RB Brian Westbrook- San Francisco

Percent owned (ESPN): 12.1%

Westbrook ran for 136 yards and a score on 23 carries against a helpless Arizona front line and will be the lead back the rest of the way with Frank Gore set to go on IR with a fractured hip. With Mike Iupati and Anthony Davis blocking for him and 20 carries per week expected, Westbrook can go for 100 on any week, and he’s a threat catching out of the backfield. He faces Seattle, St. Louis, and Arizona (week 17) in his last 5 weeks.

WR Mike Thomas- Jacksonville

Percent owned (ESPN): 21.0%

A weekly fixture here, despite 52 catches for 618 yards and 3 scores this year. Why is he isn’t owned in most leagues I have no idea.

RB Mike Goodson- Carolina

Percent owned (ESPN): 25.6%

Even with Jonathan Stewart back, Mike Goodson had 14 carries for 55 yards and a score and 8 catches for 81 yards. With DeAngelo Williams out for the year, it looks like it’ll be this duo going forward and Goodson certainly didn’t do anything to hurt his case for carries this week.

WR Davone Bess- Miami

Percent owned (ESPN): 25.6%

With Chad Henne back, Bess was back to normal catching 6 balls for 111 yards. Excluding the game that Tyler Thigpen started, Bess has 54 catches for 591 in 10 games and 3 scores. He’s a PPR starter at the very least.

RB Toby Gerhart- Minnesota

Percent owned (ESPN): 3.3%

AP is scheduled for an MRI this week, so Gerhart is worth being owned  incase AP misses this week or any future weeks, as the Vikings don’t really have anything to play for. Gerhart had 22 rushes for 76 yards and a touchdown after AP went down early against the Redskins.

RB Mike Hart- Indianapolis

Percent owned (ESPN): 3.4%

Joseph Addai is expected to miss this week again and Hart looks likely to play for the first time since week 8. With how bad Donald Brown and Javarris James look right now, they’ll be giving Hart plenty of carries.

 

WR Brian Hartline- Miami

Percent owned (ESPN ): 1.4%

No matter the quarterback, Hartline is performing and finally coming into his own. He has 18 catches for 327 yards in his last 4 and hasn’t had fewer than 4 catches since week 4. He’s even more valuable with Brandon Marshall out as he becomes the #1 receiver.

QB Jon Kitna- Dallas

Percent owned (ESPN): 13.7%

Kitna threw for 313 yards against the Saints and is 61 for 88 for 787 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 2 picks since Jason Garrett took over.

WR Danario Alexander- St. Louis

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.8%

Alexander had 4 catches for 95 yards in his first game back. In the two games he’s started and finished he has 8 catches for 167 yards. The rookie looks very comfortable with Sam Bradford

RB Maurice Morris- Detroit

Percent owned (ESPN): 1.5%

With Jahvid Best out, Morris is the main man at running back. Best might be done for the season as the Lions have nothing left to play for, so Morris could be the guy the rest of the way as he was late last year. He had 9 carries for 55 yards and also caught 5 balls against the Patriots. He scored twice.

WR James Jones- Green Bay

Percent owned (ESPN): 9.4%

Every week Donald Driver looks less like his old self the more James Jones gets into the action. Jones caught 5 passes for 44 yards last week and has 2 100+ yard games this year, one in which he was the starter over an injured Driver.

QB Shaun Hill- Detroit

Percent owned (ESPN): 13.8%

He appears to be the man down the stretch for the Lions at quarterback and hasn’t had fewer than 227 yards in a game he’s started and finished. He had 285 yards against the Patriots.

TE Kevin Boss- NY Giants

Percent owned (ESPN): 23.1%

He hasn’t done much this year, but with both Steve Smith and Hakeem Nicks, Boss had 3 catches for 74 yards and a score this week. Smith and Nicks will miss a few more weeks and Boss has 3 TD in his last 4 games.

TE Ben Watson- Cleveland

Percent owned (ESPN): 23.9%

Watson was dropped in a few leagues with the potential of him missing this week with an injury, but he caught 4 passes for 40 yards against Carolina. Despite going out early week 11, Watson has 40 catches for 474 yards this year.
