RB Tashard Choice- Dallas

Percent owned (ESPN): 17.8%

In the 3 games since Marion Barber went down, Choice rushed for 100 yards and a score on 19 carries against Indianapolis, 16 yards on 7 carries against Philadelphia, and 53 yards and a score on 15 carries against Washington. He can be a fantasy factor against bad defenses, but not against good ones. Luckily he faces Arizona’s terrible run defense next week in what should be the fantasy championship for most.

WR Davone Bess- Miami

Percent owned (ESPN): 25.0%

Bess continues to be a PPR beast with 71 catches for 751 yards and 3 scores on the season. He gets Detroit next week. In Chad Henne’s 13 starts, Bess has averaged 5.4 catches and 57.1 yards per game. That’s roughly 11.1 fantasy points in PPR, not too bad, especially if he were to score. Bess is also at least a depth receiver in normal leagues.

WR Danny Amendola- St. Louis

Percent owned (ESPN): 25.6%

Amendola is another underrated PPR beast with 75 catches for 627 yards and 3 scores on the season. Like Bess, he’s at least a depth receiver in normal leagues. He faces San Francisco next week.

WR Mike Thomas- Jacksonville

Percent owned (ESPN): 21.2%

Thomas has caught 59 balls for 712 yards and 3 scores this year making him at worst a depth receiver. He faces Washington next week.

WR Anthony Armstrong- Washington

Percent owned (ESPN): 3.2%

Armstrong has 36 catches for 668 yards and 2 scores in 11 starts this season and had good chemistry with Rex Grossman catching 5 balls for a career high 100 yards last week. He faces Jacksonville’s terrible secondary this week.

QB Rex Grossman- Washington

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.4%

I’m not ready to crown him the next John Elway or even the next Jake Plummer, though the former 1^st round pick bust did look like it in his first start against the Cowboys’ terrible secondary. Luckily, he gets another easy test this week against Jacksonville who has the league’s worst pass defense in terms of YPA allowed.

 

QB Tim Tebow- Denver

Percent owned (ESPN): 4.0%

Tebow must have been a very good boy this year because for Christmas he gets to face the Texans’ horrible defense. Tebow is a dual threat and the Texans can’t stop either of those threats and could have a good game passing in addition to running if the Broncos remember to call passing plays this week.

RB Toby Gerhart- Minnesota

Percent owned (ESPN): 8.6%

Gerhart would be the feature back this week again if Adrian Peterson were to miss and with the Vikings out of it there’s no need for the Vikings to rush AP back. If AP were to return, it would be in a limited capacity meaning Gerhart would likely get double digit carries, though obviously he has more value if he starts.

RB Lance Ball- Denver

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.1%

If Knowshon Moreno were unable to go this week, Ball would get the start again with a few carries vultured occasionally by Correll Buckhalter. Hall only rushed for 20 yards on 15 carries last week, but gets an easier matchup this week against the Texans and any feature back is worth owned. Moreno’s status is, at best, very questionable for this week’s game against the Texans.
