Streaming QB of the Week:

Drew Stanton, QB, Cardinals: (5.8% on NFL)(16.4% on ESPN) Stanton goes from a stingy Seahawks defense to a porous Falcons one. I think the cardinals look to reestablish their dominance and Bruce Arians looks to boost his signal caller’s confidence and put him in position to put up some points before the going gets tough with Atlanta followed by KC, SF, a rematch with SEA and the Rams. Speaking of the Rams, Shaun Hill (0.3% on NFL)(1.9% on ESPN) has a nice match-up with the Raiders at home, and should be in line to notch his first 2 TD game of the year. I’m also still on the Zach Mettenberger (0.5% on NFL)(4.1% on ESPN) bandwagon, he’s got at least 250 yards and 2 TDs in 3 of his 4 starts this year and will be playing against a Houston team that he threw for just under 300 yards against in their last outing in week 8.

Streaming Defense of the Week:

Indianapolis Colts D/ST: (22.5% on NFL)(53.1% on ESPN) It’s not a great week for streaming defense, but if Trent Williams is forced to miss another game, and Robert Griffin III is given another start the Colts should be able to put up a solid game against a Redskins team that has struggled to move the ball and score points. If you’re playing in an ESPN league and the Colts are gone, or you just don’t trust the match-up the St. Louis Rams (55.7% on NFL)(24.1% on ESPN) have looked much better recently with multiple sacks and turnovers in each of the last 4 games and draw a match-up against the Raiders at home.
