Torched

Mostly everyone expected Green Bay to rumble into Lucas Oil Stadium and dismantle the Indianapolis Colts. Apparently, veteran receiver Reggie Wayne and his youthful cohorts knew otherwise. The former Miami Hurricane's 13-catch, 212-yard performance was paramount to the 30-27 victory over the sub par Packer defense Sunday afternoon in the dome. Wayne's career single-game output was capped off with a spectacular touchdown grab that put the Colts ahead with 35 seconds left in the fourth quarter. His celebratory drink of choice -- Fountain of Youth juice.

Byes: Carolina, Chicago, Jacksonville, New Orleans

 

QB

Andy Dalton (Cin @ Cle) No sophomore jinx for the red bandit, especially playing against the 6th worst pass defense in the NFL.

Brady Quinn (KC @ TB) With Matt Cassel's status uncertain, Quinn or anyone who has seen the Bucs' secondary (worst pass defense in the NFL) on the field should have no trouble in Tampa.

Sam Bradford (StL @ Mia) Lining up across from the 27-ranked pass defense in the league should serve as an antibiotic for a struggling young quarterback.

RB

BenJarvus Green-Ellis (Cin @ Cle) The law firm will certainly be Fantasy-worthy against the 26th-ranked defense versus the run, averaging 142.4 ypg.

LaRod Stephens-Howling (Ari vs Buf) Although the Cardinals haven't prove they can run block thus far, they're matching up against the 30th-ranked (171.8 rushing ypg) run defense.

Vick Ballard (Ind @ NYJ) Don't look for the rookie form Mississippi State to get 100 rushing yards, but he'll get plenty of carries against the second-worst run defense with Donald Brown hobbled with injury.

WR

Brandon Gibson (StL @ Mia) The Dolphins give up 300.6 receiving yards per game (30th). Gibson is pushed to WR depth chart forefront with Danny Amendola injured. Enough said.

Denarius Moore (Oak @ Atl) Oakland will be forced to pass on Sunday to attempt to catch up in the Georgia Dome. Moore should benefit.

Andre Roberts (Ari vs Buf) Roberts is averaging nearly 13 points per game in ppr leagues, playing against the 26th-ranked receiving defense.

TE

Heath Miller (Pit @ Ten) Miller is currently tied for the most touchdown catches in the NFL, so red zone looks go to him first.

Dennis Pitta (Bal vs Dal) Pitta should get plenty of looks down the middle against a top-ranked Cowboys defense against air attacks.

Fred Davis (Was vs Min) Davis has yet to score, but should be Fantasy-worthy with 20 receptions this season for those with tight ends on bye.
