It has been a good year for these players of the week with just one 2-3 week in the bunch and the rest all winning weeks including 7-2-1 the last 2 weeks. This week there are a LOT of great choices and it was tough to leave some of these off the table as just honorable mention selections! Don’t just stop at the player of the week but check out all of the honorable mentions as well! Keep in mind these are NOT the obvious picks. I do not take the nation’s leading passer facing a weak secondary and pick him as my QB of the Week. These are mostly SURPRISE projections and I tell you why.

Here are my picks for top QB (with reasoning), RB, WR and Defenses of the Week plus an Upset Special. I also give you reasoning on several Others to Watch.

Last week G.J. Kinne of Tulsa became our first top rated quarterback to let us down.  Two touchdowns is just not going to cut it when compared to performances churned out by the others we’ve had in the top slot this year.  This week we look to redeem ourselves with Toledo’s Aaron Opelt.  The Glass Bowl should be rocking with Opelt and Western Michigan’s Tim Hiller airing it out in a MAC affair.   There was a fight for the number one tailback spot this week between Marshall’s Darius Marshall and Fresno State’s Ryan Mathews. Fantasy owners should be happy going into the week with either in their starting lineup.  You’ll also notice some surprising running backs in the top 20 this week:  DeMaundray Woolridge, Ike Nduka, Seth Smith, Bernard Pierce and others.   Toledo wide receiver Stephen Williams hooks up with Opelt to take down the top wide receiver spot.  A number of familiar names head up our tight end list in Dennis Pitta, Cody Slate, George Bryan and Ed Dickson.  Looking for a defense?  Look no further than the team lucky enough to play Washington State each week.
