FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: Week 15
FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: WEEK 14
By Gayle Saunders
Lets get ready for week 14! If you’re trying to get to the next level, be crafty my friends. Don’t try to get too cute by making moves when you don’t have to. Make sure you have your head ready to go deep into the playoffs. I’m rolling into this week in 1st place in my fantasy leagues at 11-2 (What did you expect?) By the way whats your record? If you need some advice for this week please look below. Good Luck this week!
QUARTERBACKS
Christian Ponder -Minnesota Vikings - Ponder put up some numbers this past weekend with 381 passing yards and 3 TDS. The downside he had 3 turnovers as well. He has six touchdown passes in his last three games. But the reality is the rookie has five interceptions in his last three games. If in need the rookie is hot or cold.
Matt Moore -Miami Dolphins - Moore is a crafty dude and he can get you points in various ways. Last week it wasn’t so pretty but he did run five times for 22 yards, including a running TD. On the day Moore finished with 162 passing yards and a TD, having completed 13 of 25 passes. Moore now has six total touchdowns over the last three games and nine scores over the last five. Moore does get a questionable Philly defense next week. and solid matchups against the Bills and Patriots the next two weeks.
Rex Grossman – Washington Redskins - You can never know what to expect from Rex, but the only promising thing I can tell you, is that he gets the New England Patriots. Positive news right? The Patriots just gave up 353 yards to Dan Orvlosky??? Rex has a good shot to get his “passing on” this week. If any week to possibly play him…its this week.
TJ Yates – Houston Texans- Somebody has to throw the ball in Houston and Yates wasn’t too shabby on Sunday. On the day he completed 12 of 25 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown lets not forget he went up against a tough Falcons defense. He didn’t look too bad considering it was his first NFL start.
RUNNING BACKS
Marion Barber -Chicago Bears - Barber gained 44 yards on his 14 carries, he had 0 receptions coming in for Forte. Nothing to exciting folks however, He will be a popular add this week. He does get a tough Broncos defense in week 14. He has flex potential but thats about it, The Bears offense looks lifeless these days.
Roy Helu – Washington Redskins- If he’s still there for you…grab him asap. Helu balled out rushing for 100 yards on 23 carries. He topped 100 yards for the second straight game and added a rushing TD. In the passing game, he also had four grabs for 42 yards as he was targeted six times. A no brainer grab here.
Maurice Morris – Detroit Lions - Kevin Smith is made of glass as he reinjured his ankle again. Morris had 17 touches on the day against the Saints and had 28 yards on 12 carries, and 5 catches for 47 yards and a TD. Morris will have an expanded role vs. the Vikings…believe that. He is def worthy of a flex play this week esepcially in PPR leagues. (Yup he’s on my bench already folks)
Donald Brown -Indianapolis Colts - Once again, Brown leads the Colts backfield in stats. He recorded 14 carries for a team-high 41 yards and a touchdown. Even though Addai is in the mix his nagging injuries are effecting his value. The only reliable force the last couple of weeks has been Donald Brown. He gets a tough Ravens defense this week though. Look to use him against the Titans in Week 15.
Toby Gerhart – Minnesota Vikings - Gerhart came alive on sunday with 91 rushing yards and 8 grabs for 42 yards. If in fact Adrian Peterson sits again, Gerhart is a must play. He does get a tough Lions defense but he’s worth a flex play for sure.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Demaryius Thomas – Denver Broncos - Thomas will have to thank Eddie Royal for getting injured because in his absence he had four catches for 144 yards, and 2 TDS. One word to focus on is “unreliable” here. He gets a tough Bears defense this week, But he gets the Patriots in Week 15 and in week 16 the Bills. If your in a deeper league he’s worth a play here. If you’re a gambling man or woman throw him in as a flex play if you have no other options. Check back to see the status of Eddie Royal moving forward.
Johnny Knox – Chicago Bears - If Caleb Hanie is still around he’s going to look Knox’s way for sure. Out of all the receivers Knox was the most-targeted on Sunday. He had 5 catches for 53 yards, This weekend he goes up against the Broncos secondary which was shredded by Percy Harvin. He’s a risky play if anything, but to make the playoffs sometimes you gotta take chances. You play to win the game don’t you?
