1. Tom Brady vs. Mia – Brady topped 500 yards and 4 TDs in their 1^st meeting.

2. Drew Brees vs. Atl – There’s a good chance he’ll top Dan Marino’s all-time passing record while throwing 3 TDs on Monday Night.

3. Michael Vick vs. Dal – The Cowboys secondary looks awfully vulnerable against Vick and Co.

4. Aaron Rodgers vs. Chi – The biggest issue here is whether he plays the entire game.

Next

Philip Rivers vs. Det – every since LT Gaither was signed Rivers has looked like a new man. Big time match-up here.

Matt Stafford vs. SD – The same goes for Stafford. The Lions are close to clinching a playoff position and Stafford will be slinging it on Sunday.

Tony Romo vs. Phi – Romo has been on fire and the Eagles secondary isn’t as vaunted as originally expected.

The Rest

Matt Ryan vs. NO – The emergence of WR Julio Jones coupled with the Saints pass D makes this a very attractive play.

Eli Manning vs. NYJ – It looks like TE Jake Ballard will be out but Manning will still find success attacking this pass D.

Cam Newton vs. TB – He’ll add to his impressive rookie stats with another 3 TD performance against the Bucs.

Matt Moore vs. NE – The Pats secondary is horrible.

Matt Hasselback vs. JAX – Fortunately for Hasselback the Jags secondary is extremely poor in pass coverage.

Alex Smith vs. Sea – It’d be tough to bank your fantasy football title on Alex Smith but the Seahawks’ secondary is the team’s weakness.

Fantasy Sleeper

Josh Freeman vs. Car – He’s been a major disappointment in 2011 but has an excellent match-up here. He’s a good fantasy sleeper in the fantasy finals and will put up 22-25 points vs. a beleaguered Panthers’ D.

1. Drew Brees vs. Min – The Vikings are horrible vs. the pass. Brees will light the Vikings secondary up on Sunday.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. KC  – Even down Greg Jennings, Rodgers has more than enough weapons to top 300 yards and 3 TDs.

3. Tom Brady vs. Den – The Broncos D is playing very well but containing Brady is easier said than done.

4. Eli Manning vs. Was – The Giants receivers will be busy vs. the Skins.

Next

Matt Stafford vs. Oak – The Raiders pass D has really regressed over the past month.

Tony Romo vs. TB – Austin’s return made Romo that much more dangerous.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. SF – The 49ers pass defense is its weakness. Make sure Ben is healthy enough to go and if so, have him in your fantasy football lineup.

The Rest

Matt Ryan vs. JAX – The emergence of WR Julio Jones makes Ryan more attractive in fantasy football. He’s coming off a 4 TD performance.

Phillip Rivers vs. Bal – The Chargers figure to be passing 70% of the time in this one.

Michael Vick vs. NYJ – The loss of S Jim Leonhard will hurt the Jets pass D. Look for CB Antonio Cromartie to get torched on a few occasions.

Josh Freeman vs. Dal – The Cowboys secondary is horrendous.

Joe Flacco vs. SD – Flacco will top 250 yards and 2 TDs in San Diego.

Cam Newton vs. Hou – It won’t be an easy feat against a very good defense, but Cam’s arm and legs make him a viable fantasy threat each week.

Carson Palmer vs. Det – Forget his awful performances over the past few weeks; Palmer and Co. will get back on track against a regressing Lions defense.

Tim Tebow vs. NE – Mainly because the Patriots pass defense ranks at the bottom of the league.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Mia – Tough to see the Dolphins defense showing up after HC Tony Sparano was fired.

Fantasy Sleeper

Rex Grossman vs. NYG – Tough to bank your fantasy playoffs on Rex Grossman, but the Giants are challenged at defending the pass. He’s a good fantasy sleeper this week.

1.  Aaron Rodgers vs. Oak – He’s playing better than anyone and poised to have the best season for a QB ever. This is not good news for the Raiders.

2. Tom Brady vs. Was – Things are bleak in Redskins’ land. Brady will eclipse 300 yards with 3 TDs on Sunday.

3. Drew Brees vs. Ten – Only Aaron Rodgers is playing better.

4. Eli Manning vs. Dal – He typically plays VERY well in Dallas and enters this on fire.

Next

Michael Vick vs. Mia – The Dolphins are no easy foe but Vick should post strong fantasy football numbers in this one.

