This is a weekend where there are some big names out of your lineups. Drew Brees and Mike Wallace and Jimmy Graham are just some of the spots you will need to fill in. Make sure to replace them with one of these players when you go to make your final decisions.

Carson Palmer is starting to get recognized by other owners and this is your chance to grab him while he is still on the waiver wire. He is going to have a solid weekend that you won’t want to miss. Denarius Moore, Darrius Heyward-Bey and other receivers finally have someone that can get them the ball and they will make the plays happen.

Vince Young is going to start this weekend for Michael Vick. He has the weapons to make it a great statistical day. DeSean Jackson is back and probably going to play harder now that he got called out by teammates. Young will look his way many times this weekend and both will put up solid numbers.

Dexter McCluster is going to be the “go-to guy” out of the backfield with Matt Cassel being out. The Chiefs will be out of a lot of games and will need a swing man out of the backfield to catch balls. McCluster will be that back with his solid catching ability.

Lance Ball ran the ball a lot last week and having Tim Tebow as his quarterback will most definitely mean the same for this week. Willis McGahee will probably sit out this week to get healthy, which means Ball will run the ball a lot.

Vincent Brown is going to be a stud receiver one of these days. He has an ability to go after every pass and if you watched him on Thursday night last week you saw a hungry receiver trying to prove he belongs. He will have a great weekend with Malcom Floyd being hurt again.

Damian Williams is taking advantage of Kenny Britt's injury and now it looks like Nate Washington is dealing with some injuries. He will be a main target for Matt Hasselbeck who seems to like the big target.

Ed Dickson is going to ride the hot streak of his 10 catch game from last week. He is a great pass catcher and even if he gets half the catches that he did last week he will still be a great starter.
