Rod SmithRBDALATLSTARTIt looks like Elliott is officially OUT this week. The word is Morris will get the start but all three backs will be involved. Word out of Dallas' indicates that Smith could be a three down back. We know Morris won't be active in the passing game. Smith could provide that role; so could McFadden. Currently Smith shows as number 2 on the depth chart, so I'm rolling the dice with him.
Tyler KroftTECINTENSTARTTennessee is ranked 23rd vs opposing tight ends. Kroft has been a serviceable play in relief of Eifert this year.
Ameer AbdullahRBDETCLESITCleveland has been a difficult matchup vs RBs this year and a very easy matchup vs WRs. That fits Detroit's plan of attack nicely. I don't figure Abdullah to be heavily utilized this week.
Philip RiversQBLACJACSITThere are few QBs I'd be comfortable agains Jacksonville. Rivers isn't one of them.
Kyle RudolphTEMINWASSTARTWashington is the worst team against the TE. They're also one of the best against the WRs. Look for action to be funnelled to Rudolph in this one.
Orleans DarkwaRBNYGSFSTARTSF has really been susceptible to the RB in fantasy. Look for the Giants to use their backs to attack SF.