Philip Rivers vs. Buf – Everyone passes well on the Bills.

Tony Romo vs. NYG – The Giants are depleted in the secondary and that’s where Romo and Co. will look to hurt them.

The Rest

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cle- Look for 250 yards and 3 TDs from Big Ben on Thursday Night.

Matt Stafford vs. Min – The Vikings rank among the worst on pass defense.

Cam Newton vs. Atl – He’ll hurt the Falcons both on the ground and through the air.

Matt Ryan vs. Car – The porous Panthers secondary makes this an attractive start for Ryan.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. SD – Fitzpatrick will find a lot of success against the Chargers secondary in SD.

Joe Flacco vs. Ind – Flacco’s not the guy you want to bank your fantasy playoffs on but the Colts make him a nice fantasy sleeper play.

Josh Freeman vs. JAX – Freeman should be healthy enough to go and the Jags have problems against the pass.

Fantasy Sleeper

Alex Smith vs. Arz – The Cardinals strength is its run defense so look for Smith to be tactical through the air. He’s a nice fantasy sleeper in Round 1 of the fantasy playoffs.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. NYG – Rodgers and Co. will pick apart the Giants depleted back 7.

2. Drew Brees vs. Det – The Lions are minus DT Ndamukong Suh and pass D is not their strength.

3. Tom Brady vs. Ind – Expect 300 yards and 4 TDs in this one.

4. Tony Romo vs. Arz – The Cowboys should have WR Miles Austin back and will be throwing plenty in this one. Even if he’s not back Romo will post excellent numbers.

Next

Eli Manning vs. GB – The Packers secondary can be hurt. Manning is playing at a high level.

Matt Stafford vs. NO – The Lions will be winging it on Sunday Night.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Atl – Roethlisberger will hook up with his outside receivers all day long.

The Rest

Cam Newton vs. TB – The Bucs are bad and will be exploited by Newton and Co. – both on the ground and through the air.

Phillip Rivers vs. JAX – Both teams are in disarray but Rivers should be able to find the end zone at least twice on Monday Night.

Joe Flacco vs. Cle – Flacco’s on 10 days rest and will top 225 yards with a few TDs this week.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Ten – There’s no more ground game in Buffalo. Fitzpatrick will be slinging it.

Josh Freeman vs. Car – The Panthers’ secondary is mighty generous to opposing QBs.

Carson Palmer vs. Mia – Palmer will find success against the Dolphins secondary this week.

Tim Tebow vs. Min – It’s not pretty but he gets it done late.

Fantasy Sleeper

Matt Moore vs. Car – The Dolphins passing game has been clicking at home which is where this will be played. Moore is a nice fantasy sleeper in Week 13 as you ready for the fantasy playoffs.

Image via Wikipedia

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Det – It’s Turkey Day, and Rodgers is having a historic season.

2. Drew Brees vs. NYG – They’ve had a week off and the Giants are banged up in the back seven.

3. Tom Brady vs. NE – Look for Brady to attack the Eagles down the middle of the field.

4. Ben Roethlisberger vs. KC – Roethlisberger’s skill players will abuse the Chiefs secondary.

Next

Eli Manning vs. NO – The Saints defense is middle of the pack.  Eli will top 250 with 2-3 TDs.

* Michael Vick vs. NE – The Pats give up a lot of yards and points to opposing passing games.

Tony Romo vs. Mia – The Dolphins are improving but Romo will hurt them through the air.

The Rest

Matt Stafford vs. GB – The Packers secondary has been torched in two out of the last three weeks.

Phillip Rivers vs. Den – This is as good a time as any to rediscover his game.

Andy Dalton vs. Cle – Even minus AJ Green Dalton put up big time numbers.

Joe Flacco vs. SF – The Niners D is stout. But the Ravens will make plays through the air.

Cam Newton vs. Ind – Expect his sensational rookie season to continue when the winless Colts come to town.

Josh Freeman vs. Ten – Freeman’s got a good match-up this week.

Matt Ryan vs. Min – The Vikings are depleted in this one.

Fantasy Sleeper

Matt Moore vs. Dal – The Cowboys D is soft vs. the pass. Moore comes in red hot and is a solid fantasy sleeper in Week 12.

Image by Matthew Straubmuller via Flickr

Must Start

1. Michael Vick vs. Arz – The Cards have the worst secondary in football.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. Min – No one is playing at a higher level. Look for 300 yards and 3 TDs.

