Seattle Seahawks Defense/Special Teams vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Are we out of our minds playing with the Seahawks defense? This team has accounted for negative points twice already this year and just one point in most standard leagues once as well. That’s half of its games! However, we have a lot of reasons to hate the Bengals this week and love the Seahawks. This is going to be the first mega difficult road trip for QB Andy Dalton. No matter how bad Seattle is, Qwest Field is always a horror to try to play at. On top of that, RB Cedric Benson has been suspended for this game, and the weather is expected to be horrible. Last week, the Seahawks didn’t do all that much right against the Cleveland Browns, but if the clock just runs as quickly in this game as it did in that one, we should be getting a nice sum of points from this defense for a second straight week.

Mario Manningham vs. Miami Dolphins
Most of you that drafted Manningham did so way, way too early in your drafts. He was expected to be a bit of a sleeper this year, but so far, he really has done nothing to even warrant being on a fantasy team, let alone being a starter. He only has 18 catches for the season and hasn’t had more than 56 yards in a game, nor has he scored a touchdown yet. However, this is the perfect game for him to shine. Remember that Manningham has picked up more targets in these last two games (16 in total) than he had for the rest of the season combined. He’s going against a Miami defense which ranks No. 18 in the league against opposing wide receivers. You know that the Giants’ offense is going to be on the field quite a bit, as the offense for the Dolphins just can’t stay out of its own way. We think that this is the week for Manningham to be a big time boom.

Tim Tebow vs. Detroit Lions
Last week, we called for Tebow to have a great game against the Dolphins. In fact, he had a terrible game… and a fantastic three minutes in which he accounted for nearly 20 total fantasy points and 15 points in real life. The man is going to run the ball, he is going to throw the ball, and he is going to put points on the board in some respect against a Detroit team that, quite frankly, has been very questionable these past two weeks. You just know that somehow, Tebow is going to keep this game close no matter how ugly of a ball that he throws, and in the end, that will probably translate into at least 15-20 fantasy points, making the former Heisman Trophy winner a solid start.

Owen Daniels vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Let’s get this part straight. If you have Owen Daniels, you’re starting him each and every week, unless you’re one of these wackos that is carrying two tight ends on your team and the other one happens to be named Antonio Gates or Jason Witten. However, just as we said last week with Ed Dickson, playing against the Jags with your tight end is a gold mine. The team’s Cover 2 scheme is conducive for a ton of passes right over the middle, and all three of the Texans’ tight ends might end up being great plays, especially if WR Andre Johnson ends up not playing yet again with his hamstring injury.

Dallas Cowboys Defense/Special Teams vs. St. Louis Rams
This is bad, bad news for the Rams. They have to go on the road, and they aren’t going to have a fully healthy QB Sam Bradford to show for it. Bradford has been walking around in a protective boot thanks to a high ankle sprain, and he hasn’t been practicing all that much. That being said, the team just traded for WR Brandon Lloyd, who will surely have some rust with his new team in spite of the fact that he played in the system for Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels with the Broncos last year. Parlay all of that together with the fact that Dallas blitzes like there’s no tomorrow, and the end result could be some huge fantasy points for this team defense. The Rams rank dead last in the league in fantasy offense this year, making the Cowboys an even better play than usual

Michael Bush vs. Kansas City Chiefs
We know that all eyes are going to be on RB Darren McFadden in this one, but there is a real chance that Bush could be the back to steal against the Chiefs. Kansas City ranks No. 27 in the league against fantasy rushers. With QB Carson Palmer expected to start, we know that the Raiders are going to run the ball, run the ball, and run the ball some more. Bush could find himself getting 15-20 touches in this game even if McFadden gets 20-25, but more importantly could be those goal line carries, which there might be plenty of. Look for Bush to score for the first time in three weeks and get 60 or 70 total yards as well.