Brad Smith – Buffalo Bills – Smith got the starting nod on Sunday and put up some decent numbers. 7 grabs for 72 yards folks. The most impressive thing was that he got targeted 10 times. The last two weeks he has put up 149 yards and looks to have added value in PPR leagues.
Golden Tate – Seattle Seahawks - The youngster got the starting nod as well with Sidney Rice placed on IR, Against the Eagles, he had 4 grabs for 47 yards and a TD. That now makes two games in a row where he’s scored a TD. He gets a nice matchup with the Rams secondary who are the worst pass defenses in the NFL. If its any week to use Tate…its this one.
Damian Williams – Tennessee Titans - He’s been targeted by Hasselbeck early and often the last couple of weeks. His team may be coming behind in this next matchup vs. the Saints so he could see increased numbers. After the Saints, he gets the Colts in Week 15, Do you see the upside I’m talking about?
Riley Cooper – Philadelphia Eagles - Again with Young under center Cooper led the Eagles in receiving yards with 94 yards. Vick looks like he’ll probably be back, so do monitor the situation. Please look at Maclins health as well, because if he’s playing there’s no use in deploying Cooper. With Maclin and Jackson up and down, Cooper has come up with most of the plays as of late.
Nate Burleson- Detroit Lions - He put up some decent numbers vs. the Saints with five catches for 93 yards. The thing is, he could’ve had even more yards and catches if he didn’t get flagged with so many pass interferences. The upside is this… he has four straight games with 5 grabs which makes him valuable in PPR leagues. He gets a Vikings secondary this week which makes him a great play.
TIGHT ENDS
Jermaine Gresham – Cincinnati Bengals - No Not again! Yup Gresham had a another touchdown stolen from his fantasy owners for the second week in a row. He was also overthrown on another potential scoring play. On the day he caught just three passes for 37 yards in the loss. The positive here…he’s getting targeted early and often, making him the second most targeted Bengals reciever.
DEFENSE
Denver Broncos- Even thought the Broncos D got shredded versus the Vikings they did come up with three turnovers and even scored a TD. With Von Miller back in the mix they should play tough against a Cutler-Forte less Bears offense. The Broncos are playing inspired.
Seattle Seahawks - Seahawks are playing some defense folks. They’ve held 3 of the last 4 teams they’ve played to 17 points or less. Last thursday against the Eagles they forced 4 turnovers and the news gets better this week as they get a Rams Offense that has been unimpressive. A solid defensive play this week.
FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: Week 13
By Gayle Saunders
Lets get ready for week 13! If you’re trying to get into the playoffs and beat that douche in your office league listen up! Here are some crafty pickups for week 13.
QUARTERBACKS
Vince Young -Philadelphia Eagles - With Vicks health a concern and his ribs still iffy, a Young pick up makes sense, especially after he threw for 400 yards and 1 TD. Don’t forget he added another 40 yds. If he’s in the lineup the next two weeks he gets the Seahawks and the Dolphins. Be sure you monitor the QB situation in Philly.
Kyle Orton – Kansas City Chiefs - Somebody has to play QB in Kansas City right? The Chiefs offense needs stability and Orton may be that guy for them. His next few matchups are pretty harsh for a QB learning a new system with the Bears and the Jets followed by the Packers. If in need at QB, Orton could help. (Owners of Dwayne Bowe keep praying for things to turn around)
Matt Moore -Miami Dolphins - In the last two weeks Mr. Moore has 4 TDS and 0 ints. Moore has 7 TDs over the last month and he is a big reason for the turn around in Miami. Moore gets the Oakland Raiders this week who’ve allowed at least 2 TD passes in each of the past 4 games and 9 of the last 10. The numbers don’t lie folks, If its any week to play Moore its this week.
Rex Grossman – Washington Redskins - Grossman is fantasy relevant again folks and with 5 TD’s and 606 passing yards in the last 2 games He gets a feisty Jets defense next week, but after that its the Patriots and the Vikings. Look his way if in need.
TJ Yates – Houston Texans- Again somebody has to throw the ball in Houston with One game wonder Leinart gone now. I’m not to crazy about Yates, but keep an eye on him this week to see how he progresses. Don’t forget he has a helluva a running game and Andre Johnson to throw to.
RUNNING BACKS
Roy Helu – Washington Redskins- If only Shanahan would keep this kid locked in as “his” guy we could see numbers like this every week from Helu 108 yards, 1 TD and 7 receptions for 54 yards. Not bad eh? Helu is worth adding to your roster no matter whose on it. If available stash him or start him in PPR leagues!