3. Phillip Rivers vs. Oak – While Rivers is throwing a lot of INTs, he’s also throwing a lot of TDs and for a lot of yards.

4. Drew Brees vs. Atl – Brees will light up a suspect Falcons Secondary.

Next

Tony Romo vs. Buf – The Bills secondary is giving up a lot of yards and TDs.

Eli Manning vs. SF – The Niners strength is against the run and Eli is playing lights out.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cin – It’s tough for defenses to stay with the Steelers skill players in ‘10.

The Rest

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Dal – Fitzpatrick will have a lot of success in Big D on Sunday.

Cam Newton vs. Ten – The Titans pass D has proved ordinary after a hot start.

Matt Schaub vs. TB – Schaub could have Andre Johnson back for this one. Regardless, expect a few TDs and 250 yards.

Matt Ryan vs. NO – Julio Jones emergence instantly raises Ryan’s value in fantasy football.

Josh Freeman vs. Hou – Freeman’s going to be asked to do a lot against the Texans this week. Expect him to make some plays on the ground.

Tom Brady vs. NYJ – Brady’s always a must start, but don’t expect top tier numbers. The Jets D always plays him tough in NJ and the Pats offense is in a slump.

Matt Hasselback vs. Car – Hasselback will enjoy success against the Panthers Secondary.

Matt Stafford vs. Det – Look for multiple TDs against the Bears on Sunday.

Mark Sanchez vs. NE – Sanchez and his receivers are starting to click and the Pats secondary is awful.

Fantasy Sleeper

Carson Palmer vs. SD – The Chargers D is atrocious. Palmer’s gotten off to a rough start but he’ll have opportunities to make plays this Thursday. He’s a solid fantasy sleeper to have a breakout game.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. SD – The top fantasy football QB will torch the Chargers’ secondary.

2. Tom Brady vs. NYG – The Giants secondary has been prone to giving up big plays.

3. Michael Vick vs. Chi – The bye week appears to have done Vick and Co. good.  He’ll top 300 yards with 3 TDs on Monday Night.

4. Drew Brees vs. TB – The Saints QB will bounce back with a 300 yard and 3 TD game vs. the Bucs at home.

Next

Eli Manning vs. NE – The Patriots secondary is VERY generous to opposing QBs.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Bal – The Steelers QB will be looking for revenge after the debacle Week 1.

Phillip Rivers vs. GB – Rivers will pass 40+ times in this one.

The Rest

Matt Schaub vs. Cle – He desperately hopes Andre Johnson is back for this one. However, he’ll do just fine against the Browns.

Tony Romo vs. Sea – Romo comes off a horrible Week 8 showing but has a great match-up here.

Josh Freeman vs.  NO – Freeman will have used the bye week to correct some earlier issues.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. NYJ – Fitzpatrick spreads the ball around nicely and will toss 2 TDs here.

Matt Ryan vs. Ind – Ryan should post 250 yards and 2 TDs vs. the Colts.

Matt Cassel vs. Mia – The Dolphins lack of pass rush will give Cassel time to dial some plays down the field.

Mark Sanchez vs. Buf – There are opportunities for big plays and TDs against the Bills. Sanchez is more of a sleeper but could produce double digit fantasy points if your No. 1 QB is out this week.

Fantasy Sleeper

Sam Bradford vs. Arz – He’s been out for two weeks with a high ankle sprain. This should be his 1^st game back, and he gets the Cardinals who are TERRIBLE at pass defense. Because of that Bradford’s a solid fantasy sleeper in Week 9.

Image via Wikipedia

Must Start

1. Tom Brady vs. Pit – Brady is coming off the bye and owns the Steelers.

2. Drew Brees vs. Stl – Don’t expect 300 yards and 5 TDs; 3 TDs is probably more likely.

3. Ben Roethlisberger vs. NE  – The Patriots pass D gives up large chunks of yards.

4. Michael Vick vs. Dal – He should be able to amass a ton of yardage plus a few scores against the Cowboys.

Next

Tony Romo vs. Phi – Look for Romo to top 250 yards with 2- 3 TDs.

Eli Manning vs. Mia – The Dolphins may have hit rock bottom in the final minutes of Sunday’s game. However, their secondary being unable to stop anyone has been consistent all year.

