WR Michael Crabtree (San Francisco)
Percent owned (ESPN): 17.6%
Michael Crabtree returned to limited action this week, catching 2 passes for 68 yards. We know Colin Kaepernick loves throwing to him, but his playing time is only going to go up, unless he suffers a setback, so he could be a real asset in the fantasy playoffs. He might not make much of an impact against Seattle this week, but he gets Atlanta during week 15.
WR Andre Holmes (Oakland)
Percent owned (ESPN): 0.1%
Andre Holmes played well in Denarius Moore’s absence this week, catching 7 passes for 136 yards and displaying strong chemistry with Matt McGloin. Moore could be shut down for the season with the Raiders essentially out of it, so Holmes could have some value going forward. He’s worth a bench stash in deeper leagues.
TE Heath Miller (Pittsburgh)
Percent owned (ESPN): 15.8%
In 10 games, Heath Miller has 46 catches for 468 yards, which extrapolates to 74 catches for 749 yards over 16 games, which is solid production for a tight end. His only issue is he’s only caught one touchdown, but that kind of thing tends to be inconsistent. He’s worth a look if you’re desperate for a tight end. He can get you consistent yardage production.
RB LeGarrette Blount (New England)
Percent owned (ESPN): 4.8%
With fumbling Stevan Ridley inactive, LeGarrette Blount led the way, rushing for 44 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. He’s worth a pickup if you’re desperate, but he’s not going to be dependable. Bill Belichick is notoriously inconsistent with his running backs. Blount could be benched for a fumble. Ridley could randomly get 20 carries again next week. The Patriots could also go a completely different direction at the running back position with someone like Brandon Bolden or Shane Vereen depending on the matchup.
