QB Joe Flacco - 2010 should be very kind to Joe Flacco but it won’t begin this week. He’s facing a ferocious Jets’ D which just got its best player back (CB Darrelle Revis) and a team hell bent on proving to the world it’s a legit Super Bowl Contender. Look for a low scoring affair and only 175 passing yards and a TD for the Baltimore QB.
RB Michael Turner – The return of S Troy Polamalu and DE Aaron Smith will have this defense playing like it’s 2008 again. This is bad news for Michael Turner owners. That Steelers D was the best at stopping the run. Expect Turner Burner to have a very mediocre afternoon and end with around 60 rushing yards with 0 TDs.
WR Anquan Boldin – Along with his teammate at the top, this is a night you want to avoid Baltimore’s top receiving threat. Rust or little rust, CB Darrelle Revis will shut Boldin down and force Flacco to look elsewhere when throwing down the field. Expect 50 receiving yards or fewer on MNF.
TE John Carlson - Two reasons. The Seahawks are thin along the offensive line and will probably need Carlson to stay in and block most of the time. Next, the 49ers possess one of the best LB corps in the league and are tough on opposing TEs.
D/ST Philadelphia Eagles – Ranked No. 2 on some fantasy football pre-draft ranking charts, Week 1 is not the weekend to start this unit. QB Aaron Rodgers and Co. are coming into Philadelphia and will be putting plenty of points on the board.
Others who will have below par games
QB Tom Brady, RB Justin Forsett, WR Hines Ward, TE Tony Gonzalez, D/ST Minnesota Vikings

Do you have any other options? Of the two, definitely Hightower. Arizona’s playing a porous Rams team and it’s highly likely that the Cards will pound the ball in the 3rd and 4th quarters while playing with a big lead. This should equate into 50-60 yards and a TD for Hightower.

thank you my options are limited and looking for another back but may have to wait a week or two to see what shapes up.
