I think both Quick and Asiata have great matchups, Philly's D is decent except for CB's Williams and Fletcher which can be exploited by Quick, although StL will have to be mindful of Philly's SS Malcolm Jenkins who is a stud (as well as Slot Cornerback Boykin). I think St.L will be able to get some 10+ midrange passes to Quick in 1 on 1 coverage and be successful. .

Currently I have Carolinas D. My alternate is Buffalo.

Buffalo vs Detroit and Carolina vs Chicago.

I might change this. Probably my last decision granted I might change my Big Ben/Rodgers decision based on what SP33Demon posted.

Don't start Carolina - they've had some injuries to LB, which was arguably their best stat-provider for their status as a DST. You can grab the Giants, Browns or Chiefs in most leagues.

Keenan Allen vs. NYJ
or
Michael Floyd vs. Denver

Edit:
OR
DeAndre Hopkins vs. Dallas

I had Allen in there at first, but if Denver puts up points (which they do), ARI gonna be airing it out more is my thinking for putting Floyd back in. But Jets pass D isnt very good i dont think. Hmmm

I would go with Allen. All signs are pointing to Rivers needing to sling it until Ryan Mathews gets back. The Jets secondary is not good and their zone coverage is a mess, Golden Tate went bonkers last week on the Jet's bad zone defense. Allen is one of the best receivers in the league for busting zone coverage and could put up huge numbers this week.

I think you should go Keenan, especially PPR. He hasn't scored a TD yet and is statistically due after his 10catch / 135yd day last week. Jets secondary is pretty bad and Donald Brown wasn't getting it done before meeting the stout Jets Run D this week. That means SD will have to go to the air more often than not against a bottom 3rd secondary in NYJ.

Good point on Floyd, and Stanton isn't scared to throw deep to him. A concern is that Stanton may be still working out the kinks and Denver's secondary is nothing to scoff at with Moore Harris and Talib playing great football atm. Also Fitz was featured last week so who knows who will be featured this week.

Hopkins is boom or bust. Playing against Dallas is annoying because they are going to limit the other team's snaps with the heavy (and successful) ground game, which has even dropped Witten and Dez's stats to a minor degree. I have Andre Johnson and am hoping for a big day but am keeping my expectations low; also Foster's health is a big question mark so I am skeptical in their drive sustainment ability.

KC is my streamer this week in 1 league. They have a semi-decent run D (i.e. slightly above avg) and a decent secondary. But that's not why you want them... that pass rush! They are top 3 right now with Houston and Tamba wreaking havoc. Kap negates that a little, but Kap can get sloppy with the ball and is susceptible to fumbling when hit from the blind side. Also consider both team love to run the ball so it should be lower scoring, assuming that both teams can stop the superstar RBs (JC and Gore).

NYG, at first I went with them but saw that ATL's pass blocking is doing a decent job. Any time that Matty Ice has time to throw... yeah. Not tempting fate but I think NY will still do ok, they just probably won't hold ATL's point total down low which is what I need. I wouldn't be surprised if they shut ATL down though.

CLE, they haven't shown us anything this year and maybe this will be the week they do. Not putting them over KC as a result.

They weren't in any specific order - I'd take the Chiefs first. The reason why I'd go with the NYC is because of their pass rush, and the fact they have 7 interceptions.

As for the Browns - they're there because 1) the Titans haven't been very impressive on offense and 2) You have a chance at playing Whitehurst or a recovering Jake Locker.

Suspended Matt Prater is expected to resume Broncos kicking duties Week 6.
Fill-in Brandon McManus has been fine, going 3-of-3 on field goals and making all eight of his extra points through three games. But Prater was the NFL's best kicker last season, going 25-of-26 on field goals and leading the way in touchbacks (81). He's also 21-of-27 lifetime from 50 or more yards out. Prater will almost certainly get his job back as the proven veteran with a history of making pressure-packed kicks. He'll slide back in as a no-brainer top-three fantasy option weekly.
