QUARTERBACKS

Tom Brady $8,900 - The Broncos and Patriots game is going to be must see TV and should be one that is filled with plenty of scoring by both future hall of fame quarterbacks. Brady is priced right at $8,900 and offers a lot of upside even at that high price as this game is expected to be the highest scoring game of the week. You will want to make sure you have 2-4 players in your lineup from this game alone.

Cam Newton $8,300 - Newton showed he has really developed into a leader for the Panthers this year. Last week's game against the Patriots was one of the best games of the season and Newton stood toe to toe with Tom Brady and ended up out dueling him while putting up 3 touchdown passes. The Panthers are on a roll now and they play the Dolphins this week in a very winnable game and one that could continue to see Newton put up some big fantasy points.

Colin Kaepernick $7,900 - Kaepernick has had a miserable season so far in 2013 and has noticeable dropped off in hype and production from last year. A primetime game against Washington is bound to get him back on track and find the endzone on multiple occasions. He is good value right now and is a perfect player to plug in as a candidate to blow up this week.

Value Plays: Mike Glennon $7,100, Alex Smith $6,200

RUNNING BACKS

Matt Forte $8,800 - Forte is been one of the most consistent RB's this season and continues to be a huge part of the Bears offense each week. He has a great matchup this week against the Rams and is my favorite RB in the upper tier pricing. With Cutler still sidelined the Bears will continue to be conservative and use their best players on offense to make plays and move the ball. Forte should have plenty of opportunities rushing and receiving out of the backfield and is well worth his $8,800 price.

Zac Stacy $7,400 - Everyone is running and finding the endzone against the Bears this season and to ignore Stacy and his modest price you would be a fool. Stacy has been one of the nicest rookie surprises this year and has been able to stay healthy and fresh and should be in for a big workload this weekend.

Frank Gore $6,800 - FanDuel continues to disrespect Gore each week always keeping him in the $6,000 - $7,000 range. He continues to see a heavy dose of carries and looks good doing so and is hard to not consider this week against Washington's soft run defense. It is hard to imagine Gore not finding the endzone at least once on Monday night.

Eddie Lacy $6,600 - If Rodgers was still starting and not injured, Lacy would be an even better option. Still at the low price of $6,600 and with a fantastic matchup against the Vikings it is hard to ignore his potential for a huge fantasy day. Lacy has been running really hard every time he is giving a chance and right now he may be the best chance for the Packers to weather the storm and stay afloat while Rodgers recovers from injury.

Value Plays: Andre Brown $6,800, Ben Tate $6,500, Shane Vereen $6,200, Andre Ellington $5,600

WIDE RECEIVERS

Vincent Jackson $8,000 - In my opinion Jackson has the best fantasy matchup of all the positions this week. He continues to see a crazy number of targets and is finding the endzone a very nice clip. This week's matchup against the Lions is probably his best yet and predicting a fantasy day of 6/100/1 is only his floor. The Lions secondary continues to allow opposing receivers to put up huge fantasy numbers and this week should be no different with the fact that Jackson is on fire right now as well.

Andre Johnson $7,700 - The Texans season has been a very rocky one and their typical brand of football of running the ball and relying on their defense has been compromised. They continue to throw the ball down field and Johnson has been a huge benefactor to that seeing plenty of targets and making big plays. They are often down in games and have to go to the air to try to stay in the game, and this week they play the Jaguars so what looks like a blow out on paper may in fact be another close game with both teams airing the ball out.

Danny Amendola $6,700 - Like I said earlier with Tom Brady, you want a bunch of pieces from this game, and a guy like Amendola will have opportunities to make plenty of catches and help move the ball quickly down field. He is priced really nice at only $6,700 and has the makings of being a WR1 this week against the Broncos.

Eric Decker $5,800 - With Wes Welker banged up and Demaryius Thomas likely lined up next to Aqib Talib, Decker may be in line for a nice breakout game. He is a very high end WR2 this week with a great matchup in a game that looks to be a shoot out style high scoring affair.

Kendall Wright $5,400 - Kendall Wright continues to be devalued and is priced at a ridiculous $5,400 amount. He sees a large amount of the Titans targets each week and continues to make catches in the intermediate level. With the amount of balls thrown his way it is only a matter of time before he breaks one or two of them and puts up a massive fantasy day.

Value Plays: Anquan Boldin $5,900, T.Y. Hilton $6,700, Victor Cruz $6,800, Dwayne Bowe $5,000

TIGHT ENDS

Rob Gronkowski $8,200 - He is easily the top TE on the board this weekend. Brady will be looking his way often on Sunday night and if the Patriots are going to keep up to the Broncos, Gronkowski is going to be needed all over the field.

Vernon Davis $6,100 - Vernon Davis is the best receiving option for the 49ers and with a TE friendly matchup against Washington and a modest $6,100 price he has to be considered in your lineup. He is a nice alternative play if you want to fade Gronkowski, as he saves you a ton of salary cap to allocate to other positions.

Value Plays: Greg Olsen $5,800

KICKERS

Justin Tucker $5,000 - Tucker has been the best player on the Ravens offense this season and to find a kicker that is only $5,000 and plays against the Jets it is hard to pass that up.

Phil Dawson $5,000 - The 49ers should be able to move the ball well on Monday night and Dawson will likely have at least a couple shots at kicking some field goals.

Value Play: Rob Bironas $5,000

DEFENSE

Carolina Panthers $5,700 - The Panthers as a team are playing great football right now, and most of the credit has to be given to their defense. This week they play the Dolphins who have lost half of their offensive line so look for the Panthers to get to the QB with ease and make some big defensive plays.

Green Bay Packers $5,000 - The Packers are at minimal salary and worth a play this week at home against a lack luster Vikings offense.

Value Plays: Baltimore Ravens $5,300
