1. Dallas Clark vs. Seattle Seahawks
Can anyone else be listed as the top fantasy football TE after the way Clark has performed the past two weeks? He has over 240 receiving yards and two TDs. Clark now gets the Seahawks and this is a very favorable match-up for Peyton Manning. Look for another top effort with over 90 yards and at least one TD on Sunday.
2. Jason Witten vs. Denver Broncos
The Broncos stingy defense will be exposed vs. the Cowboys on Sunday. Dallas is much better offensively than either the Raiders and Browns and look for Romo to target – and locate – Witten over 80 yards and one TD.
3. John Carlson vs. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts will be playing Sunday without both S Bob Sanders and DE Dwight Freeney. Freeney was hurt in Sunday’s win over the Cards. This will negatively impact the Colts’ pass rush and give the Seahawks time to pass, and locate Carlson. Look for a bounce back game for the second year TE with over 70 yards and one TD.
4. Chris Cooley vs. Tampa Buccaneers
The Bucs have been awful on defense and Cooley has been one of Jason Campbell’s most reliable targets. Facing this porous defense, expect the Skins to attack the middle of the field and for Cooley to have a big day as a result.
Sleepers
1. Anthony Fasano vs. Buffalo Bills
With Chad Henne now under center, expect the second-year signal caller to focus on safe, manageable, passes. And in a Bill Parcells/Tony Sparano run offense, that means a lot of passes to the TE. Fasano has a chance to score a TD and is an excellent fantasy sleeper in Week Four.
2. Chris Baker vs. Baltimore Ravens
The former Jets TE hauled in his first TD vs. the Falcons and appears to be getting more involved in the offense. Look for Baker to score another TD vs. the Ravens although this one will probably come closer to the goal line.
Others We Like
Vernon Davis vs. St. Louis Rams
Davis is now beginning to play like the big-time TE the Niners expected him to be when they invested the 6th overall pick in him in 2006. He had a strong game against the Vikings (two TDs) and look for another strong effort against the lowly Rams this week.
Owen Daniels vs. Oakland Raiders
With so much attention being paid to Andre Johnson and Kevin Walter, look for Daniels to enjoy one-on-one coverage vs. the Raiders on Sunday. Matt Schaub will know what to do with this mismatch.
Antonio Gates vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Chargers will once again be forced to pass vs. Pittsburgh (a top run defense) and we think Phillip Rivers will attack the middle of the defense which is currently without S Troy Polamalu. Expect San Diego to isolate Gates against a Linebacker or Safety and for the All-Pro TE to win that match-up all night.