Maurice Morris – Detroit Lions - With the Lions backfield ya never know what you’re gonna get and with Best gone (I cry) and now Kevin Smith iffy as usual, the last man standing is Morris. Kevin Smith could be back soon, but either way he splits time with Morris who is a great play in PPR leagues. You did see that he had 9 catches for 81 yards right?
Joe McKnight – New York Jets -If Tomlinson is a no go check back with Joe McKnight. Even though he was held in check last week, he did get 4 carries for 21 yards and 3 receptions for 19 yards and 106 return yards. He is a decent runner and fantasy owners should consider him a possible flex option in Week 13 at Washington especially in PPR leagues. He is a no brainer if you get return yards in your leagues.
Donald Brown -Indianapolis Colts - Addai is back and what does that mean to Donald Brown? Absolutely nothing. Brown racked up 97 total yards and a TD. Look for Brown to be more involved going forward until someone challenges him for his #1 spot. He’s worth putting on your bench as long as he continues to get his “beast” on.
Toby Gerhart – Minnesota Vikings - Gerhart is worthy of a roster spot while Peterson is out…of course. He had 63 combined yds with a TD last week. My guess is AP isn’t going to play and if that is the case look Toby’s way for your filler. He gets Denver next week which got shredded by San Diego last week. (mental notes folks)
WIDE RECEIVERS
Greg Little – Cleveland Browns - Little had 1 TD and 5 catches for 57 yards vs. the Bengals. For the 3rd straight week he’s posted at least five receptions and 50 yards. The positive here folks is he’s getting targeted by McCoy often. If you play in a ppr league, Little has some value.
Johnny Knox – Chicago Bears -Even though Knox had Caleb Hanie throwing him the rock, he did manage to get targeted 10 times, which equaled 4 grabs and 145 yards and a TD. Knox can make the big catch as we’ve seen as of late. Keep your eye on Knox because maybe we haven’t seen the last of the Hanie/Knox connection.
Damian Williams – Tennessee Titans - Williams has three scores in the past four weeks and looks to be Matt Hasselbeck’s go to guy down around the goal line. The Titans get a banged up Bills secondary and get the Colts in Week 15.
Riley Cooper – Philadelphia Eagles - Cooper has been a deep sleeper of mine for some time. Cooper now has 146 yards and a touchdown on eight catches over the last two weeks. He’s shown some playmaking ability as of late, with DeSean Jackson coming up lame. If Vick and Maclin are back he’s not worth a pickup, but if Vince Young is under center look Coopers way.
Jason Avant- Philadelphia Eagles - Avant got busy last week pulled in 8 catches for 110 yards and a TD. With Jackson and Maclin hot and cold, Avant is worth a look, as he’s been consistent as of late. With the Eagles normally coming from behind he is a likely a check down option, which equals alot of quality garbage catches.
TIGHT ENDS
Marcedes Lewis – Jacksonville Jaguars - Lewis has gotten into the mix as of late as he’s had 11 catches for 111 yards in the last 2 games. If in need at TE, Lewis is getting targeted these days and has some favorable matchups against Tampa Bay and Tennessee down the road.
Brent Celek- Philadelphia Eagles - Celek is averaging 5.5 receptions and 64 yards with two touchdowns over the last 6 games. The next two defenses he faces are Seattle and Miami. Both teams have had issues with Tight Ends. Celek gets the cowboys the last week of the season and he shredded them in the first game.
Jermaine Gresham – Cincinnati Bengals - Gresham came up big with five catches, 68 yards, and a TD versus the Browns. Gresham is developing a nice relationship with Andy Dalton. He’s worth a grab as he’s scored a touchdown in two of his last 3 games.
DEFENSE
Denver Broncos- Don’t look now but the Broncos are playing some defense. They get a Vikings team next week that’s averaging just 14 points over the last couple of games. Either way the Broncos D is holding down the fort! Without Adrian Peterson in the lineup Denver gets a great matchup.
San Diego Chargers- The Chargers get the Jags offense which has been pretty bad as of late. The Jaguars haven’t even cracked more than 20 points this season. So…if its anytime to play the Chargers Defense its now.
FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: Week 12
By Gayle Saunders
Lets get ready for week 12! There are no more bye weeks folks and its now a good time to start thinking playoffs!!! (in My Jim Mora voice) If you’re looking for some players for this week or perhaps deep sleepers to help you make a run in the playoffs, look no further. Below you’ll find some crafty pickups for week 12.
QUARTERBACKS
Carson Palmer – Oakland Raiders – Again dont sleep on Carson folks. Although he came short in the yards passing, he still threw 2 touchdown passes. He gets a tough Bears team next week and that means he’ll be more than likely passing the ball alot. Look for more passing yards and perhaps another two touchdowns. I’m telling you now with Darren McFadden back in the mix, things could get explosive.
Josh Freeman – Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Believe it or not but the young stud has been dropped in some circles. He This past week he got back to his old self throwing for 342 yards and 2 TDs against Green Bay. Don’t forget that Freeman gets the Titans, Panthers and the Jaguars the next 3 games. Get the picture?
Matt Leinart- Houston Texans- You never know what your gonna get right? Life is like a box a chocolates and lets hope that Leinart is like that Forrest Gump saying. A healthy Andre Johnson and an explosive running game are nice weapons to have. You can lean on a tough 1-2 run game and take risks with Johnson. If in need its worth the risk!
Alex Smith -San Francisco 49ers - Smith opened up the passing game last week with the Cardinals secondary throwing for 267 yards and had multiple TDs. Too bad the Cardinals D isn’t the Ravens Defense, but the 49ers are playing balanced football so that means you could still get some TD passes. He’s targeted his Tight End Vernon Davis by the goaline which is a bonus. Roll him out if you’re in need. Don’t forget that he gets the Rams and Cardinals the next two games, closing out with the Seahawks and Rams. All favorable matchups!!!
Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals - Dalton put up some stats this past weekend versus a tough Baltimore Defense. He even had a TD called back don’t forget. On the day he threw for 373 yards with his back up receivers putting up big numbers. Dalton does have multiple TDs in six of his last seven games. He has some upside in weeks to come so stash him on your bench.
Matt Moore -Miami Dolphins - Don’t sleep on Moore people. On Sunday he threw 3 touchdowns and has six scores during the Dolphins 3 game win streak. He gets a Cowboys team this week that has built some swagger, but he’s playing confident. Moore gets an Oakland defense, and favorable defenses in the Patriots and the Bills to come.
Rex Grossman – Washington Redskins - Grossman is always a gamble , but ya never know when “Sexy Rexy” shows up or the “Messy Rexy” shows up. Grossman can easily throw 4 picks in a game (Eagles Game) or throw three TDs in a game (Cowboys game) He does have some favorable matchups down the road in New England, Minnesota and Seattle. Owners beware, he’s a complete gamble.
Jake Locker -Tennessee Titans- Hasselbeck left last weeks game injured and Locker provided the spark for the offense. In limited time he put up 140 yds with 2 TD’s. You will have to monitor this situation to see if Hasselbeck misses any time. If so, look Lockers way, as the rookie could give you some decent stats with some rushing yards to boot! Do not sleep on Lockers wheels, the kid can run!
RUNNING BACKS
Kevin Smith – Detroit Lions - If you are a Jahvid Best owner, this is your pick up this week. Smith got busy this week with 140 rushing yards, 61 receiving yards, and 3TDs on the day. Yea thats a whole lotta stats…no? He also gets a Carolina defense this week, that can easily be run on. With no timetable on Jahvid Best return…the answer for you is why not?
Ryan Grant -Green Bay Packers -James Starks sprained his knee last week and with a shortened week (They play on Thursday) Starks is probably a no go for the Detroit game, Grant would be the main guy, if Starks cant go. I’m not saying either guy is putting up numbers with all the weapons in Green Bay, so with that said, if you need a filler at RB look his way.
Chris Ogbonnaya -Cleveland Browns - Ogbonnaya showed up nicely last week with 115 rushing yards and a TD. You will have to monitor this situation going forward as Montario Hardesty is back in the mix and is practicing. I own both these guys in one league and this situation could be interchangebale by the week.
C.J. Spiller -Buffalo Bills – With Fred Jackson status up in their air you might want to give Spiller a look. You must monitor if Fred Jackson is a go. Jackson is 40 percent of that Bills offense so Spiller could be featured lovely. Def a flex play in need.
