1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Was – Rodgers will light up the Skins suspect secondary in the home opener.
2. Peyton Manning vs. NYG – Another 7 TD performance? No, but the Giants D can be susceptible to the pass.
3. Cam Newton vs. Buf – The Bills secondary is depleted even more so after Week 1 and Newton will make waves on the ground.
4. Eli Manning vs. Den – Manning and his receivers will top 300 yards with 2-3 TDs. The Broncos secondary will have difficulty with the Giants receivers.
Not too far away
Matt Ryan vs. Stl – A healthier Roddy White will help result in a bigger day for Ryan.
Drew Brees vs. TB – This is a tougher match-up for Brees but he’ll still top 20 fantasy points with a few red zone TDs.
RGIII vs. GB – The Packers are lacking in the secondary and Monday night was a confidence builder for Griffin.
Rounding things out
Andrew Luck vs. Mia – Luck will top 250 yards with another 2-3 TDs at home.
Russell Wilson vs. SF – Wilson buried SF at home a year ago. Don’t expect that this go around, but he’s still a solid start and the 49ers still have trouble defending the pass.
Tony Romo vs. KC – The Chiefs dominant performance vs. the Jags was just that… vs. the Jags.
Andy Dalton vs. Pit – The Steelers are staring at 0-2 and Dalton will have a big game through the air as Pittsburgh falls to that record.
Colin Kaepernick vs. Sea – The Seahawks are banged up defensively which will help Kaepernick’s fantasy stats, but don’t expect a repeat of week 1.
Sam Bradford vs. Atl – He has a whole new suite of weapons and showed potential last week. The Falcons pass D is vulnerable.
Carson Palmer vs. Det – The Cards will pass a lot this week. Detroit stuffed Adrian Peterson outside of his long TD run to start the game.
Matt Stafford vs. Arz – Look for a lot of yards in this one with a score or two. But.. Arizona is a tough place to play and this defense is good.
Michael Vick vs. SD – The Chargers secondary is horrendous and Kelly’s offense is still new to the league.
Philip Rivers vs. Phi – The Eagles secondary is a weak point for the defense.
Potential Bust – Beware
Tom Brady vs. NE – If WR Danny Amendola is out to go with RB Rob Gronkowski AND RB Shane Vereen, look for Brady to bust this week. There’s only so much he can do. The Jets have a talented D and Rex Ryan has game planned Brady before.

[...] Rams (+7) vs. Atl – The Rams are more talented than a year ago and have more weapons for QB Sam Bradford to work with. They’ll head into Atlanta and not only cover, but have a good chance to steal [...]
