Week 8 WW Wonders

This will likely be the last thing I'll post in awhile because of my test (Dec. 5th), so here goes:

Shonn Greene: With Leon Washington on IR, the skilled Greene takes over in a semi RB2/committee. The Jets won't get 50 carries a week or whatever, but 8-15 touches per week depending on opponent isn't unrealistic at all. Scoop him up if you can.

Mike Hart: With Donald Brown out 2-3 weeks, Hart may be in line for some touches, because I feel like the Colts staff doesn't want to lean on Addai fully and have him wear out like he has in past seasons. Worth a look 'til Brown is back.

Fred Davis: With Cooley out anywhere from 4 weeks to the season, Davis makes a nice TE2 or TE1 in deep leagues. He receives really well and Campbell looked his way often on Monday. He actually dropped another TD and still had an 8/80/1 line.

Alex Smith: Still got Delhomme, Shaun Hill or Trent Edwards as your QB2? Take a QB with alot more upside in Smith. Maybe this coaching regime will finally bring about what was expected of him.

Jamaal Charles: LJ is in a major doghouse in KC, and Charles is both a decent runner and pass catcher with fumbling problems. That said, since Kolby Smith is on IR, he'd take over as featured back in KC if/when LJ sits out.

Sam Aiken/Brandon Tate: Aiken for shorter term prospects, Tate for longer term with return yardage. The Pats have a seriously tough schedule ahead of them, but they'll still pass and pass often. I suspect if Tate shows more as he gets healthier, he make take over more WR3 snaps as the season progresses.

Sammie Stroughter: Regardless of Freeman or Johnson at QB, things won't look good in TB. That said, Stroughter has been on the field more and more, and is worth a speculative play in deeper leagues.

Brian Hartline/Davone Bess/Greg Camarillo: It remains to be seen who will benefit most from Ginn's decreased snap counts, but all make better plays now, especially Bess in PPR formats. I don't have any insight as to who will benefit the most since it's so random in Miami at WR, so watch how they play NYJ and see (also don't discredit whoever Revis covers).

Malcolm Floyd: He should overtake Chris Chambers at WR real soon in SD. Bigger, faster, younger, better than Chambers.

Dammy Amendola: Desperate in a deep league with points for return yardage? He's your man, and Keenan Burton sure isn't anything special in STL. (Not saying Amendola is either, but those return yards...!)

Jason Snelling: Worth a look in deeper leagues with Norwood still out. A better pass catcher than Turner, and he's actually a decent talent, he might see 5-10 touches a game here and there.

Arizona D: Playing Carolina and Jake DeLOLhomme this week.

Matt Moore: Speaking of Jake Delhomme, this guy could be worth a stash in deep dynasties or something. When the notoriously loyal John Fox starts souring on you, you're in trouble.


That's all for now, good luck all...see you in awhile!
