Featured Fantasy Picks.

Each week we will feature our top fantasy picks for each position.


Quarterbacks- Aaron Rodgers-  After coming off of a three touchdown week we expect Rodgers to continue his hot streak as he takes on the mediocre Carolina pass defense.  Carolina has given up 12 touchdowns to opposing QB's this season.

Running Backs- DeMarco Murray- For the past few years the only knock against Murray has been his ability to stay healthy.  With that looking as a though it's a non-factor (knock on wood) this year I would expect him to stay at the top of the depth charts from here on out.  He is on pace to beat Eric Dickerson's all time rushing record and is already finding himself breaking records held by Jim Brown.  With the porous Giants Defense on the horizon I'd look for Murray to add to this 100 yard rushing games

Wide Receivers- Antonio Brown- Although the Pittsburgh Offense has been anemic this year the one bright spot has been Antonio Brown.  While other top wide outs have to share the filed with the likes of Randall Cobb and Julius Thomas, Antonio Brown is clearly the go to guy for Big Ben.  While Houston has a good pass rush and are an opportunistic defense, they have given up the 7th most yards per game to opposing wide outs.

Tight ends- Martellus Bennett- Bennett has become one of the favorite targets of Jay Cutler.  He is a big powerful target with great hands.  Since Marshall and Jefferies have been slowed down by injuries, Bennett has stepped in and filled the void.  Miami has given up a touchdown to opposing tight ends in 4 of their 5 games.  Look for that trend to continue.

Defense- Bills- While I would usually love anyone facing the pitiful Jacksonville offense I opted for the bills this week.  They are facing a Minnesota offense that is missing its' starting qb and rb.  Look for the Bills to rebound from the whopping that the Patriots laid on them.

Kicker- Nick Novak-  The Chargers face the bend but don't break defense of the Chiefs.  Look for Rivers to have some good drives that get Novak into position to kick some points onto the board.
