Must Start
Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Andrew Luck
Tier 1
Aaron Rodgers vs. NE – This is his toughest test of the season.
Tony Romo vs. Phi – The Eagles will be forced to commit more against the run which will open up the passing games.
Ben Roethlisberger vs. NO – It’s been light and day Roethlisberger when playing at home or the road. He’s home this week.
Drew Brees vs. Pit – He’ll be firing and the Steelers D is a bit limited. But Brees struggles on grass surfaces away from home.
Matt Stafford vs. Chi – Nothing like the Bears D to get Stafford back on track.
Ryan Tannehill vs. NYJ – Jets are midpack stopping the pass.
Eli Manning vs. Jax – The Eli to ODB connection should be on display against a giving Jaguars D. Eli is a low No. 1.
Tier 2
Mark Sanchez vs. Dal – Dallas ranks 19th vs. the pass and Philly will be throwing all afternoon. Expect 17-20 points.
Cam Newton vs. Min – Newton will put 14-17 FFL points at Minnesota.
Andy Dalton vs. TB – This is another strong play for Dalton. Bucs bottom 25.
Russell Wilson vs. SF – The 49ers run a strong D, so look for Wilson to pick up points with his legs.
Matt Ryan vs. Arz – The Cards rank at the bottom 3rd of the league against the pass.
Bust
Jay Cutler vs. Det – The Lions aggressive D will be all over Cutler on Thursday.
Fantasy Sleeper
Drew Stanton vs. Atl – The Falcons pass D ranks dead last. Look for Stanton to put up 17-20 FFL points.