Cam Newton vs.  Min  – Newton’s been a monster throwing as well as rushing the ball. The Vikings pass D is suspect to say the least.

The Rest

Phillip Rivers vs. KC – Expect Rivers to bounce back on Monday Night vs. the Chiefs. Gates should open up the entire passing game.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Was   – The Bills will have room to work through the air.

Matthew Stafford vs . Den – Check his health status but the Broncos can be hurt through the air.

Tim Tebow vs. Det – It was UGLY for most of the Dolphins game, but Tebow got it done. The Lions pass D is their main weakness.

Matt Cassel vs. SD – The Chargers D was beaten for 3 pass TDs vs. Mark Sanchez.

Matt Schaub vs. JAX – Schaub has enough firepower to eclipse 250 yards and a few TDs this week.

Fantasy Sleeper

Joe Flacco vs. Arz – He’s coming off an embarrassing effort Monday Night but has reason to smile this week. EVERYONE passes on the Cards secondary and Flacco will enjoy a nice bounce back game this week. He is a good fantasy sleeper if your starter is on the bye.

Image via Wikipedia

Must Start

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Min – No O-Lineman, no problem. Rodgers will light up the Vikings to the tune of 300 yards and 3 TDs in Week 7.

2. Drew Brees vs. Ind – Brees will abuse the Colts secondary all evening long. Expect 300 yards and 3 TDs on Sunday Night.

3. Phillip Rivers vs. NYJ – Rivers and Co. will pass all over a suspect Jets D.

4. Tony Romo vs. Stl – The Rams D gets torched by everyone.

Next

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Arz – Look for Big Ben to have great success against a depleted Cardinals secondary.

Matthew Stafford vs. ATL – The Falcons D isn’t the Niners. Look for 250+ yards and a few TDs.

Josh Freeman vs. Chi – Freeman found his ’10 form vs. the Saints with a pair of TDs. Expect that to carry over vs. the Bears.

The Rest

Joe Flacco vs. JAX – Flacco will find the end zone at least twice on Monday Night.

Matt Ryan vs. Det – The Lions strength is its front 7. Look for Ryan and his receivers to have success on Sunday.

Cam Newton vs. Was – Newton will be a threat both throwing and running vs. the Skins.

Jay Cutler vs. TB – He’s a good fill in if your No. 1 is out. Cutler can do damage against the Bucs.

Colt McCoy vs. Sea – McCoy tossed two TDs vs. the Raiders and faces a much softer pass D this week.

Matt Schaub vs. Ten – The Titans gave up 5 TDs to the Steelers two weeks ago.

Fantasy Sleeper

Kevin Kolb vs. Pit – The Steelers may be without S Troy Polamalu. The Cards are coming off the bye which gave Kolb and his receivers time to clean some things up. This game is at home and he’s a good fantasy sleeper.

Image via Wikipedia

Must Start

1. Tom Brady vs. Dal – Brady picks apart everybody and the Cowboys pass D is its weakness.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. Stl – The Rams D poses little threat to the Packers passing game.

3. Drew Brees vs. TB – The Bucs, and notably their defense, have regressed in ’11.

4. Michael Vick vs. Was – They’re not winning but Vick is still shining in fantasy football.

Next

Tony Romo vs. NE – The Pats can’t stop the pass and Romo should have a full complement of receivers at his disposal.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. NYG – The Giants secondary has glaring weaknesses in pass coverage.

Eli Manning vs. Buf – The Giants passing game has once again become explosive at the expense of no running game.

The Rest

Joe Flacco vs. Hou – The Texans DBs are not its strength and the loss of LB Mario Williams hurts their pass rush.

Matthew Stafford vs. SF – The Lions passing attack presents match-up problems for the Niners.

Ben Roethlisbger vs. JAX – Should follow up his 5 TD performance with another solid effort vs. the Jags.

Cam Newton vs. ATL – The Falcons secondary is ordinary at best.

Matt Ryan vs. Car – The Panthers’ D has been kind to opposing passing attacks too.

Josh Freeman vs. NO –The offense is struggling in ’11 but Freeman’s historically performed well vs. the Saints.

Fantasy Sleeper

Colt McCoy vs. Oak – The Raiders strength is their front 7. Look for McCoy to be on the run this afternoon but quietly put up a solid numbers. He’s a good fantasy sleeper in Week 6.
