Must Start
1. Calvin Johnson vs. Oak – The Raiders are quite good at giving up the deep ball.
2. Wes Welker vs. Den – The Patriots will be passing ALL day in this one. The Broncos D is tough but stopping Brady and Welker is rare.
3. Hakeem Nicks vs. Was – He’s stepped his game up the past few weeks and will torch the Skins DBs on Sunday.
4. Mike Wallace vs. SF – The Niners have no one who can keep up with Wallace’s deep speed… which is how Pittsburgh will attack SF on Monday.
Next
Miles Austin vs. TB – He returned to score a TD vs. New York. He’ll follow it up with another big game on Saturday.
Marques Colston vs. Min – The terrible Vikings pass D will translate to a big day for Colston.
Roddy White vs. JAX – The Jags secondary can and will be exposed.
The Rest
Jordy Nelson vs. KC – Greg Jennings injury will open up more opportunities for Nelson.
DeSean Jackson vs. NYJ – When he’s lined up against CB Cromartie expect the Eagles to go deep.
Larry Fitzgerald vs. Cle – He was a beast vs. the 49ers. Look for another 100 yard effort with a TD this week.
Dez Bryant vs. TB – The Bucs secondary will have trouble keeping up with Bryant.
Santana Moss vs. NYG –The Giants pass D looks incredibly lost at times.
Victor Cruz vs. Was – Expect 100 yards and a score this week.
Percy Harvin vs. NO – Harvin has emerged the past few weeks with two huge games.
Vincent Jackson vs. SD – The Chargers will need their big play receiver to play big in this one.
Julio Jones vs. JAX – The talented rookie is a candidate to take a long one to the house on Thursday.
Mike Williams vs. Dal – He makes the list because the Cowboys pass defense can be exposed.
Dwayne Bowe vs. GB – Should Kyle Orton get the start this becomes more attractive. Regardless, the Packers pass D is one of the worst in the NFL.
Santonio Holmes vs. Phi – The match-up isn’t particularly attractive but Holmes will make plays over the middle.
AJ Green vs. Stl – The Rams secondary is a welcome sight to all opposing receivers.
Brandon Marshall vs. Buf – It’s the Bills, who can’t stop anyone.
Stevie Johnson vs. Mia – One last hurrah for Johnson owners in 2011. Tough to tell which Dolphins team will show up after their coach was fired.
Fantasy Sleeper
Demarius Thomas vs. NE – The Patriots secondary is atrocious and thin. Belichick is now putting offensive players back there. Thomas had more than a few drops in Week 14 but remains a good fantasy sleeper candidate for this one.
