Upcoming Schedule Eagles v Chargers Bye v

Patriots, Ravens, TexansFantasy Prognosis : The schedule certainly is not formidable. Peyton Manning should handle these opponents with ease.However, the dynamics of the Colts' offense is due to change upon Gonzalez's return He likely will return to the starting lineup. What does that mean for Collie and Garcon Will they be able to produce consistently enough to appease the fantasy massesFor now, Collie deserves to remain on fantasy rosters. He is a start-able entity, especially in leagues with a flex position, until Gonzalez returns. Then he should hit the bench to see how the dynamic shakes out. Re-evaluate after that. Sidney Rice, WR, Vikings Week Six: 176 yards Week Seven: 136 yardsRice also scored touchdowns in consecutive games (weeks three and four) earlier this season with a 61-yard effort sandwiched in between those two nice fantasy lines and these most-recent two.This is the Rice fantasy owners tabbed as a sleeper before the start of the 2008 season.

Had it not been for injuries, perhaps he would have emerged at some point last year. BearsFantasy Prognosis : All kinds of delicious matchups on the schedule for one of the hottest passing attacks in the league.What Rice and Favre proved in week seven against the Steelers is that conditions field, weather, crowd, etc. should not affect this duo. There may not be a more difficult surface on which to play than in Pittsburgh, and the fact that Rice was able to amass such a large yardage total on the unforgiving tundra bodes well for his away slate of games.Miles Austin may be stealing all the headlines, but Rice should be there at the end of the season with equally as impressive numbers. One catch for a touchdown in week four, nothing in week six until after halftime with the game out of hand and David Carr at quarterback, and a touchdown catch off a deflected pass against the Cardinals in week seven are not the most conventional ways to go about fantasy production.But it is production nonetheless.

And those owners who have used Nicks in any of the last four weeks have likely been impressed by his ability to find the endzone, no matter the course.Upcoming Schedule : Eagles, v Chargers, Bye, v. Falcons, BroncosFantasy Prognosis : There is something a little off about the Giants' passing game right now. Nicks, however, is the one player seemingly in the right places at the right times for this offense.But how much longer can he keep scoring these "fluky" touchdowns And how many touchdowns is this non-starting, rookie wide receiver going to score this year At some point this has to stop, rightChances are, yes But the value is nice right now for Nicks. Try and sell him to a wide receiver desperate owner. Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles Week Five: 142 yards, two touchdowns Week Six: six yardsA huge week followed by a dud usually says it all to a fantasy owner: One-week wonder.But maybe not in Maclin's case He is, after all, a rookie Some inconsistency is expected. And he has wrangled away a starting spot in the Eagles' offense from veteran Kevin Curtis.Lining up opposite weapons DeSean Jackson, Brian Westbrook and Brent Celek leaves plenty of single-coverage for the young deep threat.

Maclin could have some use for fantasy owners yet.Upcoming Schedule : v Giants, v Cowboys, Chargers, Bears, v. RedskinsFantasy Prognosis : Nothing terribly intimidating about that upcoming schedule. All of those could end up as shoot-outs, which means more opportunity for a starting wide receiver on the Eagles named Jeremy Maclin.But there is always a but he has only one good game to his credit this season It was against the awful Buccaneers. Until he can do it against a better secondary, Maclin is better off on fantasy owners' benches..
