New England Patriots

QB1: Tom Brady – Buy low period is 2 weeks gone. TD:INT ratio is up to 15:4. Both rates are well above league average.
QB2: Brian Hoyer -

RB1: Laurence Maroney (31%) (3%) – With Taylor and Morris injured, Maroney has carried it 29 times total the last two weeks and will continue to see a significant portion of the load going forward.
RB2: Sammy Morris (15%) (6%) – Missed week 7, but it should be close to a 50/50 platoon with Maroney when he returns.
RB3: Kevin Faulk (12%) (8%) – Will continue to see a handful of looks out of the backfield each game.
RB4: BenJarvus Green-Ellis (7%) (1%) – Seeing a few reps while Morris, Taylor are out
RB5: Fred Taylor (23%) (1%) – Still out for quite a while.

TE1: Ben Watson (7%) – 4 of his 15 catches have been touchdowns.
TE2: Chris Baker (4%) – 4 targets the last 2 weeks is 1 more than Watson has seen.

WR1: Randy Moss (24%) – 8+ targets in 5 of the team’s 7 games this season
WR2: Wes Welker (22%) – 10+ targets in every game he’s played in this season.
WR3: Julian Edelman (11%) – Out for a few more weeks with a broken forearm.
WR4: Sam Aiken (6%) – Will continue to have sleeper value as long as he is the WR3. Targeted only 3 times in week 7, but one was a long TD.
WR5: Brandon Tate (0%) – Will likely be active for the near future, but won’t contribute much.
WR6: Matthew Slater (0%) -

New York Jets

QB1: Mark Sanchez – Ugly 5.6% INT rate needs improvement. TD rate is below average, as well, but he’s putting up big yards on his completions, which is expected in any run heavy offense
QB2: Kellen Clemens -
QB3: Erik Ainge -
QB4: Kevin O’Connell -

RB1: Thomas Jones (48%) (5%) – Leon Washington is done for the year, but that shouldn’t affect Jones very much as Grenne can pick up his share of the workload. He will continue to get most of the carries in the league’s 2nd run heaviest offense.
RB2: Shonn Greene (11%) (0%) – Greene now becomes one of the league’s most significant RB2s with Washington out for the season. Washington carried it about 12 times a game before his injury and made an even bigger impact in the passing game with 26 targets in 6 games.
RB3: Tony Richardson (1%) (1%) -

TE1: Dustin Keller (20%) – Keller is targeted with a ton of the team’s passes, but they don’t pass too often, making him a mediocre option
TE2: Ben Hartsock (2%) -
TE3: James Dearth (0%) -

WR1: Jericho Cotchery (20%) – Cotchery has missed 2 games with an injury and Sanchez has struggled without him. Expect him to return to fantasy relevance immediately upon his return.
WR2: Braylon Edwards (11%) – Edwards had a big  New York debut, but has been shut down since filling in at WR1 for Cotchery. Only 54 total yards the last 2

weeks, but he has been targeted 9 times in 2 of his 3 games as a Jet, which is promising.
WR3: David Clowney (6%) – Since the trade for Edwards, Clowney has caught 8 of the 9 passes thrown his way for 151 yards and a touchdown.
WR4: Brad Smith (5%) -
WR5: Wallace Wright (1%) -
WR6: Danny Woodhead (0%) -

Buffalo Bills

QB1: Trent Edwards – Edwards is still out with an injury and it could be a few more weeks until he returns.
QB2: Ryan Fitzpatrick – Fitzpatrick has not been completing passes, but he has kept the INTs down so far. He will start until Edwards is healthy.
QB3: Gibran Hamdan -

RB1: Marshawn Lynch (31%) (9%) – Lynch has taken a larger chuck of the workload each week since his return and appears to be settled in as the RB1 once again.
RB2: Fred Jackson (52%) (14%) – Jackson had just 5 carries in week 7 and has really been a non-factor since the return of Lynch. That said, Lynch hasn’t exactly been lights out, so this is a battle worth keeping an eye on.
RB3: Xavier Omon (3%) (1%) -
RB4: Corey McIntyre (0%) (2%) -

