He's a high-end No. Blount was listed in this column last week, but he was still a free agent in over 90 percent of NFL. Well, the rookie went on to rush for yards and two touchdowns in a win. Blount has clearly become a featured back for coach Raheem Morris , so owners in need of backfield depth or sell-high trade bait should look to add him off the waiver wire. Green-Ellis hadn't been putting up huge yardage totals before Week 8, but that all changed against the Vikings. The Law Firm rushed for an impressive yards and found the end zone twice in a win over the Vikings.
He has now found the end zone in five straight games and should be rostered in all leagues with plus teams. His teammate, Danny Woodhead The Redskins are on a bye in Week 9, but fantasy leaguers still might want to consider adding Williams off the waiver wire. Ryan Torain was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Lions due to a hamstring ailment, and his past proneness to injuries is once again a cause for major concern.
With Clinton Portis groin still out of action, Williams could wind up seeing a lot of work in Week 10 if Torain's hammy forces him to miss time. The shocking situation surrounding Randy Moss leaves the Vikings thin at wide receiver, so Berrian is likely to start until Sidney Rice is at percent. Berrian has been all but irrelevant as a fantasy player this season. However, he still needs to be owned in all leagues with plus teams due to what should be an imminent increase in targets.
Rice Breaston returned to action in Week 8, catching eight passes for yards in a loss to the Buccaneers. With Larry Fitzgerald drawing a ton of defensive attention, he should see more than his share of single coverage in the Cardinals offense down the stretch.
While the team's poor quarterback play does hurt Breaston's value, there's still no reason he shouldn't be owned as a fantasy reserve in most leagues with plus teams. Jackson, considered a top fantasy wideout in the offseason before word of his contractual holdout emerged, has signed his tender offer with the Chargers and will be back in action at the end of the month.
As a result, owners that have roster space and need a wideout should look to add and stash Jackson now before it's too late. The closer we get to Week 12 when he's eligible to return , the fewer leagues he'll be available.
Williams is a legitimate playmaker in the Buccaneers offense and well worth a roster spot in formats with plus teams. But for some reason, he is still a free agent in over 50 percent of NFL. That percentage should drop after Week 8, though, as the talented rookie out of Syracuse put up 83 yards and one touchdown in a win over the Cardinals. Williams has now recorded plus receiving yards in three of his last four games.
Tamme made a major impact on Monday Night Football , posting six catches for 64 yards and one touchdown in a win over the Texans. With Dallas Clark out for the season, Tamme could be a viable No. Not only will he see his share of targets, but he also has one of the greatest quarterbacks in the league in Peyton Manning throwing him the football.
With Jermichael Finley and Dallas Clark out for the season and six teams on a bye once again, countless fantasy owners are no doubt looking to add some depth at tight end.
If you need a bye-week replacement, Pettigrew is well worth a look off the waiver wire. He caught his second touchdown pass of the season in Week 8, and Pettigrew is now on pace to finish with a solid 80 receptions and yards based on his current numbers.

That's the name of this business. Production is at the center of concerns that Green-Ellis might be in his last days as a Bengal. After rushing for nearly 1, yards in , he had only in A large part of the drop-off had to do with the fact that Green-Ellis was sharing more carries with Bernard. But that doesn't explain his low rushing average. The quality of Green-Ellis' carries was poor a year ago, as he gained just 3.
The year before, he averaged 3. In , arguably his best season, Green-Ellis averaged 4. It does bear pointing out that in the Bengals' playoff loss in January, Green-Ellis was running like a man on a mission. He compiled a 5. After coming out and running early in the game, the Bengals pulled back on the run-game plans. His final two rushes of the game came on the first two plays of the second half. Under Jackson, such low second-half rushing numbers shouldn't rear their ugly heads again, playoffs or otherwise.
That's especially the case when you consider the Bengals are bringing in a young, fresh-legged ballcarrier who was effusively praised for his vision, speed, agility, pass-catching skills and ability to create his own holes.
Everything's not going to be blocked perfectly, everything's not going to show up right," Jackson said, speaking about Hill. That's what he demonstrated. You don't make 1, yards in the SEC by just running through gaping holes. This guy has it and hopefully he'll come here and exhibit what he's shown in college football. Team finances are another reason the year-old Green-Ellis might want to be concerned about his future now that Hill is in Cincinnati.
With the Bengals trying hard to extend quarterback Andy Dalton and sending clear messages through this draft that they believe the embattled signal-caller is the long-term face of their franchise, cutting Green-Ellis makes fiscal sense.
Through three rounds the Bengals haven't selected a quarterback.
