Tim Tebow - Normally when teams bench their starting QB its in favor of their back up, but move over Brady "now I'm done" Quinn.... It's Tebow Time! After countless chants, riots and cult gatherings in the Denver area it appears John Fox is ready to go with the peoples choice. When Timmy entered the game he provided an instant spark. An entirely different energy to the team. Tebow brought them all the way back to with in one 30 yard strike away from victory. The game was perhaps the most celebrated loss in Broncos history as the fans were seemingly not concerned with the outcome but rather the simple fact that Timmy Tebow was under center. Despite his mediocre passing skills Tebow was the top fantasy QB weeks 15-17 (his only starts) of last season. You might consider him Cam Newton light. He's not going to put up gaudy passing numbers but his rushing production will more than make up for it making him start worthy in 12 team leagues. A man once said "If you are fortunate enough to spend five minutes around Tim Tebow, your life is better for it." If thats true just think of what he will do to your fantasy team.
Jackie Battle - Their is a new sheriff in KC and his name is Jackie Battle. Out from the depths of the KC roster Battle jumped on to the scene accounting for 140 total yards in spite of receiving just 1 first quarter carry. Battle, an undrafted 4 yr vet with just 51 career carries prior to Sunday doesn't carry the highest of pedigrees. However one could say the same thing of Freddy "action" Jackson who went undrafted out of Coe College. Jackson didn't get his first start till he was 28 (same age as Battle is now). Many will discount Battle's breakout game as a one hit wonder, but with the Cheifs offense getting back on track and Battle the only ball carrier in KC worthy of workhorse type carries, he is a must add in all leagues
Doug Baldwin - With teams rolling coverages to Sidney Rice things have really opened up for Baldwin who now has 3 80+ yard performances through 5 games thus far. Whether its Jackson or Shane Falco.... I mean Charlie Whitehurst under center Baldwin will continue to be a useful WR3 especially with the byes rolling in. Baldwin is a good buy in 12 team and deeper leagues.
Lee Evans - Evans isn't quite 100% yet but he is close to it after the bye week. He should play and provide plug in play totals against the Houston Texans this week. Remember Flacco's favorite thing to do is go deep (the ravens play action more than anyone in the league) and thats what Evans specializes in. Snag Evans now while you still can for he and Flacco might just begin a reign of terror on Defensive secondaries.
Titus Young - The Lions have obviously been stellar, but they have still yet to live up to their immense potential. Stafford has overthrown Young a couple times on deep passes this year which is something I wouldn't look to continue for too long. Young's role in the offense will continue to grow and this week they play the Niners a team that is suceptible to the long ball. Young is a nice fliar this week and someone to stash for later in the year.
Greg Little - McCoy has been lobbying to get Little more involved. After their bye week Little has been promoted to the starting line up. He's by far their most explosive player. His promotion after a bye week could be a foreshadowing that they are now set to make him their primary WR.
Early Doucet - Any WR who receives 16 targets in one game deserves roster consideration. He has Andre Roberts far out classed in talent and production. As the Cardinals head into a bye they may just make Doucet the starter as they need a spark offensively.
Harry Douglas - With Julio Jones battleing a hamstring injury Harry Douglas will likely step into the starting line up this week. Douglas has excellent hands and is a very explosive WR. He's a solid plug in play this week against the Panthers in what could be a shootout.
Danario Alexander - The snap total for the Rams most Talented WR have increased weekly. The only things that can hold him back are his knees. He has had no trouble with them thus far and coming off a bye only assures that. The winless Rams need to get things clicking offensively. They will need to get the ball into the hands of their best players. They have had a bye week to better adapt to Josh McDaniels system and draw a very beatable fantasy match up against the Packers this week (30th against the pass)
Delone Carter - I feel obligated to mention Carter's name with Addai set to miss at least one game. Carter doesn't have much upside, but he will serve as an emergency plug in play as long as Addai is out.
