Start ‘Em

QB - Drew Brees vs. Rams - Rams defense hasn’t slowed anybody down and the Saints are on a roll.
RB - Marshawn Lynch vs. Dolphins - Probably Rookie of the Year if it weren’t for Adrian Peterson.
RB - Justin Fargas vs. Bears - New starter in Oakland, and Bears defense has fallen.
WR - Derrick Mason vs. Bengals - Bengals secondary is awful and Mason is somewhat resurrected.
WR - DJ Hackett vs. 49ers - Engram got his last week, this week it’s Hackett’s turn with Branch possibly out again.
TE - Vernon Davis vs. Seahawks - Davis seems to be back on track.
K - Jason Hanson vs. Cardinals - Will get plenty of opportunities.
D - Packers vs. Vikings - Bad QB situation in Minnesota

Bench ‘Em

QB - Phillip Rivers vs. Colts - Even with all his weapons, not a good matchup against Colts secondary.
RB - Maurice Jones-Drew vs. Titans - MJD gets stuffed this weekend.
RB - Jamal Lewis vs. Steelers - Lewis will find yards hard to come by.
WR - Marty Booker vs. Bills - Hasn’t done much with Chambers gone. Didn’t do much when he was there.
WR - Reggie Brown vs Redskins - Redskins secondary is tough, and Brown has not been consistent.
TE - Bo Scaife vs. Jaguars - Scaife has not measured up to the preseason hype.
K - Nate Kaeding vs. Colts - FG’s will not get it done versus Colts offense.
D - Cleveland vs. Steelers - Steelers offense seems to be clicking on all cylinders lately.
