Must Start

Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck and Matthew Stafford

Tier 1

Ben Roethlisbger vs. Atl – Roethlisberger and Co. will light up the Falcons secondary.

Tom Brady vs. Mia – Brady will top 250 yards with 2-3 TDs.

Aaron Rodgers vs. Buf – This is a trickier matchup. The Bills D is tough – especially at home.

Philip Rivers vs. Den – Expect 22-25 FFL points vs. the Broncos.

Tony Romo vs. Phi – Look for a bounce back from the last performance against the Eagles.

Cam Newton vs. TB – Newton is coming off a monster performance and faces a healthy matchup here.

Drew Brees vs. Chi – Brees threw in a stinker in Week 14. The Bears D is poor.

Jay Cutler vs. No – Only because the Saints D is just as bad.

Tier 2

Eli Manning vs. Was -Manning will hit 13-17 FFL points against the Skins.

Mark Sanchez vs. Dal – The Cowboys D is winded. Sanchez will put up 3 TDs and 225 yards against this unit.

Russell Wilson vs. SF – The 49ers are done. Expect Wilson to put up between 15-17 points.

Bust

Ryan Tannehill vs. NE – The Patriots D will force a few turnovers.

Fantasy Sleeper

Joe Flacco vs. Jax – Jacksonville’s D is ripe to give up a lot of pass yards.

Must Start

Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Andrew Luck and Aaron Rodgers

Tier 1

Tony Romo vs. Chi – Romo will bounce back from an awful Thanksgiving performance.

Matthew Stafford vs. TB – With a healthy Calvin Johnson the Lions QB is now a 22-25 FFL point candidate.

Tom Brady vs. SD – Expect 300 yards and 3 TDs in SD.

Jay Cutler vs. Dal – The Cowboys D is suddenly tired and showing signs of wear and tear.

Russell Wilson vs. Phi – His maneuverability will be good for 20+ FFL points in Philly.

Tier 2

Ben Roethlisberger vs. Cin – Roethlisberger’s numbers are down on the road and Cincy’s D is tough at home.

Philip Rivers vs. NE – The tough Patriots pass D brings Rivers down a notch.

Fantasy Sleeper

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. Jax – Don’t expect 6 TDs but is a fantasy football sleeper against the Jags.

Bust

Mark Sanchez vs. Sea – Chip Kelly’s innovative offense will have its hands full with the Seahawks.

Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Andrew Luck

Tier 1

Tony Romo vs. NYG – He’ll feast on a Giants D that is depleted and struggling in coverage.

Tom Brady vs. Det – The Lions present a big challenge, but this is in NE and Brady is on fire.

Mark Sanchez vs. Ten – This offense suits him well.

Tier 2

Eli Manning vs. Dal – Look for Manning to top 20 FFL points against the Boys.

Colin Kaepernick vs. Was – He’ll be a threat running as well as passing.

Andy Dalton vs. Hou – Dalton will put up 15-18 FFL points.

Jay Cutler vs. TB – He will probably toss a couple of picks but he’s in line for a big afternoon.

Ryan Tannehill vs. Den – Expect 15-18 FFL points against a tough Broncos D.

Philip Rivers vs. Stl. – Rivers enjoys a solid match up here.

Fantasy Sleeper

Josh McCown vs. Chi – Expect McCown to put on a solid showing against his old compatriots.

Bust

Matt Stafford vs. NE – The Pats secondary is its strength.

1. Aaron Rodgers, GB – His injury unfortunately derailed many fantasy teams in 2013. He’ll return to the top FFL QB and has a strong complement of skill players around him, to go with a running game that keeps the offense balanced.

2. Drew Brees, NO – The high flying Saints offense will remain intact after resigning Jimmy Graham. Exciting rookie Brandon Cooks will add a vertical threat and Brees will notch between 35-40 TDs.

3. Peyton Manning, Den – The weapons are there, but they face the NFC West this year. Those are four stellar defenses and Manning will take a step back as a result.

4. Matthew Stafford, Det – Golden Tate was a nice addition to Megatron, and rookie Eric Ebron will add another threat at TE. Stafford will end a top 5 FFL QB in Caldwell’s offense.

5. Andrew Luck, WR – If Hakeem Nicks can return to form and Wayne is healthy, this is a very dangerous trio. Luck will continue to make strides towards becoming a top flight FFL QB.

6. Matt Ryan, Atl – The return of Julio Jones and a healthy Roddy White will change the outlook this year. Injuries did Ryan in a year ago.

7. Cam Newton, Car – He lost a lot at the skill positions from a year ago. Still a threat as a runner and passer, but expect a step back.

8. Tom Brady, NE – TE Rob Gronkowski’s health will determine Brady’s fate. The Pats have a lot of young talent which should take a big step forward, and Brady can still deal with the best of them.

9. Colin Kaepernick, SF – The 49ers offense is stacked, especially at WR.  Crabtree, Boldin and Johnson could be the best trio in the league, and Vernon Davis at TE is dynamic.

10. RGIII, Was – Last year was a disaster in Washington. Shanahan is gone and Jay Gruden is in. Expect the Skins to simplify some of the schemes and play to Griffin’s strengths, and look for him to finish a low No. 1 fantasy starter.

1. Aaron Rodgers, GB – The loss of Greg Jennings is bigger than most realize, but there’s plenty of talent across the skill positions for Rodgers to retain top billing in fantasy football this year. The system also plays perfectly to his strengths.

2. Drew Brees, NO - The return of Sean Payton will pay huge dividends once again for Brees. Their skill players remain intact, and they’ll have an easier schedule coming off a disappointing season.

3. Peyton Manning, Den – The addition of Wes Welker will be welcomed by Manning. The inconsistency of the running game should have Manning put the ball in the air frequently.

4. Cam Newton, Car – Unrealistic expectations and an underwhelming supporting cast affected Newton’s sophomore season. He’ll return to fantasy glory this year with a better supporting cast and another year under his belt.

5. Tom Brady, NE – There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding Brady this year. With Rob Gronkowski’s status less than certain, Aaron Hernandez gone and Wes Welker in Denver, Brady is not the shoe-in he usually is. Look for a very good season, but he might end up a few notches down in 2013.

6.  Andrew Luck, Ind – He’ll look to build off an excellent rookie season. The AFC South is nothing special with Houston being the one team with a good defense, and the Colts defense, below average, will force Luck to throw.

7. Colin Kaepernick, SF – The loss of Michael Crabtree cannot be overstated. That was Kaepernick’s go-to guy. However, Jim Harbaugh is a brilliant offensive mind and will put Kaepernick into a position to succeed. He’s a dual threat.

8. Russell Wilson, Sea - Wilson is blessed with tremendous talent around him, but could suffer a slump in year 2. Teams will have more footage on tape and NFL defenses will defend the read option better. His upside is huge, but he could disappoint depending on when you draft him.

9. Matt Ryan, Atl – Blessed with arguably the best WR duo in the league, he’ll put up numbers similar to a year ago.

10. Robert Griffin III, Was – The surgically repaired knee with take away the running threat that RGIII was a year ago, and that accounted for many fantasy points. That being said, he does have a better supporting cast and is very accurate passing, but look for a step back in his 2nd year.
