QUARTERBACKS
Trent Dilfer, CLE – Dilfer tore up a weak Packer secondary for 336 yards and three touchdowns. Don’t expect numbers like this every week, but with a talented group of receivers, he could be a good backup this season.
RUNNING BACKS
Travis Henry, TEN – If Henry is somehow available in your league, now would be the time to pick him up. Chris Brown sat out the second half with a concussion and his status for Week 3 is uncertain.
Mewelde Moore, MIN – Another guy probably not on your waiver wire, but make sure. With Michael Bennett getting benched after two fumbles, this might be the opportunity Moore and his owners have been waiting for.
Derrick Blaylock, NYJ – It appears that Curtis Martin might miss next week’s game with a knee injury, so if you have room on your roster and need RB help, Blaylock would be a nice addition with good upside.
Ron Dayne, DEN – Dayne carried the ball eight times for 44 yards, backing up starter Mike Anderson. The bigger story is that Tatum Bell didn’t get any work. Is Dayne rising on the depth chart? Only HC Mike Shanahan knows for sure, but Dayne’s value would skyrocket if he were to get 15-20 carries a game.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Travis Taylor, MIN – Minnesota’s passing game has yet to get on track, but Taylor shined Sunday with seven catches for 75 yards. He might be available in 10-team leagues and is worth a roster spot.
Bobby Engram, SEA – In his second straight solid outing, Engram caught five balls for 77 yards and is especially valuable in leagues that reward one point per reception.
Samie Parker, KC – The Chiefs’ #2 WR has caught five passes for 109 yards in the first two games and is worth a look for owners in deeper leagues (12+ teams) looking for WR help.
TIGHT ENDS
Steve Heiden, CLE – QB Trent Dilfer seemed very comfortable with Heiden on Sunday as the duo hooked up six times for 104 yards and two touchdowns. Heiden would make a good backup for a fantasy squad looking for TE depth.
