Quarterback

1.	Aaron Rodgers GB vs. NO
2.	Philip Rivers SD vs. Min
3.	Michael Vick PHI at StL Note: The Eagles didn't really have much of a choice but to commit to Vick once they traded Kevin Kolb away. So the contract extension doesn't really change anything.
4.	Tom Brady NE at Mia
5.	Drew Brees NO at GB
6.	Matt Schaub HOU vs. Ind
7.	Eli Manning NYG at Was Note: Going against a Redskins defense that will be without LaRon Landry.
8.	Josh Freeman TB vs. Det
9.	Jay Cutler CHI vs. Atl
10.	Kevin Kolb ARZ vs. Car
11.	Matthew Stafford DET at TB
12.	Ben Roethlisberger PIT at Bal
13.	Tony Romo DAL at NYJ
14.	Matt Ryan ATL at Chi
15.	Kyle Orton DEN vs. Oak
16.	Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. Dal
17.	*Alex Smith SF vs. Sea Note: Won the Niners' starting quarterback job out of training camp. That's a dubious victory, however - more on the lack of better options than his own performance.
18.	Jason Campbell OAK at Den
19.	*Rex Grossman WAS vs. NYG Note: Named the Redskins' starter ahead of John Beck. He might be better than this, given all the Giants' injuries in the secondary.
20.	Sam Bradford STL vs. Phi Note: He's been getting pumped up some because Josh McDaniels is his coordinator. But, even if that will have the desired effect, how quickly will it happen? Probably

13.	DeSean Jackson PHI at StL
14.	Marques Colston NO at GB
15.	*Anquan Boldin BAL vs. Pit Note: Had his knee wrapped during the Ravens' final preseason game, which he sat out, but he insisted that the wrap was for comfort.

18.	Santonio Holmes NYJ vs. Dal
19.	Mario Manningham NYG at Was

22.	Dez Bryant DAL at NYJ
23.	Mike Thomas JAC vs. Ten Note: Just lost his starting quarterback.
24.	*Wes Welker NE at Mia Note: (Neck) Able to practice Monday - but how much?

60.	Jordan Shipley CIN at Cle
61.	Kevin Walter HOU vs. Ind

73.	Denarius Moore OAK at Den
74.	Jerricho Cotchery PIT at Bal
75.	Anthony Armstrong WAS vs. NYG
76.	Antonio Brown PIT at Bal Note: Very nice preseason, but at the end of the day, he's still a third receiver for the Steelers, at least for now.
77.	Jason Hill JAC vs. Ten Note: Much like the Bills, someone has to be the #2.
78.	Devin Hester CHI vs. Atl
79.	Brian Hartline MIA vs. NE
80.	Jason Avant PHI at StL
81.	Donald Jones BUF at KC Note: Someone has to be the Bills' #2 receiver - right now it looks to be Jones.

92.	Brandon LaFell CAR at Ari
93.	Early Doucet ARZ vs. Car
94.	Danario Alexander STL vs. Phi Note: The Rams chose Alexander over Donnie Avery. Roster spot could be in jeopardy when Mark Clayton comes off the PUP list.
95.	Jerrel Jernigan NYG at Was

101.	*Louis Murphy OAK at Den Note: (Groin) Ruled out for Week 1, maybe longer.
102.	*Demaryius Thomas DEN vs. Oak Note: (Achilles' tendon) Two months ahead of schedule, thoush I don't suspect he'll be of much value early on this season.
103.	Lance Moore NO at GB Note: Sat out practice Monday with a groin injury. Ruled out for Thursday's season opener.*

Tight Ends

1.	Antonio Gates SD vs. Min Note: Adding in a handful of TE's to the flex rankings.
2.	Vernon Davis SF vs. Sea
3.	Jason Witten DAL at NYJ
4.	Marcedes Lewis JAC vs. Ten Note: Could get a lot of targets this year, with few proven wideouts aside from Mike Thomas.
5.	*Jermichael Finley GB vs. NO Note: (Ankle) Limited participant in Monday's practice. Listed as probable despite earlier limitations in practice this week.
6.	Owen Daniels HOU vs. Ind
7.	Jimmy Graham NO at GB
8.	*Dallas Clark IND at Hou Note: Coming back from a wrist injury that ended last season, but could be without Manning for a while.

11.	Jared Cook TEN at Jac
12.	Kellen Winslow TB vs. Det
13.	*Ben Watson CLE vs. Cin Note: (Hip) Full practice Friday.
14.	Rob Gronkowski NE at Mia Note: I have him below Hernandez in standard leagues, but he'd be ahead of him in TD-only leagues, though I'm not entirely convinced end zone targets repeat from year-to-year.
15.	Tony Gonzalez ATL at Chi
16.	Lance Kendricks STL vs. Phi Note: Trendy sleeper with the Rams - rookie tight ends frequently struggle, so don't overrate what he did in the preseason.
17.	Greg Olsen CAR at Ari Note: Certainly a better situation than in Chicago, but Shockey could take away his targets.
18.	Jermaine Gresham CIN at Cle Note: Bo Scaife was put on IR and Chase Coffman was cut, so all the TE targets are his.
19.	Todd Heap ARZ vs. Car
20.	Zach Miller SEA at SF Note: The unquestioned starter for Seattle now that John Carlson is out for the year.
21.	Fred Davis WAS vs. NYG Note: Could start and be a great one-week option if Cooley can't go this week. Cooley will be active - uncertain just how much action he'll get, though.*
22.	Dustin Keller NYJ vs. Dal
23.	Chris Cooley WAS vs. NYG Note: (Knee) Limited in practice Monday - could miss Week 1; if so, Fred Davis could start. Limited in Wednesday's practice. Will be active Sunday.*
24.	Heath Miller PIT at Bal
25.	Ed Dickson BAL vs. Pit Note: Taking over now that Heap is in Arizona.
26.	Brent Celek PHI at StL
27.	*Evan Moore CLE vs. Cin Note: Would likely start and be a red-zone target if Ben Watson can't go.
28.	Anthony Fasano MIA vs. NE
29.	*Visanthe Shiancoe MIN at SD Note: Missed the entire preseason with a hamstring issue.
30.	Dennis Pitta BAL vs. Pit
31.	Leonard Pope KC vs. Buf Note: Likely KC starter with Moeaki out for the season.
32.	Scott Chandler BUF at KC Note: Win bar bets, impress your friends by being able to name the Bills' starting tight end.
33.	Kellen Davis CHI vs. Atl Note: The Bears' nominal tight end starter, as much as there can be one in a Mike Martz offense.
34.	Julius Thomas DEN vs. Oak Note: Possible starter for the Broncos.
35.	Jacob Tamme IND at Hou
36.	*Travis Beckum NYG at Was Note: (Hamstring) Listed as questionable.
