Must Starts
1. Kurt Warner vs. St. Louis Rams
Warner had another solid outing on Sunday with 340 yards and two TDs. This coming on the heels of a five TD performance in Chicago. Look for another top fantasy football effort when he goes back into his old stomping grounds.
2. Aaron Rodgers vs. San Francisco 49ers
Rodgers still leads all QBs in fantasy scoring after his 189 yard, two TD performance vs. the Cowboys (one rushing, one passing). This week things should get easier; the Niners secondary is vulnerable and we fully expect Rodgers to attack them deep.
3. Drew Brees vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Drew Brees had an off-day vs. the Rams yet still managed 223 yards and two TDs. He did throw a few picks however. Expect him to get back on track against a weak Bucs secondary and to eclipse 300 yards with a few TDs.
4. Peyton Manning vs. Baltimore Ravens
The Ravens can be hurt through the air. The Colts have only one way of hurting teams: through the air. Look for Manning to continue his impressive passing and locate Wayne, Clark and Co. for another 250 yard game and two scores.
Sleepers
1. Josh Freeman vs. New Orleans Saints
Freeman’s been extremely impressive in his first two professional starts and put his team in a position to win late in the game vs. Miami. The Saints defense is beat up right now, especially in the secondary, and we think Freeman’s an excellent fantasy sleeper play here.
2. David Garrard vs. Buffalo Bills
The Bills defense is hurting all over and this week they face a tough test in the Jags. Look for Garrard to target WR Sims-Walker, TE Lewis and MJD out of the backfield for a solid fantasy passing day.
Others We Like
Brett Favre vs. Seattle Seahawks
Favre’s throwing like he is ten years younger than he is. He put up 344 yards and a TD vs. the Lions. Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin provide a couple of dangerous threats and we like another 300 yard game vs. Seattle.
Phillip Rivers vs. Denver Broncos
The Broncos will stop the Chargers running game and hope that Champ Bailey and Co. will be able to slow San Diego’s impressive passing attack. They won’t. Rivers will continue his hot passing and throw at least two TDs in the mile high air.
Tom Brady vs. New York Jets
The Jets defense stifled Brady in their earlier season affair but many things have changed since then. Brady’s passing like it’s 2007 all over again and the Jets, minus DT Kris Jenkins, haven’t been anything close to the defense they were to start the season. Brady will have a big game here.
A Few More
Ben Roethlisberger vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Matt Schaub vs. Tennessee Titans
Joe Flacco vs. Indianapolis Colts
