It has been proven that the reason birds seem to glide through the sky so easily is because of hollow bones. Apparently dreadlocks don't weigh Cardinals (3-6) All-Pro receiver Larry Fitzgerald down the least bit. With the replacement John Skelton at quarterback, the Pitt alumnus recorded his best game of the season with seven catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns on the often confused 'collection of talent', Eagles' (3-6) defense, by the score of 21-17. Cardinals are considerably smaller and more maneuverable than the much larger eagle and proved to be ever-elusive on Sunday in Philadelphia.

Byes: Houston, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Pittsburgh

Alex Smith (SF vs Ari) The former #1 draft pick is gradually gaining composure and statistical momentum with every game. This week Smith is at home against Arizona. "...fish in a barrel".

Sam Bradford (StL vs Sea) With a run defense just outside the top ten (12th), Seattle will see plenty of balls in the air late Sunday afternoon in St. Louis. Bradford has no choice but to fit as a decent QB if your main guy is on a bye.

Josh Freeman (TB @ GB) The Kansas State graduate is having a tough year with only nine touchdowns and thirteen interceptions. Green Bay's pass defense (31st) should delay his 2011 depression.

Marshawn Lynch (Sea @ StL) Lynch has 55 carries for 244 rushing yards with two touchdowns in the last two games against two of the stingiest run defenses in the NFL (Dallas an Baltimore).

Maurice Morris (Det vs Car) With Jahvid Best still in his loopy state, Morris will be facing a defense that allows 137.6 (28th) rushing yards per game.

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (NE vs KC) The law firm is primed for a 134 yard performance since that's exactly how many yards Kansas City is giving up to rushers each game (26th).

Doug Baldwin (Sea @ StL) Baldwin had thirteen receptions over twenty yards, and should continue in week eleven.

Jerome Simpson (Cin @ Bal) With rookie A.J. Green injuring his knee against Pittsburgh last week, Simpson should get more attention from Andy Dalton.

Steve Breaston (KC vs NE) Against the league's worst defense versus receivers...just an idea.

Ed Dickson (Bal vs Cin) The Bengals have a top ten defense in just about every category, so Joe Flacco will need a safety valve on Sunday afternoon. Dickson to the rescue.

Aaron Hernandez (NE vs KC) It may be safe to say that everyone should get to play for New England on Monday night.

Benjamin Watson (Cle vs Jac) One might think that Cleveland should get in the red zone against the Jags, even if they are fifth in the NFL against air attacks.
