If you're someone who doesn't like to set your fantasy lineup until late in the week — once you've gathered all the pertinent information — prepare to change your strategy. With Thursday Night Football returning this week with a matchup of the Bears and 49ers, you no longer have the luxury of waiting until the weekend to finalize your starters.
Coming into the season, probably the hottest name among QB sleepers was the Falcons' Matt Ryan. After flashing signs of stardom as a rookie, it looked like added experience and Atlanta's addition of TE Tony Gonzalez would be exactly what he needed to make a huge leap in Year Two.

There are plenty of things to take into consideration when determining your fantasy starters in a given week: How have they been performing lately? What is their current playing-time situation? What is their matchup like against that week's opponent? Sometimes, it's enough to drive you nuts.
