Must Start
1. Tom Brady vs. Ten – Tom Brady and Co. will light up a Titans secondary which is now minus CB Cortland Finnegan. 350 yards and 3 TDs for the top ranked fantasy football QB in Week 1.
2. Drew Brees vs. NO – Brees will throw for 350 yards and 3 TDs against the Skins at home.
3. Matt Stafford vs. Stl – This is an excellent matchup for Stafford and Co. who get a Rams defense that is still learning a new system.
4. Aaron Rodgers vs. SF – The 49ers D is stout, but suspect to potent passing games.
Next
Michael Vick vs. Cle – Vick thrives vs. mediocre defenses. Look for a 2-3 scores through the air and some big yards on the ground.
Eli Manning vs. Dal – The Cowboys D will be improved, but Eli always performs well vs. Dallas. Hakeem Nicks is back for this one too.
Jay Cutler vs. Ind – The Colts may have the worst defense in football.
The Rest
Cam Newton vs. TB – It’ll be interesting to see Newton in year two. Large chunks of yardage can be gained vs. Tampa Bay.
Tony Romo vs. NYG – The Giants will be pumped for the home opener by getting after Romo, but they are down a starting CB which should leave opportunities for Romo and Co.
Josh Freeman vs Car – The Panthers back seven is nothing special. Look for Freeman and his improved offense to put up yards / points through the air.
Peyton Manning vs. Pit – Defense is still the Steelers backbone, but Manning should throw for at least two TDs in his first game back in over a year.
Matt Ryan vs. KC – The Chiefs D is solid, but stopping WR’s White and Jones is a tall order.
Matt Schaub vs. Mia – The Dolphins D is a mess and they just traded their top CB (Davis) to the Colts. Andre Johnson and Co. have a big game here.
Philip Rivers vs. Oak – The Chargers are starting a rookie FA LT to protect Rivers’ blindside, but the Raiders secondary can be hurt.
Ben Roethlisberger vs. Den – Not the easiest match-up, but Roethlisberger should be good for a few TDs on Sunday Night.
Fantasy Sleeper
Jake Locker vs NE – Locker is a more of a fantasy sleeper here, but the Pats surrendered a lot of points and yards a year ago.