TE1: Derek Fine (7%) – Fitzpatrick looked the way of a tight end only once on Sunday.
TE2: Shawn Nelson (6%) -
TE3: Jonathan Stupar (1%) -

WR1: Terrell Owens (21%) – Owens has seen 7-8 targets in each of the last 4 games, which has translated to just 3-4 catches and a small chunk of yards in each of those games.
WR2: Lee Evans (24%) – Evans has quietly had a nice few weeks and is now 6 targets, 3 receptions, 60 yards, and 2 touchdowns ahead of Owens
WR3: Josh Reed (9%) – Reed is good for no more than 3-4 looks a game
WR4: Roscoe Parrish (1%) -
WR5: Steve Johnson (1%) -
WR6: Justin Jenkins (0%) -

Miami Dolphins

QB1: Chad Henne – Henne isn’t racking up much in terms of yardage and scores and is average in the INTs department.
QB2: Pat White – Just 4 carries for White this season.
QB3: Tyler Thigpen -

RB1: Ronnie Brown (51%) (7%) – Brown has and will continue to get a larger chunk of the carries. 4.5 YPC is solid.
RB2: Ricky Williams (33%) (10%) – Williams has actually been more effective than Brown (5.7 YPC) and is doing a nice job in the pass game with 13 receptions, but will continue as the #2 in the platoon.
RB3: Lousaka Polite (6%) (4%) – Polite will see a few carries a game most weeks with Cobbs out.
RB4: Lex Hilliard (0%) (0%) -
RB5: Kory Sheets (0%) (0%) -

TE1: Anthony Fasano (11%) – Henne has looked to Fasano 14 times in his 3 games as a starter
TE2: Joey Haynos (4%) -
TE3: John Nalbone (0%) -

WR1: Ted Ginn Jr. (23%) – I’m leaving Ginn at WR1 for now, but the coaching staff has said he is no longer a starter (They’ve yet to name the new starters, however, which is why he will stick as WR1 for one more week). How much playing time he will get is to be seen. He’s caught just 45% of the 40 passes thrown to him for a below average YPR mark of 11.7.
WR2: Davone Bess (19%) – Bess continues to share see just a handful of looks a game, but is catching just under 80%, which is an impressive mark
WR3: Greg Camarillo (12%) – 12 catches on 14 targets for 130 yards in Henne’s 3 starts.
WR4: Brian Hartline (8%) – Hartline could be the big winner in the Ginn demotion. He had 5 targets in week 7, which translated to 3 catches for 94 yards. Don’t be shocked if he is named a starter.
WR5: Patrick Turner (0%) -

Jacksonville Jaguars

QB1: David Garrard – Has been relatively average in terms of yardage, but his touchdown rate is low and interception rate is well better than average.
QB2: Luke McCown -

RB1: Maurice Jones-Drew (68%) (17%) – The Jaguars have been quick to sit MJD in one-sided games, but he’s been getting a ton of looks when he’s in action. He saw a whopping 40 looks in week 7 and is still the top back in PPR formats.
RB2: Rashad Jennings (9%) (1%) – Jennings is the #2 behind MJD and a must own handcuff for his owners.
RB3: Greg Jones (2%) (3%) – Surprisingly, has only seen 3 carries
RB4: Montell Owens (1%) (0%) -
RB5: Jeremy Cain (0%) (0%) -

TE1: Marcedes Lewis (14%) – Up and down production leaves him as simply an average TE option
TE2: Zach Miller (3%) -
TE3: Ernest Wilford (3%) -

WR1: Mike Sims-Walker (20%) – Sims-Walker is seeing double digit looks every week and is officially a must start/borderline #1 WR option.
WR2: Torry Holt (22%) – Even with Sims-Walker in action, Holt has put up decent numbers. In week 7, both players eclipsed 100 receiving yards.
WR3: Mike Thomas (8%) – Thomas was targeted 9 times in week 7 and is worth a look in deeper leagues
WR4: Jarett Dillard (2%) – Only 4 targets to date
WR5: Tiquan Underwood (0%) -

