QBs
Shaun Hill – Detroit Lions – Hill may already be gone but if not, it is time to grab him. He plays on a team that has no running game to speak of and he has averaged over 300 yards passing in his last two games. With weapons like Calvin Johnson, Nate Burleson and Brandon Pettigrew, what’s not to like?
Matt Hasselbeck – Seattle Seahawks – Ditto for Hasselbeck. He has no running game and in his last two games, he has passed for 699 yards and two touchdowns. Kansas City and Carolina are on the slate, so he should be OK for you.
Jake Delhomme – Cleveland Browns – Colt McCoy was nicked on Sunday and his playing status for this week is not yet known. Check back and if you are desperate, I mean absolutely desperate, take a chance.
Others to Monitor: Rusty Smith – Tennessee Titans, Bruce Gradkowski – Oakland Raiders
RBs
Benjarvus Green-Ellis – New England Patriots – BGE has become a huge part of the Pats offense and rightfully so. He ran the ball 21 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 and has the Detroit Lions in Week 12.
Maurice Morris – Detroit Lions – Jahvid Best’s toe isn’t getting any better and there is a chance that the Lions could shut him down. With Kevin Smith on IR, Morris is the only man left standing.
Keiland Williams – Washington Redskins – Portis returned on Sunday but that was short-lived. Williams has a solid all around game and should be good for up to 25 touches a game assuming Ryan Torrain doesn’t come back.
WRs
Mike Jenkins – Atlanta Falcons – Jenkins has flown under the radar for long enough. He hasn’t been scoring but his time will come. He has 5 catches in each of his last two games and has averaged 53 yards over that span.
Ben Obomanu – Seattle Seahawks – Obomanu has become a bigger part of the offense in the last two weeks and in his last two has caught 9 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown. Mike Williams can’t catch every Matt Hasselbeck pass!
Laurent Robinson – St. Louis Rams – He has been targeted no less than eight times in any of his last four games. Last Sunday, he was targeted 11 times. In PPR leagues, he could be very valuable.
Others to Monitor – Blair White – Indianapolis Colts
TEs
Kevin Boss – NY Giants – Hakeem Nicks joins Steve Smith on the sidelines with an injury, leaving Derek Hagan and Mario Manningham as Eli’s WRs. Boss has re-emerged and could easily become Manning’s most reliable target.
Jimmy Graham – New Orleans Saints – Graham has taken over from Jeremy Shockey and has done a fine job. On Sunday, he had 8 targets, 5 catches and 73 yards. Brees will keep looking his way if he keeps on catching passes!
Others to monitor – Evan Moore – Cleveland Browns, Michael Hoomanawanui – St. Louis Rams
Defense
Cleveland Browns – The Browns have been playing decent ball – 2 interceptions, over 1 fumble recovery and over 2 sacks per game in their last three. In the next two weeks, they face Carolina and an inept Miami team.
