Remember, these are not guys to bench your studs for, but they are guys who might save your week if you have the injury bug.

QB- Stick with Orton this week if you don't have a one of the big guns. Hopefully you grabbed him off the wire last week, as he was on many still. Orton will be taking heat from Freeney and Mathis but this offense is better set up for the hot read a quick distibution of the ball.
RB- Sammy Morris will suprise many this week and be a bandaid for teams hit hard with the injury bug at RB. I see 75 total yards with 5 receptions and a TD. He will benefit from the loss of Faulk in this offense, and the Bills at home after a bad loss.
RB- The Ravens take no chances at home vs. the Browns and run the ball. McGahee can get you that much needed TD in non-ppr leagues. If he gets a shot at a series or two in relief of Rice, he could pile on 50 yards. I'm not suggesting starting him over Rice at all, just telling those teams really hurt at this position he will score. Ravens take the lead and run the ball in the second half.
WR- Justin Gage will fill the gap for you at #3 WR this week. 6 for 75 and a score.
WR- Play Gaffney this week. Thomas had a big week while Orton was under no duress. This week Orton will need his Mr. Dependable on hot reads and that will be Jabar. 8 -100 and a TD
TE- Moeaki will continue to be the top receiver on the team. 5-65 and a TD
TE- Rosario will play a role in Clausen's first start. It won't be huge, but if you are hurting at TE, I see 4-55 and a possible score.
Def.- I have been high on Miami all preseason and feel they pick 6 Sanchez. After the big game last week in Minnesota this might not be deep, but this is a nice defense to play this week at home for control of the division.

I almost added Earnest Graham to this list, but held off due to them playing the Steelers. Remember him moving forward, as he might again hold value on this team in ppr formats, with 5 receptions becoming the norm. (Ward gone, Huggins dinged, and Caddy already on retreads)

I gave Kuhn some run last week and he continues to be a solid play for your squad if you are in need of injury relief.

Ravens take the lead and run the ball in the second half. 7-29 Boldin rendered him unnecessary

WR- Justin Gage will fill the gap for you at #3 WR this week. 6 for 75 and a score. 3-39 Britt got the redzopne toss again though Gage led all Receivers with this total

WR- Play Gaffney this week. Thomas had a big week while Orton was under no duress. This week Orton will need his Mr. Dependable on hot reads and that will be Jabar. 8 -100 and a TD Gaffney is not done in this offense at all! 12-140 :koolaid:

TE- Moeaki will continue to be the top receiver on the team. 5-65 and a TD 4-44 and 1 TD will be fairly common

TE- Rosario will play a role in Clausen's first start. It won't be huge, but if you are hurting at TE, I see 4-55 and a possible score. 2-12 This one disappointed me. I thought I was all over it

Def.- I have been high on Miami all preseason and feel they pick 6 Sanchez. After the big game last week in Minnesota this might not be deep, but this is a nice defense to play this week at home for control of the division. -game being played

Ernest Graham- I ptojected 5 receptions and a ppr play - I had him as a an also ran so I can't take full credit, but he might find his way on here again in ppr matchups 70 total yards and 4 catches
When you have to go DEEP this is liable to happen to you, but we will continue to try to find DEEP matchups as we enter the bye weeks.

Good Call, Bad Call, We'll accept some credit

Kudos on this stuff RC. It's not easy to reach on some of these, and I think you do a good job with it. Even your Bad Calls aren't that bad when you jump off the deep end like that.

Bye weeks and injuries make it necessary to dig DEEP! Thanks!