Tim Tebow vs. Miami Dolphins
Let’s get this one thing straight… The Broncos aren’t winning all that many games this year if they keep Tebow under center. That being said, there’s just no way that we can avoid using him in this matchup. First off, the man is going to run like a chicken with his head cut off, and he is never going to stop. Getting 70 or 80 rushing yards isn’t out of the question, nor are two rushing touchdowns. Secondly, he’s going against a Miami defense which ranks second to last in the league against fantasy quarterbacks. And finally, it’s a day where he and his Florida Gators teammates from 2009 are going to be honored by the Dolphins. Good timing for that one, guys. Oops. It won’t quite be Denver, but it’ll feel like home for Tebow, and we think that three total touchdowns and over 250 total yards isn’t out of the question in his first game as a starter this year.

Ed Dickson vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Dickson might be a great starter on Monday Night Football this week. QB Joe Flacco is averaging looking Dickson’s way nearly nine times per game this year, and a lot of those looks are coming in the red zone. During this five game losing streak, the Jags have allowed an average of 5.6 receptions and 62.2 yards per game to opposing tight ends. Getting six points out of your tight end spot is usually a respectable number, but also remember that Jacksonville has allowed three TDs to starting tight ends in its last five games as well.

Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. New York Giants
Fitzpatrick wasn’t owned in most leagues at the start of the season, but he became a hot commodity to pick up after the first couple weeks of the season. He has had back to back games with fewer than 200 yards passing, and the emergence of RB Fred Jackson has really eaten into his touchdown production. That being said, we have to remember that last week’s matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles was a tough one for the Ivy Leaguer. He’s smart enough to know that these defensive backs are the real deal and using the ground game was the best course of moving the ball up and down the field. The Giants still don’t have a fantastic secondary, and we tend to think that Fitzpatrick is going to be in for a significantly better game. If you’re in a bye week quandary and Fitzpatrick is out there, pick him up and don’t be afraid to start him.

Sam Bradford vs. Green Bay Packers
In most standard ESPN fantasy football leagues, Bradford hasn’t even averaged 10 points per game. He only has three total touchdowns against seven turnovers. However, in this one, the former Oklahoma Sooner has a good matchup. We know that the Packers have a vaunted defense, and Bradford will surely be making his mistakes. He’ll pick up some big plays though, knowing that Green Bay just isn’t as good in the secondary as it has been in years past. Especially off of the bye week, we tend to think that Offensive Coordinator Josh McDaniels should have a great game plan for Bradford to succeed. A pair of touchdowns and 250 passing yards is the minimum that we’re expecting to see.

Harry Douglas vs. Carolina Panthers
Carolina’s defense is as shoddy as could be, and Douglas is definitely a guy that should not be ignored. Rookie WR Julio Jones is out of the lineup and WR Roddy White has been banged up as well. Douglas is almost certainly going to be the starter opposite of White, and QB Matt Ryan is probably going to form a relatively quick bond with him. The best news is that the Panthers have been stingy this year, and they aren’t going to give up in any game. That might keep the passing game going for Ryan and the crew, and if that’s the case, Douglas could really be the beneficiary.

Delone Carter vs. Cincinnati Bengals
We’ve given up in saying, “If the Colts can win this game…” because we know that they probably aren’t going to prove to be victorious. It doesn’t seem like RB Joseph Addai is going to be in the fold this week, and if that’s the case, Carter is going to be getting the call for the most part. The former Syracuse Orange tailback has proven that has the ability to get the job done when he is given the chance, and though the Bengals rank No. 11 in the league against the rush for fantasy football players, you can probably pick Carter up off of the scrap heap right now, and you might get a good game.

Kevin Walter and Jacoby Jones vs. Oakland Raiders
Someone has to be able to catch some passes from QB Matt Schaub this week, right? That being said, the Oakland secondary just doesn’t feel complete anymore without DB Nnamdi Asomugha. Sure, WR Andre Johnson isn’t in the lineup, and sure, FB James Casey and TE Owen Daniels have been stealing the show, but with a full week of preparation, we tend to think that both Walter and Jones might make for great fantasy plays at home against Oakland. Remember with Jones that you’re also getting a great return man, and you might find yourself a hidden touchdown or two.

