(Phi - DEF) No new player Notes
Was They have some injury issues and Campbell playing better but got 6 sacks against them earlier this year.
(Ten - RB) Player notes
Ari Clearly the best RB in football at this point and Cardinals can be run on.
(Min - WR) Player notes
Chi Bear secondary giving up 2nd most points to WRs in their last five so looking great.
(NE - QB) Player notes
@NO Saints still have major issues in their secondary so he should take advantage of depleted CB group.
(Phi - K) No new player Notes
Was Kicked 2 FGs against them earlier this year and has been absolute money.
(NO - WR) Player notes
NE If Brees throws it 40+ times as expected good things have to happen.
(Atl - TE) Player notes
TB Bucs giving up 8th most ppg. to TEs in their last four so start him.
(SF - RB) Player notes
Jac Jag defense seems to play better at home and Gore should get plenty of touches in his home stadium.
(Ind - QB) New player notes
@Hou Threw for 318 against them earlier this year and Texan secondary remains their weakness on defense.
(Min - DEF) No new player Notes
Chi Cutler's having major problems and LT Pace against DE Allen is a major issue.
(Ari - WR) Player notes
@Ten Should see a lot of top CB Finnegan but a stud you start every week.
(NYJ - RB) Player notes
Car He should get the rock a ton and Panthers giving up a healthy 24 ppg. to RBs in their last five games.
(Atl - WR) New player notes
TB Bucs giving up 3rd most points to WRs in their last four so definitely start him.
(NE - WR) Player notes
@NO Fantastic matchup as Saints should be without both starting corners.
(SD - WR) New player notes
KC Put up 5/142/1 against their less than physical corners earlier this year.
(SD - TE) Player notes
KC Caught 5 balls against them earlier this year and their safeties can be beaten.
(SD - QB) Player notes
KC Threw for 268/3 against them earlier this year and his physical WRs will give them a lot of problems.
(NE - WR) Player notes
@NO Is being fed the rock a ton and great matchup and situation in potential shoot out.
(Ind - RB) New player notes
@Hou Really playing well lately and put up 23 fantasy points against them earlier this year.
(Ind - WR) New player notes
@Hou Didn't go off against them earlier this year but he did catch 8 passes.
(Car - RB) Player notes
@NYJ Jets continue to struggle against the run with no DT Jenkins so he should be fine.
(NO - QB) Player notes
NE Not the best matchup by the numbers but he should throw it 40+ times and good things will happen.
(Jac - RB) New player notes
@SF The 49ers were clearly run on last week so looking better than he normally would against this solid defense.
(Min - QB) Player notes
Chi Bear defense is the most predictable in the league and giving up 2.5 TDs per game to QBs in their last five.
(SD - K) Player notes
KC Good matchup and he kicked 3 FGs against them earlier this year.
(NE - K) Player notes
@NO Has been very good for the most part this year and points should be scored in this one.
(Ind - TE) Player notes
@Hou Caught 14 balls against them earlier this year so you may want to start him.
(Min - RB) New player notes
Chi Bear defense is likely in a world of hurt this week and still giving up 132 rushing YPG to RBs in their last five.
(Hou - WR) No new player Notes
Ind He caught 10 balls against them earlier this year so you may want to start him.
(Jac - WR) New player notes
@SF He does it every week and the 49ers can clearly be thrown on.
(SD - DEF) No new player Notes
KC Playing well and had 4 sacks and 3 INTs against them earlier this year.
(SF - TE) Player notes
Jac Not a great matchup by the numbers 49ers are going to him down the seem quite frequently.
(Mia - RB) New player notes
@Buf Fantastic matchup against depleted defensive front and he will get the rock.
(Cin - DEF) No new player Notes
Cle Scored a TD against them earlier this year and Quinn still isn't very good.
(TB - TE) New player notes
@Atl Falcons giving up 6th most ppg. to TEs in their last five.
(Min - WR) No new player Notes
Chi Excellent upside this week as Bear secondary giving up 2nd most points to WRs in their last five.
(Pit - QB) New player notes
@Bal Ravens are down a starting CB this week and no LB Suggs so Pittsburgh should spread them out and throw it.
(StL - RB) New player notes
Sea No QB Bulger hurts but he's been terrific and he'll get a ton of touches but no practice on Friday and all week with back spasms so game time decision.
(Pit - RB) Player notes
@Bal Ravens have been run on a little bit this year and he should be good for a healthy numbers of touches.
(Atl - QB) Player notes
TB Played much better in the second half last week and great matchup as Tampa giving up 3rd most points to QBs in their last four.
(NYJ - K) No new player Notes
Car Solid chance to come through in what should be a close game.
(NO - TE) Player notes
NE Could certainly come through here as Brees throws it 40+ times.
(Cin - WR) Player notes
Cle He scored 2 TDs against them earlier this year and he's their only play maker at WR.
(Atl - RB) Player notes
TB Fantastic matchup but ranking totally depends on the status of RB Turner.
(Ari - WR) Player notes
@Ten Tricky matchup but Fitzgerald should see their top corner.
(Hou - QB) Player notes
Ind Threw for 311/1 against them earlier this year and Colts do still start two rookie CBs if Hayden is out again.
(Min - TE) No new player Notes
Chi Definitely has potential against vulnerable secondary.
(Sea - WR) Player notes
@StL Put up 7/74/1 against them earlier this year so worth a shot.
(Chi - TE) Player notes
@Min Vikes have been better against the TE lately but he's been a safety valve for Cutler lately.
(SF - WR) Player notes
Jac No CB Mathis is huge and Jags giving up 6th most points to WRs in their last four.
