Marshall will have continued success this week vs. an inferior Patriot secondary..

1) Roddy White – ATL – WR
White continues to dominate the majority of Matt Ryan’s attention. Through three weeks, he leads the NFL in targets (41). He should have continued success this weekend vs. a Niner defense that has been a disappointment thus far. Tony Gonzalez emerged last week and should provide White with some defensive respite. He’ll find pay-dirt once again.

2) Brandon Marshall – MIA – WR
Chad Henne finally stepped up and realized that his success rides solely on his ability to get Brandon Marshall the ball. Marshall made the most of Darrelle Revis’ absence and showed why he was a Top 5 Brotherhood favorite entering the season. New England’s secondary is extremely young and inexperienced. Marshall shall once again take advantage of a favorable situation.

3) DeSean Jackson – PHI – WR
After a frustrating Week 1, DeSean has exploded pulling down 9 catches for 288 yards and 2 scores in the last 2 weeks. Expect his success to continue vs. a Washington secondary that has allowed very generous stats to opposing pass-catchers.

4) Randy Moss – NEP – WR
Moss had only 2 catches last week, but they both went for scores. Brady has become more comfortable with other play-makers in the offense, but Moss will continue to be the teams best deep threat. Miami’s secondary was made to look silly by an inferior Jets receiving corps. Moss and Co. should have a day.

5) Reggie Wayne – IND – WR
Wayne was held in check by Champ last week, but Jacksonville has no one close to capable of covering him. Garcon’s absence has been negated by Austin Collie’s play. Opposing defenses will eventually have to game plan to stop not only Wayne, but Clark and Collie – leaving the vet with more desirable match-ups.

6) Austin Collie – IND – WR
He’s pulled down 27 catches for 359 yards and 4 TDs in 3 games. Pierre who? Collie has made the most of his teammate’s absence. While Wayne was being blanketed by Champ Baily last week, Collie pulled down 12 grabs for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns. Peyton Manning really trusts the kid. The Colts should have their way with a Jags defense that has many gaps.

7) Greg Jennings – GRE – WR
Jennings did little in his Monday Night performance vs. the Bears. Had it not been for his visit to the end-zone, owners would be enraged. Things should change this week as the Pack squares off vs. the Detroit Lions. Jennings should have no trouble finding deep opportunities. Two scores wouldn’t surprise me, but neither would TE Jermichael Finley out-producing him.

8) Anquan Boldin – BAL – WR
8 catches for 142 yards and 3 scores. That’s some stat line. Ray Rice’s decrease in production is due in part to Flacco’s increasingly intense relationship with his new wide-out. Baltimore is becoming more well-balanced. Pitt has stopped nearly everybody, but Boldin appears unstoppable at the moment.

9) Andre Johnson – HOU – WR
Will he play? He’s been held out of practice all week, but he still remains insistent that he’ll strap up. He admitted feeling worse than last week which doesn’t sound good. To make things worse, he’ll see Nnamdi in coverage. If you’re an owner, you obviously want his production, but looking at the long term, you almost want him to sit so he can heal and be 100% going forward. If you play him, there is the risk that he gets dinged up in the 1st quarter and you’re left with little to no points… It is a risk, but there is no one in the league other than Andre that I’d be willing to take that risk with. Stay tuned.

10) Larry Fitzgerald – ARI – WR
Despite a team in complete disarray, Fitz has managed to put together some solid fantasy production. The injuries to both Steve Breaston and Early Doucet will force Derrick Anderson to become even more reliant on his top receiver. He’ll face consistent double-teams, but if there is anyone who can beat them, it’s Fitz.

11) Santana Moss – WAS – WR
Moss looks like a new man this season. Philly’s cover-men like to take risks. Hopefully Santana will make them pay. He’s been a pleasant over-achiever thus far. We expect his success to continue.

12) Wes Welker – NEP – WR
Wes Welker has quieted down a lil since his courageous return, but the New England offense runs through him. His 4 catch performance is the lowest that I can remember. TE Aaron Hernandez appears to be stealing some targets. His yardage totals have been less than average, but his 3 visits to the end-zone was something that no one expected. If he can remain a focal piece in the red-zone, 5-plus catches and a potential score could be an every week expectation.

13) Calvin Johnson – DET – WR
The injuries to Matt Stafford and Jahvid Best will hurt Calvin’s ability to shed double-teams. Charles Woodson will have the difficult task of stopping the Decepticon Leader, but it’ll be a lot easier to do so with a safety doubling deep. With little play-maker assistance, Green Bay’s sole objective will be to stop Megatron. It’ll be a difficult task, but they have the defensive capabilities to do it.

14) Malcom Floyd – SDC – WR
Floyd is making everyone in San Diego forget about the absence of Vincent Jackson. VJack thought that he was irreplaceable, but the Chargers thought differently and Malcom Floyd is the reason why. Ryan Matthews’ injury has forced the Bolts to be more pass-dependant. It has allowed Rivers to develop a relationship with his new WR1. Gates will continue to be the primary, but Floyd is a week-in and week-out solid start. Play him with confidence.

15) Hakeem Nicks – NYG – WR
Nicks has had a year thus far, but Mario Manningham’s surprising play has limited his targets. He’s made the most of those that he’s received, scoring 4 times already this season, but he’ll have to further separate himself from his teammate if he wants to keep that production going.