Houston Texans

QB1: Matt Schaub – Schaub is doing it all well, racking up yards and touchdowns at a pace well above league average, while also keeping his interceptions down. 16:5 TD:INT rate is impressive.
QB2: Rex Grossman -
QB3: Dan Orlovsky -

RB1: Steve Slaton (59%) (14%) – Slaton has struggled to a 3.1 YPC mark on the ground, but he does have 645 total yards and 5 scores in 7 games and has been targeted a healthy 34 times. He is still an excellent PPR back and will get you a decent amount of points in standard leagues thanks to the receiving yardage.
RB2: Chris Brown (20%) (2%) – A threat to steal carries, especially near the goalline, but only touched the ball 5 times in week 7.
RB3: Ryan Moats (8%) (0%) -
RB4: Vonta Leach (0%) (4%) -

TE1: Owen Daniels (23%) – Daniels is an elite tight end and that will not change any time soon. He doesn’t have the name yet, however, so you can probably still acquire him at a discount
TE2: Joel Dreessen (4%) -
TE3: Anthony Hill (0%) -
TE4: James Casey (0%) -

WR1: Andre Johnson (29%) – Johnsons’ chest contusion is a concern, but when healthy, he is still arguably the fantasy world’s top WR option. 634 yards and 4 scores to-date.
WR2: Kevin Walter (9%) – Walter has seen just 3-4 looks the past few weeks, which should concern owners. Schaub seems to be looking to Daniels a lot more often than Walter.
WR3: Andre Davis (3%) – Davis is still the WR3, but only 3-4 looks a game are being split between him, Anderson, and Jones.
WR4: David Anderson (7%) – See Davis
WR5: Jacoby Jones (5%) – See Davis
WR6: Glenn Martinez (0%) -

Tennessee Titans

QB1: Kerry Collins – Collins might not be the starter for long and you can hardly blame the team for making a move. Collins is below average in yardage, touchdowns, and interceptions. his 5:8 TD:INT ratio is terrible.
QB2: Vince Young – Young could be the starter this weekend

RB1: Chris Johnson (61%) (13%) – Johnson continues to make his mark as a top back, racking up 95 carries and 25 looks to-date. Only issue is that he’s scored just 3 total touchdowns.
RB2: LenDale White (25%) (2%) – White has 39 carries in 6 games as Johnson’s backup
RB3: Javon Ringer (4%) (1%) – Only 8 looks so far for the rookie
RB4: Ahmard Hall (1%) (4%) -

TE1: Bo Scaife (9%) – Not much work going around for the tight ends, but Scaife is the top option, seeing a handful a game.
TE2: Alge Crumpler (10%) -
TE3: Jared Cook (5%) -
TE4: Craig Stevens (1%) -

WR1: Nate Washington (20%) – Washington has seen 3 targets one week and 12 the next. It’s been a very shaky season and that is unlikely to change the way the Tennessee offense is playing.
WR2: Justin Gage (20%) – Has just 2 catches the last 3 weeks
WR3: Kenny Britt (17%) – Britt seems to be taking over as the team’s top WR with 17 looks the last 3 weeks.
WR4: Lavelle Hawkins (0%) -
WR5: Mark Jones (1%) -

Indianapolis Colts

QB1: Peyton Manning – Manning has been on a roll this season, with yardage, touchdown, and interception rates that rank with the league’s best. 15:4 TD:INT mark is very good.
QB2: Jim Sorgi -
QB3: Curtis Painter -

RB1: Joseph Addai (57%) (13%) – Struggling to just 3.3 YPC, but Donald Brown appears to be out a few weeks, which means he will continue to get most of the looks…if not more
RB2: Donald Brown (32%) (4%) – Averagint 4.6 YPC and almost 20 yards per reception, but he’s hurt and could be out a few weeks.
RB3: Chad Simpson (4%) (0%) – Simpson has picked up a few carries here and there and is likely to replace Brown as RB2 for a few weeks.
RB4: Mike Hart (0%) (0%) – Could see work if Brown is out

