36. Roy Williams @ Green Bay

37. Kevin Walter @ San Diego

38. Robert Meachem @ Carolina

39. Mario Manningham @ Seattle

40. Jerricho Cotchery @ Detroit

Inside the numbers:

Hakeem Nicks (No. 5) has three 100-yard games and two multiple-TD games in his last four games.
Greg Jennings (No. 6) is averaging 96 yards with two TDs in his last three games.
I couldn’t quite give up on Larry Fitzgerald (No. 7) as much as some people have. I was rewarded with a two-TD performance against Tampa Bay. He should have another solid week against Minnesota’s depleted secondary.
Marques Colston has 16 catches for 187 yards and two TDs in the past two weeks. With all of the injuries in the Saints backfield, look for Colston, Lance Moore (No. 21) and Robert Meachem (No. 39) to be very active against Carolina.
DeSean Jackson likely won’t play this week, making Jeremy Maclin (No. 16) a borderline WR1.
I finally lost hope in Wes Welker (No. 27) despite a favorable matchup.
