There's no need to be overly concerned that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers barely practiced at all this week after hurting his foot last Sunday against Minnesota. A Buccaneers pass defense ranked 32nd in average gain per pass play should make Rodgers, who continues to rack up strong fantasy passing numbers (287 yards and three TDs vs. Minnesota last Sunday), added an extra dimension with his legs against the Vikings with 52 yards rushing. However, his lingering foot pain will likely make him less mobile this Sunday.

Colts QB Peyton Manning threw for 347 yards against the Niners last week (his sixth 300-yard game of the season), but he failed to throw a TD pass for the first time since Week 13 of the 2008 season. He will be looking to make amends this Sunday against a Houston team that he averaged 283.5 passing yards against last year with a 4-1 TD-interception ratio.

Cardinals QB Kurt Warner, who is coming off one of his worst efforts in some time (six turnovers vs. the Panthers, including five interceptions), will be looking to turn things around against a Bears pass defense that played pretty well last week against Cleveland.

Bears QB Jay Cutler will need much better protection this Sunday against the Cardinals after getting sacked four times by the Browns last Sunday.

Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck, who got knocked around more than a little by the Cowboys' defense last Sunday, should find Detroit's 28th-ranked pass defense to his liking.

Fresh off a bye in which he worked closely with head coach Todd Haley to better grasp the offense, Chiefs QB Matt Cassel might be worth a start this week in two-QB leagues. That's because he's facing a shoddy Jacksonville secondary that's allowing 242.4 passing yards per game and has surrendered 13 TD tosses. Although Cassel has been inconsistent, he does have three multi-TD games this season.

Matt Ryan has struggled recently, throwing seven interceptions in the last three games, and he faces a tough matchup against the Redskins this week. Washington is ranked second vs. the pass and has only allowed six TDs through the air. Keep Ryan on the bench until he proves he's out of his current funk.

Kyle Orton was held to a season-low 152 yards in a loss to the Ravens last week, and he'll go up against another disruptive defense on Monday night when the Steelers roll into Denver. Pittsburgh is ranked 16th vs. the pass, but it's only allowing 18.4 points per game. Orton may put up decent yardage against the Steelers, but this should be a pretty low-scoring affair. Avoid starting Orton this week if you can.

Titans QB Vince Young completed 15-of-18 passes for 125 yards with one TD and no interceptions (though at least one pass could have been picked off) in his 2009 starting debut last week. Young also rushed for 30 yards, but that came on 12 carries.  Should you be rushing out to start in him on the road against a pretty tough San Francisco defense this week? Not really, but you should monitor his progress to see if he can help you down the stretch.  

Don't get too worried about Texans QB Matt Schaub throwing no TD passes last week vs. Buffalo. The Bills' run defense is horrid, and RB Ryan Moats racked up three rushing TDs. Schaub, who completed 25-of-34 passes for 268 yards and two interceptions at Buffalo, remains a very good starting option in all formats.

Ravens QB Joe Flacco continues to play very, very well. Fantasy owners weren't thrilled with the 175 yards and one TD he threw for in Week Eight vs. Denver, but he took what he was given against a tough defense. This week he draws a Bengals pass defense that's allowed 26 pass plays of 20 yards or more. Start him with confidence.
