QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
Last season, Matt Hasselbeck had a rough season. He missed more than half the season due to injury. However, in the prior five season, he’s thrown at least 22 touchdowns in four of those years.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants
Although Ahmad Bradshaw isn’t a starter, he plays behind Brandon Jacobs — who isn’t exactly known for staying healthy. Even if you don’t draft Jacobs, Bradshaw is very good depth for your bench.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos
With the news that Brandon Marshall is suspended, Eddie Royal’s value has gone up and up. He appears destined to be the number one receiver in Denver and could explode onto the scene in 2009.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Even though the Vikings used multiple quarterbacks last year, Visanthe Shiancoe managed to have a good season. With Brett Favre added to the mix, expect him to do even better.

Jay Cutler, Chicago Bears (Image: Newscom)

First of all, Cutler himself probably sees his stock lower quite significantly. In Chicago, he joins a team with a mediocre receiving corps and a history of running the ball often. Logic suggests his stats will drop after spending his last few years in the wide open offense run in Denver.

For the Broncos, the wide receivers also see their stocks go south. Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal aren’t worth as much without Cutler delivering passes. However, whoever wins the running back battle for the Broncos could see their stock rise due to more carries.

In Chicago, the Bears receivers are now viable in the fantasy world. Devin Hester, the return specialist turned wide receiver, will be a popular sleeper pick during 2009 fantasy football drafts. If he enters the season as the number one wide receiver, Cutler could look for him early and often.

Tight end Greg Olson should also see his stock rise considerably following the acquisition of Cutler. He seems to have all the tools to be a star at the position and Cutler may be able to push him to the next level.

Also keep an eye to see on who will become the quarterback in Denver. With a new regime in town, the offensive tinkering may just have just begun.

RB Thomas Jones, New York Jets
When you see the final score of 47-3, you probably thought Brett Favre destroyed the St. Louis Rams. While Favre had a pretty good day, it was actually Thomas Jones who did most of the damage. Jones had 149 yards and three touchdowns to thrill fantasy football owners around the world who started him.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos
Eddie Royal, not Brandon Marshall, was Cutler’s go-to wide receiver in Week 10. Royal started the season off very well but then went through a bit of a slump. It looks like he’s back at 100% and he’s now the most dangerous rookie wide receiver in fantasy football. Start him until he shows he’s not worthy.

TE Tony Gonzalez, Kansas City Chiefs
We had Tony Gonzalez as the best Week 10 tight end start and he didn’t disappoint. Gonzalez had 113 yards and two touchdowns to show why he’s still one of the best tight ends in the entire league. With Chiefs quarterback Tyler Thigpen playing quite well, Gonzalez should be a very good fantasy player for the rest of the season.

QB Kerry Collins, Tennessee Titans
With Vince Young injured, Kerry Collins will step in as quarterback for the Titans. Collins has a great matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and could be in line for a big day.

RB Sammy Morris, New England Patriots
Tom Brady won’t be there to pass around the football for the Patriots, which could lead to more runs for Sammy Morris. He had a good Week 1 and should follow that up with a solid Week 2.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos
In the first game of his NFL career, Eddie Royal looked like a future great player. Jay Cutler looked for him repeatedly and Royal didn’t disappoint. Start Royal with confidence until he shows otherwise.

TE John Carlson, Seattle Seahawks
With Seattle’s top four wide receivers injured (Deion Branch, Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson and Ben Obomanu), look for John Carlson to get a lot of looks in Week 2. He’s arguably the most talented receiver left on the Seahawks roster.

K John Carney, New York Giants
Even though John Carney is up in age and even though he’s not the full-time kicker for the Giants, he’s a very good start this week. Against the Rams, Carney should get two or three field goals at minimum.

D Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals defense looked extremely strong in Week 1. Feel free to start them again this week against Miami Dolphins.
