23. Jason Campbell - Washington Redskins at Dallas
24. Alex Smith - San Francisco 49ers at Green Bay
25. Vince Young - Tennessee Titans at Houston

Thoughts:

• Schaub gets a surprising nod as the top QB this week. When you couple facing a team that has been torched through the air early and often with a quarterback who is among the league leaders in touchdowns thrown, this is what you get.
• It’s a pretty rare week when you see P. Manning and Brady at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively, isn’t it? For some reason, I don’t think we are going to see that very often the rest of the way.
• Remember when the Giants defense was good? I would think they would make necessary adjustments over their bye week, but the secondary is still just not that good right now. Ryan should be in line for a strong game.
• We all have our doubts about Jay Cutler, especially coming off a five interception game against the 49ers, but he still threw for over 300 yards. I’d look for him to come out looking to make a statement this week.
• Touch matchup or not, Joe Flacco has been too good this season to simply write off.
• Kyle Orton is on the list, but he suffered an ankle injury that forced him out of his Week 10 game in the first half.  Monitor the news closely throughout the week to be sure he’s going to take the field.

What are your thoughts?  Who was left off the list?  Who should be higher?  Who should be lower?