16) Marques Colston – NOR – WR
New Orleans’ offense just isn’t hitting it’s stride just yet. The extent of Pierre Thomas’ injury is still fairly unknown, but if he undergoes any set backs, it’ll force the team to be more pass reliant than they already are. Colston has the stature and talent to be a beast, but he’s being under-utilized in this multi-talented receiving unit. He’s yet to find the end-zone, but that should change this week vs. a Panther secondary that has allowed plenty of deep scores.

17) Chad Ochocinco – CIN – WR
The Browns allowed Anquan Boldin to find pay-dirt three times last week. Ocho won’t put up those type of numbers, but he should have better production than he has of late. Palmer continues to struggle despite the upgrade of his supporting cast. T.O. has started to voice frustration… When will Chad chime in?

18) Steve Smith – NYG – WR
Smith looked to return to his 09 form last week as he piled up 103 yards on 9 receptions. This is a huge game for the struggling Giants. The NFC East as a whole has been struggling, but the Giants need to pull out a win vs. the Bears this week if they want to stay competitive. Smith needs to be part of their game-plan if they have any intentions of winning.

19) Jeremy Maclin – PHI – WR
Maclin has erupted for 4 scores this season. He’s only caught 11 balls on the year, but when nearly half of them lead to 6, no ones complaining. This week’s match-up vs. the Skins should lead to some more generous stats.

20) Steve Smith – CAR – WR
Smith suffered in his first game with his new rookie QB, but give it time. He’s been used to playing with a below-average thrower and no supporting cast. Carolina will be forced to air it out if they have any hopes of staying with New Orleans.

21) Johnny Knox – CHI – WR
Know showed some glimpses of why he was on nearly every one’s sleeper boards. He’s yet to break the deep ball, but it will eventually arise. For fantasy owners hopefully it is sooner rather than later.

22) Donald Driver – GRE – WR
His 9 catch outing last week was quite impressive. The old guy still has much production in the tank. Expect another week of solid stats vs. the Lions anemic defense. With little support from the running game, Driver’s dump catches over the middle has helped move the chains.

23) Mark Clayton – STL – WR
Clayton has been one of the more pleasant surprises of this fantasy season. From a Baltimore bench-rider to WR1 in St. Louis, Clayton has proven to be a weekly fantasy start. Sam Bradford has become heavily dependent on the new comer.

24) Kevin Walter – HOU – WR
Walter will have a game whether or not Andre plays, but he’ll have an even better outing if his superstar teammate sits. He’s scores in three straight. With Owen Daniels’ continued health struggles, we’re willing to bet Walter lengthens the streak to 4.

25) Hines Ward – PIT – WR
Ward was able to salvage a down day by finding the end-zone last week. Charlie Batch exceeded expectations, but a very difficult match-up vs. Baltimore could pose some problems. Ward usually steps up in these type of inter-divisional games, but 4 catches over the last 2 weeks is a little concerning.

26) Mike Wallace – PIT – WR
We thought that we would have to wait for Big Ben to return, for Wallace’s fantasy value to climb back up, but Charlie Batch displayed a surprisingly accurate deep ball. Batch played amazingly as the Steelers’ last resort at QB. 3 catches for 100 yards and 2 scores was impressive, but a repeat performance vs. the stingy Ravens is not likely.

27) Jacoby Jones – HOU – WR
Jones saw a lot of preseason action as the Texans’ WR1 as they waited on AJ to be ready to go. Jones has shown big-play ability from the get-go, but lacked consistency and maturity. He’s shown a lot in his supporting role and is more than capable of stepping up if the need arises and Johnson is unable to go.

28) Mike Sims-Walker – JAC – WR
MSW has turned into an inconsistent streaky player. This offense cannot be trusted for reliable statistics on a week-in and week-out basis. I don’t trust his quarterback for a second. The Colts should blow the Jags out the water, forcing Garrard and Co. to turn to the air.

29) Eddie Royal – DEN – WR
It appears that the Denver receiving situation will be very difficult to predict in terms of who will produce on a weekly basis. Royal is the best bet. We’ve seen Gaffney, Lloyd and Thomas all have strong days and then disappear, but Royal should remain a contributor.

30) Terrell Owens – CIN – WR
T.O. is starting to complain about his role in the offense. Everyone in Cincy wants their fair share of the rock. Palmer is far from his prime and will continue to struggle. Benson is, and should remain the focus of this offense. Jordan Shipley’s performance will take away targets.

31) Michael Crabtree – SFO – WR
32) Louis Murphy – OAK – WR
33) Derrick Mason – BAL – WR
34) Lance Moore – NOR – WR
35) Brandon Lloyd – DEN – WR
36) Mario Manningham – NYG – WR
37) Jabar Gaffney – DEN – WR
38) Braylon Edwards – NYJ – WR
39) Legedu Naanee – SDC – WR
40) Devin Hester – CHI – WR
41) Mike Thomas – JAC – WR
42) Danny Amendola – STL – WR
43) Demaryius Thomas – DEN – WR
44) Davone Bess – MIA – WR
45) Darrius Heyward-Bey – OAK – WR
46) Nate Washington – TEN – WR
47) Jerricho Cotchery – NYJ – WR
48) Robert Meachem – NOR – WR

59) Deon Butler – SEA – WR
60) Mohamed Massaquoi – CLE – WR
61) Kenny Britt – TEN – WR
62) Golden Tate – SEA – WR
