#2 Pierre Garcon - (#6 on Fantasy Pros Consensus Rankings)
It seems like I am never quite in sync with the consensus on Garcon. Either way, he has played at a fantastic level the past few weeks. There is no reason at all to think he will slow down with this matchup. With some other matchups, he flies up the rankings for me.

#7 Josh Gordon - (#16 on Fantasy Pros)
Obviously a bit of a risky call here, but the Bengals are more than capable of giving up some big plays to a burner like Gordon. Last week Torrey Smith caught his first touchdown in five weeks against the Bengals. I expect Gordon to also find the endzone with even more yardage.

#8 Brandon Marshall - (#3 on Fantasy Pros)
This is a matchup that will test Josh McCown. Besides a slip up against the Browns last week, and the atrocity in Denver - The Ravens have been excellent at preventing passing touchdowns. Even though Josh McCown has performed admirably in a few games, I have my doubts about just how much scoring Marshall can do here.

#10 AJ Green - (#5 on Fantasy Pros)
This ranking is nothing but pure respect for Joe Haden. Green saw 15 targets against the Browns earlier this year and only managed 51 yards. For that to change, Green will have to rely on Dalton to make some perfect throws. No thanks.

#5 Wes Welker / #12 Demaryius Thomas - (#10/#7 on Fantasy Pros)
The Chiefs have some good corners. While I expect the Broncos to perform well, the touchdowns rarely stay consistent in Denver from week-to-week. I believe the Chiefs have the athleticism to keep up with Demaryius, but Welker's route running and experience should be a key advantage in the middle. I guess its somewhat of a gut call, but I feel pretty good about it.

Quick thoughts....I think Roddy White will be the one facing Revis Island, which should lead to a pretty good game for Harry Douglas. A bit of a risk though. Riley Cooper faces a high chance for regression. Nick Foles really seems to like him, but the touchdown rate can't last forever. As you can see, I'm not super high on Percy Harvin this week. Consensus is that he should be pretty limited in snaps. Thats not a kiss of death, but with Russell Wilson being a guy that likes to spread the ball around it doesn't bode well. This week will be big in what I think of rookies DeAndre Hopkins and Aaron Dobson going forward. Hopkins has the much better matchup, but Dobson has the better QB and they seem to be developing a connection. I'm very interested in how it will play out. This is the lowest I've been on Hakeem Nicks and Rueben Randle is right behind him. I'm pretty certain one of them will be a good play, but I'd rather not gamble on finding out which one.
