While some pack lunches for beloved children and spouses and others pack suitcases and duffel bags, a select few packed their respective psyches with hopes of winning last week against those who had Aaron Rodgers on their Fantasy rosters. Rodgers just packed touchdowns on Monday night in Houston. Six to be exact. The Cal Bear added seventeen rushing to 338 passing yards without an interception on his way to a 42-24 victory, handing the Texans their first loss of the season. The Green Bay Packers (3-3) finish their three-game road trip at St. Louis (3-3) on Sunday afternoon. Pack light, perhaps.
Byes: Atlanta, Denver, Kansas City, Miami, Philadelphia, San Diego
QB
Matt Hasselbeck (Ten @ Buf) Hasselbeck will be on the road in a potential shootout between two teams that rank in the bottom half on the league in pass defense.
John Skelton (Ari @ Min) Although Skelton will be facing a top ten pass defense on the road, there is something enigmatic about the Forham graduate--wide receiver #11.
Carson Palmer (Oak vs Jac) The Former #1 pick had the 4th most passing-yard performance in Atlanta last week. He's at home with a struggling D-Mac against the Jags, who allow 261 passing ypg (23rd).
RB
Chris Johnson (Ten @ Buf) After this week CJ will no longer be a sleeper, running against the worst run defense in the NFL (173.5 ypg) with so many running backs on bye.
Daryl Richardson (StL vs GB) The rookie from Abilene Christian is nearly at a 50% timeshare with aging, hobbled Steven Jackson.
Felix Jones (Dal @ Car) With starter DeMarco Murray out with injury, Jones should get plenty of touches against a Panther defense that allows 127.4 rushing yards per contest.
WR
Devery Henderson (NO @ TB) Two reasons: The Saints have quite a few injuries at receiver and tight end. The Bucs are 31st of 32 teams in receiving defense through six games.
James Jones (GB @ STL) As long as Greg Jennings has a nagging groin injury, Jones should get plenty of targets. Jones scored twice Monday night.
Brandon Gibson (StL vs GB) Danny Amendola is rumored to be back November 11 against San Francisco. Until then, Gibson is better than nothing.
TE
Kyle Rudolph (Min vs Ari) With 25 receptions, the Notre Dame alum has posted double-figure games five of six games with just as many touchdowns this season.
Heath Miller (Pit @ Cin) Miller is Big Ben's security blanket against a mid-grade Bengals defense (17th receiving ranking).
Greg Olsen (Car vs Dal) Olsen looks to be the most consistent alternative to Steve Smith as Cam Newton struggles in his second NFL season.
