Fantasy owners should breathe a sigh of relief after last week's scheduling debacle that sidelined half of everyone's lineups.
Fortunately, this week there are only four byes, not six. The Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Baltimore Ravens, Houston Texans are the teams that are idle this week.
We've given our picks for who we believe should be put in or taken out of your fantasy football lineup this week. These players are ones that are either fringe starters or may not perform up to your standards this week.
The advice we've given is based on standard 10-team leagues.
START: Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers Quarterback vs. CLE
If there was ever a week for Rivers to bounce back from a terrible performance against Denver, this is it. He's coming off a bye week and Cleveland gives up roughly 289 yards and two touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks.
Season Total (six gms.): 139/209, 1,492 yards, 10 TDs, 9 INTs
7 carries, 9 yards
SIT: Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions Quarterback vs. SEA
Stafford doesn't have one multi-touchdown game this season, much to the dismay of fantasy owners who drafted him high.
He faces a difficult test against the Seahawks pass defense this weekend and will be without wideout Nate Burleson for the rest of the year.
Season Total (six gms.): 164/264, 1,756 yards, 5 TDs, 6 INTs
14 carries, 64 yards, 2 TDs
START: Reggie Bush, Miami Dolphins Running Back at NYJ
Bush has been hobbled by a knee injury since facing the Jets in Week 3, but still had put up respectable rushing numbers until last week against St. Louis.
He got a week to rest last week, and will always remain a viable threat in the passing game.
Season Total: 98 carries, 434 yards, 3 TD
17 catches, 140 yards
