1. Russell Wilson vs. Oakland
2. Andrew Luck @ Giants
3. Andy Dalton vs. Jacksonville

Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks will bounce back this week and start playing like the Super Bowl team they are. Oakland can't seem to get it done on both sides of the football and if the Seattle defense can turn the ball over for Russell Wilson, he will have a great game and produce over 30 points in fantasy.

Andrew Luck is a fantasy machine; he is everything you want in a starter, always throwing multiple touchdowns and most of the time throwing for over 300 yards. I can see TY Hilton catching a few touchdown passes Monday night against the Giants. If the Giants play as bad as they did against the Eagles a couple Sunday nights ago, then Andrew Luck will be scoring way over 30 points in Fantasy. 

Andy Dalton is playing one of the worst teams in the NFL this week at home. Blake Bortles can't seem to keep the ball in his possession, he has thrown 12 interceptions and 6 touchdowns in the first 8 games of the season and it is only going to get worst from here on out. If Andy Dalton can capitalize on these turnovers and slug a few touchdowns to Sanu or AJ Green then Andy Dalton could be looking at scoring over 30 fantasy points.

4. Peyton Manning @ New England
5. Ben Roethlisberger vs. Baltimore
6. Tom Brady vs. Denver

Peyton Manning is playing Tom Brady this week and they are both playing at their highest levels with 14 touchdowns 0 interceptions and 4 wins in October. However, Peyton Manning is breaking records and is making names out of his receivers with all the touchdown passes he throws. I see him out performing Tom Brady during their head to head matchup. Peyton will throw at least 2 touchdown passes with over 300 yards. He will score just under 30 points in fantasy this week.

Ben Roethlisberger played flawlessly last week against the Colts. I see him playing great again but not 5 touchdowns good. He will throw at least 2-3 touchdowns and he will score around 25-30 points in fantasy. 

Tom Brady is playing at home against a defense that is ranked #3 and it will be a tough game for him. He will find the end zone at least twice with the help of Gronk and Edelman but he will also throw at least 1 interception against this powerhouse defense. However, he is still going to put up some numbers and score around a 25 in fantasy.

7. Philip Rivers @Miami
8. Nick Foles @ Houston
9. Colin Kaepernick vs. St. Louis

Philip Rivers and the Chargers receivers are going to have a great day in Miami. Philip will find the end zone at least twice on long drives down the field running the ball more than throwing. He will record fewer than 200 passing yards and at least 1 touchdown pass but no more than 3. Miami has shown they can play against top teams at home like New England who they embarrassed in the first game of the season and they also gave Aaron Rodgers a run for his money, but couldn't close out the game. 

Nick Foles is slowly coming back to being the Nick Foles he was last year with 27 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Jeremy Maclin will be a huge playmaker for Nick Foles while they are in Houston. Zach Ertz will be a huge help for Foles because Ertz also seems to get open and he needs someone like that against the Texans defensive line. Foles will throw at least 2 touchdowns and as an Eagles fan I hope he doesn't throw an interception, but I have a feeling it is going to happen. So Foles will get at least 1 interception and throw at least 2 touchdown passes. Foles will Score around a 25 for fantasy this week.

That last time Colin Kaepernick and the 49ers took on the Rams, Kaepernick threw 3 touchdown passes with 343 yards and a win on Monday night. I see him having a similar game and scoring around 25 for fantasy points at home against the Rams.

Sleeper #10: Michael Vick

As an Eagles Fan, I have seen Michael Vick do great things for my team and I have also seen him have terrible games. This man turns the ball over so much he practically gives the ball away to the defense. I see him pulling away from this game with 2-3 touchdowns with either Decker or Harvin making huge plays for this Jets team. I also see Vick throwing 1-2 interceptions, its not his fault it’s just the way Michael Vick plays football. He will be my sleeper this week because he has the weapons to be successful and I think he is going to figure that out this week in Kansas City.
