Bye Weeks:

Larry Fitzgerald, Anquan Boldin, Roddy White, Steve Smith, DeSean Jackson, Jason Avant, Steve Breaston, Mushin Muhammad, Michael Jenkins, Kevin Curtis, Jeremy Maclin.

Three UP:

Vincent Jackson: Rank # 3- The Steelers defense is not the same without Polamalu patrolling the secondary and no one is throwing a prettier deep ball than Pip Riv right now. Jackson has shown the ability to get open deep and he will make the Steelers pay this week.

Chad Ochocinco: Rank # 7- The Browns defense can’t stop anyone right now: in the air or on the ground. Ocho looks like he’s back to vintage form and that means a big game is lurking. I think the Bengals are for real this year and Ocho breaks out in a big way in this one.

Justin Gage: Rank # 16- His value could be killed if the Titans decide to run all game. But the best game of Gage’s career came at Jacksonville last season when he had 4-147-2. He probably isn’t going to put up that line again but I like him to be reasonable productive this week.

Three Down:

Eddie Royal: Rank # 38- Royal has been horrendous this season despite appearing on paper as a perfect fit for the New England style offense that Josh McDaniels was supposed to bring with him to Denver. He seems like he is more confused than Brandon Marshall on the field, which is quite the accomplishment. I don’t like him this week or going forward. Sit him.

Ted Ginn Jr: Rank # 43- Maybe this one is out of hate but I can’t stand Ginn, he’s my least favorite player in the NFL. Being blessed with blazing speed doesn’t mean a lick when you simply can not catch. The only way I would start him this week is if your league counts drops as points.

Terrell Owens: Rank # 34- I loved Owens last week and he made me look terrible with his zero points. I think he’ll eventually get things turned around but this game should belong to Lee Evans on the receiving end of things. Evans just owns the Dolphins in his career, in ten career games he has 8TDs.

Last Week 3up/3down:

3-3

Mason and Owens really should have been switched and Marshall wasn’t as bad as I though but he really should have been; he grabbed a lucky TD when the Broncos couldn’t pound it in from close.

Sleeper of the week:

Mike Sims-Walker: Rank # 21- I love me some Sims-Walker. I’ve been talking about him all season and I really like this match up against a Titans defense that ranks 29th in the NFL against the pass. The Titans will have to load up the box so MJD doesn’t beat them so I like Sims-Walker to rack up the stats here.

Keep an eye on:

Keenan Burton: He’s the new starting receiver for the Rams, starting in place of the injured Laurent Robinson. He grabbed three passes for 37 yards when Boller came into the last week. It seems like there is something wrong with Donnie Avery so look for Burton to possibly break out like Robinson looked like he would.

Mike Wallace: "60 Minutes" looked great last week and could be taking the WR3 role away from Linus Sweed. He went for over 100 yards last week so monitor his performance to see if he can be consistent.

Injuries:

Laurent Robinson - Out for the season with an ankle and leg injury. Drop him.

Dwayne Bowe- sat out last week with a pulled hamstring and will not try to practice until Thursday. He’s the Chiefs best option at receiver so look for him to try to play. Monitor until game time.

Wes Welker- Don’t let him burn you this week, watch his status until game time. He plays in the early games this week so you’ll be able to replace him if he’s out.
