Oakland had one of the most puzzling outings of the season in getting pulverized by the Dolphins while the Packers withstood a major scare to beat the Giants and keep alive the possibility of going undefeated.
 
Carson Palmer put up some good numbers (273 yards, 2 TDs), and they still count even though they mostly came in garbage time. Miami’s run defense has been pretty solid, but 19 yards on 11 carries from Michael Bush? That’s one of the shockers of the Fantasy season. Darrius Heyward-Bey and Chaz Schilens should continue to be Palmer’s main targets this week, as Jacoby Ford and Denarius Moore were expected to miss this week’s game.
 
There’s really no need to spend a lot of time on the Packers. Aaron Rodgers is a Fantasy God and any receiver is a good bet to shine, especially against an Oakland pass defense that has allowed 21 TDs on the season – the third-worst total in the league. James Starks may be out, giving Ryan Grant more playing time. But you’re not running him anyway unless you’re really desperate.
 
GOOD STARTS: QB Aaron Rodgers, QB Carson Palmer, Any Packer receiver, WR Chaz Schilens, WR Darius Heyward-Bey
 
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD STARTS: RB Michael Bush, RB Ryan Grant
 
BAD STARTS: It’s hard to pinpoint one.
