Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is a must-play against the Seahawks, whom he routinely rips to shreds. In the first game this year against Seattle, Fitzgerald had 13 catches for 100 yards and a TD, and last week Fitzgerald had his way with the Bears' secondary, making nine catches for 123 yards and a pair of scores. Fitzgerald is on pace to catch a career-high 112 passes for 1,264 yards and 14 touchdowns. Meanwhile, WR Anquan Boldin, who did not play last week because of an injured ankle (and was not at all happy about it), is expected to be on the field this Sunday against Seattle. And WR Steve Breaston (5-66-1 last week) has been limited in practice with a knee injury this week but is also expected to play Sunday.

Donald Driver continues to outperform fantasy disappointment Greg Jennings as the Packers' best receiver this season. Driver has a TD catch in half of Green Bay's games this season, including a 32-yard score last week.

Bears WRs Devin Hester (6-94-0 vs. Arizona last week) and Earl Bennett (7-93-0) could cause problems for a San Francisco secondary lacking in deep speed.

Where has Jason Hill been hiding for the Niners? Hill, who had two TDs last week against Tennessee, was inactive in five of the Niners' first seven games, but he is expected to see more action in the coming weeks at the expense of veteran Isaac Bruce, whose playing time is dwindling in part due to a sore ankle.

There's always a chance that QB Jake Delhomme could have one of his signature hellish performances this week — and after not throwing an interception in each of the past two games, he's due for one — but WR Steve Smith is worth the risk vs. Atlanta. Smith burned the Falcons for eight grabs and 131 yards against the team in Week Two and should be very productive again against a porous pass defense.

Jets WR Braylon Edwards is a good option this week in leagues of 12 teams or more. New York will host the Jaguars and their 26th-ranked pass defense, and QB Mark Sanchez should have plenty of time to find his targets downfield. Jacksonville has generated a league-low eight sacks.

The Chiefs had two surprise contributors in their receiving corps last week: Lance Long and Chris Chambers. A quick, smallish wideout who reminds K.C. of Wes Welker, Long led the team with eight catches for 74 yards against the Jaguars, and it looks like he could be QB Matt Cassel's primary underneath target moving forward. Chambers, meanwhile, was just signed by the Chiefs last week but stepped right in with three grabs for 70 yards and two TDs; K.C. is hoping he will be the deep threat the team has been lacking. Both WRs have some fantasy intrigue, but make the pair prove themselves some more before inserting either in your lineup.

In the midst of a horrific campaign, Bills WR Terrell Owens missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a hip strain, putting his status in question for Week 10. Even if he plays, T.O. is a shaky fantasy play against a Titans secondary which is now healthy. If you're counting on him, though, keep a close eye on his status heading into Sunday. If Owens can't go, Josh Reed would likely start in his place.

Vikings WR Bernard Berrian's hamstring is still a bit limiting, but he looks like a very solid play against the Lions. This is the kind of team the Vikings would love to get him going against.

Patriots WR Brandon Tate's knee kept him out of practice on Wednesday, but he's not a great fantasy option yet, not even against a shorthanded Colts secondary.

Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker is starting to get the attention of folks in Jacksonville and elsewhere around the league in his third season. With 554 receiving yards and four TDs, including a big day last week in a win over the Chiefs (6-147-1), Sims-Walker has emerged as David Garrard's favorite target. Despite his impressive numbers, however, he does not have a very favorable matchup this week against the Jets. New York is second in the league defending the pass, and Walker could be shadowed all afternoon by one of the league's best corners, Darrelle Revis.

Ravens WR Mark Clayton has only one TD catch since Week One and was held to 1-15-0 last week. At best, he's a backup in big leagues, and there may be receivers with more upside on your waiver wire.

Titans WR Kenny Britt has been a non-factor of late, catching just one pass in the last three games, but he'll start this week with Justin Gage out due to fractured bones in his back. Britt, who flashed potential earlier in the year, may have some value in big leagues.

That's 12 catches in three games for Bengals WR Laveranues Coles, who racked up a season-high 72 yards receiving in Week Nine. His value increases all the more with Chris Henry out for the season.

Steelers rookie WR Mike Wallace has a TD in two straight games and racked up a career-high 102 receiving yards Week Three at Cincinnati. He's a solid play in the rematch vs. the Bengals. Cincinnati's secondary can be stingy, but it is also susceptible to the big play (recall how Limas Sweed dropped a TD catch on a long pass from Ben Roethlibserger back in Week Three). In other words, don't hesitate to start WRs Hines Ward and Santonio Holmes, either. The Bengals held Holmes in check last time (1-18-0), but Holmes comes off a fine game against the Broncos (6-93-0), when he performed well against CB Champ Bailey.
