Baltimore Ravens at NY Jets: The Jets think they are Super Bowl favorites, but suspension to Holmes, and a Revis holdout will hamper their hopes for a quick start. Yes, Revis is good and has been staying in shape, but game play shape is another monster and he won't be in there every series, leaving Boldin available for a few good catches. The Jets will pound the rock, especially after seeing Sanchez' poor pre-season performances, but Baltimore will be ready. A defense built on veteran experience but always adding young blood, the Ravens will shut down the run and force Sanchez to beat them through the air. With the focus on Boldin and the run game, look for Mason to post good numbers.
Fantasy starts: Flacco (250 yds. 2 TD) Rice (14 for 60 yds. 3 catch for 20 yds. 1 TD) JETS: L.T. (5 catches for 60 yds. 1 TD) Cotchery (4 for 50 yds. 1 TD) SLEEPER: Houshmenzadeh, who I believe will sneak in for a score Monday night.
San Diego Chargers at KC Chiefs: The Chiefs are always tough at home, but they get outmatched with the level of talent the Chargers have. McCluster is out, so look for more passing to the backs as SD focuses on Dwayne Bowe. Hailey will center the attention on the aerial game, leaving SD running all over them.
Fantasy Starts: All SD big names: Rivers (250 yds. 2 TD) Gates ( 6 for 80 yds. 1 TD) Matthews (17 for 90 yds. 1 TD) KC: Charles (10 for 60 yds. 4 catch for 30 yds. 1 TD) Jones ( 13 for 60 yds. 1 TD) SLEEPER: Naanee, with the focus on Floyd, Gates, and the run game, he gets open for a score and 40 yds.
