FanHouse fantasy positional rankings are compiled weekly by the staff in order to provide answers to possible lineup questions. These are assuming most leagues use Fleaflicker's standard scoring structure. If you need clarification, you need more players ranked, or have funky league rules, feel free to shoot us an email question.

This just in, the Cleveland Browns' offense sucks. They can't run, they can't catch, their first quarterback sucked. They then brought in the magical Brady Quinn, and he's now out for the season. Re-enter Derek Anderson, in what are sure-to-be-less-than-lovely conditions up there in Cleveland, and the Colts defense should be licking its chops.

The Browns don't allow sacks often, but they will turn the ball over. They also don't score often, averaging a paltry 19 points a game and sitting at 29th in the league with only 19 offensive touchdowns.

Let's consider that the Colts actually do like to pick the ball off, and don't give up lots of points. I love them as a sleeper this week in all formats.

- The Ravens and the Titans are absolute no-brainers. They are stellar defenses anyway, and happen to be facing two of the worst offenses in the NFL.

- I like the Dolphins for a major bounce-back. The Rams could remedy anything for a fantasy defense, why, just look what they did for the Bears last week. Five sacks and four takeaways were more than the previous three weeks combined. You could say the Bears were angry, after being embarrassed by their division rival. True story. So check out the whole, Patriots 48, Dolphins 28 scene. Is that any different?

- I love the Bucs, but you have to be careful against the Saints. There are fantasy teams who will miss the playoffs due to starting the Packers in Week 12. We're in the home-stretch and it's no time to get cute. Proceed with major caution.
