WR Mike Thomas- Jacksonville

Percent owned (ESPN): 7.1%

Take away the 50 yard Hail Mary and Thomas still had 7 catches for 79 yards last week against Houston. He has 41 catches for 536 yards and 2 scores and is at least a depth player in all leagues and possibly a flex in PPR.

TE Brandon Pettigrew- Detroit

Percent owned (ESPN): 32.6%

With Shaun Hill back in the lineup, Pettigrew’s stats went back up. He caught 4 passes for 50 yards giving him 36 catches for 380 yards in 6 Shaun Hill starts. Hill looks like the guy at QB the rest of the way as they want to preserve Stafford for next year.

QB Troy Smith- San Francisco

Percent owned (ESPN): 3.1%

Don’t start him yet, but Smith has 552 yards and 2 scores in two starts for San Francisco and looked good against St. Louis’ solid secondary last week with 356 yards on 17 for 28 and a score.

 

RB Mike Goodson- Carolina

Percent owned (ESPN): 5.5%

Apparently Carolina’s 4^th string back is better than their top 3 backs. Goodson had 100 yards on 23 carries in his first career start, something no Carolina RB has done to this point this season and could be valuable down the stretch for Carolina if their injuries at running back don’t clear up or if they decide to go with him as starter/get him more involved in the offense.

WR Anthony Armstrong- Washington

Percent owned (ESPN): 2.2%

The undrafted 27 year old rookie continues to impress with 16 catches for 357 yards and a score in his last 5.

TE Benjamin Watson- Cleveland

Percent owned (ESPN): 29.7%

He continues to impress. After busting in New England, the former 1^st round pick has 36 catches for 434 yards and 2 scores this season in Cleveland.

RB Javarris James- Indianapolis

Percent owned (ESPN): 2.2%

He’s getting the goal line touches in Mike Hart and Joseph Addai’s absence and has 3 scores in his last 2. He only has value in deep leagues and touchdown leagues though and only until Hart and Addai return. James only has 42 yards on 17 carries this season.
