#3 Victor Cruz - (#8 on ESPN Rankings)
After a big start to the year, Cruz has been average lately. He's still getting you 5 points a game which is a nice floor for any player. In all four games in his career before week 5 vs. the Eagles, Cruz had scored a touchdown. He also had at least 100 yards in 3 of 4 games in the past two years. The Eagles defense is not good. I would be very surprised if they can keep Cruz quiet again.

#7 AJ Green - (#3 on ESPN Rankings)
Green has been about flawless in the past two games. His success rides on that of Dalton's. Unfortunately Dalton will face an extremely tough Jets defense. This ranking isn't really about Green, but I expect Dalton to struggle mightily against pressure.

#12 Anquan Boldin - (#17 on ESPN Rankings)
Boldin has played very poorly against tougher defenses, and very well against the lesser D's. Well if you weren't aware, the Jags fall into the latter category. The 49ers esentially throw to one WR only (After Boldin, Kyle Williams is 2nd with 10 catches). The Jags won't be able to stop it. Enjoy.

#14 Terrance Williams - (#21 on ESPN Rankings)
It looks like Miles Austin might play again, but he has been basically useless. The one good thing he has done is open things up for Williams. Williams now has touchdowns in three straight games and it appears Tony Romo is growing very comfortable with him. With one of the best in the game on the other side of this offense, Williams should have plenty of opportunities.

#24 Harry Douglas - (#18 on ESPN Rankings)
The Falcons face a much tougher Cardinals defense this week. I fully believe in Matt Ryan, but I expect him to spread the ball around more this week, something he isn't afraid to do if he has to.

Going deeper...A lot of people still think highly of Larry Fitzgerald & Marques Colston. So do I, but I'm a bit lower on them until I see their situations improve. Just a gut call, but Dwayne Bowe has a better game with 6+ catches. Sam Bradford was one of the best at spreading the ball around, unfortunately (as with Russell Wilson), it held back any WRs from having huge games this year. Kellen Clemens will probably find a favorite target. I expect it to be Chris Givens. Leonard Hankerson should be a nice sneaky play as the #2 in Denver, but for a really deep play, Aldrick Robinson is strictly a deep threat. You can certainly burn the Broncos.
