Quarterback

1.	Aaron Rodgers GB vs. StL Note: The Packers offense against a pass defense now down three DB's? The potential is enormous.
2.	Tom Brady NE vs. Dal
3.	Drew Brees NO at TB
4.	Michael Vick PHI at Was Note: Getting beat up each week and he made a number of mistakes against the Bills, but he's also still putting up the yards.
5.	Cam Newton CAR at Atl Note: It's pretty transparent that Newton is going to get the ball inside the 5 almost all the time.
6.	Tony Romo DAL at NE Note: Will be wearing a Kevlar vest still, and will get a pain-killing injection before the game.*
7.	Eli Manning NYG vs. Buf Note: Tons of yards, tons of mistakes.
8.	Matthew Stafford DET vs. SF Note: Got by without his best against the Bears - he'll need to do better against the Niners.
9.	Ben Roethlisberger PIT vs. Jac Note: (Foot) Not on this week's injury report.
10.	Ryan Fitzpatrick BUF at NYG Note: Lost out on a potential red zone score to Brad Smith - that could happen more often, especially with Donald Jones now out.
11.	Matt Ryan ATL vs. Car
12.	Josh Freeman TB vs. NO
13.	Jason Campbell OAK vs. Cle Note: (Foot) Listed as probable.*
14.	Jay Cutler CHI vs. Min Note: Just no time to throw - limted to a lot of quick, short patterns with inferior receivers.
15.	Alex

11.	Matt Ryan ATL vs. Car
12.	Josh Freeman TB vs. NO
13.	Jason Campbell OAK vs. Cle Note: (Foot) Listed as probable.*
14.	Jay Cutler CHI vs. Min Note: Just no time to throw - limted to a lot of quick, short patterns with inferior receivers.
15.	Alex Smith SF at Det Note: Will Smith be asked to do more this week if the Lions jump out to a lead?
16.	Joe Flacco BAL vs. Hou
17.	Mark Sanchez NYJ vs. Mia
18.	Matt Schaub HOU at Bal Note: Sore shoulder and a thigh bruise, plus no Andre Johnson, against the Ravens. Not the best week to go with him. Sat out practice Wednesday, limited on Thursday. Full practice Friday. *
19.	Rex Grossman WAS vs. Phi
20.	Andy Dalton CIN vs. Ind Note: Shaky early, clutch late - Dalton right now probably is a better real life QB than fantasy QB.
21.	Colt McCoy CLE at Oak
22.	Curtis Painter IND at Cin Note: At the very least, he's demonstrated cause to be starting ahead of Kerry Collins, even with the second half fade (3-of-10) last week against the Chiefs. Named the starter for the rest of the season.
23.	Sam Bradford STL at GB
24.	Donovan McNabb MIN at Chi Note: Getting booed even in victory. If the Vikes fall behind at Chicago early, could we see a quick hook?
25.	Blaine Gabbert JAC at Pit
26.	*Matt Moore MIA at NYJ Note: Starting now that Chad Henne is out for the season. Sage Rosenfels will be the backup.