TE1: Dallas Clark (22%) – Fantasy’s top tight end so far is putting up near 13 yards per reception, has 485 yards, and 3 scores.
TE2: Gijon Robinson (3%) -
TE3: Jacob Tamme (0%) -
TE4: Justin Snow (0%) -

WR1: Reggie Wayne (27%) – Wayne has already been targeted 57 times and 39 have been catches, 5 of which are touchdowns. As long as he and Manning are healthy, his production will keep up.
WR2: Pierre Garcon (13%) – 8 more targets in week 7, but only 3 were catches. He hasn’t produced much for a few weeks now
WR3: Austin Collie (16%) – Collie has been a huge contributor the last few weeks, racking up 18 catches on 22 looks for 198 yards and 4 scores over the last 3 games. He should stick as the WR3 once Gonzalez returns in a few weeks.
WR4: Hank Baskett (0%) -
WR5: Anthony Gonzalez (0%) -

Cincinnati Bengals

QB1: Carson Palmer – Right at league average in terms of yardage and interception rate, but is well above average in the touchdown department. 13:7 is the TD:INT mark.
QB2: JT O’Sullivan -
QB3: Jordan Palmer -

RB1: Cedric Benson (80%) (6%) – Benson now leads the NFL in looks and touches and he’s earned every one of them. He is racking up 4.4 YPC and has scored 5 times. Only 14 of his 178 looks are targets.
RB2: Bernard Scott (8%) (0%) – Some thought Scott would be the starter in Cincy by now, but Benson’s success makes him nothing more than a handcuff.
RB3: Brian Leonard (2%) (7%) – Only 4 carries, but has seen 16 targets
RB4: Jeremi Johnson (1%) (3%) -

TE1: John Paul Foschi (5%) – Named the starter this week, but Bengals’ tight ends aren’t a big part of the offense.
TE2: Daniel Coats (10%) – 23 targets lead the team, but that isn’t much and he’s been demoted to TE2 this week anyways.
TE3: Chase Coffman (0%) -
TE4: Clark Harris (0%) -

WR1: Chad Ochocinco (29%) – Ochocinco has hauled in 61% of his 64 targets for almost 600 yards and 5 TDs. He’s a top WR option in all formats.
WR2: Andre Caldwell (16%) – His production has been a bit too volitile for fantasy owners liking, but overall his 36 targets add up to about 5 a game, which isn’t bad for a bench player in most leagues.
WR3: Laveranues Coles (14%) – Like Caldwell, Coles is only seeing 4-5 looks a game. Coles does have 1 more score than him, but is catching a pretty hefty 20% less of his targets.
WR4: Chris Henry (10%) – Henry has been a big play threat and nothing more this season, averaging 19.6 YPR on just 11 catches.
WR5: Jerome Simpson (0%) -
WR6: Quan Cosby (0%) -

Pittsburgh Steelers

QB1: Ben Roethlisberger – Racking up yards and touchdowns at a better than average rate and sitting just better than average in interception rate. 11:6 TD:INT mark is good, but could be not elite.
QB2: Charlie Batch -
QB3: Dennis Dixon -

RB1: Rashard Mendenhall (42%) (4%) – Mendenhall should now be starting in pretty much all standard league formats. He’s racking up 5.4 YPC and has scored 4 times. He’s seen just 9 targets, which limits PPR value.
RB2: Willie Parker (32%) (2%) – Injuries and poor play have relegated him to backup duty.
RB3: Mewelde Moore (11%) (9%) – Still seeing a handful of looks a game with most of his usage coming via the passing game on 3rd down. He has 21 carries and 20 targets thus far.
RB4: Carey Davis (0%) (0%) -

TE1: Heath Miller (20%) – Miller is having an outstanding season thus far, catching 40 of the 46 passes (87%) thrown his way for 353 yards and 4 scores. Note that he’s been targeted less than a dozen fewer times than both Ward and Holmes.
TE2: Mark Spaeth (2%) -
TE3: David Johnson (0%) -

