1. Drew Brees vs. TB – The Bucs pass D is horrific.

2. Cam Newton vs. SD – Cam has come on very strong the past few weeks.

3. Tom Brady vs. SF – The Pats spread offense will give the 49ers trouble.

4. Peyton Manning vs. Bal – He’ll carve up this pass D.

Next

Eli Manning vs. Atl – Manning and the passing game are beginning to find its groove.

Matt Ryan vs. NYG – The Giants D has surrendered a number of big plays this year.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Chi – Not the easiest match-up, but Rodgers will top 20 fantasy points.

The Rest

Matt Stafford vs. Arz – The Cards D has quit.

Andrew Luck vs. Hou – The Texans can be thrown on.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Dal – Roethlisberger will post big numbers here.

RGIII vs. Cle – Make sure he’s playing, but decent play if so.

Must Start

1. Peyton Manning vs. Oak – It’s the Raiders.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. Det – The Lions have been surrendering a lot of yards and TDs through the air.

3. Tom Brady vs. Hou – The Texans pass D is a liability.

4. Eli Manning vs. NO – The Saints D ranks near the bottom in every category.

Next

Andrew Luck vs. Ten – Stick with the rookie phenom in this one.

Drew Brees vs. NYG – He’ll be throwing all afternoon on this secondary.

RGIII vs. Bal – The Ravens could be without LB Terrell Suggs and RGIII is on fire.

The Rest

Matt Ryan vs. Car – His best games have come on the road in 2012.

Cam Newton vs. Atl – The Falcons DBs are dinged up and Newton is playing his best ball of the season.

Matt Stafford vs. GB – 15-20 fantasy points is likely on SNF. Stafford’s taken a step back this year.

Matt Schaub vs. NE – The Texans will attack a porous Patriots pass D.

Josh Freeman vs. Phi – The Eagles have quit on the season and their pass D is pathetic.

Joe Flacco vs. Was  - Flacco is tough to trust but the Redskins DBs give up a lot of big plays.

Tony Romo vs. Cin – Romo’s playing well and will hit 20-25 fantasy points on Sunday.

Andy Dalton vs. Dal – Dalton’s played exceptionally well over the 4 game winning streak.

1. Drew Brees vs. ATL – The Falcons are short on DBs.

2. Tom Brady vs. Mia – The Dolphins typically stifle Brady but we don’t see it this time.

3. Matt Ryan vs. NO – The Saints D just kept their 1st opponent this season to under 400 yards.

4. Aaron Rodgers vs. Min – If you’re planning to bet on Super Bowl 2013 , unless the Packers O Line woes get better, don’t expect to see Rodgers there. But for fantasy purposes, he’ll do enough vs. a Vikings team to propel you into the playoffs.

Next

Eli Manning vs. Was – The Skins are still deficient at stopping the pass.

RGIII vs. NYG – He’s been on fire lately, with back to back 4 TD games.

Peyton Manning vs. TB – 300 yards with 2-3 TDs against this secondary is likely.

The Rest

Tony Romo vs. Phi – The Eagles have thrown in the towel this year, especially on D.

Matt Stafford vs. Ind – Stafford’s had a lot of success vs. AFC teams. He could be in store for a big effort vs. Indy.

Andy Dalton vs. SD – Continue with the hot passer – even on the road.

Andrew Luck vs Det – Expect 20-25 fantasy points vs. the porous Lions pass D.

Colin Kaepernick vs. Stl – He’s a fantasy sleeper who could surprise with his arm and legs in St. Louis.

Carson Palmer vs. Cle – Last week was a letdown, but he’ll bounce back here.

Philip Rivers vs. Cin – It’s a home game, which is where Rivers is at his best. He’s a low No. 1 heading into the final week before playoffs.

Josh Freeman vs. Den – He should hit 20 fantasy points this week, which has been around his average of late.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. NYG – Rodgers is hitting on all cylinders and the Giants were giving up an awful lot of big plays prior to the bye.

2. Tom Brady vs. NYJ – Although Gronkowski’s loss is big, Brady ALWAYS plays well in New York. Look for 300 yards and 3 TDs on Thursday.

