fantasy football
season.
Start this guy
Matt Schaub, Texans QB: Much attention, and rightfully so, is given to stud running back Arian Foster when discussing the Houston offense. But do not discount what Schaub has done lately. In leading the Texans to consecutive overtime victories, Schaub has thrown for 842 yards and six touchdowns. This week, he gets to face the Tennessee Titans, whose defense has been very generous to quarterbacks all season long.

Sit this guy
Matt Forte, Bears RB: The ankle injury that knocked him out of last week's game against Minnesota has healed sufficiently to allow Forte to play this week against Seattle. Forte, however, has not been a consistent fantasy performer this year. Wide receiver Brandon Marshall has become the focal point of a stagnant Bears attack. When the Bears get near the end zone, Michael Bush - and not Forte - is the team's goal-line back.

Bold prediction
San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick will score more points than Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III. I can't imagine Griffin going off for another four-touchdown game passing, so this prediction is going to come down to who has more rushing TDs. Kaepernick wasn't bad on the ground against St. Louis when he stepped in after Alex Smith sustained a concussion three weeks ago, rushing for 66 yards and a score, and the Rams have given up 14 rushing TDs this year. Griffin, meanwhile, hasn't scored a rushing touchdown in five weeks, and the Giants have only given up six scores on the ground. The advantage goes to Kaepernick.
