2. Phillip Rivers @ CIN
3. Matt Schaub @ DEN
4. Peyton Manning @ OAK
5. Tom Brady @ BUF
6. Drew Brees @ ATL
7. Josh Freeman vs. SEA- Great matchup this week at home against a terrible defense.
8. Matt Ryan vs. NO
9. Aaron Rodgers vs. NYG- Returns from concussion but very tough matchup even for him. Your still starting him though just don’t expect 30 plus points from him.
10. Eli Manning @ GB
11. David Garrard vs. WAS
12. Sam Bradford vs. SF- The Niners have been getting killed by the pass of late and the rookie should have a big day at home.

14. Matt Cassel vs. TEN
15. Jon Kitna @ ARI
16. Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. NE
17. Jay Cutler vs. NYJ
18. Ben Roethlisberger vs. CAR- Not a matchup I’m a huge fan of, if you have other options I’d use them as the Panthers are actually very good against the pass.
19. Jason Campbell vs. IND
20. Tim Tebow vs. HOU- Have to love anyone facing the Texans secondary and he can run.
21. Mark Sanchez @ CHI
22. Rex Grossman @ JAX

21. Pierre Garcon @ OAK
22. Malcom Floyd @ CIN
23. Mario Manningham @ GB
24. Mike Sims-Walker vs. WAS
25. Percy Harvin @ PHI- I like him a lot this week actually especially with Joe Webb under center, could make a few big plays on his own.
26. Deion Branch @ BUF
27. Santonio Holmes @ CHI- If Sanchez ends up sitting with shoulder injury then he’s a borderline start.
28. Mike Williams @ TB
29. Johnny Knox vs. NYJ
30. Derrick Mason @ CLE
31. Brandon Gibson vs. SF- I know he was held in check last week, but I expect Bradford will come back his way in this one.
32. Anthony Armstrong @ JAX
33. Joe Webb @ PHI- If he’s receiver eligible I think he makes for a decent WR3 this week.
34. Steve Breaston vs. DAL – The Cowboys are the worst team giving up points to opposing receivers, so if Skelton can have some time, then Breaston can join Fitz as a legit finals starter.
35. Michael Crabtree @ STL
36. Braylon Edwards @ CHI – See Santonio Holmes
37. Miles Austin @ ARI- Don’t like the matchup at all for him this week against Rodgers-Cromartie who has been playing great as of late.
38. Sidney Rice @ PHI
39. Lance Moore @ ATL
40. Davone Bess vs. DET- Solid flex in PPR leagues
41. Anquan Boldin @ CLE
42. Hines Ward vs. CAR
43. Josh Morgan @ STL- Has had back to back nice games, just can’t see him doing it again especially with Troy Smith under center who barely looked his way.
44. Jacoby Jones @ DEN
45. Donald Driver vs. NYG
46. Chad OchoCinco vs. SD- Only expected to be in on less than 50% of plays so keep him on benches.
