8. Heath Miller (Pittsburgh) vs. Saint Louis

Miller has had consistent solid production so far this season, once with high yardage and once with a touchdown. If he can combine the high-volume performance with finding the end zone he will have a huge week, but for now we’ll just count on him having consistently decent production.

The Rams have a great defense, but Miller is one of Ben Roethlisberger‘s favorite targets, and being a part of one of the league’s top offenses is always a plus. With the team getting Le’Veon Bell back this week, I expect the offense to be even more effective than usual, increasing the likelihood Miller finds his way into the end zone. He should be starting in Week 3.

7. Jason Witten (Dallas) vs. Atlanta

Watch Witten closely as the weekend gets closer because there’s a chance he won’t even play after suffering injuries to one knee and both ankles in his team’s Week 2 win against the Eagles. If he is on the field though, look for newly minted starter Brandon Weeden to look his way early and often, as Witten has long proved himself a reliable safety valve.

On a team riddled with injuries, the Cowboys really need Witten to be able to go this week if they want to continue their winning ways. He always carries Top-5 upside, but may fall out of the Top-10 if his injuries don’t progress well this week. He’s only missed one game in his decorated career due to injury though, and he likely will power through again this week.
