Carson Palmer -- Palmer looked like an elite QB Sunday hitting his targets for 2 touchdowns and 327 yards passing. Fitzgerald is still an elite receiver to go along with his other weapons like deep threat Michael Floyd and the speedy Andre Roberts. Palmer threw for the 10th most yards and threw the 10th most passes Sunday.
Other QBs to consider picking up: Terrelle Pryor (112 rush yds) Phillip Rivers (4 TDs)
RB
Knowshon Moreno -- There weren't very many breakout running backs this week but Moreno got the start at tailback for the Broncos and had a decent game getting 9 carries for 28 yards but he caught 3 passes for 37 yards. Denver is a running back by committee but he will see the most carries, at least for the next couple of weeks.
Other RBs to consider: Pierre Thomas (43 rush yds, 4 catches) Joquie Bell (2 rush TDs, 67 receiving yards) Alfonso Smith (10 carries)
Jerome Simpson -- There are a ton of WR for you to pickup but Jerome Simpson stands out. He caught 7 balls for 140 yards on 8 targets and seems like Ponder's only deep threat. Simpson is built like a track star and can burn DBs for long receptions.
Other WRs to consider: Rueben Randle (5 catches 101 yds) Harry Douglas (4 catches 93 yds) Julian Edlemen (7 catches 79 yds 2 TDs) Marlon Brown (4 catches 65 yds 1 TD) Leonard Hankerson (5 catches 80 yds 2 TDs)
TE
Julius Thomas -- The former college basketball player had a huge game Thursday night in Denver. He came up huge time and time again in the first half with 2 touchdowns and long receptions. He finished the game with a total of 110 receiving yards.
Other TEs to consider: Kellen Winslow (7 catches 79 yards 1 TD) Dallas Clark (7 catches 87 yards)