WR1: Hines Ward (24%) – Has caught an impressive 76% of his 55 targets for over 600 yards. One would have to imagine that his 4.8% TD/Reception mark will only improve.
WR2: Santonio Holmes (24%) – Has been targeted one more time than Ward, but has converted on just 54% of those looks. He is getting more than 2 more yards per reception than Ward, however.
WR3: Mike Wallace (14%) – Actually leads the team with a 17.5 YPR mark and has scored twice. He is the fourth option in the pass game, but 4-5 looks a game have been enough for him to produce enough for a bench spot in most leagues.
WR4: Limas Sweed (1%) – A non-factor
WR5: Shaun McDonald (0%) -
WR6: Stefan Logan (0%) -

Baltimore Ravens

QB1: Joe Flacco – Average numbers in the yardage department and he’s been a little better than average in terms of interceptions and touchdowns. 11:5 is the TD:INT split.
QB2: Troy Smith -
QB3: John Beck -

RB1: Ray Rice (47%) (19%) – Rice is one of the best RB options in PPR leagues right now and, although his value drops a little bit, is a must start in standard leagues as well. He has just 73 carries, but has averaged 10+ in 5 of the team’s 6 games and has 33 receptions on 43 targets. Touchdowns were an issue early, but he now has 4 in 6 games, which translates to nearly 11 over a full season.
RB2: Willis McGahee (29%) (5%) – After carrying the ball 25 times and scoring 4 touchdowns in the team’s first 2 games, McGahee has just 20 carries over the last 4 contests. He is now the backup to Rice.
RB3: Le’Ron McClain (10%) (7%) – 31 total looks in 6 games. That small workload should stay consistent.
RB4: Jalen Parmele (0%) (0%) -
RB5: Matt Lawrence (3%) (0%) -

TE1: Todd Heap (15%) – With 24 catches on 34 looks, he’s not the worst you could do at tight end, but he’s not starting material in most formats.
TE2: LJ Smith (0%) -
TE3: Edgar Jones (0%) -

WR1: Derrick Mason (20%) – Other than one bad week, he’s been a must start with 46 targets and 3 scores.
WR2: Mark Clayton (20%) – Has only converted on 45% of his targets, but note that he’s been thrown to 44 times, which is only 2 less than Mason.
WR3: Kelley Washington (12%) – How bad is Clayton’s catch rate? Washington has the same amount of receptions (20) on 18 fewer looks. Nonetheless, Washington continues to see less looks than the top 2.
WR4: Demetrius Williams (0%) -
WR5: David Tyree (0%) -

Cleveland Browns

QB1: Derek Anderson – He will continue to start if only because there are no better options. His yardage, touchdown, and interception rates all stink and that is unlikely to change. TD:INT rate is 2:7, which is horrid.
QB2: Brady Quinn – His numbers were almost all worse than Anderson’s across the board, which is almost unbelievable.
QB3: Brett Ratliff -

RB1: Jamal Lewis (45%) (4%) – Lewis continues to see the bigger chunk of the carries and although he’s averaging just 3.4 YPC, no other back is doing much better.
RB2: Jerome Harrison (35%) (11%) – Harrison had one big game, but overall he’s averaging just 3.7 YPC. He’s been effective in the passing game, catching 18 of 24 targets for 111 yards.
RB3: Lawrence Vickers (0%) (4%) -
RB4: Chris Jennings (1%) (0%) -

TE1: Robert Royal (10%) – Not much value in tight ends from Cleveland. Royal paces the group with 20 targets.
TE2: Steve Heiden (6%) -
TE3: Michael Gaines (1%) -
TE4: Greg Estandia (1%) -

WR1: Mohamed Massaquoi (20%) – 43 targets and 17.6 YPR is nice, but the 40% catch rate is not.
WR2: Chansi Stuckey (3%) – Only 6 targets since his arrival
WR3: Mike Furrey (13%) – 27 looks are 2nd most among WRs.
WR4: Josh Cribbs (9%) – Has carried the ball (13) more than he’s caught it (10).
WR5: Brian Robiskie (4%) – Up to 8 targets now, but only one was a reception