New England Patriots D/ST vs. New York Jets
Most of you have probably cut the Pats’ defense by now after its terrible start to the season. By standard league rules, you haven’t even averaged two points per game if you have started New England. That being said, the Jets allowed the Baltimore Ravens to score three times on defense last week. Don’t think for one second that Head Coach Bill Belichick wasn’t looking at that tape and smiling. The teams that have been able to throw the ball on New England have played well on the offensive line. New York doesn’t have that luxury. C Nick Mangold might be back in the fold this week, but if he isn’t or if he isn’t totally effective, don’t be shocked if the Pats come away with four or five sacks and a few turnovers in addition to keeping the Jets to a relatively low score.

Malcom Floyd vs. Denver Broncos
Someone has to get all of the passing yards from QB Philip Rivers, right? The Broncos have a dreadful pass defense, as demonstrated last week when QB Aaron Rodgers accounted for six total touchdowns against them. And, to make matters even more sneaky for Floyd this week, he has been the top receiver that has been practicing. Both WR Vincent Jackson and TE Antonio Gates have been on the sidelines. Jackson will probably play, but the added time for Floyd is going to be fantastic for him come game time, especially if Jackson does end up hobbled at any point. We wouldn’t be surprised if this were a game that Floyd, Mike Tolbert, and potentially even Randy McMichael end up finding the end zone.

Scott Chandler vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Another tight end scored a touchdown on the Eagles last week, as TE Vernon Davis found his way to the end zone as a part of the big comeback by the San Francisco 49ers. Now, it could be Chandler’s turn to shine again. Chandler only has 11 receptions on the year, but four of those have gone for TDs. We’re not as afraid of WRs Steve Johnson and David Nelson this week, though both will get their yards. If RB Fred Jackson doesn’t have one of these three touchdown days, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Chandler get his name in the box score with a touchdown strike.

Nate Washington vs. Cleveland Browns
Washington is going to be a popular pickup this week with this being the first game that WR Kenny Britt being out of the lineup. We’re really not all that sure that QB Matt Hasselbeck has the ability to keep this up over the course of the rest of the season, but what we do know is that for the first three weeks, he has slung the ball all over the field. Washington hasn’t slacked this year, as he does have 21 catches and a TD on the season. Cleveland’s defense is probably better than those of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos, but we wouldn’t be surprised to see a dozen targets for Washington this week against the Browns on the road, especially if the Titans are trailing.

Houston Texans D/ST vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
One would think that the Texans would be a poor play this week, just as they were last week. They were worth negative points in most leagues, but we know that this could be a significantly different week against the Steelers. The Pittsburgh offense just hasn’t looked all that sharp this year, especially knowing that QB Ben Roethlisberger has only thrown one TD pass in each of his first three games. That being said, the way that you beat these Texans is by running the ball straight up the gut. Sure, Pittsburgh does that better than any team in the league, but when you’re behind, as it was against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 1, things become a heck of a lot harder. Roethlisberger and the Steelers turned it over seven times against Baltimore that week, and Big Ben felt a ton of pressure. The blitz packages for the Texans should produce a ton of sacks this week as well, and if that’s the case, we wouldn’t be surprised to see this unit put a huge number on the board for fantasy owners.

Andy Dalton and Andre Caldwell vs. Buffalo Bills
At some point, the Bills are going to lose a game, and though this doesn’t seem like the likeliest of options in the world, we know that it could be a good matchup for the hosts. Buffalo’s secondary has struggled at times this year, and though we don’t fault it for allowing so many yards and points to QB Tom Brady and company, watching QB Jason Campbell tear this secondary to shreds was a different story. Now, with WR Jerome Simpson likely not suiting in this one, Dalton is going to have to find another receiver to throw to. Caldwell had a dozen targets last week, and though he only had six catches, it was a clear sign that he is becoming one of the favored targets for the rookie to use. He could be a great red zone option as well, and at the rate that the Bills give up yards and points, that could, and should be good news for both of these Bengals.

