IÆm going to look at the matchups each week and pick five fantasy starters that could be in for a tough week. HereÆs a look at players who could struggle this week.
With the bye weeks upon us, you canÆt necessarily sit the guys on this list unless you have great depth, but expect a drop in production.

Kurt Warner, QB, Arizona Cardinals

Warner returns to Newá York to face the Giants, ...
Quarterbacks
Matt Hasselbeck, Kyle Orton, and Joe Flacco are the biggest concerns to replace, but it shouldnÆt put you in too much of a bind.
High-end Alternatives:
Jay Cutler & Carson PalmerùBorderline starters that square off against each other.á Unless you have a stud QB, itÆs pretty much a no-brainer that you roll with either of these guys.á If I had to give someone the edge IÆd go with Palmer, who ...

Justin Fargas, RB, Oakland Raiders

David Garrard, ...

Eli Manning Practices Friday, Likely to Play on Sunday
Posted: 10th October 2009 by Ryan Lester in NFL
As I, and everyone other football fan, expected, Eli participated in practice Friday, which virtually guarantees that he will be under center when the New York Giants take on the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.He remains questionable on the injury report, but that is a mere formality to document Eli's missed practices during the week. áIn my humble opinion, wild horses could not keep Eli from extending his streak of 75 ...
It must be Wide Receiver Day in the NFL as a pair of disgruntled WRs is in the news.á First up is Diva Rookie Michael Crabtree.á San FranciscoÆs 3-1 start and 35-0 drubbing of St. Louis must have made Crabtree realize that the Niners were doing fine without him, and werenÆt going to be the first one to blink.á Now that he has missed so much time, it is unlikely ...
