Select An Option... Quarterbacks Running Backs Wide Receivers Tight Ends Defense Kickers

Start 'Em vs. Start of the Week - Jordan Matthews vs. Atlanta Falcons I'm a huge fan of Matthews, who figures to see a major uptick in targets with Jeremy Maclin no longer in the mix. While playing in a high-octane offense, the Vanderbilt product is a threat for 80-plus catches and should start strong against the Falcons. Their defense allowed the second-most receiving yards to wideouts in 2014. vs. Davante Adams vs. Chicago Bears Adams' stock skyrocketed once Jordy Nelson (knee) went down for the season, and I like him to make some noise right out of the gate. That's due in large part to a matchup against the Bears, who have allowed an average of 313 yards with 12 touchdowns in their last three games. Fantasy fans should like Adams as a No. 2 option. vs. Jarvis Landry vs. Washington Redskins Landry quietly had a nice rookie campaign, posting 84 catches and 758 yards with five touchdowns. He should build on that success in Washington, as the Redskins allowed more fantasy points to wideouts (26.46) than all but one team in 2014. Landry might not be on an elite level in fantasy land, but he could be well on his way. vs. Allen Robinson vs. Carolina Panthers Fantasy fans in need of a No. 3 wideout or flex starter should look to start Robinson in Week 1. A popular sleeper candidate, the Penn State product faces a Panthers defense that allowed 15 touchdown catches on the road last season. Robinson should also see more chances in the red zone with Julius Thomas (hand) out of action. vs. John Brown vs. New Orleans Saints One of my favorite sleepers, Brown should emerge as the top fantasy wideout in Arizona this season. The speedster out of Pittsburg State is an attractive No. 3 fantasy wideout or flex starter this week against the Saints. This unit struggled versus the pass in 2014, allowing 2,108 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on the road. Good matchups: Julian Edelman vs. Steelers (TNF), Jeremy Maclin at Texans, DeSean Jackson vs. Dolphins

Sit' Em vs. Sit of the Week - Brandon Marshall vs. Cleveland Browns I like to have fun with the Jets fans, but this statement is true ... veteran wideouts have struggled when moving their talents to the Big Apple. The same could be true of Marshall, who hasn't had much success when he's not catching passes from Jay Cutler. Oh, the veteran also has to face stud cornerback Joe Haden this weekend. No bueno. vs. Sammy Watkins vs. Indianapolis Colts The Colts allowed 20 touchdown catches on the road last season, but 11 of those scores came at the hands of Ben Roethlisberger and Tony Romo. The last time I checked, Tyrod Taylor wasn't on that level. Overall, Indianapolis still allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts. If you do start Watkins, temper your expectations. vs. Vincent Jackson vs. Tennessee Titans Want a weird stat? In 2014, the Titans allowed just one touchdown catch in six of eight road games. In the other two contests, they surrendered 10 scoring catches. So, this unit was stout 75 percent of the time in roadies. That would make me think twice about starting Jackson, who found the end zone just two times all of last year. vs. Steve Smith vs. Denver Broncos Smith had a quick start to last season, but his numbers fizzled down the stretch. And while he still plays at a high level despite being a little long in the tooth, Smith's matchup against the Broncos is anything but favorable. Their defense allowed just 14 touchdown catches and the second-fewest fantasy points to wideouts a year ago. vs. Torrey Smith vs. Minnesota Vikings Smith might have finished in the top 20 in fantasy points among wideouts last season, but few players were as touchdown-dependent at the position. In fact, almost 47 percent of his fantasy points were the result of end-zone visits. The Vikings should have an improved defensive backfield as well, making Smith even less of an option. Bad matchups: Andre Johnson at Bills, Mike Wallace at 49ers, Brian Quick vs. Seahawks
