| Alex Smith |
SFO |
QB |
19% |
Smith followed up last week's 3 TD performance with 198 yards and 1 TD with an interception. Solid, but not spectacular. Still, he's got a little upside. |
| Vince Young |
TEN |
QB |
9% |
Young didn't do much in his first start, but didn't turn the ball over either. |
| Mark Sanchez |
NYJ |
QB |
38% |
Sanchez had a solid outing with 265 yards and 2 TDs. |
| Trent Edwards |
BUF |
QB |
23% |
Edwards will likely return to the starting lineup this week. When healthy he has averaged about 180 yards and 1 TD. The offensive line hasn't helped him out much. |
| Jason Campbell |
WAS |
QB |
23% |
Campbell returns from his bye week. He's there if you need a bye week or injury fill in. |
| Ryan Moats |
HOU |
RB |
21% |
If you've got the waiver priority, Moats is the guy to pick up this week. He played in place of Slaton and had a huge week. The team hasn't announced him as the starter going forward, but if he continues to produce it will be hard to keep him on the bench. |
| Jamal Lewis |
CLE |
RB |
40% |
He's still the starting RB somehow. If you need some help with byes, he's there. |
| Jamaal Charles |
KCC |
RB |
27% |
Charles will get the start this week with Larry Johnson suspended. If you've got a spot, pick him up and see what he does this week. |
| Darren McFadden |
OAK |
RB |
32% |
Reports are coming out that McFadden is closer to returning. If you're desperate and have a place to stash him, he's there. |
| Maurice Morris |
DET |
RB |
2% |
Morris could get the start this week if Kevin Smith misses time with his shoulder injury. |
| Chris Wells |
ARI |
RB |
48% |
Wells rushed for 47 yards and looked good. The problem is that he isn't getting many carries because the team has more confidence in Hightower in the passing game. |
| Correll Buckhalter |
DEN |
RB |
39% |
Buckhalter has been productive this year, especially in PPR. |
| Justin Fargas |
OAK |
RB |
15% |
Fargas ran for 59 yards and a TD. |
| Jeremy Maclin |
PHI |
WR |
46% |
Maclin will benefit from opposing defenses focusing on DeSean Jackson. He had another solid week with 4 catches for 47 yards and a TD. |
| Michael Jenkins |
ATL |
WR |
24% |
4 catches for 66 yards was pretty good last week. |
| Malcom Floyd |
SDG |
WR |
5% |
The Chargers cut Chris Chambers, opening up the door of opportunity for Floyd. He had 2 catches for 64 yards last week. |
| Isaac Bruce |
SFO |
WR |
10% |
Bruce may benefit from having Alex Smith at the helm. He ahd 4 catches for 51 yards last week. He did have a couple of drops, but he could help you out in a bind - especially in PPR leagues. |
| Anthony Gonzalez |
IND |
WR |
43% |
Gonzalez has been practicing some and is getting closer to returning. |
| Dustin Keller |
NYJ |
TE |
48% |
Keller had 13 targets last week, leading all tight ends. |
| Fred Davis |
WAS |
TE |
12% |
When Chris Cooley went down with a broken ankle during Week 7, Davis stepped in and had a very productive week. He was on bye last week and is available in most leagues if you need him this week. |
| Jermichael Finley |
GBP |
TE |
15% |
He may get back from injury this week. If so, he could help you out in a pinch. |
