| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 1 | Robert Griffin III 258 yds 1.1 TDs | 26.3 | vs | ||||
| 2 | Aaron Rodgers 283 yds 2.9 TDs | 25.2 | @ | Now that's the Rodgers we've been waiting for to show up! Average matchup so I expect Rodgers to keep things rolling against Indy. | |||
| 3 | Drew Brees 324 yds 2.9 TDs | 24.7 | vs | ||||
| 4 | Matt Ryan 297 yds 2.7 TDs | 23.6 | @ | ||||
| 5 | Tom Brady 306 yds 2.3 TDs | 21.9 | vs | Finally got some decent numbers out of him and expecting a repeat vs Denver who he torched for 363 yards and 6 TDs in the 2011 playoffs. | |||
| 6 | Cam Newton 234 yds 1.0 TDs | 21.2 | vs | ||||
| 7 | Eli Manning 299 yds 2.0 TDs | 20.1 | vs | ||||
| Solid Freakin Start | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 8 | Peyton Manning 288 yds 2.0 TDs | 19.5 | @ | ||||
| 9 | Philip Rivers 272 yds 2.1 TDs | 19.5 | @ | Draws a good matchup in the 28th ranked Saints who have averaged 285 yards and 1.75 TDs per week to QBs. | |||
| 10 | Joe Flacco 275 yds 2.0 TDs | 19.2 | @ | ||||
| 11 | Ben Roethlisberger 255 yds 1.9 TDs | 18.3 | vs | Plays a top 5 pass defense in the Eagles week 5, but should manage to have decent fantasy production. | |||
| 12 | Andy Dalton 260 yds 1.7 TDs | 18.0 | vs | He's really elevated his play this year and should do good against an average Miami secondary. | |||
| 13 | Michael Vick 226 yds 1.2 TDs | 17.9 | @ | ||||
| 14 | Ryan Fitzpatrick 223 yds 1.8 TDs | 17.2 | @ | ||||
| 15 | Andrew Luck 251 yds 1.2 TDs | 17.0 | vs | ||||
| Freaky Potential | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 16 | Matt Hasselbeck 254 yds 1.6 TDs | 16.7 | @ | Gets the start with Locker injured (shoulder). The Vikes 2nd ranked run defense will force him to throw plenty. | |||
| 17 | Christian Ponder 206 yds 1.4 TDs | 15.4 | vs | They won but it was from Ponder's play last week, should do better this week with the Titans allowing 250 yds and 2 scores. | |||
| 18 | Alex Smith 203 yds 1.4 TDs | 14.8 | vs | ||||
| 19 | Jay Cutler 224 yds 1.1 TDs | 14.2 | @ | ||||
| 20 | Kevin Kolb 209 yds 1.2 TDs | 14.2 | @ | ||||
| 21 | Brandon Weeden 245 yds 0.9 TDs | 14.1 | @ | ||||
| 22 | Matt Schaub 214 yds 1.3 TDs | 14.0 | @ | ||||
| Freakin Longshot | |||||||
| Rank | Player / Projection | Points | Matchup | Comment | |||
| 23 | Matt Cassel 222 yds 0.9 TDs | 13.4 | vs | ||||
| 24 | Ryan Tannehill 217 yds 0.9 TDs | 12.9 | @ | He's inconsistent, but has 2 high scoring games. If you're forced into using him this week, you could do worse. Bengals are 24th against QBs | |||
| 25 | Sam Bradford 213 yds 0.9 TDs | 12.8 | vs | ||||
| 26 | Russell Wilson 185 yds 0.8 TDs | 12.3 | @ | Wilson has the Seahawks dead last in passing yardage thanks to Wilson's career high 160 yards last weekend. | |||
| 27 | Mark Sanchez 194 yds 0.9 TDs | 12.0 | vs | Struggled mightily against the 49ers soft pass defense. Not looking good squaring off against the Texans 2nd ranked unit. | |||
| No Fr$#kin Way | |||||||

| 28 | Blaine Gabbert 153 yds 0.6 TDs | 9.4 | vs | There's got to be better options available on the wire! | |||
