START Jay Cutler, QB, Bears vs. Bucs
START Cedric Benson, RB, Bengals
START LeGarrette Blount, RB, Buccaneers vs. Colts. Blount has returned to his workhorse role (24 carries in Week 3), and he should get plenty of cracks at the end zone in this matchup.
START Denarius Moore, WR, Raiders vs. Patriots. New England’s pass defense is downright sieve-like this season, having coughed up 1,163 passing yards and 7 TDs in just three games. Good news for Jason Campbell and Moore, who has scored in consecutive o
START Jordy Nelson, WR, Packers vs. Broncos. He has scored in two of three games thus far, while emerging as the undisputed No. 2 wideout in Aaron Rodgers’ arsenal.
(Here are some more players you should consider starting this week) START Joseph Addai, RB, Colts vs. Bucs
START Ahmad Bradshaw, RB, Giants vs. Cards
START Arian Foster, RB, Texans vs. Steelers
START Brandon Lloyd, WR, Broncos vs. Packers
START Daniel Thomas, RB, Dolphins vs. Chargers
START Dwayne Bowe, WR, Chiefs vs. Vikings
START QB Eli Manning, QB, Giants vs. Cards
START Matt Forte, RB Bears vs. Panthers
START Fred Jackson, RB, Bills vs. Bengals
START Johnny Knox, WR, Bears vs. Panthers
START Lance Moore, WR, Saints vs. Jaguars
START Mario Manningham, WR, Giants vs. Cards
START Matt Stafford, QB, Lions vs. Panthers
START Santana Moss, WR, Redskins vs. Rams
START Nate Washington, WR, Titans vs. Colts. The Titans’ passing game was horrendous last week against the Texans, but the Colts are just the ticket for a nice rebound. Indy has surrendered an NFL-high 14 passing TDs.
START Percy Harvin, WR, Vikings vs. Chiefs
START Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Bills vs. Bengals
START Darren Sproles, RB, Saints vs. Jaguars
START Stevie Johnson, WR, Bills vs. Bengals
START Tim Hightower, RB, Redskins vs. Rams
BENCH Joe Flacco, QB, Ravens vs. Jets. Flacco has alternated up and down weeks, and this matchup looks like another downer. New York has given up just two passing scores to date, with seven interceptions to their credit.
BENCH Jahvid Best, RB, Lions at Cowboys. He’s nursing a bruised thigh and heading into a matchup with one of the NFL’s stingiest run defenses. Best should contribute as a receiver, but probably not enough to justify starting him.
START Willis McGahee, RB, Broncos
BENCH Dez Bryant, WR, Cowboys vs. Lions. He is still struggling with his bruised thigh, and his quarterback is clearly not 100 percent. Meanwhile, Detroit’s pass defense has been stellar to date. I don’t like Bryant’s chances this week.
BENCH Marques Colston, WR, Saints at Jaguars. The Saints have a history of easing their injured receivers back into the rotation slowly. Colston is unlikely to get a full complement of snaps in his first action since injuring his collarbone in the opene
BENCH Beanie Wells, RB, Cardinals at 49ers. Strangely, the Cardinals have found more success lately leaning on John Skelton’s arm than Wells’ legs. Now he faces the league’s top run defense.
BENCH Chad Henne, QB, Dolphins vs. Chargers
BENCH Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers vs. Eagles
BENCH DeAngelo Williams, RB, Panthers.
BENCH Dexter McCluster, RB, Chiefs vs. Vikings
BENCH Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Titans vs. Browns
BENCH Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles vs.Giants
BENCH Julio Jones, WR, Falcons vs. Seahawks
BENCH Malcom Floyd, WR, Chargers vs. Dolphins
BENCH Plaxico Burress, WR, Jets vs. Ravens
BENCH Pierre Thomas, RB, Saints vs. Jaguars
BENCH Reggie Bush, RB, Dolphins vs. Chargers
BENCH Sam Bradford, QB, Rams.
BENCH Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets vs. Ravens
BENCH Mike Sims-Walker, WR, Rams vs. Redskins
BENCH Thomas Jones, RB, Chiefs vs. Vikings
BENCH Torrey Smith, WR, Ravens vs. Browns. With news that Anquan Boldin is out due to knee surgery, Smith will be the primary receiver in this matchup. That means he’ll be blanketed by Joe Haden, who is playing at an elite level.