Joe McKnight – New York Jets -Shonn Greene and LaDainian Tomlinson are hurting these days so depending on the status of Tomlinson look his way, McKnight had 121 total yards on 22 touches against Denver. Greene has a good chance to play but McKnight could be used as a 3rd down back which means he could pick up some catches for you PPR (points per reception) league owners.
Donald Brown -Indianapolis Colts - Brown started, and was more effective than rookie Delone Carter, who had just six carries for 14 yards. Brown has played well recently, and should continue to see a lot of work, especially until Joseph Addai (hamstring) returns. He’s worth a look if you need a plug and play at RB.
Toby Gerhart – Minnesota Vikings - With Adrian Peterson possibly out, Gerhart is worth a look if in need. Gerhart is worth considering as a short-term plug-in for anyone needing some running back help and that is about it. Gerhart only had 18 yards on seven carries, nothing to get hyped about here.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Jerome Simpson – Cincinnati Bengals - With A.J. Green out, Simpson came up huge with 8 catches for 152 yards. His situation all depends on AJ Green’s health, if he’s a no go Simpson is worth a play.
Michael Crabtree -San Francisco 49ers- Crabtree is back folks, and he delivered against the Cardinals. Crabtree had 120 yards on seven grabs. Crabtree gets the Ravens this week so it could be a tough road this week. However, Baltimore got shredded last week for 400 passing yards against the Bengals. Down the road Crabtree has some nice matchups so stash him now.
Jabar Gaffney -Washington Redskins - With Rex Grossman Gaffney has more upside and will look at Gaffney down field, Gaffney had a 11 targets, 7 catches for 115 yards and a TD. He has scored a touchdown in two of the last three games folks. As long as Santana Moss is iffy Gaffney is “The Guy” in the Redskins offense.
Nate Burleson -Detroit Lions - If you look at the last two games, you’ll notice that Burleson has put up some decent stats. With 15 catches for 146 yards and a score. He gets a Green Bay bay defense that has given up some passing yards lately. In PPR leagues he is worth a look with (Megatron) Calvon Johnson getting all the Defenses attention, Burleson can slip through the cracks and get get some love from Stafford.
Harry Douglas – Atlanta Falcons - Monitor the situation with Julio Jones health before deploying Douglas. Don’t forget two weeks ago he was targeted 14 times with Jones out of the lineup. Last week he had 4 catches for 51 yards nothing to get excited about but he was still in the mix.
Earl Bennett – Chicago Bears -Last week he was targeted 9 times and over the last 3 weeks he has at least 75 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was Cutler’s go to guy and with Cutler gone now, Hanie is sure to look his way. The Bears have some favorable matchups down the stretch. You’ll have to monitor the situation to see if the rapport is there with Hanie and Bennett.
Damian Williams – Tennessee Titans - With Nate Washington back you’ll have to monitor this situation going forward. Even though he came up lame last week, he was targeted 11 times against the Falcons, which is something you have to take notice of.
Riley Cooper – Philadelphia Eagles - Cooper has been a deep sleepr of mine for some time. Last week he finally got a solid look with Maclin out. He had 5 catches for 75 yards and a TD against the Gmen. If Maclin is back it changes Coopers effectiveness. If Vick is back it also changes his worth. Vince Young favors him due there scout team chemistry.
TIGHT ENDS
Heath Miller – Pittsburgh Steelers - If he’s still out there, Miller has been pretty effective this year. He gets the Kansas City chiefs who were shredded by Gronkowski so if you own him or he’s out there make sure you play him this week.
Jermaine Gresham – Cincinnati Bengals - Woulda,Coulda,Shouda Us what you could say about the score Gresham could have had last week, if they didnt call back his touchdown. Gresham gets a Cleveland defense who can easily be exploited by tight ends. The last time they faced eachother he had 6 grabs, 58 yards, and a TD. I’m just saying.
Kellen Winslow-Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Not sure what got into the Bucs offense last week, but either way you look at it Kellen Winslow was a big part of it. In 3 of the last 4 games Winslow has scored a TD brought in over 100 yards. Respectable stats? I think yes! Next 3 matchups are the Titans, Panthers and the Jaguars.
Jacob Tamme- Indianapolis Colts- Yes Jacob Tamme is relevant again…who knew? With Dallas Clark still iffy you gotta look Tammes way at TE. The game before the bye he had 6 cathces for 75 yards…Not too shabby. Don’t get too excited for the return of Tamme remember Painter is throwing him the ball. If in need at the TE position, why not?