Running Backs

1.	Adrian Peterson MIN at Chi Note: The Bears are allowing a league-worst 5.7 yards per carry - an 88-yard run tends to hurt that average.
2.	Darren McFadden OAK vs. Cle Note: Multiple big plays were called back by penalties last week.
3.	Ray Rice BAL vs. Hou
4.	Fred Jackson BUF at NYG
5.	LeSean McCoy PHI at Was
6.	Michael Turner ATL vs. Car
7.	Arian Foster HOU at Bal Note: Got a big bump up last week in PPR leagues thanks to Andre Johnson's absence. Limited in practice with a sore quad. Officially listed as probable. *
8.	Ahmad Bradshaw NYG vs. Buf Note: The Giants' offensive line is having a hard time opening holes - hence his low performance against the Seahawks, even with Jacobs out.
9.	Maurice Jones-Drew JAC at Pit Note: How does a team with mediocre-at-best targets in the passing game not throw the ball to MJD at least once? Karim got thrown all the screens last week against the Bengals.
10.	Frank Gore SF at Det Note: Gore's ankle doesn't appear to be a problem any longer.
11.	*Cedric Benson CIN vs. Ind Note: Suspension ruling unlikely to come down this week, given that he has a hearing against the NFLPA on Tuesday.
12.	Felix Jones DAL at NE Note: (Shoulder) Full participant in practice Thursday.*
13.	Shonn Greene NYJ vs. Mia Note: The primary beneficiary to the Jets' return to 'ground and pound.'
14.	Matt Forte CHI vs. Min
15.	Jahvid Best DET vs. SF Note: Best's big game was essentially the product of two big runs.
16.	Peyton Hillis CLE at Oak
17.	Darren Sproles NO at TB
18.	Steven Jackson STL at GB Note: Fully recovered from the quad injury that bothered him before the bye week.*
19.	*Ryan Torain WAS vs. Phi Note: Redskins haven't yet named a starter at tailback this week. My best guess is that Torain gets at least a plurality of the carries, most likely a majority of them.
20.	DeAngelo Williams CAR at Atl Note: Finally had his first big day, but even then, just got nine carries.
21.	Rashard Mendenhall PIT vs. Jac Note: (Hamstring) Expected to return to game action after not playing last week; level of activity will be determined by practice results. 'Ready to go' this week, should get a good amount of carries this week, if not his usual load.*
22.	James Starks GB vs. StL
23.	BenJarvus Green-Ellis NE vs. Dal Note: Big game against the Jets last week, but this is a pretty bad matchup. Limted Wednesday and sat out Thursday, but full practice Friday with a toe injury.*
24.	*Earnest Graham TB vs. NO Note: Would likely start this week if Blount can't go.
25.	Mark Ingram NO at TB Note: Ok, I concede that Ingram isn't going to get the carries to make him an RB1 and often not an RB2 depending on your situation.
26.	Delone Carter IND at Cin
27.	*Isaac Redman PIT vs. Jac Note: Got banged up in the fourth quarter, missing out on a chance to score a garbage-time touchdown.
28.	Pierre Thomas NO at TB
29.	*Donald Brown IND at Cin Note: Had eight carries after Addai got hurt, though Delone Carter got the goal line carries.
30.	Jonathan Stewart CAR at Atl
31.	Michael Bush OAK vs. Cle
32.	Stevan Ridley NE vs. Dal Note: Did nothing while BGE went off.
33.	Reggie Bush MIA at NYJ
34.	Ryan Grant GB vs. StL
35.	Daniel Thomas MIA at NYJ Note: (Hamstring) Returned to practice Tuesday. Limited participant Thursday, but said he'll play Monday night. Limited on Saturday, officially questionable, though he's personally more optimistic, for whatever that's worth. *
36.	Lex Hilliard MIA at NYJ Note: Moving up with Daniel Thomas still questionable with a hamstring injury. *
37.	Kendall Hunter SF at Det
38.	Montario Hardesty CLE at Oak
39.	Ricky Williams BAL vs. Hou
40.	Bernard Scott CIN vs. Ind Note: Is it possible that he'll start getting more carries on merit alone, even if Benson is never suspended.
41.	Keiland Williams DET vs. SF
42.	Ben Tate HOU at Bal Note: (Groin) Did not play last week. Limited participant in practice earlier in the week. Listed as probable. *
43.	DeMarco Murray DAL at NE
44.	Roy Helu Jr. WAS vs. Phi Note: Helu even more than Hightower gets hurt by the emergence of Torain, at least in the short-term.
45.	Cadillac Williams STL at GB
46.	Tashard Choice DAL at NE
47.	Brian Leonard CIN vs. Ind
48.	Kregg Lumpkin TB vs. NO Note: With Blount out and Allen Bradford cut, Lumpkin isn't a bad desperation play this week - after all, you're betting against Earnest Graham.*
49.	John Kuhn GB vs. StL
50.	*C.J. Spiller BUF at NYG Note: Limited both by his knee injury and by Fred Jackson's success.
51.	Deji Karim JAC at Pit
52.	LaDainian Tomlinson NYJ vs. Mia Note: Limited in practice with a calf injury. Full participation in Friday's practice. *
53.	Tim Hightower WAS vs. Phi Note: (Shoulder) Still sore but able to practice Monday. Limited all week, listed as questionable.*
54.	Marion Barber CHI vs. Min
55.	Toby Gerhart MIN at Chi
56.	Jason Snelling ATL vs. Car
57.	Danny Ware NYG vs. Buf
58.	Ronnie Brown PHI at Was
59.	Jonathan Dwyer PIT vs. Jac Note: Do we have to add Dwyer to the equation even after Mendenhall returns? Back to being an 'emergency back.' *
60.	Alex Green GB vs. StL
61.	Maurice Morris DET vs. SF
62.	Jerome Harrison DET vs. SF Note: Was inactive Monday night - fallen behind Williams and Morris as Best's backup.
63.	Jacquizz Rodgers ATL vs. Car
64.	Taiwan Jones OAK vs. Cle
65.	Derrick Ward HOU at Bal
66.	Anthony Dixon SF at Det
67.	Shane Vereen NE vs. Dal
68.	Mike Goodson CAR at Atl
69.	Joseph Addai IND at Cin Note: Left with a hamstring injury - MRI's due early in the week. Said that he felt a grab, not a tear, for what it's worth. The fact that the Colts activated Darren Evans from the practice squad doesn't bode well. 'Longshot' to play this week. Officially out this week. *
70.	LeGarrette Blount TB vs. NO Note: Left last week with a knee injury, and his status for this week is uncertain. MCL Sprain, out at least this week, possibly up to six weeks.*
71.	Brandon Jacobs NYG vs. Buf Note: (Knee) Out again Friday, will probably sit out again this week.*
72.	Danny Woodhead NE vs. Dal Note: (Ankle) Limited participant on Thursday.*
73.	Mewelde Moore PIT vs. Jac Note: (Ankle) Questionable again for this week. Ruled out again this week. *

