In every fantasy line-up, every week there are perilous decisions that can make or break a fantasy victory. While no other person can ever tell a GM who to play - only the owner can truly make that call - a little advice couldn't hurt, right? Each week we will glance at some players that deserve consideration for a starting spot this weekend and a few that owners might want to think twice about playing due to tough match-ups or extenuating circumstances.

Quarterback Rankings

Deserves a second look:
Lyle Moevao, Oregon State (Washington State)
Beavers lost to PSU by 31. They are 30.5-point favorites this week.

Tyler Sheehan, Bowling Green (@ Akron)
Last two: 585 yds, 4 TD, 0 INT, 2 rush TD.

Austen Arnaud, Iowa State (@ Baylor)
The 12th ranked fantasy QB in the Big 12 is solid option this week.

Trevor Vittatoe, UTEP (Tulane)
Slowly but surely he is coming around (7 TDs in last two games).

Boo Jackson, Ohio (@ Kent State)
Kent State is 101st in scoring defense and 98th in total defense.

Corey Leonard, Arkansas State (La-Mon.)
Last week, ULM allowed 728 yds to La-Laf.

Better Think Twice:
Tim Tebow, Florida (LSU)
LSU was the worst fantasy week of his '07 campaign.

Pat White, West Virginia (Syracuse)
If healthy, he is a must play. Just too brittle right now.

Mark Sanchez, USC (Arizona State)
Way too many ground weapons. Even the Trojan D will score.

Colt McCoy, Texas (Oklahoma - neutral field)
Total of (-13) rush yds in two games against OU. Averaging 63.4 in '08.

Adam Weber, Minnesota (@ Illinois)
Last two: 461 yds, TD, INT, (-44) rush yds.

Running Back Rankings

Deserves a second look:
Lonyae Miller, Fresno State (Idaho)
Thirty-four point favorite over Vandals. H.U.G.E.

Victor Anderson, Louisville (Memphis)
300 tot. yds, 5 TD since being put on nat'l TV. UM @ UL, tonight, 8 pm.

Sam McGuffie, Michigan (Toledo)
Big Blue D will put Big Blue O in fantasy friendly situations all game.

Jeremiah Johnson, Oregon (UCLA)
With Blount a question mark, Johnson could see bulk of workload. Finally.

Better Think Twice:
Rodney Ferguson, New Mexico (@ BYU)
Cougars have allowed a total of 14 points in last three games (3-0).

Kory Sheets, Purdue (@ Ohio State)
Managed just 20 yards on seven carries in only game against Bucks (0 TD).

P.J. Hill, Wisconsin (Penn State)
Has mustered only 133 yards and one TD in Big Ten play this season (0-2).

Any USC Trojan (Arizona State)
Gable, McKnight, Havili, Bradford, Tyler, Green, Johnson. Throw a dart.

Wide Receiver Rankings

Deserves a second look:
 Damian Williams, USC (Arizona State)
Easily Sanchez' favorite target.

Mardy Gilyard / Dominick Goodman, Cincy (Rutgers)
Combining for 12.6 rec, 181 yds, 2+ TD per game so far in this fall.

R.J. Sumrall, Iowa State (@ Baylor)
Will be Arnaud's top target in what could be a shoot out.

Sammie Stroughter / James Rodgers, Oregon St (Wash St)
See Lyle Moevao.

Andre Jones, Akron (Bowling Green)
Has caught a touchdown in four of Akron's first six games in '08.

Better Think Twice:
Stephen Williams, Toledo (@ Michigan)
If Ball State can shut the Rockets out (31-0), what will Michigan do?

Brandon Gibson, Washington State (@ Oregon State)
No quarterback. No play-calling. No ground game. No-chance.

Greg Orton, Purdue (@ Ohio State)
Last three: 17 rec, 159 yds, 0 TD. And at Ohio State?

Kenny Britt / Tiquan Underwood, Rutgers (@ Cincinnati)
Biggest disappointment of 2008? Plus, Bearcats have great CBs.

Tight End Rankings

Defensive Rankings

Top waiver wire spot starts:
1. Georgia Tech (Gardner-Webb)
2. Utah (@ Wyoming)
3. Miami-FL (UCF)
4. Oregon (UCLA)
5.  Michigan (Toledo)
