Kurt Warner has absolutely crushed it the last two weeks, throwing for 601 yards, 7 TDs and 0 INT. He was 29-of-38 for 340 yards with 2 TDs against Seattle. He hasn't thrown for less than 230 yards in a game and is clearly a No. 1 QB option, ranking among the top five quarterbacks in completions, yards and TDs.
Hightower had 10 rushes for 37 yards and 5 catches for 21 yards against Seattle. He has 5 TDs on the year and ranks second among RBs with 45 receptions. Even though Beanie Wells is essentially splitting carries with him, Hightower is a lower-end No. 2 fantasy RB because of his TDs and catches.
Wells had double-digit carries for the fourth time in five games, gaining an impressive 85 yards on 16 carries with 2 TDs. Look for him to keep getting carries. He's a lower-end No. 2, but could be elevated well beyond that if he straight up supplants Hightower.
Old Fitzie caught 7 balls for 73 yards and 1 TD against the Seahawks. He's third in the league in receptions with 63. He's caught less than 5 balls in a game only once. He's only been over the century mark twice, but is tied for the league lead with 8 receiving TDs. He is one of the most physically gifted players in the league and, without a doubt, an every-week must-start.
Boldin has been playing through injuries all year and sat out against the Bears two weeks ago. The week of rest really helped him, as he followed it up with a season-high 105 yards on 8 catches. He's only gotten into the end zone once, and until he busts out, he's a No. 3 fantasy option. Last week's performance bodes well for the future.
Breaston had another good game against Seattle, catching 4 balls for 79 yards and 1 TD. He may well be the best No. 3 WR in the league and should come close to getting 1,000 yards. He's a No. 3 option, though both he and Boldin might really be No. 2s.
Neil 'The Schpiel' is 11-for-12 on the season after going 1-for-1 against Seattle. The Cards keep scoring TDs, and thus, Rackers has been having trouble racking up the rackage. He's still a lower-end No. 1 fantasy kicker on a scoring offense like this.
The Cards' defense has been up and down all year. They are very erratic, but remain an advisable low-end No. 1 against a Rams offense that's 25th-ranked in YPG and 30th-ranked in PPG.
Young continued his efficient, effective return to the starting lineup, going 17-of-25 for 210 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT (along with 5 carries for 29 yards) in leading the Titans over the Bills for their third straight win. These are decent numbers for a No. 2 QB or flex guy. If he gets hot, watch out
Johnson is the league's leading rusher by 170 yards (1,091) and he's playing against the league's 28th-ranked run defense. Sounds like a recipe for success! He's gone for a ridiculous 623 yards in the last four games and is the top fantasy RB right now.
Washington caught 3 passes for 33 yards with a TD against the Bills. He doesn't go for much yardage, but he has become a major red zone option for the Titans. He caught his fifth touchdown of the year against the Bills. Consider him a low-end No. 3 option simply because of his nose for the goal line, not because of his reception or yardage totals (25 catches for 235 yards).
Britt had a decent week, catching 2 balls for 55 yards against the Bills -- his first 50-yard outing since Week 4. He was targeted 4 times and isn't much of a fantasy option right now. He's worth a roster spot in most cases; watch how he performs with Justin Gage sidelined by multiple small fractures in his back.
Despite being Vince Young's college teammate at Texas, Scaife caught only 2 balls for 16 yards against the Bills. He has only 20 receptions and nary a TD on the year. As such, he has minimal fantasy value.
Bironas is 14-for-17 on the year after going 2-for-3 against the Bills. He's 7-for-8 over the last three weeks including a 51-yarder against Buffalo. He is worthy of a start in most leagues.
The Titans defense is on a great run, going 3-0 the last three weeks. They returned a pair of picks for TDs against Buffalo and look much more like last year's celebrated unit than Chuck Cecil's beleaguered 2009 edition. But this is a tough play against a rested and potent opponent. Not a recommended start.
