1. Dallas Clark vs. Tennessee Titans
Clark has been Peyton Manning’s primary target over the past few weeks and has delivered for fantasy owners. He’ll once again find favorable match-ups in the Titans secondary and we like for the top fantasy football TE of Week Five to break 100 yards and one TD.
2. Jason Witten vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Witten’s been forced to stay in and block recently due to the Cowboys offensive line woes. That won’t be a problem this week; the Chiefs don’t have much in the way of a pass rush. Expect Witten to be a primary target on Sunday and to finish with over 80 yards and a score.
3. John Carlson vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Carlson’s seen a drop off in numbers since his two TD performance on Opening Day. A lot of that can be attributed to the loss of starting QB, Matt Hasselback, who could be back for this one. LT Walter Jones could be back as well. Look for Seattle to rediscover its offensive rhythm this week and for Carlson to score at least once.
4. Brent Celek vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Bucs were torched by Chris Cooley on Sunday and now face Brent Celek, one of the top fantasy sleepers of the season thus far. He’s eclipsed the 100 yard mark twice and scored two TDs in the first three games. He’ll score his third, and possibly fourth of the season in this one.
Sleepers
1. Anthony Fasano vs. New York Jets
The Dolphins weren’t forced to do anything in the vertical game on Sunday because they ran at will on the depleted – and demoralized – Bills. This week, they won’t be so fortunate. Expect Fasano to be heavily involved vs. the stingy Jets defense and to notch a short yardage TD.
2. Chris Baker vs. Denver Broncos
As Baker learns the offense, he’ll find himself more involved. He caught a nice long TD against the Falcons and could be targeted multiple times in this one if the Broncos corners are playing well. Look for a goal line score on Sunday.
Others We Like
Kevin Boss vs. Oakland Raiders
Eli should be able to play this week and we think he’ll focus on Boss with CB Nnamdi Asomugha lurking on the outside. He should score his first TD of the season.
Heath Miller vs. Detroit Lions
Miller’s been one of Roethlisberger’s top targets in short yardage pass plays and near the goal line. He scored twice last Sunday vs. San Diego and will reach the end zone again vs. the Lions.
Tony Gonzalez vs. San Francisco 49ers
The Niners are playing very well defensively but will have their hands full on Sunday. Atlanta will move Gonzalez around and find mismatches down the middle of the field.
