Must Start
1. Aaron Rodgers vs. ATL – Rodgers is coming off a 60 point fantasy football day. Atlanta still hasn’t addressed its pass D and will be torched on Sunday.
2. Phillip Rivers vs. Den – The Broncos were on the other end of Rogers’ 60 point day.
3. Drew Brees vs. Car – The Panthers D won’t have answers for Brees and Co.
4. Tom Brady vs. NYJ – Expect your typical 300 yard and 3 TD day from Brady when the Jets come to town.
Next
Michael Vick vs. Buf –The Eagles are losing but Vick’s still putting up big numbers.
Matthew Stafford vs. Chi – The Bears pass D is susceptible to the deep ball (see Steve Smith from a week ago).
Eli Manning vs. Sea – 6 TDs and 0 INTs over the past two weeks. Manning will pick apart the Seahawks.
The Rest
Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Phi – Philadelphia’s high priced defense has been a bust in ’11.
Cam Newton vs. NO – Is he a rookie? Newton is putting up big time numbers and will continue that trend vs. the Saints.
Josh Freeman vs. SF – The 49ers secondary is full of holes.
Matt Schaub vs. Oak – If Andre Johnson can’t play, it hurts Schaub. But the Raiders weakness in their DBs and Schaub should still find plenty of success for that reason alone.
Matt Ryan vs. GB – The Falcons could be in pass mode much of the evening. That’d be bad for the Falcons, but good for Ryan’s fantasy numbers.
Kyle Orton vs. SD – The Broncos will likely be playing catch up which bodes well for Orton.
Kevin Kolb vs. Min – If your No. 1 is on a bye week, Kolb’s not the worst option. The Vikings secondary is prone to the big play.
Fantasy Sleeper
Donovan McNabb vs. ARZ – If McNabb doesn’t get it done in this one, he could be long gone. But the Cardinals secondary is atrocious, so look for McNabb to be a decent fantasy sleeper option if your starting QB is out in Week 5.