DEFENSE
Seattle Seahawks- You know Grossman is always due to turnover the rock, so thats a positive right there. The Seahawks defense has showed up lately and they’ve only given up 24 points in the last two games. Don’t forget they play at home and have the twelfth man at home to help out.
Washington Redskins- The Redskins get a Seattle offense who like to run the rock, but passing the ball isn’t their forte these days and I could see the Redskins trying to make a statement after last week big loss to the Cowboys.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Anytime when you know you facing a rookie QB as a defense its somethign to get excited about. They get to possibly face Jake Locker folks. So ya never know what could happen, maybe a couple of INT’s and a pick 6 in the making? essee. The next two matchups are against the Panthers and the Jaguars.

FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: Week 11
By Gayle Saunders
Lets get ready for week 11! Pay attention to your lineups as these 4 teams are all on byes this week : Indianapolis, Houston, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh. If you’re looking for some help this week, below you’ll find some crafty pickups for week 11.
QUARTERBACKS
Carson Palmer – Oakland Raiders – Dont sleep on Carson folks. Did you see the Chargers game vs the Raiders? Right now Palmer is averaging over 300 yards passing and has 5 touchdowns in only 2 starts with the black and silver. Lets get real for a second Darren McFadden hasn’t even played with Palmer yet, lets not forget he was leading the NFL in rushing for a quick second before injury. Palmer gets the Minnesota Vikings in week 11 who have a short week since they’re playing on Monday night.
Matt Leinart- Houston Texans- The good news is Leinart has a pretty nice vehicle to jump in the drivers seat and drive (that being the Texans offense) He gets a healthy Andre Johnson who will be back, and a run game featuring the best one two punch in the game, with Arian Foster and Ben Tate. This kind of run game is something he never had in Arizona. If they rely heavy on the run and he doesn’t turn the ball over, he has a chance to succeed. With that being said, I’m crossing my fingers for potential owners!
Christian Ponder – Minnesota Vikings- Ponder is playing smart football for a rookie and he gets the Raiders next week. Oakland has allowed multiple touchdowns to opposing QB’s in 7 of the last 8 games. If in need, dial up Christian Ponder this weekend. I cant promise you he’s gonna win the game, but he’ll surely be putting up numbers.
John Skelton -Arizona Cardinals - Skelton completed 21 of 40 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns during the Cardinals’ 21-17 win over Philadelphia in Week 10. Skelton subbed for injured Kevin Kolb and threw 3 touchdowns as well as completing 52.5 percent of his passes. You might want to monitor Kevin Kolb’s health this week, as he looks to be a no go. Look for Skelton if you’re in need. He gets the 49ers, but ya never know when a team has a let down game. Ask Philly what Skelton did to them. The Cardinals will probably be playing from behind, which equal mucho passing stats.
RUNNING BACKS
Dexter McCluster- Kansas City Chiefs- McCluster got heavily involved this past weekend with 14 touches versus Denver. He had 6 catches for 48 yards and rushed for 45 yards on eight carries. The Chiefs will most likely be playing from behind so that means heavy passing and McCluster could be the check down guy. Hello PPR leagues!
Donald Brown-Indianapolis Colts - Brown is the only Colt’s RBs getting major touches lately. He ran the ball 14 times, and picked up 53 yards. He also caught four passes for 12. The colts are on a bye which means he could be forgotten about over the next week. If in need and desperate, look his way.
Chris Ogbonnaya – Cleveland Browns - Ogbonnaya put up 109 total yards last sunday, Ogbonnaya’s value rests on the health and availability of Hillis and Hardesty, but if both backs are out again in Week 11, Ogbonnaya could be worth a try in deeper leagues. The Jaguars will provide a tougher test. However he should get 20 touches with Peyton Hillis and Montario Hardesty both potentially out again.
Kendall Hunter – San Francisco 49ers - Hunter had six carries for 40 yards and a touchdown during the 49ers’ 27-20 win over the Giants in Week 10. Hunter also had one catch for four yards while being targeted three times. He gets Arizona next week and if Gore is out Hunter could get a hefty dose of carries. If Gore remains banged up Hunter could fill his shoes quite nicely. You could always store this guy for future Gore injuries. Ya never know folks.