3. Peyton Manning vs. KC – 300 yards and 3 TDs is a given against this pitiful D.

4. Matt Ryan vs. TB – He’s coming off a 5 INT performance vs. the Cardinals but will rebound here.

Next

Drew Brees vs. SF – The way to attack SF is through the air, which is what the Saints do best.

Matt Stafford vs. Hou – He’s been inconsistent ALL year but good the weeks after a subpar performances. This is one of those weeks and the Texans pass D is highly suspect.

Andrew Luck vs. Buf – The Bills at home are an inviting sight for Luck after last week’s debacle at New England.

The Rest

Andy Dalton vs. Oak – The Raiders are playing some of the worst defense ever.

Eli Manning vs. GB – His past month has been horrendous, but coming off the bye, look for Eli to rebound.

Tony Romo vs. Was – The Skins feature one of the worst secondaries in the NFL, but the question is can the O Line give Romo time? Look for 250 yards and 1-2 TDs.

Joe Flacco vs. SD – Flacco’s a different QB on the road.

Colin Kaepernick vs. NO – Kaepernick is an interesting fantasy sleeper and could put up 20-25 fantasy points.

RGIII vs. Dal – Look for 200 yards plus an additional 50+ on the ground to go with 1-2 TDs.

Jake Locker vs. Jax – Locker’s a 15-20 fantasy point candidate against a porous Jags D.

Carson Palmer vs. Cin – The Raiders porous D has turned Palmer into a No. 1 fantasy football QB because he’s forced to throw so much.

Matt Schaub vs. Det – The back of the Lions D is a weakness.

Russell Wilson vs. Mia – The Dolphins strength is its run D, not it’s pass D.

1. Drew Brees vs. Oak – Brees will top 400 yards with 3-4 TDs vs. one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL.

2. Aaron Rodgers vs. Det – Ditto for Rodgers. He’ll likely put up another 350 yards passing with 4 TDs.

3. Tom Brady vs. Ind – Look for Brady to torch the Colts defense with 300 yards and 3 TDs.

4. Peyton Manning vs. SD – Manning’s sensational season continues against a struggling Chargers squad.

Next

Matt Stafford vs. GB – The Packers D is banged up and will get torched by Stafford on Sunday. 300 yards and 3 TDs.

Andrew Luck vs. NE – The rookie will put up big yards and a few TDs against a horrendous Patriots pass D.

Matt Ryan vs. Arz – The Cards D is pretty good, but they won’t be able to contain the Falcons impressive passing attack.

The Rest

Cam Newton vs. TB – The Bucs secondary is hurting and short of talented CBs. Newton will top 20 fantasy football points this week.

Tony Romo vs. Cle – The Cowboys passing game is starting to click.

Carson Palmer vs. NO – Something you may not have realized in the Raiders blowout losses, is  that Palmer’s putting up quality fantasy points week in and week out.

Philip Rivers vs. Den – It’s hit or miss with Rivers. He’s a low level No. 1 starter in fantasy and can be expected to put up 15-20 points.

RGIII vs. Phi – RGIII is coming off a bye week and facing a demoralized and confused Eagles D.

Matt Schaub vs. Jax – Nothing big here, but 225 yards with 2 TDs.

Andy Dalton vs. KC – He’s coming off a 4 TD performance and facing a D that gives up a lot of big plays.

Josh Freeman vs. Car – Freeman will throw for 2 TDs and reach 20 fantasy points this week.

1. Tom Brady vs. Buf – Coming off the bye week, Brady will light up the Bills secondary to the tune of 300+ yards and 3 TDs.

3. Drew Brees vs. Atl – He always lights up the Falcons.

4. Peyton Manning vs. Car – Expect Manning to continue his hot hand with a 300 yard day and 2-3 TDs.

Next

Matt Stafford vs. Min – Look for Stafford to find the end zone 2-3 times this week.

Andrew Luck vs. Jax – Ride the hot hand? Luck should top 250 yards with a few TDs on Thursday Night.

Eli Manning vs. Cin – The Giants offense has been in a slump but look for Eli to get them back on track this week. Cincinnati has coverage issues.

