1. Peyton Manning – The Texans feature the worst pass D in the league. Manning, coming off a bye week, will torch them on Monday Night. He’s the top ranked fantasy football QB in Week 8.
2. Ben Roethlisberger - Look for Roethlisberger to pass all over the depleted Saints secondary on Sunday Night. He’ll top 300 yards and 3 TDs.
3. Matt Schaub - The Texans will need to pass more in this contest than the last, and we like Schaub to top 275 yards and 3 TDs.
4. Drew Brees - The Steelers are tough on defense, especially against the run, but can be hurt through the air. Look for Brees to go after this area with a short, precise passing attack.
Next In Line
Tom Brady – The offense now spreads the ball around to all receiving threats and Brady will methodically pick apart the Vikings injury riddled secondary.
Phillip Rivers – One thing we know is he’ll be passing vs. the Titans, who give up big yardage in the passing game. Expect over 250 yards and a few TDs.
Aaron Rodgers – Rodgers will need to pass the ball 40 times on Sunday in order to have a chance at winning. He’ll amass a lot of yards and a few TDs in the process.
Rounding Out the List
Kyle Orton – The 49ers have been vulnerable against the pass all year. Look for Orton to rebound after a poor outing and put up solid numbers in San Francisco.
Matt Cassel - The Chiefs passing game is picking up steam and Cassel will throw at least 2 TDs in this one.
Mark Sanchez - He’s coming off the bye week and has had another week to work with his entire cast of receivers, Santonio Holmes included. He’ll top 225 yards with a few TDs this week.
Carson Palmer – His team may not be winning, but Palmer is putting up excellent fantasy football numbers. The Dolphins secondary is also vulnerable to the deep ball.
Chad Henne -Matt Ryan just torched the Bengals secondary. Look for Henne to hook up with Brandon Marshall and Davone Bess all afternoon.
Donovan McNabb - The Lions pass D is an invitation to a big passing game. McNabb will toss for over 250 yards and 2 TDs.
Fantasy Sleeper of the Week
Ryan Fitzpatrick – He put up monster numbers vs. the Ravens last week and now gets the Chiefs, who while good, are susceptible to the pass. Fitzpatrick is a solid fantasy sleeper and will throw multiple TDs this week.
