PACKERS (6-4-0)		COWBOYS (7-3-0)
Aaron Rodgers QB Rodgers has issues with holding on to the ball too long, but he has rarely disappointed his fantasy owners this season. He'll face a tough Dallas defense this week, but he's been an auto-start since Week 1. Play him.   Projections Cmp/Att PaYd PaTd Int RuYd RuTd FP 19/33 260 1 1 12 0 18.8		Tony Romo QB Romo has turned himself into a weekly play this season and should excel against this defense which has had major problems in recent weeks. A definite start.   Projections Cmp/Att PaYd PaTd Int RuYd RuTd FP 16/26 213 2 1 -1 0 16.9
Ryan Grant RB His better games this year have come against poor run defenses, and Dallas isn't one of those. Grant probably won't get a ton of yards and will most likely need to score a TD in order for him to have a strong fantasy day.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 17 76 1 2 19 0 12.8		Marion Barber RB Barber has gotten almost twice as many carries as anyone else on this team, but it hasn't translated into big numbers for him this year. He's more of an RB2 than RB1 nowadays.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 17 85 1 1 14 0 14.9
Ahman Green RB Green looks like he's going to be a factor in this offense, but probably not enough of one for you to rush out and claim him. Find someone else for deeper RB help.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 4 17 0 0 4 0 3.3		Tashard Choice RB As long as Barber is healthy, Choice's value is somewhat limited. He may get a goal-line carry or screen, but he's not going to get you many yards.   Projections RuAtt RuYd RuTd Rec RecYd RecTd FP 6 27 0 0 4 0 4.3
Greg Jennings WR He was tearing up defenses left and right last season, but has slowed down a bit this year. He may not have many monster games for you, but he's too good to just disappear into the sunset. Keep playing him.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 5 77 0       9.5		Roy Williams WR Williams complained about not getting the ball, and it seemed to provide a bit of a spark, if only for a week. He's not a top WR by any means, but probably is someone who should be started in all leagues which require two or more WRs.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 3 47 0       6.8
Donald Driver WR Continues to lead this team in receiving yards (613) and touchdown catches (4). It's never a bad thing to play the primary target of a supremely talented quarterback.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 5 71 0       9.5		Miles Austin WR He made his one catch count last week by taking it to the end zone from 49 yards out. Are defenses starting to key on him more? Start him if you have him, but the days of 200 yards and two TDs in the same game are probably over.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 3 58 0       8.2
James Jones WR Had a nice long touchdown reception to open the scoring in Tampa Bay last week, but that's probably the best you can hope for from him. More often than not, his fantasy contributions are minimal.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 1 26 0       3.7		Patrick Crayton WR He's been taking punts to the house lately, but hasn't really had a big fantasy day in the offense since Week 1. Not one of your better options. He's more of a borderline flex play.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 2 30 0       4.5
Donald Lee TE He has yet to reach 200 total receiving yards this season, and he hasn't even scored one TD that might have helped offset that. Look elsewhere for your starting tight end.   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 3 32 0       4.1		Jason Witten TE Witten had established himself as one of the top tight ends in the business, but his disappearance this year has been really puzzling. You have to play him if you own him, but what indications have you see that things will change anytime soon?   Projections Rec RecYd RecTd FP 6 56 0       7.9
Mason Crosby K Crosby has been pretty decent this year by going 14-for-18 overall. As long as the offense puts him in position to score, he'll keep doing it. Play him.   Projections XPM/XPA 0-29 30-39 40-49 50+ FP 2/2 0 1 1 0   7.9		Nick Folk K You have to love when you have the kicker on a team that has scored 20 or more points in all but one game this year. He's an easy play these days as well.   Projections XPM/XPA 0-29 30-39 40-49 50+ FP 3/3 1 1 1 0   10.5
Packers D/ST They're usually good for sacks, turnovers and maybe even a score each week, but when the Bucs hang 38 points on you, you have some major problems that need to be addressed. Be very careful starting them here.   Projections PA Yds Allowed Sack Int FumR Td FP 29 372 2 1 0 0 2.8		Cowboys D/ST Normally, playing this defense is a relatively good idea. But going on the road to face a Packers offense that can score? You may want to leave them out for this week.   Projections PA Yds Allowed Sack Int FumR Td FP 21 371 3 1 0 0 6.8
Projected Final Score 22   27
