With the exception of bye weeks, there are a few players in my lineup that never change. Philip Rivers (potential league MVP), Chris Johnson (last year’s top fantasy performer), and Arian Foster (averaging over 20 points a game!) play every week.
The three newcomers to my lineup this week are Jeremy Maclin, Rob Bironas and Cowboys D/ST. Maclin has had success as the resurgent Michael Vick’s top deep threat, and after concerns about Vick’s health when he scrambles were raised this week, I expect him to drop back and throw long Sunday.
The Cowboys D/ST units returned multiple Peyton Manning interceptions for touchdowns Sunday and are motivated by new coach Jason Garrett. I expect big things from this unit.
