Matchup We Love: Pierre Garcon, WR
Pierre Garcon had a monster game against San Diego last week, and I think his success should continue this week in a matchup of two pretty poor defenses. The Vikings secondary is terrible, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Garcon and Santana Moss have nice numbers when it's all said and done. The Vikings have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing WRs this year, and I think RG3 and company will give them fits Thursday night.
Analysis: Pierre Garcon is a must-start.
Matchup We Hate: Redskins DEF
I'm a proponent of streaming defenses and playing matchups, and while the Minnesota defense is not good, they still have the best running back in football on their side; despite having no QB and continually facing eight- and nine-man fronts, Adrian Peterson is still a top-ten player in all of fantasy. Remember, this a Redskins defense that let James Starks run all over them this year. I know the rest of the Vikings offense begs for you to take your chances here, but I'm not testing AP, period.
Analysis: Don't be tempted into using Washington's defense this week. Find a better matchup elsewhere.
Key injuries: London Fletcher LB, WAS (probable), Chad Greenway LB, MIN (probable), Letroy Guion DT, MIN (out)
Start 'Em: Robert Griffin III, Pierre Garcon, Santana Moss, Alfred Morris, Adrian Peterson, Kyle Rudolph, Greg Jennings
