one touchdown. The Jets have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to receivers this year.
- Hopefully Johnson's huge season is not lost amid Houston's dreadful season. He has 99 catches for 1,295 yards and five touchdowns. Keep starting him.
- Allen caught just two passes against the Broncos, but both went for six points. He's a high-end WR2 this week.

Tight Ends
- Graham had just 25 yards last week, the third-lowest total of his career. The bet here is that he makes up for it this week.
- The Falcons have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends this year. Davis should post a top-five day at the position.
- Clay got just two targets last week, catching one for six yards. Write it off as an anomaly and get him back in your lineup.

Kickers
- Hauschka knocked through all three of his field-goal attempts last week and is now 30-for-31 on the year.
- Henery made all three of his field-goal attempts last week and is 21-for-26 on the season.
- Akers made his only field-goal attempt last week and is 16-for-21 on the year.
