RB James Starks- Green Bay

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.1%

In his first game off the PUP, Starks rushed for 73 yards on 18 carries. The Packers are the worst running team this side of the Indianapolis Colts, so I would be very surprised if Starks, a 5^th round rookie out of Buffalo, wasn’t the lead back from here on out.

WR Davone Bess- Miami

Percent owned (ESPN): 26.9%

In Chad Henne’s 11 starts, Bess has 60 catches for 658 yards and 3 scores. Henne should be the starter from here on out because of how bad backup Tyler Thigpen was in his one start. Bess is a weekly starter in PPR and a depth guy in normal leagues. Why he is still available in 3/4s of leagues, I have no idea.

WR Mike Thomas- Jacksonville

Percent owned (ESPN): 23.3%

56 catches for 649 yards and 3 scores this year. Like Bess, he’s a starter in PPR and a depth guy in normal leagues. No idea why he’s available in 3/4s of leagues.

RB Tashard Choice- Dallas

Percent owned (ESPN): 4.8%

After weeks of watching Marion Barber fall over for no gain, I have no idea why Garrett didn’t go to Choice sooner. With Barber out, Choice rushed for 100 yards on 19 carries and a touchdown. Barber will miss a few weeks and even when he’s back, Choice has to get the bulk of his carries, especially on the goal line. Choice still has Felix Jones to deal with and he won’t face the Colts every week, but he still has value going forward.

 

TE Ben Watson- Cleveland

Percent owned (ESPN): 21.4%

Watson caught 10 balls for 100 yards and a score against Miami. This gives him 50 catches for 574 yards and 3 scores this season, despite missing a game. You can do a lot worse with your TE1.

WR Anthony Armstrong- Washington

Percent owned (ESPN): 1.9%

Armstrong caught a career high 6 balls against the Giants this week. The 27 year old undrafted rookie has 27 catches for 538 yards and 2 scores in his last 9 since taking over as starter.

WR Mohamed Massaquoi- Cleveland

Percent owned (ESPN): 9.6%

Massaquoi is finally playing like we thought he would to start this season, with 4 catches in 4 of his last 5 games. In his last 3, he has 8 catches for 181 yards. Not too shabby. Delhomme seems to like throwing to him.
