1. Tony Gonzalez vs. Chicago Bears
The Falcons air attack was on full display vs. the Niners and we expect the same this week when the Bears come to town. No one has had an answer for Gonzalez to date – the Bears won’t either, and the HOF TE will top the 100 yard mark with one score on Sunday Night.
2. Antonio Gates vs. Denver Broncos
The Chargers lack of a consistent running game means Rivers and Co must pass more. While this isn’t necessarily the best formula for winning games, it’s perfect for fantasy football. Expect the Chargers to locate their star TE all night and for Gates to have another solid game like he had against the Steelers.
3. Owen Daniels vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Daniels usually finds himself in pretty winnable match-ups thanks to all of the attention paid to Andre Johnson by opposing defenses. The Texans will be passing on Sunday and you can expect Schaub to target Daniels throughout the afternoon.
4. John Carlson vs. Arizona Cardinals
Carlson’s been a disappointment after his stellar opening day two TD performance. A lot of that can be attributed to the loss of Matt Hasselback but things should pick up this week. Look for the second year TE to beat the Cardinals for at least 70 yards and one score.
Sleepers
1. Kevin Boss vs. New Orleans Saints
Boss took last Sunday off to rest his injured ankle against the Raiders. He should be back this week and he’ll be an excellent fantasy sleeper if he is. Both the Giants and Saints could be passing a lot on Sunday and Boss should own the middle of the field.
2. Jermichael Finley vs. Detroit Lions
The last time we saw Finley, he put up 128 receiving yards vs. the Vikings on Monday Night. Mixed into that performance was a 62 yard TD. Look for him to remain a prime receiving threat as Rodgers targets him down the middle of the field on Sunday.
Others We Like
Brent Celek vs. Oakland Raiders
Celek’s become the Eagles main target over the middle and has responded with strong games in each of his four starts. The only thing which could limit him here is if the Eagles take a commanding lead and abandon the pass. We still think he scores.
Chris Cooley vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Cooley was uncharacteristically held without a catch on Sunday in a disappointing effort vs. the Panthers. Look for a bounce back against the struggling Chiefs and for Cooley to once again be an integral part of the passing game.
Kellen Winslow vs. Carolina Panthers
Winslow had a monster game in their blowout loss to the Eagles (102 yards, two TDs) and seems to be QB Josh Johnson’s main target. Look for another excellent fantasy performance vs. the Panthers.