Wide Receivers

1.	Calvin Johnson DET vs. SF Note: So weak - just one touchdown? (imagine the sarcasm font, please)
2.	Wes Welker NE vs. Dal
3.	Steve Smith CAR at Atl
4.	Hakeem Nicks NYG vs. Buf
5.	Mike Wallace PIT vs. Jac
6.	Greg Jennings GB vs. StL Note: Limited Thursday with a sore groin.*
7.	DeSean Jackson PHI at Was
8.	*Roddy White ATL vs. Car Note: Still dealing with that thigh injury.
9.	Miles Austin DAL at NE Note: (Hamstring) Practiced Monday for the first time in three weeks. Practice reports are good - bumping him up this week.*
10.	Steve Johnson BUF at NYG
11.	*Dez Bryant DAL at NE Note: (Quad) Full participation in practice this week.
12.	A.J. Green CIN vs. Ind Note: Made a sweet move to get open for his touchdown reception.
13.	Jeremy Maclin PHI at Was
14.	Marques Colston NO at TB Note: * No longer on a limited snap count. *
15.	Santana Moss WAS vs. Phi
16.	Brandon Marshall MIA at NYJ
17.	Victor Cruz NYG vs. Buf Note: Another huge game deserves our respect - even with the costly fumble.
18.	Jordy Nelson GB vs. StL
19.	Pierre Garcon IND at Cin
20.	Santonio Holmes NYJ vs. Mia
21.	Anquan Boldin BAL vs. Hou
22.	Mike Williams TB vs. NO Note: Getting frustrated, but sticking with him one more time.
23.	David Nelson BUF at NYG Note: Only targeted twice last week, but the Bills barely threw downfield because they were protecting a lead and because of the Eagles' cover corners. With Donald Jones out, he should get a lot of action this week.
24.	Mario Manningham NYG vs. Buf Note: Upstaged by Victor Cruz last week, but still had nine targets.
25.	Darrius Heyward-Bey OAK vs. Cle Note: Continuing to show signs why he was drafted so high. Should be helped by the continued absence of Joe Haden.*
26.	Reggie Wayne IND at Cin
27.	Mike Thomas JAC at Pit
28.	Kevin Walter HOU at Bal Note: Sat out Thursday with an illness. Full participant in Friday's practice. *
29.	Lance Moore NO at TB
30.	Mike Sims-Walker STL at GB
31.	Michael Crabtree SF at Det
32.	Percy Harvin MIN at Chi Note: Somehow just got two touches (one run, one reception) last week. That makes a lot of sense. Practiced Friday after sitting out earlier with a rib injury. Officially questionable, but expects to play. *
33.	Johnny Knox CHI vs. Min
34.	Mohamed Massaquoi CLE at Oak
35.	Deion Branch NE vs. Dal
36.	*Greg Little CLE at Oak Note: Replacing Brian Robiskie as the starting 'X' receiver this week, in two-receiver sets.
37.	Torrey Smith BAL vs. Hou Note: Starting again this week with Lee Evans still out.*
38.	Harry Douglas ATL vs. Car Note: Starting in place of the injured Julio Jones.*
39.	Robert Meachem NO at TB
40.	Preston Parker TB vs. NO
41.	*Plaxico Burress NYJ vs. Mia Note: Played through a bad elbow, though he had a couple of drops last week.
42.	Antonio Brown PIT vs. Jac
43.	Titus Young DET vs. SF
44.	Danario Alexander STL at GB
45.	Nate Burleson DET vs. SF
46.	Laurent Robinson DAL at NE
