If daybreak happens each morning when you awake, chances are that tonight when you close your eyes, you can count on one thing to happen when you open them. Absolute reliability.
When Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez retires, he will be a first-ballot and the greatest of all-time at his position. Whenever that is. The 6' 5" tight end is showing no signs of slowing as he dominates defenders nearly twenty years his junior.
Gonzalez was the top-performing player in Fantasy in week four as Atlanta suffered a 30-23 loss to the New England Patriots Sunday in the Georgia Dome.
The California Golden Bear never quit as he caught 12 passes of 14 targets for 149 receiving yards and two touchdowns on the Pats linebackers and safeties. His illumination was in a losing effort, but daybreak cometh.
Byes: Minnesota, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay, Washington
QB
Eli Manning (NYG vs Phi) The Eagles give up 325 passing yards per game, which is second-most in the NFL through four weeks.
Joe Flacco (Bal @ Mia) Although Miami has a solid defense, they yield nearly 300 passing ypg (21st in the NFL).
Terrelle Pryor (Oak vs SD) The Chargers' opposing quarterback rating is 108.9. This should be enough for start if your QB is on bye.
RB
Daryl Richardson (StL vs Jac) The Jaguars are giving up 165 ypg on the ground this season, the league's worst.
Willis McGahee (Cle vs Buf) Buffalo has given up six running plays of twenty yards or more this season. Cleveland should break a couple of big plays on the ground Thursday night.
David Wilson (NYG vs Phi) Wilson will get plenty of touches at home against an Eagles defensive unit that's 26th in the NFL (121.8 rush ypg) versus the run.
WR
Josh Gordon (Cle vs Buf) Gordon is clearly the best receiver on his team, taking on a bottom-ten defense against receivers.
James Jones (GB vs Det) With receivers Randall Cobb and Jordy Nelson demanding double-team looks, Jones should get a few one-on-one opportunities.
Tavon Austin (StL vs Jac) During an early bye week, any wide out is worth a play against Jacksonville.
TE
Scott Chandler (Buf @ Cle) Cleveland's defense is strong, especially in the secondary. This should free up targets for Chandler, possibly in the red zone.
Kellen Winslow (NYJ @ Atl) Rookie QB Geno Smith has developed some chemistry with the veteran tight end from Miami.
Charles Clay (Mia vs Bal) Clay has twenty receptions and 245 yards, which is 4th in the league among TE's.