The Rest

Philip Rivers vs. TB – The Bucs pass D is horrible and Rivers should break out with 2-3 TDs this week.

Cam Newton vs. Den – Newton’s a low level No. 1 and will be a threat on the ground and through the air.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. KC – His yardage might not get too high if they jump to a large lead. Look for 2 passing TDs.

Josh Freeman vs. SD – Go with another with the hot hand. Look for Freeman to test San Diego’s secondary all afternoon and hit 20 fantasy points.

Tony Romo vs. Phi – The Eagles pass defense is a mess.

Joe Flacco vs. Oak – The Raiders secondary is horrible.

Andy Dalton vs. NYG – While he may turn the ball over a few times, he’ll also top 250 yards with 2 TDs vs. the Giants secondary.

Ryan Tannehill vs. Ten – He’s a fantasy sleeper if your No. 1 is out. The Titans pass D is an inviting match-up.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. NE – Fitzpatrick will likely be able to pad stats in garbage time this week.

Carson Palmer vs. Bal  - Palmer will likely be in pass mode all day against a defense that surrenders a lot of yards.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Arz – Rodgers will also have WR Jordy Nelson back and throw all over the Cardinals. Look for 300+ yards and 3-4 TDs.

2. Peyton Manning vs. Cin – Manning is on a roll and will throw for 300 yards and 3 TDs vs. the Bengals.

3. Drew Brees vs. Phi – The Eagles pass D is VERY suspect. Brees bounces back at home.

Next

Eli Manning vs. Pit – Eli will get back on track with 250+ yards and 3 TDs vs. the Steelers.

RGIII vs. Car – The Panthers present a very intriguing match-up for RGIII. Look for 300 total yards with 2-3 TDs.

Cam Newton vs. Was – The Skins pass D ranks among the worst pass defenses in the NFL.

The Rest

Ben Roethlisberger vs. NYG – The Giants pass D has surrendered a lot of yards through the air.

Matt Ryan vs. Dal – The Cowboys pass D is stout, but Ryan will find the end zone at least twice.

Joe Flacco vs. Cle – A week off for the bye should help this passing offense get back on track.

Matt Schaub vs. Buf – Schaub will top 225 yards with 2-3 TDs vs. the pass friendly Bills D.

Tony Romo vs. Atl – The turnovers are disconcerting, but the Falcons pass D can be beat and the Cowboys receivers have the advantage here.

Philip Rivers vs. KC – He’s now a low No. 1 fantasy football QB and working his way out of must play each week. This is a good play however and Rivers will top 200 yards with 2 TDs.

Michael Vick vs. NO – He’ll surely lose his job if he can’t produce this week. The Saints are among the worst defenses in the league.

Jay Cutler vs. Ten – Cutler will top 225 with 2-3 TDs vs. a porous Titans pass D.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Jax – Rodgers is on a roll and will roll the Jaguars secondary. Look for 300 yards and 3 TDs.

2. Peyton Manning vs. NO – The Saints pass defense is horrible. 300 yards with 3 TDs.

3. Drew Brees vs. Den – 300 yards for Brees is almost always a given in that offense. Look for 2-3 TDs too.

4. Eli Manning vs. Dal – The Cowboys pass D is tough, but Eli is playing at a much higher level than Week 1, and has more help around him.

Next

Tom Brady vs. Stl. – Brady and the passing game will overwhelm the Rams defense on Sunday.

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Was – The Skins pass defense is its weakness.

Matt Ryan vs. Atl – The Falcons passing game will overmatch the Eagles secondary. Ryan will top 250 yards with 2-3 TDs.

The Rest

Philip Rivers vs. Cle – Rivers is coming off a 6 turnover game but will bounce back vs. the Browns here.

Jay Cutler vs. Car – The Panthers just put another DB (Chris Gamble) on IR and will give up yards and TDs to Cutler.

Tony Romo vs. NYG – He’s been hot vs. the Giants in recent years but look for 15-20 fantasy points tops this week.

RGIII vs. Pit – He’s a major weapon on the ground or throwing the ball and should hit 25 fantasy points with S Troy Polamalu still out.

