RB James Starks (Green Bay)

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.2%

James Starks is going to get the start this week with Eddie Lacy out with a concussion. Starks exploded for 132 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries after Lacy went down early last week, along with 4 catches for 36 yards. He’s not fortunate enough to play the Redskins’ defense every week and Cincinnati this week represents a much tougher defensive test, but he’s still worth a flex play for this week if you need someone for that.

WR Eddie Royal (San Diego)

Percent owned (ESPN): 4.4%

Eddie Royal somehow has 5 touchdowns in 2 games. That won’t continue, but he also has 10 catches for 114 receiving yards and will continue to be a preferred target for Philip Rivers, especially with Malcom Floyd out at least a week and possibly longer with a neck injury. Royal is worth a pickup.

TE Coby Fleener (Indianapolis)

Percent owned (ESPN): 5.4%

Fleener had a big game with 4 catches for 69 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins last week and earned the coaching staff’s praise after the game. Even better news for his fantasy value, Dwayne Allen, who was working as the starting tight end for his blocking ability, is out for the season so Fleener should be as close to an every down player as a tight end can be going forward.

QB Ryan Tannehill (Miami)

Percent owned (ESPN): 7.9%

Tannehill has completed 47 of 72 for 591 yards, 2 touchdowns, and an interception in the first two weeks of the season and could be on his way to a much improved 2^nd season in the NFL. With bye weeks coming up, Tannehill is worth adding as a QB2, especially for teams whose quarterbacks have a bye week 4. Tannehill gets a New Orleans defense that is still very susceptible to giving up big fantasy days week 4.

WR Marlon Brown (Baltimore)

Percent owned (ESPN): 7.9%

Marlon Brown continues to work as the starter in Jacoby Jones’ absence and is putting up decent numbers. He has 8 catches for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2 games. He’s worth a look in deeper leagues.

TE Charles Clay (Miami)

Percent owned (ESPN): 5.0%

Charles Clay had a big game against Indianapolis with 5 catches for 107 yards and the collegiate fullback also stole a goal line carry and scored on a one yard rush. He won’t get to play Indianapolis’ defense every week and he probably won’t continue stealing goal line carries, but he also had 5 catches for 54 yards the week before so he could be worth a look.
