RB Kevin Smith (Detroit)

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.5%

Whoa! Where did this come from? After not doing anything since his rookie year and not being on the team a few weeks ago, Smith was the lead back for Detroit against Carolina with Jahvid Best out once again. The Lions appear to have found their substitute for Best, who isn’t expected back anytime soon. Smith rushed for 140 yards and 2 scores on 16 carries and 4 catches for 61 yards another score last week against Carolina.

RB Chris Ogbonnaya (Cleveland)

Percent owned (ESPN): 15.3%

Ogbonnaya has actually looked good in his last two, rushing for 90 yards on 19 carries last week and then 115 yards and a score on 21 carries this week. Montario Hardesty and Peyton Hillis can’t stay healthy so Ogbo might have some value going forward.

 

RB Toby Gerhart (Minnesota)

Percent owned (ESPN): 1.8%

Adrian Peterson is likely going to miss at least one game with a high ankle sprain. Former Heisman runner up Toby Gerhart would get the start in his absence so he’s rosterable.

QB Caleb Hanie (Chicago)

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.1%

Jay Cutler is done for the season, at least the regular season. Hanie looked good in the playoffs last year. There might be some value with him going forward.

WR Greg Little (Cleveland)

Percent owned (ESPN): 8.7%

Little once again led the Browns in receiving. He might not be that great yet, but he’s got upside and he’s the best Colt McCoy’s got.
