RECORD LAST WEEK: 9-11 (Week 3)
OVERALL: 28-27-1
Back to work after a Week 4 hiatus
Minnesota at Green Bay
Start: Aaron Rodgers, QB, GB
He’s been up and down this season, but a home game against Minnesota has been a strength for him in the past.
Sit: Teddy Bridgewater, QB, MIN
While he was hot in his first start last week, he’s hobbled on a short week.
Chicago at Carolina
Start: Cam Newton, QB, CAR
The Bears pass defense (outside of Kyle Fuller) couldn’t stop a high school team right now. With Williams and Stewart hurt, it’s the Cam Show for Carolina
Sit: Matt Forte, RB, CHI
Forte is suffering a lot right now with the Bears inability to rush the football.
Cleveland at Tennessee
Start: Cleveland Defense
The Titans looked lost last week against Indy. Even if Locker returns, it won’t be enough.
Sit: Any Tennessee Running Back
See above. Bishop Sankey can’t get any traction right now.
St. Louis at Philadelphia
Start: Jeremy Maclin, WR, PHI
This should be a big game for Nick Foles, and Maclin is the lead benefactor
Sit: Zac Stacy, RB, STL
With Austin Davis slinging the ball as well as he has been, Stacy just isn’t getting the touches.
Atlanta at New York (N)
Start: Matt Ryan, QB, ATL
While Eli Manning went crazy last week and Ryan fell back to Earth, I can see the reverse happening this week.
Sit: Rashad Jennings, RB, NYG
He went berserk on the Redskins last week. I don’t see it happening again.
Tampa Bay at New Orleans
Start: Jimmy Graham, TE, NO
Drew Brees slings the ball to a lot of targets, but Graham is consistently his favorite, and will be again against a battered Tampa defense.
Sit: Doug Martin, RB, TB
Mike Glennon was strong though the air last week, and Tampa will find itself behind a lot this week.
Houston at Dallas
Start: DeMarco Murray, RB, DAL
No running back is more on fire right now than Murray, fumbles and all.
Sit: Houston Defense
J.J. Watt cannot play Superman for the Texans every week. This one could get ugly.
Buffalo at Detroit
Start: Calvin Johnson, WR, DET
He was held in check last week. Expect him to explode against a reeling Buffalo team.
Sit: Kyle Orton, QB, BUF
Kyle Orton versus the Detroit pass rush? Nope. This is what nightmares are made of.
Baltimore at Indianapolis
Start: Andrew Luck, QB, IND
Baltimore is 24th in the league against the pass. Luck is on fire. Enough said.
Sit: Baltimore Defense
The Colts are scoring at a crazy rate. Until Luck cools off, opposing defenses are bad starts.
Pittsburgh at Jacksonville
Start: Pittsburgh Defense
Blake Bortles was okay last week, but interceptions will be a part of his growing process.
Sit: Allen Hurns, WR, JAX
Until Bortles is more comfortable, Hurns will only have his Week 1 to look back on.
Seattle at Washington
Start: Russell Wilson, QB, SEA
Did you SEE what Eli Manning did to them?
Sit: Kirk Cousins, QB, WSH
You can’t trust Cousins against the best pair of safeties in the NFL.