Kansas City Chiefs

QB1: Matt Cassel – Not getting the yardage on his passes, but his touchdown and interception rates are actually better than league average. 8:5 TD:INT rate has been getting worse the last few weeks.
QB2: Brodie Croyle -
QB3: Matt Gutierrez -

RB1: Jamaal Charles (11%) (9%) – Larry Johnson’s career as a member of the Chiefs might be over, which means Charles is the new starter. He’s carried it just 23 times, but was used as a weapon in the passing game with 19 targets. The Chiefs run the ball a ton, which means Charles could easily see 20 looks a game, making him a fantasy asset. Note that he is averaging 5.0 YPC, which is well better than Johnson’s 2.7 mark.
RB2: Dantrell Savage (4%) (4%) – With the exception of a 3 carry, 9 target week 2 explosion, Savage hasn’t seen much work. He will now step into the role of Charles’ backup.
RB3: Mike Cox (0%) (1%) -
RB4: Larry Johnson (65%) (8%) – He’s been a major workhorse this season, but his off the field antics mean his season might be over. His 2.7 YPC weren’t very impressive anyways, so maybe a nice face in the backfield isn’t all bad for KC.

TE1: Sean Ryan (12%) – Only 25 targets, but has scored twice on 14 receptions.
TE2: Leonard Pope (2%) -
TE3: Brad Cottam (0%) -
TE4: Jake O’Connell (2%) -

WR1: Dwayne Bowe (20%) – 29 targets the last 3 games, but it should be noted that less than half of those have been catches. 4 touchdowns is allowing him to remain as a solid WR play and he is still a great play as long as the targets keep up around 10.
WR2: Mark Bradley (14%) – Only 7 looks the last 2 weeks and it looks like he might be the WR3 next time you see this list.
WR3: Bobby Wade (18%) – Could easily be the WR2 as he’s seen 20 targets over the last 3 games. He will continue as an okay option in the deepest of PPR leagues, but that is it.
WR4: Bobby Engram (5%) – No looks since week 4.
WR5: Lance Long (2%) – Targeted 5 times in week 7, which could mean he is the WR4 now. Worth keeping an eye on.
WR6: Terrance Copper (1%) -

San Diego Chargers

QB1: Philip Rivers – At the top of his game, with outstanding marks in the yardage, touchdowns, and interception departments. His 10:3 TD:INT rate would be a little nice with a few more TDs, but it is still one of the game’s best.
QB2: Billy Volek -
QB3: Charlie Whitehurst -

RB1: LaDainian Tomlinson (45%) (7%) – 41 carries for 141 yards the last 2 weeks is not overly impressive, but at least he’s getting the looks. He’s scored just once on the season and holds a poor 3.5 YPC mark.
RB2: Darren Sproles (31%) (12%) – Averaging less than 10 looks a game since LT’s return from injury a few weeks ago. He will, however, continue to rack up yards in the passing game and via a few carries.
RB3: Michael Bennett (9%) (1%) -
RB4: Jacob Hester (4%) (1%) -
RB5: Mike Tolbert (1%) (2%) -

TE1: Antonio Gates (24%) – The most targeted player on the team, Rivers has looked to Gates on almost one quarter of his pass attempts. He’s responded well with 34 catches and a pair of scores.

Antonio Gates (85) has been targeted on 24% of Philip Rivers' pass attempts, while Chris Chambers (89) has caught just 27% of the passes thrown his way.

TE2: Brandon Manumaleuna (1%) -
TE3: Kris Wilson (0%) -

WR1: Vincent Jackson (22%) – Jackson’s ridiculous amount of long catches continues as he is averaging 19.3 YPR on 29 receptions.
WR2: Chris Chambers (14%) – Chambers has caught just 8 of the 30 passes thrown to him (27%), which is one of the worst marks you’ll ever see for a starting WR.
WR3: Legedu Naanee (8%) – Not seeing much work, but has caught 75% of the 16 targets he’s seen.
WR4: Malcom Floyd (8%) – Has 8 targets (compared to 0 for Naanee) the last 2 games, which could mean he’s back as the third WR option.
WR5: Kassim Osgood (0%) -
WR6: Craig “Buster” Davis (0%) -

