Every week, we preview all of the upcoming games from a fantasy perspective. To help you with lineup decisions regarding most non-superstar players, we give you matchups to exploit, key starting choices and advice on whom to leave on your bench.

Arizona at Dallas: The Cowboys will likely take out their frustrations on the Cardinals after a tight loss at Seattle last week. Expect Drew Bledsoe to get lots of time to throw, and Keyshawn Johnson will present matchup problems for the Arizona secondary. Terry Glenn should also go deep for a big gain or two. Josh McCown will have to throw often to keep pace, and that could mean more than one turnover. Dallas CB Terence Newman has played well recently, and might prevent Larry Fitzgerald from rolling up good yardage numbers. Start and Smile: Drew Bledsoe, Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn. Watch and Worry: Josh McCown.

Buffalo at New England: The possible return of Tedy Bruschi might be inspirational in terms of leading the Patriots to a win, but the defense is still banged up. Kelly Holcomb should locate Eric Moulds often on key passing downs, and he might finally start to hook up with Lee Evans on deep balls. Willis McGahee should break through an injury-riddled defensive line for some good totals and at least one rushing score. The Patriots should be able to move the ball well on the ground, and Tom Brady should be very efficient as a quality running game gives him additional support en route to another good statistical outing. Start and Smile: Kelly Holcomb, Eric Moulds, Lee Evans, Tom Brady. Watch and Worry: Bills and Patriots defense/special teams units.
