Sam Bradford at Carolina
Andy Dalton at Detroit
Joe Flacco at Pittsburgh
Ben Roethlisberger vs. Baltimore
Thaddeus Lewis at Miami
Geno Smith vs. New England

I’m extremely curious to see what Peyton does in his old building this weekend. I figured on a big game in Week 1 due to the revenge factor, but I can’t decide how the emotion might play into this matchup. Either way, should be a fun one to watch.

The DeAngelo Williams revival continues at least for another week as we wait for Jonathan Stewart’s return. Too bad he still can’t find the end zone. I’ll bet Joseph Randle finds it for the Cowboys this weekend. Maybe even twice.

Dez Bryant at Philadelphia
Josh Gordon at Green Bay
Brandon Marshall at Washington

Stephen Hill vs. New England
Donnie Avery vs. Houston
Jacoby Jones at Pittsburgh
Marvin Jones at Detroit
Jeremy Kerley vs. New England
Riley Cooper vs. Dallas
Vincent Brown at Jacksonville
Santana Moss vs. Chicago
Greg Little at Green Bay
Harry Douglas vs. Tampa Bay
Myles White vs. Cleveland
Cecil Shorts vs. San Diego

Yep, that’s Justin Blackmon and Josh Gordon both in my top five. Until they stop being targeted so much and so talented, I’m going to have a hard time keeping either out of my top 15 regardless of matchup. Harry Douglas is looking like the No. 1 receiver for Atlanta this week, but a No. 3 WR out of place who thus draws Darrelle Revis is hardly my idea of a good time.

Tight Ends

Vernon Davis at Tennessee
Jordan Cameron at Green Bay
Antonio Gates at Jacksonville
Tony Gonzalez vs. Tampa Bay
Julius Thomas at Indianapolis
Rob Gronkowski at NY Jets
Jason Witten at Philadelphia
Martellus Bennett at Washington
Scott Chandler at Miami
Kyle Rudolph at NY Giants
Heath Miller vs. Baltimore
Jermichael Finley vs. Cleveland
Charles Clay vs. Buffalo
Timothy Wright at Atlanta
Brent Celek vs. Dallas
Jordan Reed vs. Chicago
Greg Olsen vs. St. Louis
Jeff Cumberland vs New England
Coby Fleener vs. Denver
Sean McGrath vs. Houston
Dallas Clark at Pittsburgh
Brandon Myers vs. Minnesota
Garrett Graham vs. St. Louis
Joseph Fauria vs. Cincinnati
Jared Cook at Carolina

I couldn’t not have Joseph Fauria in my rankings after three touchdowns last week, but until he starts getting targets on a somewhat frequent basis he’s not trustworthy as a fantasy asset. Scott Chandler and Kyle Rudolph are a couple nice waiver wire options this week if you’re replacing Jimmy Graham during New Orleans’ bye.
