QB Aaron Rogers, Greenbay Packers

The Chicago Bears are coming Green Bay and this is the perfect grudge match to take quarterback Aaron Rogers. The fact that these two teams don’t like each other is only makes it sweeter for Rogers taking it to the Bears 27th ranked passing defense. If you haven’t been playing Rogers this year now is the time for prime pickings. He is easily going to grab a projected 18 points or higher in most leagues.

RB Eddie Lacey, Greenbay Packers

This isn’t a big stretch. For many of the same reasons listed above Lacey is the best play at running back this week. The Bears 25th ranked rushing defense is primed for the picking. Lacey has become the primary ball carrier in Green Bay. With Rogers at Quarterback, Lacey will face few if any 8 or 9 man fronts. This is a breakout game opportunity for Lacey. He is a projected 15-point play this week.

WR Keenan Allen, San Diego

The Redskins have the 28th ranked passing defense and Allen has Phillip Rivers throwing him the ball. That is enough to make Allen a very hot read this week. The Redskins struggling defense and inconsistent offense will make Allen a prime target all day. Allen projects 12 points this week.

TE Antonio Gates, San Diego

Antonio Gates is still one of the games premiere tight ends. Playing him against the Redskins makes perfect sense. Tight ends rarely take over games in fantasy football, but Gates will get several targets in the redzone. The Redskins have allowed tight ends an average of 60 yards a game. Expect Gates  to get that and possible a score or two. Gates projects a 13 points this week.

Defense Carolina Panthers

The Panthers are third in scoring defense and they play the Falcons. There is no love between these two teams. The Falcons are beat on the offensive line, have wide receivers injuries and the Panthers have a solid pass rush and great run defense. This should be a back alley beating. The sky is the limit here and the Panthers are projected to score 15 points.
