Pick Ups of the Week. (bye week edition)

Must Adds in all Leagues

Stevan Ridley - After his 97 yard outburst on Sunday his ypc average is now 7.9. His the best RB in New England and his role is only growing. His schedule is tough over the next few weeks, but over the stretch run of Fantasy he has games against KC, PHI, IND, WAS, DEN, MIA, BUF weeks 11-17. Ridley has late season Gem written all over him. Stash him away now and reap the benefits later.

Ryan Torrain - Reports late last week were that Shanahan was close to benching Hightower in favor of Torrain during the game against the Cowboys. This week he pulled the trigger. The Redskins RB situation will continue to be hazy throughout the season but whoever starts is an RB2. Right now it appears The Torrain Train is a full go.

Isaac Redman - Early reports are Mendenhall and Moore will miss this weeks game against the Titans giving  Redman a full workload. He has been the most effective back for the Steelers on the season particularly in short yardage situations. He's a great bye week plug in.

Bernard Scott - Cedric Benson will be suspended at some point, missing multiple games. Scott would become a 3 down RB giving him plenty of Fantasy upside

Michael Crabtree - He's back the Niners offense is showing signs of life. Crabtree received 9 targets last week. He's a mid level WR3 as it stands now, but with further improvements to their offense Crabtree could become a WR2 by years end.

Victor Cruz - He's become much more than a Preseason sensation. Last week the Giants benched Mario Manningham in favor of Cruz. Cruz again produced. He's averaged 104 yards in his last 2 games. Even with Manningham in the mix the Giants can support 3 WR's and Cruz will still hold WR3 value especially with the bye weeks rolling in.

Bye Week Fliars

Pierre Garcon - Curtis Painter may be a below average QB, but hes much more familiar with the Colts offense than Collins. Painter also has a strong enough arm to better utilize Garcon's skill set. They just missed hooking up for a TD against the Steelers but connected for 2 long scores against the Bucs. Garcon is the most explosive player on the colts roster and has a very beatable match up this week against KC

Arrelious Benn - Benn Flashed his skill set on a 62 yard catch last night, breaking numerous tackles and exploding down field for a score which was negated. His targets are still scarce but his talent is undeniable. This week and weeks that follow the Bucs face teams stout against the run but suceptible to plays downfield. Leaving the potential for Benn to have productive games as the teams lone deep threat.

Kevin Walter/ Jacoby Jones - With Andre Johnson set to miss "some time" the Texans will have to look elsewhere for downfield option. Owen Daniels is likely to be the main beneficiary and their Run Heavy approach is make it tough to consistently support even one wide out. One of them should emerge as a good plug in play while Andre is sidelined. Walter being the safer option with Jones holding much more upside.

Donald Jones - Lead the team in targets this week and has a growing role in one of the most explosive offenses. He's a team favorite and HC Chan Gailey has already said he wants to get Jones the ball more. This week he faces the Eagles who are likely to shutdown Stevie Johnson leavin Fitzpatrick to look elsewhere and the Eagle have given up production to number 2 WRs thus far.
