One key one-on-one encounter sticks out for fantasy football nuts this week, but which Week 7 face-offs sit below the surface?

Key Matchup	Reason
Steven Jackson, RB, STL vs. Bob Sanders, SS, IND	Returning Sanders helps IND run D; if STL falls behind, S-Jax may become non-factor
Miles Austin, WR, DAL vs. Brent Grimes, CB, ATL	CB Brian Williams done for '09; 10-250-2 again? No, but Austin should toy with tiny Grimes
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, NE vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers front 7	TB a sieve; can't count on NE sticking w/ Laurence Maroney; BJGE a low-end flex play
Malcom Floyd, WR, SD vs. Kansas City Chiefs secondary	Floyd a matchup problem for any nickel back, AVG 15.89 yards per grab vs. KC last year
David Clowney, WR, NYJ vs. Chris X. Johnson, CB, OAK	Asomugha on Braylon Edwards + OAK LBs on Dustin Keller = opp for fast Clowney
