| Rank | PLAYER | TEAM | Opponent | THE SKINNY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Calvin Johnson | DET | @PHI | |
| 2 | Larry Fitzgerald | ARI | BUF | |
| 3 | Roddy White | ATL | OAK | |
| 4 | Julio Jones | ATL | OAK | |
| 5 | Victor Cruz | NYG | @SF | |
| 6 | Demaryius Thomas | DEN | @SD | |
| 7 | Reggie Wayne | IND | @NYJ | Big matchup with Cromartie.. |
| 8 | Percy Harvin | MIN | @WAS | Everything looks good with the hamstring, but it’s still good to have a fallback option, since this is a late game. |
| 9 | A.J. Green | CIN | @CLE | Probable (knee.) He’s still a good play in a tough matchup. |
| 10 | Andre Johnson | HOU | GB | He has a groin injury, but it’s minor. He’s listed as probable. |
| 11 | Jeremy Maclin | PHI | DET | |
| 12 | Wes Welker | NE | @SEA | |
| 13 | DeSean Jackson | PHI | DET | |
| 14 | Eric Decker | DEN | @SD | |
| 15 | Jordy Nelson | GB | @HOU | |
| 16 | Dez Bryant | DAL | @BAL | |
| 17 | James Jones | GB | @HOU | No Jennings again. |
| 18 | Vincent Jackson | TB | KC | |
| 19 | Dwayne Bowe | KC | @TB | |
| 20 | Miles Austin | DAL | @BAL | Probable (hamstring.) No word that he is at risk. |
| 21 | Hakeem Nicks | NYG | @SF | You have to play him if he starts, but check his status. He’s questionable (knee) at this point. Nicks made the trip to Frisco, so he is a good bet to be active. |
| 22 | Denarius Moore | OAK | @ATL | |
| 23 | Brian Hartline | MIA | STL | He’s nursing a quad and is listed as probable. He’s been practicing fully, so he’s ok. |
| 24 | Brandon Lloyd | NE | @SEA | |
| 25 | Stevie Johnson | BUF | @ARI | |
| 26 | Malcom Floyd | SD | DEN | |
| 27 | Torrey Smith | BAL | DAL | |
| 28 | Pierre Garcon | WAS | MIN | RGIII should be ok, but Garcon is questionable with continuing foot issues. He is a risky play right now. Use him as a WR3 if you need him. We’ll tweet id Garcon ends up sitting for some reason, but we expect him to play. |
| 29 | Michael Crabtree | SF | NYG | |
| 30 | Jeremy Kerley | NYJ | IND | He has a finger issue, but he’ll play and we like him as a WR3 or flex. |
| 31 | Josh Gordon | CLE | CIN | He will get another chance to start due to injury (Benjamin and Massaquoi) and he has some upside. |
| 32 | Randall Cobb | GB | @HOU | |
| 33 | Sidney Rice | SEA | NE | |
| 34 | Mike Williams | TB | KC | |
| 35 | Andre Roberts | ARI | BUF | |
| 36 | Anquan Boldin | BAL | DAL | |
| 37 | Andrew Hawkins | CIN | @CLE | |
| 38 | Donnie Avery | IND | @NYJ | |
| 39 | Darrius Heyward-Bey | OAK | @ATL | He looks good to go. |
| 40 | Nate Burleson | DET | @PHI | |
| 41 | Greg Little | CLE | CIN | |
| 42 | Robert Meachem | SD | DEN | |
| 43 | Davone Bess | MIA | STL | |
| 44 | T.Y. Hilton | IND | @NYJ | |
| 45 | Titus Young | DET | @PHI | Has a nagging knee problem but we expect him to play. He’s listed as probable but will play. |
| 46 | Mario Manningham | SF | NYG | |
| 47 | Jonathan Baldwin | KC | @TB | |
| 48 | Chris Givens | STL | @MIA | |
| 49 | Kevin Walter | HOU | GB | |
| 50 | Golden Tate | SEA | NE | |
| 51 | Brandon Gibson | STL | @MIA | |
| 52 | Jerome Simpson | MIN | @WAS | He’s a risky game time decision with a back issue. |
| 53 | Armon Binns | CIN | @CLE | |
| 54 | Eddie Royal | SD | DEN | |
| 55 | Domenik Hixon | NYG | @SF | Not as viable if Nicks play, which he probably will. |

| 65 | Jason Avant | PHI | DET | |
| 66 | Doug Baldwin | SEA | NE | |
