The Cowboys offense is a conundrum, you never know who is going to score on a consistent basis. A big reason for this depends on how the opposing team defends them. The last two weeks Dez Bryant has had 28 targets compared to Miles Austin’s 11. Is this a sign that Bryant is now the #1 receiver? I don’t think so. There will be big games by one each week.

Similar to the Cowboys, the Titans offense is highly unpredictable. Kenny Britt is the #1 option but Kendall Wright and Nate Washington could all have great fantasy days. If one of these three were go to down with an injury the two remaining players would be top 25 wide receivers.

I’m all-in on Dustin Keller for two reasons: A) the Jets are going to be down a lot, which means there will be a lot of junk time and B) Keller is the best offensive weapon available so I expect him to receive the lions share of the targets.

I do not understand why Scott Chandler is so high in the rankings (average of 7). A lot of fantasy owners may look at the total number of points he’s amassed and believe he’s a reliable fantasy tight end. Most of his fantasy value comes from touchdowns, which is hard to forecast and repeat. Feast of famine tight ends like Chandler (I’m looking at you Vernon Davis) are options I try to avoid.

Colby Fleener is due for a big day. Joe Hayden will blanket Reggie Wayne all day and Luck will have to find the next best receiving option. I believe it will be Fleener.

After being all-in on Andrew Luck I’ve put my foot on the brakes. I have him ranked 17 which is far lower than the average ranking of 9. Cleveland has a very good defense and Joe Hayden will be neutralize Luck’s favorite weapon in Reggie Wayne. If Luck had better throwing options I would feel more confident, but none of his options have not stepped up at all.

I love Jay Cutler this week. In fact I love most quarterbacks playing against the bad Lions defense. A lot of people use the cliche of how Lions will get amped up for the game because it is on Monday night. I don’t see that happening and I see a big game in the passing game for the Bears.

Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Hasselbeck are great bye week fillins. The Titans defense is the worst in the league and Bills are four spots ahead of them. I expect this game to be a shootout with the primary benefactors being your fantasy team.