Jacoby Jones vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
We’re heading back to that Houston/Pittsburgh game for our last fantasy sleeper of the week. The Texans are throwing the ball and throwing it a lot this week. That’s a given. After all, it takes a special, special back to run on the Steelers, and we don’t think that either RB Ben Tate or a banged up RB Arian Foster is going to be able to get the job done. Starting WR Andre Johnson is a duh statement, though the Pittsburgh secondary with DB Ike Taylor has done a respectable job against top receivers this year. It’s those second receivers that have us terrified against an otherwise weak Steelers secondary. Last week, both Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie had better weeks than Reggie Wayne. That being said, with Jones, not only are you getting another receiving option in a high powered offense, but you’re also getting a punt returner. There might be a hidden TD in there as well that you don’t normally see on the stat sheet if you get lucky.

Dexter McCluster vs. San Diego Chargers
This is a very, very popular sleeper fantasy football pick this week, especially if you’re in a PPR league. With RB Jamaal Charles out of the fold, McCluster is likely going to end up getting probably 40 percent of the carries or so, splitting the time with RB Thomas Jones. Jones has stone hands out of the backfield though, so in passing downs, you can bet that McCluster will be out there. Touchdowns are going to be scarce, save for the potential of the big play for the former Ole Miss Rebel, but McCluster is probably good for 6-8 carries, 5-6 receptions, and 70-80 yards against the Chargers, numbers that, in a PPR league, are fantastic, especially knowing that you can play him at either RB or WR in most leagues.

Mike Kafka vs. New York Giants
Obviously, check your injury report before making this start to see if QB Michael Vick is going to play or not. However, it’s hard for players that suffered concussions to come back the very next week and play, and that being said, we have to imagine that Vick is closer to being “out” than he is “probable.” Kafka is the third string quarterback, but he is the perfect signal caller for Head Coach Andy Reid. He makes smart decisions, doesn’t put himself in trouble, and he’s not afraid to check down. Those of you that have RB LeSean McCoy, especially in a PPR league, could be in a for an absolutely humongous day. However, we love all of the Eagles in this matchup, knowing that Kafka is probably going to have to throw the ball 45 times to get 300+ yards. Don’t be shocked, even if Vick doesn’t play, if Philly finds a way to still put 30+ on the board with Kafka at the helm.

David Nelson vs. New England Patriots
After getting 13 targets last week, there is no doubt that Nelson has become a via option for fantasy football sleeper picks for the foreseeable future. QB Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to have to chuck the ball all over the field, and we think that he could be in for another solid 20+ point fantasy day in standard leagues. The Pats have the 30th ranked fantasy defense against the pass, something that really has to make eyes get pretty wide open with Buffalo on the other side of the field. There’s a chance that WR Steve Johnson, the more popular of the two Buffalo wide outs will be on the bench with a groin injury, which would only further open up the offense for Nelson to get a slew of looks from Fitzpatrick. Ten grabs for 120 yards and a TD isn’t out of the question.

Jake Ballard vs. Philadelphia Eagles
All together now: Who??? Ballard is the tight end for the Giants, and he has only had three catches in his first two games. However, we became very aware last week that the Eagles could struggle against opposing tight ends, especially in the red zone. QB Eli Manning is probably going to have a number of chances in Eagles’ territory in this one, and especially if both WR Mario Manningham and WR Domenik Hixon are out of the fold, these vaunted Philly corners are going to be taking WR Hakeem Nicks out of the game. That being said, the front seven for the Eagles isn’t that swift, and keeping up with Ballard might be tough even though he isn’t exactly fleet of foot. Don’t be shocked if Ballard finds the end zone on Sunday and proves to be worth a lot more than most of your stalwart tight ends in this league, and he makes a great plug in, just in case you had TE Aaron Hernandez as your option.

Reggie Bush vs. Houston Texans
We definitely learned one thing about the Dolphins last week, and that’s that RB Reggie Bush is going to need to be used as a runner and a receiver. He may or may not get goal line carries (Lex Hilliard did last week in the one and only chance that he had on the field), but we know that against the Texans’ new 3-4 look, Bush is going to find himself a ton of open holes on the field. Especially if you’re dealing in a PPR league, Bush is a great start this week, as he might be good for a dozen receptions to go with his 40-50 rushing yards that he is sure to get against a defense that we really don’t know a heck of a lot about quite yet.