Lance Ball – Denver Broncos - With Moreno out for the season that leaves often injured Willis McGahee to compete with. We all know that Denver likes to run the rock. So with that being said take a flyer on him asap. This week he carried the rock 30 times for 96 yards.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Denarius Moore – Oakland Raiders - If he’s still lingering around in your 10-12 person league, now is the time to grab Moore. He’s being heavily targeted by Palmer and with Jacoby Ford out and he will be pressed to do even more. Moore’s last two games should be evidence that he’s a gamer.
Antonio Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers - Brown has showed the fantasy world that he means business. Big Ben is certainly looking Browns way and he’s getting targeted early and often these days. Brown is receiving the same amount of targets Mike Wallace is getting and he’s the #1 receiver???. Right now Hines Ward owners should be concerned.
Laurent Robinson- Dallas Cowboys - Robinson is straight balling these days. With four touchdowns in the past 3 weeks how could you not agree? Miles Austin is still nursing a hamstring injury and Robinson gets the Skins who have been pretty effective at limiting opposing wideouts, but the Dallas passing game is hitting on all cylinders heading into this matchup.
Harry Douglas – Atlanta Falcons - With Julio Jones hamstring injury, a problem it was Douglas to the rescue. He had a huge game where he was targeted 14 times. On the day, he had eight receptions for 133 yards! If Jones remains iffy, look for your boy Harry Douglas asap!
Chad Ochocinco New England Patriots – I know he only he had two catches for 65 yards. The promising part is that he is slowly coming around and word is the chemistry is coming. I know…I know, how long can one man wait. Look for him to blossom late in the season as the rapport between Brady and Ocho escalates. The “Brocho” connection coming to a store near you.
Damian Williams – Tennessee Titans - With Nate Washington banged up Williams came up huge. 107 yds and one TD versus Carolina, equals not to shabby. Williams has a TD or 60 yards recieving in 5 of his last 6 games. He has promise with Hasselbeck looking his way often. He’s worth owning on your bench.
Vincent Brown San Diego Chargers Another rookie looking to make noise is Mr. Vincent Brown. He has at least 79 yards in back to back games, and almost had two scores on Thursday night. As long as Malcom Floyd is iffy health wise Browns has some value.
TIGHT ENDS
Ed Dickson – Baltimore Ravens- The man put up some numbers last week. 10 grabs, 79 yards, and 2 TDS! Look for Dickson to come off the board fast after posting those stats. Dickson has plenty of upside, especially when the Ravens are trying to throw the ball heavy. If your looking for a bye week TE, he’s your guy.
Jacob Tamme- Indianapolis Colts- Yes Jacob Tamme is relevant again…who knew? With Dallas Clark injured, Tamme becomes the guy at TE again. He had six receptions for 75 yards versus the Jags. We know Peyton is not in the mix so with that said his numbers could be up and down. He has some value in PPR leagues though.
DEFENSE
Dallas Cowboys Defense- When you can shut down the Buffalo Bills something is going right on defense. They’re lucky enough to get a Redskins defense who has lost its identity and Rex Grossman playing again doesn’t mean squat.
Cleveland Defense- The Browns get a Jags team that does not equal an offensive juggernaut. They match up well and could make the Jaguars work for a W. Look for a low scoring game and a Browns defense looking to force turnovers with a young qb under center.
Jackosnville Jaguars - Well the same thing can be said about the Browns offense which isnt scaring anyone these days. You did see a Jaguars D shut down a Ravens offense a couple weeks ago right? Again as written above, look for a low scoring game and a Jaguars defense looking to force turnovers with a young qb under center.

FANTASY FOOTBALL PICKUPS: WEEK 10
By Gayle Saunders
Lets get ready for week 10 people. The good news is there are no teams on a bye week. Its time to deploy all of your superstars… if they’re healthy! (damn you Jahvid Best & Darren McFadden) If you’re looking for some help, below you’ll find some crafty pickups for week 10.
QUARTERBACKS
Carson Palmer – Oakland Raiders – Palmer used the bye week to get his game together. He completed 54.3 percent of his passes and connected with eight different receivers. He might even have found a favorite target by the name of Denarius Moore who he targeted 13 times.
Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams- Bradford threw for 255 yards but no touchdowns. Keep up on Bradford’s progress, cause he’s bound to get his groove back.
