Last week was a pretty good week, I went 7-3 in the Play them and 4-3 in the Bench them.\u00a0 Each week I review players who are ranked outside the top 10 for QB’s and TE’s and top 20 for WR’s in the weekly ESPN rankings.\u00a0 This will show you who I think will flourish and who will disappoint this upcoming week. \u00a0I do not review those ranked higher since they are probably highly drafted and unable to be benched. You could also use some of these player rankings to help your chances with an NFL Parlay<\/a>.\u00a0 Let\u2019s get to this week:<\/p>\n

Play Them<\/h2>\n

Eli Manning (13)<\/strong> \u2013 Much was lost in the Manning explosion but the Denver pass defense was shaky at best, Eli and company at home should have a great day especially with the RB situation.<\/p>\n

Carson Palmer (18)<\/strong> \u2013 He looked solid against the Rams and gets a shaky Lions pass defense.<\/p>\n

DeAngelo Williams (25)<\/strong> \u2013 He had over 100 yards and 20 touches and gets a Bills defense that was getting torched on the ground until all the fumbles.<\/p>\n

Ronnie Hillman (48)<\/strong> \u2013 Fox came out and called Hillman their most explosive talent at RB, with his match up, he should get you 10 points.<\/p>\n

Julian Edelman (20)<\/strong>– He will be Brady\u2019s #1 target and should have a quality WR2 type of game, start him without worrying.<\/p>\n

Cecil Shorts (24)<\/strong> \u2013 He had a quiet game but did get 11 targets and now Henne is at QB who he shined with last year.<\/p>\n

Dwayne Bowe (25)<\/strong> \u2013 The Giants receivers were running free and this week Bowe is licking his chops,<\/p>\n

Mike Williams (26)<\/strong> \u2013 The Saints leaky pass defense should be a joy for the Bucs receivers this week.<\/p>\n

Golden Tate (41)<\/strong>– The 49ers defense always starting against the run but somewhat shaky last week in the secondary.<\/p>\n

Brandon Myers (11)<\/strong> \u2013 The Ravens tight ends ran free last week and Myers had a nice game so I would expect a top 8 day.<\/p>\n

Bench Them<\/h2>\n

Tony Romo (12)<\/strong> \u2013 He is banged up, on the road and facing a tough secondary, I expect a few turnovers.<\/p>\n

Frank Gore (20)<\/strong>– There are a very few amount of RB\u2019s,\u00a0 I would play at Seattle and Gore is not one of them.<\/p>\n

Lamar Miller (22)<\/strong>– I did not like what I saw out of him as well as Thomas getting the goal line touches.<\/p>\n

BenJarvus Green Ellis (28)<\/strong> \u2013 He looked slow, was successful on only 1\/3 goal line touches and now gets a great Pittsburgh run defense.<\/p>\n

Antonio Brown (23)<\/strong> \u2013 He had a solid 1st<\/sup> game but in non PPR league does not get enough yards nor TD\u2019s to warrant a start against a tough pass defense at home.<\/p>\n

Torrey Smith (29)<\/strong> \u2013 Joe Haden shut down Wallace last week and gets a similar receiver this week and I am expecting the same.<\/p>\n

Roddy White (32)<\/strong> \u2013 He was a decoy last week with his high ankle sprain and an injury that continues to linger.<\/p>\n

Greg Jennings (36)<\/strong> \u2013 His QB makes him unplayable especially on the road in Chicago.<\/p>\n

Kyle Rudolph (14)<\/strong>– He has the same issue as Jennings, there are better options out there for this week.<\/p>\n