Oakland Raiders

QB1: JaMarcus Russell – Russell was pulled after another poor effort in week 7, but it appears he will remain the starter for now. His touchdown and interception marks are very poor, but a product of a run heavy offense is usually a high yards per reception mark, which is something he is above average in. Only 46% of his passes have been completions and his 2:8 TD:INT ratio is terrible.
QB2: Bruce Gradkowski -
QB3: Charlie Frye -

RB1: Darren McFadden (26%) (7%) – Expected back this week, McFadden should return as the top RB option. He was averaging just 3.1 YPC, but will approach 100 total yards each week as long as he sees 15-20 looks.
RB2: Michael Bush (31%) (6%) – Leads the team in carries, but has stuck as the RB2 regardless of whether McFadden or Fargas has been the one taking most of the load.
RB3: Justin Fargas (30%) (4%) – The workhorse of the last few weeks will likely be third in line when McFadden returns. That said, his team-best 3.8 YPC likely means he won’t be completely fased out.
RB4: Gary Russell (1%) (4%) -
RB5: Luke Lawton (0%) (2%) -

TE1: Zach Miller (21%) – Seems to be the only one Russell can complete passes to, which makes him the only legitimate fantasy contributing receiver on this team. His 16 YPR mark is outstanding for TE.
TE2: Tony Stewart (2%) -
TE3: Brandon Myers (1%) -

WR1: Chaz Schilens (0%) – Was expected back in week 7, but was unable to participate. Look for him to return as the WR1 in week 9.
WR2: Louis Murphy (26%) – 46 targets are the team-high by a ton, but a 35% catch rate has allowed for only 16 receptions.
WR3: Darrius Heyward-Bey (14%) – 25 targets for the rookie, but only 4 (yes, 4) were catches.
WR4: Todd Watkins (8%) – Has caught 5 of the 15 passes thrown to him. That 33% catch rate is the 3rd best among the 4 WRs with at least 1 look this season. That isn’t saying much.
WR5: Johnnie Lee Higgins (4%) -
WR6: Javon Walker (0%) -
WR7: Nick Miller (0%) -

Denver Broncos

QB1: Kyle Orton – 0.5% interception rate is the best in the NFL among starting QBs. He is also racking up yards at an above average rate and the same can be said for touchdowns. His 9:1 TD: INT rate is impressive.
QB2: Chris Simms -
QB3: Tom Brandstater -

RB1: Knowshon Moreno (54%) (6%) – Moreno has been responsible for over half of the team’s carries and has 110 total looks on the season. His 3.8 YPC needs improvement, but it looks like the rookie will go forward as the starter.
RB2: Correll Buckhalter (25%) (8%) – Still owns one of the NFL’s best YPC marks at 6.7, which is pretty impressive over 47 carries.
RB3: LaMont Jordan (11%) (1%) – Has only seen a few carries a week.
RB4: Peyton Hillis (2%) (2%) – Total of 7 looks on the season

TE1: Tony Scheffler (10%) – Not much use for a fantasy TE seeing just 3 looks a game.
TE2: Daniel Graham (7%) -
TE3: Richard Quinn (0%) -

WR1: Brandon Marshall (22%) – Marshall continues as one of the game’s elite WRs with 29 catches on 43 targets and 4 scores.
WR2: Eddie Royal (21%) – Royal is arguably the hardest player in fantasy football to predict for. He had almost 100 catches a year ago, but this season 15 of his 41 targets all game in one game and some games he is a complete non factor. Overall, he averages over 6 looks a game, which isn’t too bad. He has some nice upside, especially in PPR leagues, but he is a gamble.
WR3: Jabar Gaffney (16%) – Has seen between 4-to-8 targets in every game this season. That is fairly consistent, but he won’t score much in this offense.
WR4: Brandon Stokley (8%) -
WR5: Brandon Lloyd (0%) -
WR6: Kenny McKinley (0%) -
