Assuming DeShaun Foster and Brad Johnson are no longer on your league’s waiver wire, here are some other options that might be of use to you.
QUARTERBACKS
Charlie Frye, CLE – Frye played quite well against a good Jacksonville defense, but keep in mind that he lost his favorite target, Braylon Edwards, for the rest of the year. Also, watch the status of Trent Dilfer, as he may be back next week.
Sage Rosenfels, MIA – Gus Frerotte left the game with a concussion and Rosenfels played well in his absence. If Frerotte can’t play, Rosenfels could help a fantasy team desperate at the QB position.
Marques Tuiasosopo, OAK – The rumor is that HC Norv Turner is going to bench Kerry Collins in favor of crowd-favorite Tuiasosopo, to increase mobility at the position. If he started, Tui would have loads of weapons at his disposal and could put up good numbers.
RUNNING BACKS
Michael Bennett, MIN – Mewelde Moore injured himself during a return, so Bennett got a vast majority of the carries and played well against the Lions. It’s impossible to rely on the Minnesota running game these days (where for art thou, Robert Smith?) but Bennett would definitely be worth a roster spot and maybe a start if Moore is out.
Artose Pinner, DET – Kevin Jones was out with a thigh injury, so Pinner and Shawn Bryson shared the work. Pinner contributed over 100 yards and also scored on a nice run. If KJ continues to miss time, Pinner could be a good fill in player down the stretch.
Ryan Moats, PHI – Keep an eye on Brian Westbrook’s status throughout the week. If he’s not able to go, Moats would get the start in his place.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Koren Robinson, MIN – Robinson finally had a breakout game catching four passes for 148 yards and a TD, and has been more and more involved starting in Nate Burleson’s place.
