Pick ups of the week.



Dexter McCluster - as stated in last weeks pick ups McCluster is a rising player in the Chiefs offense (He received the same total of touches as Charles week 1) and if Charles ever went down McCluster would become RB 2 worthy with the possibility of being plugged in as a WR3 depending on league eligibility standards. That time has come. If McCluster is available in your league don't hesitate to add him to your roster.

Daniel Thomas - Showed great decisiveness and burst in his runs against the Texans. His line proved able to open up consistent holes for the rookie back which he took full advantage of rushing for over 100 yards in his NFL debut. Many people gave up on Thomas after his demotion. As they should've. Thomas displayed nothing but hesitation as a runner which added validity to all the reports. If Sunday was any indication of things to come Thomas will be the lead back for the Dolphins the remainder of the season with Bush sliding into the change of pace role. As the featured back you can expect Matt Forte light numbers from Thomas.


Eric Decker - Received a lot of buzz at the end of Bronco camp then came up big with an 87 yard punt return TD against the Raiders on MNF. Yesterday Decker added to his resume with a 5 catch 113 yard 2 TD out burst, filling in for an injured Eddie Royal. Royal will remain out over the next few weeks. Decker will star in Royals absence and could hold onto the job retaining fantasy value for the rest of the season. Decker should be owned in all 12 team leagues.

Denarius Moore - With Jacoby Ford, Darrius Heyward-Bey out Moore shined, with 5 catches for 146 yards and a nice TD in between two defenders. He also added 25 yards on the ground. Moore is a great athlete with good ball skills. He's a poor mans Mike Wallace. His performance should secure a starting spot for him. He's already put his potential on display. Moore should be snatched up in all 12 team leagues and 10 team leagues with roster space or those who are hurting for upside. He's not startable this week against the Jets, but the schedule is quite fantasy friendly over the few weeks that follow ( NE, HOU, CLE, KC, DEN)


Fred Davis - Davis is probly the best TE in the league that most don't know of. He has been stuck behind Chris Cooley his whole career. Cooley is dealing with injury right now and Davis is taking full advantage with 191 yards and a TD in the first two games. Even when Cooley returns to 100% (he played week 1 and 2) Davis should still be the go to guy.

Danario Alexander - The ultra Talented WR broke out on MNF with 122 yards and a TD. Talent has never been an issue for Alexander as hes a very gifted WR. Knee issues have been his down fall. A wise man once said it best "his knees will make you crazy but his talent will make you hazy". If Alexander can stay healthy it is very possible he will be the Brandon Lloyd of this year as he could put up monstrous totals such as this regularly. This is all you need to know about Danario Alexander. watch listen and enjoy


others to consider: David Nelson, Delone Carter, Jerome Simpson, Titus Young, Ryan Fitzpatrick
