Because we all spend way too much time each week working on our fantasy teams anyway, here at the NFC East blog we like to take one post a week and focus it entirely on fantasy football. This is that post. It shows where our division's key players fall in this week's rankings by ESPN.com's fantasy football experts. Click on the position to see the full rankings for that position.

QUARTERBACKS

T5. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants (Mon.)

9. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles

10. Eli Manning, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

I honestly think Romo's too low. The past two quarterbacks to play the Eagles have won NFC Offensive Player of the Week awards. Romo himself was 19-for-26 for 209 yards and two touchdowns against the Eagles three weeks ago, but Philadelphia's pass defense has reached new depths since then. They're literally not covering anyone. On the flip side, neither Nick Foles nor Michael Vick is in this week's top 25. Vick looks to be out again with a concussion, and Foles isn't doing anything in his stead.

RUNNING BACKS

9. Alfred Morris, Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

13. Ahmad Bradshaw, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

14. Bryce Brown, Eagles at Dallas

T27. Felix Jones, Cowboys vs. Eagles

41. David Wilson, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

43. DeMarco Murray, Cowboys vs. Eagles

I picked up Wilson in a league in which I've already secured a playoff spot, but I didn't do it because I expect him to assume Andre Brown's touchdown-maker role. I did it because of the reasonable chance he's the Giants' starting running back in at least one of the next four games. If you're desperate, you could use him this week on the off chance he breaks a big one, but Bradshaw's likely to get those goal-line carries Brown was getting, as long as he stays healthy. Speaking of healthy, it appears Murray might play Sunday night, but that situation is murky enough that I might stay away from it and just play the Cowboys passing-game guys this week against Philly. Especially since you might not know Murray's status until after all of the early games are over.

WIDE RECEIVERS

8. Dez Bryant, Cowboys vs. Eagles

T9. Victor Cruz, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

11. Hakeem Nicks, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

24. Pierre Garcon, Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

28. Miles Austin, Cowboys vs. Eagles

39. Jeremy Maclin, Eagles at Dallas

46. Santana Moss, Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

Nicks and Cruz are every-week musts, and the matchup against the Redskins' pass defense is enticing. But man, those Redskins have a way of giving the Giants' passing offense fits. Other than the one big play that won the Giants the Week 7 game, Manning hasn't thrown a touchdown pass against Washington over the past two seasons. Austin's low ranking is health-related, I have to assume. Ed Werder has been reporting this week that Austin will play, and if he does I would start him. Garcon as a low WR2/high WR3 in 12-team leagues seems about right, especially with 10 days' rest.

TIGHT ENDS

3. Jason Witten, Cowboys vs. Eagles

12. Martellus Bennett, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

22. Brent Celek, Eagles at Dallas

25. Logan Paulsen, Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

Starting to feel redundant, but yeah, Witten. If I'm trying to make the fantasy playoffs and I can start a guy who's going to be running pass routes against the Eagles, I'm going to start him.

KICKERS

1. Lawrence Tynes, Giants at Washington (Mon.)

9. Dan Bailey, Cowboys vs. Eagles

T17. Kai Forbath, Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

All of the division's kickers have been good, including unranked Alex Henery of Philadelphia. Tynes' team gives him the most chances, though.

TEAM DEFENSE

9. Cowboys vs. Eagles

16. Giants at Washington (Mon.)

24. Redskins vs. Giants (Mon.)

T27. Eagles at Dallas

Yeah, Cowboys are the only NFC East defense I'd start this week. But I'd feel pretty good about doing it.