Andy Dalton – Cincinnati Bengals – The rookie is making strides… He threw for a career best three touchdown passes vs. the Titans last week. A stat not to ignore: Dalton now has 12 touchdown passes on the year along with seven interceptions. He’s maturing by the week and he looks more comfortable with the offense. He gets Pittsburgh this week so it’s going to be a tough matchup to play him and feel comfortable.
Christian Ponder – Minnesota Vikings- Don’t forget Ponder’s big day vs. the Packers with 219 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs in Week 7. Also, don’t forget he out-dueled Cam Newton and brought his team to victory in Week 8. In Week 9 he had a bye, so better believe that he’s got something to show in week 10. You gotta believe folks!
Matt Cassel – Kansas City - Cassel has a nice matchup in week 10 against the Denver Broncos, and he should be able to exploit them if he’s on his game. In Week 11, he gets the New England Patriots on Prime time Monday night. He’s up and down, but when he’s on, he’s on.
RUNNING BACKS
Roy Helu – Washington Redskins- Finally, Shanahan takes off the leash and lets Roy Helu rip. Although he only rushed for 41 yards, he had a whopping 14 grabs for 105 yards. It helps when your QB John Beck has no one to throw to but the check down.
Maurice Morris-Detroit Lions- As long as Jahvid Best is out, Morris is going to have value because of the strength of the Detroit offense. No one knows when Best will be back. (I know its killing me too!)
Donald Brown-Indianapolis Colts - Brown is the only one of Colt’s RBs getting scores lately. He had 16 carries in Week 9 versus 4 for Delone Carter. The Colts leaned on Brown after Delone Carter came up lame in week 9. Take a close look at this situation going forward.
Chris Ogbonnaya – Cleveland Browns - Ogbonnaya is likely to be the featured back again in Week 10. He’s a decent play against a weak Ram’s run defense and is best as a flex option.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Earl Bennett – Chicago Bears – Cutler got his favorite receiver back, and theirs is a relationship that goes back to college. Their connection showed and proved versus the Eagles as he turned 5 targets into 5 catches for 95 yards and a TD. Yup pick him up as he’ll be the number 1 option moving forward who’s not named Matt Forte
Antonio Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers - Brown has stepped his game up seriously. The best part about it is that he is getting targeted early and often these days. Mike Wallace remains the No. 1 option in Pittsburgh, but he looks like a solid No. 2 option going forward. Yes, a better option than Hines Ward at this moment.
Steve Breaston – Kansas City Chiefs - If you bought into the Baldwin hype like I did…go get Breaston ASAP. Breaston pulled in 7 receptions for 115 yards. Buy into Breaston’s upside and his reliability versus the Baldwin Hype.
Torrey Smith Baltimore Ravens - Mr. Smith has been unreliable as of late. But looks like Flacco is continuing to go his way for the long ball any chance he gets. Seattle is tough against the run, but not so much against the pass. Look for Flacco to go deep to Smith.
Laurent Robinson- Dallas Cowboys - News flash: Miles Austin got hurt again! So what that means in Week 9 is it’s important that you take a flyer on this guy! He only had 5 catches for 32 yards in Week 9, but he had a TD grab. Get him if ya still can.
Michael Crabtree – San Francisco 49ers - Get on the Crabtree train now whle there’s still time! This past Sunday he had 1 TD and 5 grabs for 54 yards. Crabtree’s foot is getting back to normal and he’s building trust with Alex Smith week by week.
Damian Williams – Tennessee Titans - Hasselback has gained some confidence in Williams with Britt going down with injury and Nate Washington taken out as well. Look Williams way if you’re in need.
TIGHT ENDS
Jake Ballard – New York Giants - He is building a solid foundation with Eli Manning. Catching a game winning touchdown will do that sometimes.
Brent Celek – Philadelphia Eagles - Celek continues to be targeted by Vick. That is 3 games in a row where he’s been heavily favorited by his QB. Against the Bears he had 9 targets 7 catches for 60 yards. He has racked up 18 receptions for 196 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns over his last three games. Enough said.
Scott Chandler -Buffalo Bills - All he does is catch touchdowns. Of his 18 receptions this season, six have gone for touchdowns If you’re in need and willing to take a gamble, he’s worth a look.
DEFENSE
Washington Redskins- Washington does have a good defense folks. They get an inspired Miami team in Week 10, But lets get real here…this defense isn’t the Chiefs.
