No-brainers and no-ways? Matchups that look too good to be true certainly can be. And surprise performers lurk in the shadows. It may not be enough to consider lineup changes, but you know what they say about assumptions....

Key Matchup	Reason
Lee Evans, WR, BUF vs. NO DBs	Saints' O forces opponents to play catch-up, equaling garbage-time points - at least this week
Muhsin Muhammad, WR, CAR vs. DAL CBs	Specifically CBs not named Terence Newman; Moose should have a big game against rooks
Nate Washington, WR, TEN vs. Dwight Lowery, CB, NYJ	Tough sledding, Darrelle Revis on Justin Gage? Big game for TEN's new wideout vs. Jets' backup
Jerramy Stevens, TE, TB vs. NYG LBs	Second TE will see more looks with WRs ailing; G-men haven't contained TEs too well yet
Fred Taylor and Laurence Maroney, RBs, NE vs. ATL run D	Pats need to keep pressure off Tom Brady; Falcons' front seven lost big man Peria Jerry in middle
