QUARTERBACK

>> TONY ROMO
Cowboys AT Bears
He threw for 531 yards and six touchdowns in the first two weeks--but as a backup on many fantasy teams, his points were left on the bench. This isn't the week to play Romo , however. Chicago 's defense, despite losing some starters, has allowed two passing TDs, intercepted two passes and had seven sacks.

Matt Leinart
Cardinals at Ravens
He has thrown for 203 yards or fewer in six of seven career road games, and he has no multi-TD games away from Arizona . Since 2005, Baltimore has allowed 300 passing yards twice--to Drew Brees and Carson Palmer .

RUNNING BACK

<< Marshawn Lynch
Bills at Patriots
Just look at what the rookie's predecessor in Buffalo, Willis McGahee , did in five starts against the Pats: 61 yards per game and zero TDs.

Travis Henry
Broncos vs. Jaguars
Jacksonville 's run stuffers held Atlanta to 82�yards. Also, Cecil Sapp and Selvin Young are suddenly in Denver 's backfield mix.

Marion Barber
Cowboys at Bears
Chicago limited LT and LJ to a combined 2.4-yard average. Barber isn't in their class--and he shares carries.

TIGHT END

>> Vernon Davis
49ers at Steelers
Having seen the Rams struggle to take down Davis in a highlight-reel play last week, one might be tempted to start him. But despite facing heavy pressure in Weeks 1 and 2, Alex Smith has completed only two passes per game to his TE. Don't lean on Davis until his QB does.