Christian Ponder vs. TB – If your starter is out, he’s not a terrible fantasy sleeper play. The Bucs secondary has coverage issues with CB Aqib Talib out.

Matt Hasselback vs. Ind – Hasselback will throw for 250 yards with 2 TDs in a favorable matchup.

Andrew Luck vs. Ten – The Titans secondary is weak too.

Michael Vick vs. Atl – The Falcons DBs present a favorable matchup as Vick faces his former team.

Sam Bradford vs. NE – The Patriots pass D has surrendered a lot of yards recently. Bradford’s a solid fantasy sleeper this week.

Russell Wilson vs. Det – The Lions pass D can be exposed,  which is what Wilson and Co. will do in Week 8.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Stl. – A 50 point fantasy football effort will tend to put you back atop the list.

2. Eli Manning vs. Was = Nicks is back and the Skins can’t defend the pass. Look for Eli to top 300 yards with 3 TDs.

3. Tom Brady vs. NYJ – Rex will find out that the Pats passing game is a bit more sound than the Colts. 300 yards and 3 TDs.

4. Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cin – Big Ben will top 300 yards with 3 TDs against a porous pass D.

Next

Tony Romo vs. Car – The Panthers D is a welcome sight to Romo and Co.

Drew Brees vs. TB – The Bucs are improved, but Brees will get his. Look for 275 yards with 2 TDs.

Jay Cutler vs. Det – The Bears passing game has the advantage in this match-up against an underwhelming secondary.

The Rest

RGIII vs. NYG – This is a tougher match-up but RGIII’s legs could factor on Sunday.

Cam Newton vs. Dal – This is also a tough match-up but if CB Morris Claiborne is out it will help Cam tremendously.

Joe Flacco vs. Hou – The injuries to the Ravens’ D will force the Ravens to pass more. Flacco will answer the call this week.

Matt Schaub vs. Bal – He’s a low level fantasy No. 1 this week but will take advantage of a ravaged Ravens D to hit 250 yards and 2 TDs.

Andrew Luck vs. Cle – Luck is a good fantasy sleeper this week against a poor Browns pass D.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Ten – The Titans don’t cover well at all. Fitzpatrick will have a strong fantasy game this week.

Andy Dalton vs. Pit-  So long as Polamalu is out, the Steelers D is ordinary.

Matt Hasselback vs. Buf – Only recommended if your No. 1 is on a bye week, but Hasselback should toss a few TDs in Buffalo.

1. Aaron Rodgers vs. Ind – The Colts D doesn’t stop anyone through the air.

2. Tom Brady vs. Den – The Broncos defensive weakness is the back of it.

3. Drew Brees vs. SD – Even though the Saints are winless, Brees is putting up big-time fantasy stats again. He’ll top 300 yards with 3 TDs.

4. Eli Manning vs. Cle – Manning will toy with the depleted Browns secondary.

Next

Philip Rivers vs. NO – The Saints can’t stop the pass. Rivers will have a BIG day through the air.

Joe Flacco vs. KC – Flacco has become a legit No. 1 fantasy football QB. Look for another strong day through the air vs. the Chiefs.

Matt Ryan vs. Was – The Skins secondary is a very giving unit. Ryan will top 300 yards with multiple TDs.

The Rest

RGIII vs. Atl – He’ll hurt Atlanta with his feet and arm and top 20 fantasy points.

Andy Dalton vs. Mia – Dalton’s quietly becoming a No. 1 option in fantasy. Look for another strong game this week.

Cam Newton vs. Sea – This is not a great match-up, but Cam’s a must start due to his ability running the ball.

Jay Cutler vs. Jax – Cutler’s a low level No. 1 this week against a Jags D that can be burnt in the secondary.

Ryan Tannehill vs. Cin – We don’t normally endorse a rookie starter, but if your No. 1 option is on a bye week, this is a good match-up against a Bengals secondary which has some coverage  issues.

Andrew Luck vs. GB – The Colts will likely be climbing an uphill battle all afternoon meaning Luck should put up solid yardage with a TD or tw0.
