Tomlinsonis solid again.
In the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen a slew of running backs go down hurt, including Clinton Portis, Ronnie Brown, Michael Turner, Cedric Benson and Brian Westbrook (again).
With so many injuries at such a key position, you may be scrambling to find a capable fill-in.
There are even a couple of old, familiar faces that made their way back into the fantasy picture during Week 11. Read more…
Williams should be a stud in Week 11.
We already know what Ricky Williams is capable of doing. He’s made himself known as a quality back-up with the Miami Dolphins, and has been putting up RB2 production all season out of Miami’s consistent Wildcat package.
However, with Ronnie Brown nursing an injury and already ruled out of Thursday night’s action, Williams will be catapulted into the starting line-up, and should figure to stand as a decent RB1 play, and at the worst, his usual RB2 value. Read more…
Is LT back?
It’s hard to believe we’re even thinking about it, but despite a Hall of Fame career and still being the starting running back for the San Diego Chargers, we’re just now beginning to hear some buzz and whispers about LT being a fantasy riser.
He’s had a fairly ho-hum season so far, but almost reached 100 yards on the ground against a solid Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 10, and notched his second game in three contests of at least two scores. Read more…
McCoy's time to step up is now.
LeSean McCoy‘s value was already rising with a slightly increased role, as he was sharing the ball with Brian Westbrook prior to his first concussion. But now he’s really going to have some value.
Brian Westbrook is officially no longer stiff competition for looks and carries, as he has sustained his second concussion in three weeks, and will likely miss an extended amount of times, and could even miss the rest of the season. Read more…
It might be time to give up on Forte.
The 2009 NFL season hasn’t been particularly kind to a few of the running backs that were taken at the top of most fantasy drafts.
Players like Matt Forte, Steve Slaton, and Michael Turner have struggled through disappointing seasons thus far.
Now, it’s looking as though one of those guys can officially be marked off the list. Read more…
Chambers suddenly has value.
The Kansas City Chiefs just found goal, regardless of how “washed up” San Diego may have felt Chris Chambers is.
The former Dolphin and Charger hauled in three catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns (including a 54-yard score) in his Kansas City debut, in an amazing effort after joining the team earlier this week. Read more…
Davis is on fire.
Week seven in the NFL saw several blowouts, meaning some players that don’t normally produce much may have shown off more than they’re consistently capable off.
Nonetheless, there were also some completely-out-of-the-blue performances (um, Alex Smith?) that have left people wondering if there’s more where that came from.
Here are the top five risers and fallers going into week eight: Read more…
