I agree on Nicks...I think he'll have a huge game.

MJD will go bananas. 4 total TDs

Greg Jennings. A top talent in the league that has yet to get going. He's coming out of the bye, has a chip on his shoulder, an upgrade (I think) on the O line, and plays the Lions.

I was going to say the same thing.Usually when star players complain publicly about not getting the ball, they get the ball. A lot.

Steve Smith, Randy Moss and Jennings are three elite talents who have struggled early; and all face shoddy pass D's.
I think that trio serves up a big helping of "Remember us" this week.

Wow, real bold predictions here.
I will say Keenan Burton. Donnie Avery sucks. The Jags pass defense is awful. I think with Bulger back, the passing game will be a bit better. And Burton has had plenty of opportunities in the passing game, but Boller couldn't get him the ball.

I think you will see Wes Welker break out in a big way after that tough loss in Denver. A home tilt with the Titans just might do the trick!

Dennis Northcutt in PPR leagues if Calvin sits as expected.

Interesting. I picked up Bryant Johnson for the same reason. Northcutt seems like a safe bet for 4-6 catches, but Johnson could surprise with some nice numbers and at least one score (7-85-1).

Probably...since Im benching his behind this week.Im going with....Ryan Grant. Kind of a homer pick...but I think GB wants to take more pressure off of the QB. They started getting GRant the ball on screens and draws agaisnt Minny and they know they need to slow down the pass rush. And no better time to get an RB going than playing against Detroit this week.cheese said:

The concerns I have about Holt are Sims-Walker's return (Holt's numbers haven't been great with Sims-Walker in the starting lineup) and the possibility MJD runs all over the Rams and takes all the scores from the passing game.

I think Johnson has more upside but Culpepper really locked in on Northcutt last week after Calvin went out. Northcutt's a solid guy who runs good routes and has good hands. I could see Johnson hitting a home run play with Northcutt ending up with more receptions. That's why I put him down primarily for PPR league owners.

Reggie Bush, 2 TDs, well over 100 yards offense.

I think Leon Washington finally breaks a long one this week. He's due!
Sammy B

Felt so strong about this LAST week. Gonna have to keep him on the bench until he starts producing.
You are probably right about Walter - because I am benching him for Burleson.
Hopefully, but I think its Driver. I read somewhere, but dont have time to find link, that GB is working this week on short quick passes to try to keep Rodgers numbers from being permanantly inbedded in the turf. If this is true, then I see more Driver on short crossing patterns and quick outs than Jennings on the long ball.zamboni said:

Mike Bell ... just a hunch.
ChuckLiddell

I like this one. He got a decent amount of looks last week with Cotchery playing sparingly. If Cotchery is out this week, he could be the week 6 breakout WR. I think Braylon will get a lot of defensive attention, leaving the WR2 in man coverage often - and Clowney can fly. At least he can in preseason games.

In recent memory, Culpepper two years ago, Raiders vs Dolphins. 2 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs.I certainly don't think it happens more often than "breakouts" against non-former teams, so it is more myth than trend.I would hope that if you're a starter in the NFL, you put forth your best effort no matter who you are playing. I'm sure that's not true for everyone though.

Ryan Grant. Green Bay gets Clifton back, and they have to keep Rodgers healthy. They get Grant going in the first quarter to set up play action.

I don't see Culpepper's performance against those Dolphins as anything extraordinary. They were absolutely awful that year. It wasn't as if he was demolishing a decent team. He was playing hard because that's what he was paid to do. He had similar games with the Vikings and they were not vendetta games.

Heap
from PFW...
Todd Heap — There's nothing particularly intriguing about Heap, a run-of-the-mill tight end. But have you noticed what opposing TEs have been doing to the Vikings this season? Vernon Davis lit them up for 96 yards and two TDs. Jermichael Finley torched them for 128 yards and a TD. Robert Royal (who?) got them for 60 yards and a TD. Even the lowly Rams got into the act against Minnesota last week, with TEs Randy McMichael and Daniel Fells combining for eight catches and 90 yards. As dominant as the undefeated Vikes have been, they seem incapable of defending tight ends. That's why Heap is the No. 3 tight end in this week's fantasy rankings, behind only Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez. In Todd we trust.

Sorry, but that is not true. I am a Dolphin fan and Daunte even came out after the game and said it meant more to him. He said he was really hopeful to show them how good he was. He even over-celebrated on a TD and got a penalty, iirc.

Sure it was.He was playing on the RAIDERS and had 5 TDs in one game.That's almost enough to make me believe in a higher power.

I've read that they are trying to get Olsen the ball more. I think he's going to get moving here and we've seen glimpses. I don't think Cutler has the weapons he had in Denver, but he's got a poor man's Royal in Knox and a Scheffler type TE in Olsen so I think he'll be fine here on out.

I think Leon Johnson will be a solid option this week in PPR leagues.

I think that's pretty much how these threads go...but I personally name guys NOT on my roster. I agreed w/ the OP's Nicks suggestion, and I do not own him. In fact, it pains me to think Nicks will explode since I own Steve Smith (NYG)