Brandon Gibson and Sam Bradford vs. New York Giants
Last week, no one was all that high on the Rams against the Eagles, but we have to remember that that Philadelphia secondary is like none other in the league. Bradford has a finger injury that we have to deal with, but with an extra day of preparation, we think that he’ll be fine. The Giants just allowed over 300 passing yards to QB Rex Grossman of the Redskins, something that should virtually never happen, and that being said, this is going to be a porous unit until some bodies start to get healthier. Gibson is going to be the primary target in all likelihood for Bradford after WR Danny Amendola went down with an elbow injury in Week 1. Don’t be shocked if these two hook up a half dozen times for over 100 yards and a TD on Monday Night Football.

Santana Moss vs. Arizona Cardinals
Moss really isn’t much of a sleeper, since he was probably a mid-round pick in your fantasy league, but with Grossman at the helm, the former Miami Hurricane is going to be the subject of a ton of targets once again. He had nine targets last week against the Giants, and this week, he is facing perhaps the only secondary in football that is as bad as the one that he faced last week. Arizona will definitely show some holes, and there isn’t a corner that can keep up what Moss’ speed, save for DB Patrick Peterson, and we wouldn’t be thrilled with the prospects of a rookie going up against a vet like Moss.

Devery Henderson vs. Chicago Bears
This is the second time that we are going to be asking one of the secondary receiving options for QB Drew Brees to do us the favor of scoring a touchdown, and we tend to think that a big week in Week 1 is just the beginning of what could be a bust out season for Henderson. The former LSU Tiger is likely to get the nod alongside WR Robert Meachem this week, and if that’s the case, though Chicago’s secondary is solid, Brees should be throwing him the ball quite a bit. Meachem and TE Jimmy Graham are both great starts this week as well.

Houston Texans Defense vs. Indianapolis Colts
This is a relatively easy choice to make this week, but for a lot different reason than you think. Sure, Indianapolis is likely going to be without QB Peyton Manning, and we know that that means trouble for the Colts’ offense. However, the Texans are switching to this new 3-4 look of Defensive Coordinator Wade Phillips, and the unit is as healthy as it has been in years. Don’t be surprised if there are just a ton of blitzes off of the corners and off of the edges, and if QB Curtis Painter is the man that is going to be throwing passes, he probably will end up getting sacked several times, especially if Indy is playing catch-up against the Texans’ potent offense.

DeAngelo Williams vs. Arizona Cardinals
It’s clear that the Panthers are going to run the heck out of the football this year, but more importantly, Arizona ranked No. 31 of the 32 teams against fantasy running backs. Williams just cashed in on a big time deal, and he is inevitably going to end up touching the ball a slew of times in this game. Will he end up getting to the end zone? That’s always the big question between he and RB Jonathan Stewart, but if you’re looking for a relatively consistent option against a bad defense this week, this is your man.

Jimmy Graham vs. Green Bay Packers
The tight end position is definitely a tough one, especially if you don’t have one of those elite tight ends that you know could be worth a gold mine. Graham has been a trendy pick over the past few weeks, and though we don’t necessarily buy into the hype for the whole season, we do buy it against the Packers. First off, it is clear that this has the ability to be a very, very high scoring game. Secondly, Green Bay ranked No. 29 in the league against tight ends last season. It’s no shock that QB Drew Brees loves using his tight ends down by the goal line, and you can bet that Graham is going to get his targets. Don’t be surprised if the former Miami Hurricane is in store for a big, big day to start the season on Thursday night.

Chad Ochocinco vs. Miami Dolphins
With WR Wes Welker facing his neck injury, someone is going to have to catch the ball over the middle for the Pats. It’s not like QB Tom Brady isn’t going to throw the ball at least 30-35 times in this one, and Ochocinco should be the subject of a lot of those targets. The Fins don’t have a fantastic secondary even though they feel as though they do, and with the ball being put up in the air so many times, some receiver has to get the targets. Many of you probably drafted Ochocinco in the middle rounds of your fantasy football draft, and he makes for a fantastic start this week on your fantasy team and for all of your NFL prop picks.
