Cardinals at 49ers
Start Em:
Brian Hoyer is a quarterback who can actually get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald.

ARZ: None.
SF: RB Frank Gore, WR Michael Crabtree, 49ers Defense.
Sit Em:
Chris Wells doesn’t appear to be 100 percent.
Vernon Davis may not play coming off a concussion. He hasn’t done much anyway.

Rams at Seahawks
Start Em:
Ruskell Wilkens is my No. 6 quarterback this week. Check my fantasy weekly rankings for more.
STL: RB Steven Jackson, WR Danny Amendola.
