Close one. Matthew Berry gets the slight edge here, but solid suggestions from both of us.

This Week
1) Robert Griffin (44.8 Percent Owned)
A pretty easy match-up for RG3 and we all know his potential.

2) Josh McCown (5.6 Percent Owned)
This is a hard suggestion to make... But he looked good last week and the offense is starting to actually put some things together.

3) Mark Sanchez (42.3 Percent Owned)
This offense will score points... And they will probably be playing from behind. Barring an implosion, Sanchez should be a decent start.

Another close one that goes to Berry.

This Week
1) Jonathan Stewart (26.6 Percent Owned)
Stewart looked like the best Carolina RB last week and they have a great match-up. DeAngelo Williams might be a good play as well, but Williams has a lot more risk.

2) Tre Mason (43.7 Percent Owned)
It's hot-hand time at RB and Mason is the hot-hand. I'd feel comfortable rolling with him this week.

3) Bryce Brown (6.1 Percent Owned)
Fred Jackson hasn't practiced... Admittedly, it's probably because the game is Thursday and they want him to rest... But I still doubt Jackson is 100% yet. Brown should get some chances and he showed last week that he has the raw talent to make plays... He just needs to hold onto the freaking ball. This was the same problem he had in Philly. He's a fumble machine. I think he's on a short leash, but the Bills would be foolish to keep him on the bench if Jackson is limited.

Yet another close one with the edge going to Berry. I think I'll stop suggesting Stevie. He's simply too TD dependent and the Niners offense has been struggling.

This Week
1) Andrew Hawkins (46.3 Percent Owned)
It looks like he's going to play and it's a great match-up. Cleveland is full of mediocre WRs, but I think Hawkins is the guy when he's healthy.

2) Greg Jennings (43.6 Percent Owned)
Jennings gets plenty of targets in the Vikings offense and the match-up is decent. Things will get interesting if Kyle Rudolph plays. On one hand, this should draw coverage to Rudolph... On the other, Rudolph becomes the top threat in the red zone. Use caution here... But I think it's a good play.

3) Jordan Matthews (33.4 Percent Owned)
Coming off a big week for Matthews and going into a game where I think Philly will be throwing most of the game... He looks like the guy Sanchez has the connection with. High upside here.

Yet another small victory for Berry. He's got my number this week.

This Week
1) Kyle Rudolph (11.6 Percent Owned)
There's no guarantee that he plays... But if he does, he's the biggest red zone option for the Vikings.

2) Jordan Reed (44.7 Percent Owned)
Not an amazing match-up... But he's the most talented of all the tight ends that are less than 50% owned. Sometimes skill is more important than anything else.

3) Tim Wright (4.5 Percent Owned)
Wright is completely TD dependent. But I've got a hunch that he finds the end zone this week.

Matthew Berry and I suggested the same defenses last week, so there's not much to say. They were decent suggestions.

This Week
1) Washington Team (31.7 Percent Owned)
The Jaguars are on a bye this week, which makes finding a defense more difficult. Washington plays the Buccaneers, which I think has an improving offense... But it's still a good match-up.

2) San Diego Chargers (31.7 Percent Owned)
It's hard to suggest a defense that has been in the negatives the past 2 weeks... But they're playing the Raiders. Oakland is terrible.

3) Cleveland Browns (32 Percent Owned)
The Browns have a pretty good defense and Houston is starting Ryan Mallett this week. Turnovers are almost guaranteed.
