Must Start
1. Peyton Manning – The 3-0 Chiefs are in for a rude awakening this week. The Colts coming off a bad loss means Manning and Co. will be mad. He’s the top ranked fantasy football QB in Week 5 and we expect him to top 350 yards and 3 TDs.
2. Tony Romo - The Titans pass D has been shredded in consecutive weeks and Romo found his rhythm prior to the bye. Look for 300+ yards and 3 TDs.
3. Aaron Rodgers – The Packers running game is non existent and that means more throwing from Rodgers. He’ll torch the Skins for over 300 yards and 3 TDs.
4. Joe Flacco - The Ravens have become a pass first team and the Ravens will be taking to the air vs. the Broncos.
Next In Line
Phillip Rivers - The Chargers passing game is hitting on all cylinders and Rivers and his receivers are dialed in. He’ll torch the Raiders in the Black Hole.
Drew Brees – They’re not putting points on the board but Brees is still putting up yards. Expect a few of those passes to find the end zone this week.
Matt Schaub - The Giants D is improved, but stopping Andre Johnson and Co. all afternoon is a tall order.
Rounding Out the List
Eli Manning - The Giants will be throwing on Sunday and Eli will have a big game vs. the worst pass defense in the NFL.
Matt Ryan - The Browns pass defense has been atrocious the past two weeks. Ryan and Co. will have a field day.
Matt Sanchez – The Vikings are strong against the run but vulnerable to the pass. Sanchez gets WR Santonio Holmes back this week and this raises his fantasy value even further.
Brett Favre - The arrival of Randy Moss instantly puts Favre back on the map. Look for big numbers from here on out beginning with the game vs. the Jets on Monday.
Kyle Orton - Look for Orton to throw 40 + times due to the team’s lack of a running game. He’ll top 250 yards with a few scores.
Donovan McNabb – The skins are coming off a big win in Philadelphia and McNabb will need to throw to beat the Packers on Sunday.
Carson Palmer – His Week 4 showing was excellent, and he’ll toss a few more TDs vs. the Bucs.
Fantasy Football Sleeper of the Week
Shaun Hill - Hill has become a viable fantasy fill-in and tossed for 331 yards and 2 TDs vs. the Packers. He’s a strong fantasy sleeper in Week 5 and will top 250 yards and 2 TDs when the Rams come to town.
