Rankings

QB

1. Peyton Manning @ NE
2. Matthew Stafford vs TB
3. Tom Brady vs Den
4. Cam Newton @ Mia
5. Tony Romo @ NYG
6. Andrew Luck @ Ari
7. Colin Kaepernick @ Wash

11. Mike Glennon @ Det
12. Eli Manning vs Dal
13. Alex Smith vs SD
14. Josh McCown vs StL
15. Scott Tolzein vs Min

Comments: Case Keenum is a great play this week. I wouldn't worry about being benched again. I can see a multiple TD game against a very poor Jacksonville defense. The same goes for Mike Glennon in what could be a shootout in Detroit.

RB

1. Matt Forte @ StL
2. Jamaal Charles vs SD
3. Adrian Peterson @ GB
4. Zac Stacy vs Chi
5. Frank Gore @ Wash
6. Eddie Lacy vs Min
7. Andre Brown vs Dal
8. Ben Tate vs Jac
9. Knowshon Moreno @ NE
10. Alfred Morris vs SF
11. Reggie Bush vs TB
12. Rashad Jennings vs Ten
13. Chris Johnson @ Oak
14. Le'Veon Bell @ Cle
15. Demarco Murray @ NYG
16. Stevan Ridley @ Den
17. Maurice Jones-Drew @ Hou
18. Shane Vereen vs Den
19. Ray Rice vs NYJ
20. Bobby Rainey @ Det
21. Chris Ivory @ Bal
22. Ryan Mathews @ KC
23. Danny Woodhead @ KC
24. Andre Ellington vs Ind
25. Chris Ogbonnaya vs Pit
26. Donald Brown @ Ari
27. DeAngelo Williams @ Mia
28. Rashard Mendenhall vs Ind
29. Trent Richardson vs Ari
30. Montee Ball @ NE

Comments: Look for a huge game from Zac Stacy as he plays against a very poor Chicago defense. The Bears defense has not been able to stop the run this year and Stacy should have a very good game. I wouldn't expect the monster game we saw last week from Bobby Rainey. He is playable but downplay your expectations.

WR

1. Calvin Johnson vs TB
2. Andre Johnson vs Jac
3. Vincent Jackson vs Det
4. Demaryius Thomas @ NE
5. Dez Bryant @ NYG
6. Brandon Marshall @ StL
7. Victor Cruz vs Dal
8. Jordy Nelson vs Min
9. Wes Welker vs NE
10. Josh Gordon vs Pit
11. Alshon Jeffery vs StL
12. Pierre Garcon vs SF
13. Torrey Smith vs NYJ
14. Eric Decker @ NE
15. TY Hilton @ Ari
16. Larry Fitzgerald vs Indy
17. Danny Amendola vs Den
18. Kendall Wright @ Oak
19. Antonio Brown @ Cle
20. Keenan Allen @ KC
21. Jarrett Boykin vs Min
22. Hakeem Nicks vs Dal
23. Michael Floyd vs Ind
24. Anquan Boldin vs Wash
25. Aaron Dobson vs Den
26. Steve Smith @ Mia
27. Dwayne Bowe vs SD
28. Cecil Shorts @ Hou
29. Rueban Randle vs Dal
30. James Jones vs Min

Comments: I would stay away from Antonio Brown this week. It's hard to sit him but with Brown jumping on Haden Island this weekend, it's hard to trust him. Joe Haden kept AJ Green to 2 receptions for 7 yards receiving last week. The same goes for TY Hilton as he will be matched up with Patrick Peterson this weekend, a very good cover cornerback. Expect a great game from Wes Welker as he plays his former team. Players that play their former teams seem to always play great and put up great fantasy numbers.

TE

1. Rob Gronkowski vs Den
2. Vernon Davis @ Wash
3. Julius Thomas @ NE
4. Jason Witten @ NYG
5. Coby Fleener @ Ari
6. Antonio Gates @ KC
7. Greg Olsen @ Mia
8. Delanie Walker @ Oak
9. Garrett Graham vs Jac
10. Jordan Cameron vs Pit
11. Heath Miller @ Cle
12. Martellus Bennett @ StL
13. John Carlson @ GB
14. Rob Housler vs Ind
15. Charles Clay

Comments: I like Coby Fleener's chances of continuing his good games as he plays an Arizona defense that is last in the league against TEs from a fantasy standpoint. Even though Antonio Gates is playing a very strong defense in KC, the one minor weak point of that defense is against the TE position, which makes him a viable play this week.

Side Note: All Thursday Night players from New Orleans and Atlanta have been excluded from this list.
