Andy Dalton had a monster game last week, with 383 yards and 3 touchdowns against Baltimore, and this week he gets to face Kansas City, which gave up 5 touchdowns to Aaron Rodgers last week. With a decent running game and a great receiver in AJ Green, he should be great this week.

Arian Foster is still not a sure thing to play this week, but if he does play he will be great, just like he was in every game last year. If he can't go, Alfred Blue will be a decent replacement, but not the #1 running back of the week.

If Andy Dalton is going to have a great week, he's got to get the ball to somebody, and he only has 3 receivers and 1 tight end with a reception this year, with Green the obvious star.

Martellus Bennett is the lucky tight end that gets to face Oakland this week. Last week, they gave up 105 yards and a touchdown to Gary Barnidge, who is definitely not a household name. Before that, it was 88 yards and 2 touchdowns to Crockett Gillmore, and 104 yards and 2 touchdowns to Tyler Eifert in week 1. Martellus will be worth the start this week, even with Jimmy Clausen at QB.

I was dead wrong about Robbie Gould last week, who didn't score a single point in Chicago's shutout loss to Seattle. This week they play Oakland, so they should be able to at least score.

Denver has had one of the top defenses in every week so far this season, and with Minnesota visiting this week, there is no reason to think that will change.
