Quarterback:

• Donovan McNabb - I have seen a lot of sites rank him in the upper middle tier of quarterbacks. In my opinion, he is still amongst the elite QBs as long as he remains healthy. Green Bay will be reminded of that fact this week. McNabb has a history of big games against the Packers and this weekend should be more of the same.
• Jay Cutler - The revamped Buffalo defense will have a tough time against Walker and Marshall. This should benefit Cutler in the first game of what could be his breakout season.

Running Backs:

• Deuce McAllister - The matchup with the Colts is filled with key Fantasy contributors, but Reggie Bush has had a lot of hype during this off season. How many times have you seen the commercial featuring Bush and Manning? Deuce is still a very good back and should get his fair share of yardage and goal line carries.
• Lamont Jordan - Detroit had one of the worst run defenses last season. Jordan has a chip on his shoulder and with 4 free games before his main competition steps on the field, he wants to solidify his hold of the starting RB duties. Justin Griffith leading the way through the holes is also a plus.

Wide Receivers:

• Mark Clayton - He had a solid season last year. Historically, the third year is the breakout year for talented receivers. Maybe this is his year. The shotty Cincy secondary will not hurt his cause.
• Santonio Holmes - Pittsburgh is supposed to run more of a wide open offense this year. With Hines Ward being more of a possession receiver at this point in his career, this will benefit the former OSU star. Cleveland’s best DB getting arrested can also lead some mental lapses in coverage.
• Kevin Curtis - With many pegging Reggie Brown as the #1 guy in Philly, Curtis should be able to use his blazing speed to catch a bomb or two against an average Green Bay secondary. McNabb will be eager to prove that he is back.

Tight End:

• Randy McMichael - McMichael was a great TE in Miami until he was lost during the brief Saban era. With Bennett nursing an injury and Holt not at 100%, Bulger will be able to use this weapon to expose the Panther linebacking core.

Kicker:

• Olindo Mare - Another former Dolphin that should shine with their new team. With all of the point going around during the match up with the revamped Colts defense, plenty of kicks will be in the air.

Defense

• Philly - Jim Johnson always pushes the envelope and playing against a quarterback that does the same usually results in plenty of opportunities for a Pick 6.

Leave These Guys on The Pine:

• Brett Favre - Playing against a turnover happy defense with an unproven rushing attack is not good.
• Marshawn Lynch - It will take time for his new line to gel and the improved Denver defense will make for a long day at the office for Lynch.
• Terry Glenn - Is this the year that the torch is passed to Patrick Crayton?