47.	Jason Hill JAC at Pit Note: The long touchdown was on a blown coverage, so don't overvalue what he did against the Bengals.
48.	Austin Collie IND at Cin
49.	Andre Caldwell CIN vs. Ind Note: Limited by continued presence of Jerome Simpson.
50.	Brandon Gibson STL at GB
51.	Josh Cribbs CLE at Oak Note: (Knee) Sat out team drills Monday. Practiced Thursday and Friday.*
52.	Davone Bess MIA at NYJ
53.	Dane Sanzenbacher CHI vs. Min
54.	Chad Ochocinco NE vs. Dal
55.	Hines Ward PIT vs. Jac
56.	Denarius Moore OAK vs. Cle Note: Frustrating shutout last week.
57.	Jabar Gaffney WAS vs. Phi
58.	*Ted Ginn SF at Det Note: Should enter the starting lineup with Josh Morgan hurt.
59.	James Jones GB vs. StL Note: Jones' number came up Sunday night, but unfortunately you can't rely upon him every week.
60.	*Jacoby Jones HOU at Bal Note: Had just one catch starting in place of Andre Johnson, despite getting a whopping 11 targets.
61.	Devin Hester CHI vs. Min
62.	Brian Hartline MIA at NYJ
63.	Austin Pettis STL at GB
64.	*Naaman Roosevelt BUF at NYG Note: The Bills' third receiver now that Donald Jones is out.
65.	Michael Jenkins MIN at Chi
66.	Devin Aromashodu MIN at Chi
67.	Jason Avant PHI at Was
68.	Derrick Mason HOU at Bal Note: Marginalized last week against the Patriots, then traded to the Texans on Tuesday night - this is a bad sign for Jacoby Jones.
69.	Brandon LaFell CAR at Atl
70.	Arrelious Benn TB vs. NO
71.	Jacoby Ford OAK vs. Cle
72.	Emmanuel Sanders PIT vs. Jac
73.	*Jeremy Kerley NYJ vs. Mia Note: Displacing Derrick Mason as the third receiver for the Jets?
74.	*Jerome Simpson CIN vs. Ind Note: Injured his shoulder against Jacksonville, but stayed in the game. Got seven targets last week.

76.	Chaz Schilens OAK vs. Cle
77.	Kevin Ogletree DAL at NE
78.	Anthony Armstrong WAS vs. Phi Note: Sat out Week 4 with a hamstring injury but should be able to return thanks to last week's bye week. Now listed as questionable.*
79.	*Devery Henderson NO at TB Note: (Calf) Just one target last week.

84.	Cecil Shorts JAC at Pit
85.	*Julio Jones ATL vs. Car Note: Left with a hamstring injury, won't practice on Wednesday.

87.	Roy Williams CHI vs. Min
88.	*Louis Murphy OAK vs. Cle
89.	*Bernard Berrian MIN at Chi Note: Why not cut him already?
90.	*Braylon Edwards SF at Det
91.	Andre Johnson HOU at Bal Note: (Hamstring) Not officially declared out yet. Didn't practice Friday, officially out again. *
92.	*Donald Jones BUF at NYG Note: Out 4-to-6 weeks with an ankle injury.
93.	*Josh Morgan SF at Det Note: Fractured ankle, out indefinitely.

Tight Ends

1.	Jason Witten DAL at NE

3.	Jermichael Finley GB vs. StL Note: Two big drops prevented Finley from having a huge day.

19.	Dallas Clark IND at Cin Note: Clark's outlook looks progressively bleak.
20.	*Evan Moore CLE at Oak Note: Will get more plays going forward - though it's not certain that it will be at Ben Watson's expense.
