Austin Collie- Looks like he will get 1 more week with no Gonzo. Gets to face a HOU secondary and this should be a high scoring affair. Makes for a good WR3 play.

Projection:5 rec 60 yds

Johnny Knox- They face ARI this week and they are ranked towards the bottom in pass yds allowed. I feel Knox will cause matchup problems this week with his speed. The o-coordinator has said he will scale down on the plays given to Cutler. Lets hope this makes for a big day for Cutler and his offensive weapons. Im sure many Olsen owners are wondering where this breakout season is that was expected of him.

Projection: 4 rec 50 yds

Steve Breaston- With news that Anquan may be held back this week, Breaston would become a reliable WR2.

Projection: 5 rec 65 yds

Fred Davis- Im not on the hype train as much as the rest of you guys are. Only because Campbell is still the QB. Sure, Campbell looked his way often when Cooley went out. Lets not forget this guy is capable of posting 100 pass yd games as he is 300 pass yd games. A low end TE for now and nothing more than a bye filler

Projection: 4 rec 40 yds

Ryan Grant- He is still a matchup play in shallow leagues but he gets another intriguing matchup. I recommended him when he faced CLE and tore them a new something. Faces TB this week the 3rd worst rush D in the league. On average, they give up 162 rush yds. Expect a big day from Grant

Projection: 120 rush yds and 1 TD

Antonio Bryant: Should be owned in most deep leagues and only a matchup play in 12 team leagues. I expect TB to go to the pass early and often. This means Bryant should get plenty of targets in this one.

Projection: 5 rec 50 yds

Laurence Maroney- He has decent career #'s vs MIA. He averages 75 yds and a TD. I would use him as a RB3.

Projections: Those career #'s sound about right although I am unsure of the TD

Bobby Wade- Very good matchup vs JAX this week. JAX has one of the worst pass D's in the league. Cassel should have his best game as a Chief. Wade is just a low end WR3.

Projection: 5 rec 55 yds

TJ Whosyermama-I see plenty of people cutting bait on this guy. But he faces DET this week. If he cant post a top notch game vs them than I would consider cutting bait. I feel he gets back on track in this one. It seems like he is just a matchup play in shallow leagues but that could change. Look at his schedule the next 4-5 weeks: After DET, its ARI, Minny, St. Louis, San Fran, HOU, TB. Pretty nice schedule with the exception of Minny. Id hold onto him.

Projection: 6 rec 80 yds

Malcolm Floyd- This guy has cemented the WR2 job in SD. I wish he would get more catches but makes for a nice WR3.

Projection: 4 rec 50 yds

Hakeem Nicks- If Manningham is still out, Nicks becomes the big play WR.

Projection: 5 rec 65 yds

Felix Jones-I like him as a RB 3 this week. As he gets more games to wear off the rust, he should be back in being a reliable RB3.

Projection: 55 rush yds and a few grabs

Mike Wallace-He has been a consistent WR3 the last 3-4 weeks. He is putting up around 6+ fantasy pts and thats ok for deep leagues. They like to use him as a deep threat and try the deep ball to him a few times a game.

Projection: 4 rec 50 yds

Chad Henne- A big divisional game vs the Pats this week. I think MIA will keep it close but that 4th quarter will be important. If they can win that quarter they should be ok. Expect the Pats to stack the box vs Brown and Ricky. Forcing the young QB to beat them

Projection: 200 yds 1 Td

Ryan Moats- Im not sure what to think of this guy. I mean he is a journeyman and I have no faith that he can repeat last weeks performance on a regular basis. I am also a Slaton owner so I feel for you guys. In fact, I own him in 2 out of my 3 money leagues. Slaton should play with a fire under his ### and I see him regaining the full time job in a few weeks. Lets hope Moats proves that he is a fluke

Projection: 40-50 rush yds

Couple more to add to the list:

Jamaal Charles-Debuts vs JAX this week. The same rush D that got ripped to shreds by CJ last week. They are in the bottom 8 of the league allowing around 130 rush yds per week.

Projection:Easily 100 yds in his starting role

Mendenhall-I think he gets back on track vs Den. I mean he has to or he will be back to splitting carries with the great Willie Parker

Projection-80 rush yds

Mo Morris- Deep option but theres talk in DET that Mo could get more carries. Dont expect much more than 10-12 carries. But just an option in deep leagues

Projection: 45 rush yds

Keep an eye on: Forsett, I wouldnt start him this week but just stash him if you have the room
