11: He is off to a great start and gets the Falcons who were ripped up through the pass last week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"xAhWEz\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Baltimore Ravens QB Joe Flacco-QB 14: He looked a little rusty but had a nice deep connection with Mike Wallace, the Browns defense is a go against every week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"ZR4yze\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan QB 17: Ryan is historically a great September QB plus the Raiders pass defense leaves alot to be desired.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 id=\"Mhm2wF\"><span class=\"author-2986\">RBs<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"BrV5hZ\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New York Giants RB Rashad Jennings RB 18: There is no threat behind him and the Saints are still awful.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"YTICls\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount RB 23: The Patriots are going more conservative and I can see him continuing to get 20 touches a game for the next few weeks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"CYjGcm\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Seattle Seahwks RB Thomas Rawls RB 26: Pete Carroll came out and said he is the RB1 and gets the shaky Rams defense.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 id=\"ebBuH5\"><span class=\"author-2986\">WRs<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"tS80O2\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New York Jets WR Eric Decker WR 18: I can see the Jets getting the ball back to their big dawgs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"B0gFDe\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd WR 28: He may be the most underrated WR in the NFL, all he does is produce week in and week out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"7IrDmJ\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Oakland Raiders WR Michael Crabtree WR 33: In what should be a high scoring game, I expect at least 10 targets which is all you can ask from a WR3<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 id=\"NQ8Vxe\"><span class=\"author-2986\">TEs<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"qyuWiw\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Chicago Bears TE Zach Miller TE 13: He is a favorite fo Jay Cutler and based on their slow start, I expect a ton of targets.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"lok3Su\"><span class=\"author-2986\">K<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"fcr7aW\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Pittsburgh Steelers K Chris Boswell K 13: Last year he was the second best kicker and is a bargain down this

where they usually struggle in Minnesota.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"DlON7H\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees QB 4: While he usually rips it up at home, onthe road is a different story and the Giants look vastly improved on that side of the ball.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"DQ9Sx9\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Indianpolis Colts QB Andrew Luck QB 11: I would not want to go against tge Broncos defense in Denver.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 id=\"2qWEuf\"><span class=\"author-2986\">RBs<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"MqrOSG\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Los Angeles Rams RB Todd Gurley RB 11: The conbination of the opponent and the horrific Rams offense makes playing him a huge gamble every week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"xEXpqY\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Stewart RB 15: He looked a tad slow last week and is banged up as well, I can see a blowout and him getting a rest this week.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"F4Qwb0\"><span class=\"author-2986\">San Francisco 49ers RB Carlos Hyde RB 21: He now goes on the road against a real top 5 defense, no thank you.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5 id=\"L9x1yi\"><span class=\"author-2986\">WRs<\/span><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"EvGXH9\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New Orleans Saints WR Brandin Cooks WR 10: He did have one huge play last week but now faces a better defense on the road.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"crNl7E\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins WR 17: He is not 100% healthy nor is this offense.<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"R9hLt4\"><span class=\"author-2986\">Philadelphia Eagles WR Jordan Mathews WR 23: I expect the road to be an issue for the rookie QB.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"QdjRRl\"><strong class=\"author-2986\">TE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"L9NdeC\"><span class=\"author-2986\">New Orleans Saints TE Coby Fleener TE 9: He looked lost last week, that will continue this week on the
