Greg Jennings, WR, Packers - This one pains me personally because I have him in just about every league, but none the less Jennings is just not producing. Did you know that Jennings has 14 receptions (as the number 1 receiver for this team) and that Donald Driver has 25 and James Jones has 15. Jennings will now see more double teams as defenses will move safeties away from covering the Packers TEs (Jermichael Finely is out.) Look for Driver to have good numbers this week though, as Aaron Rodgers is now likely to play. If some some reason he doesn't I'd bench all Packers.
Suitable replacements: Danny Ammendola, Michael Crabtree
Any Giants WR not named Nicks - Over the past few weeks Hakeem Nicks has established himself as the number one WR for the Giants. Sorry for those of you that drafted Steve Smith and Mario Manningham before him, but Nicks is the guy.
Suitable replacements: The guys mentioned under Jennings, Pierre Garcon, Roy Williams
Hines Ward, WR, Steelers - Everyone seems to think that now that Big Ben is back the Ward will get really hot. I happen to think that the beneficiary of Roethlisberger's return is Mike Wallance and the Steelers run game. Please temper your exceptions for Ward.
Suitable replacements: The guys previously mentioned, Nate Washington
Darren McFadden, RB, Raiders and Calvin Johnson, WR, Lions - I'm not doctor, but as we saw with Andre Johnson, playing after injury hurts your production. Most guys return before being 100% (look at Larry Fitzgerald week 1) and they just aren't themselves. Sit these guys until they get back to full strength.
Suitable replacements: Michael Bush, Felix Jones
