Photo By: Paul Frederiksen / US PRESSWIRE It appears the running back carousel is starting to slow down in Washington. Alfred Morris has run the football well over the first three weeks and just recently the team signed Ryan Grant because of injuries to Roy Helu and Evan Royster. Today, we findout that Helu is done for the season with turf toe and his prolonged problems with his Achilles. For my money, Helu ...

Photo By: Andrew Weber / US PRESSWIRE One week of action left in the month of September and already we have a backup quarterback to pay attention to as Matthew Stafford is rehabbing a leg injury. While Shaun Hill doesn't have the physical tools of Stafford, we watched him lead the Lions to being one of the highest scoring offenses in the NFC just two years ago. Week 4 Standard Rankings – QB | RB | WR | TE | ...

Photo By: Mitch Stringer / US PRESSWIRE Only time will tell if Torrey Smith can provide fantasy owners with consistent start-worthy production but based on what we've seen from Joe Flacco through three weeks, I like his odds. After a long reception early on against the Bengals week one, Smith was relatively quiet until his big game against the Patriots. Playing with a heavy heart Smith showed us his hard wo ...

Photo By: Mitch Stringer / US PRESSWIRE Joe Flacco looks for real this season and his matchup against the Browns this week puts him on the map as a top seven option at the quarterback position for fantasy leagues. With young targets Torrey Smith and Dennis Pitta emerging as quality options, Flacco now has enough weapons around him to be a fantasy factor. Not an every week play, Flacco is an option when he h ...

Photo By: Brace Hemmelgarn / US PRESSWIRE Only 18 targets on the season but Kyle Rudolph is starting to emerge as one of the trusted options from the Vikings in fantasy leagues. Rudolph posted five receptions against the 49ers, two of them going for touchdowns. On the season Rudolph has three scores and has been an active part of Minnesota's game plan. The Vikings will head out to Detroit for a big division ...

Photo By: Paul Frederiksen / US PRESSWIRE A little trickeration from the Bengals helped kicking things off right for A.J. Green against the Redskins. On the day Green was targeted eleven times hauling in nine receptions for 183 yards and a score. If you couldn't tell by the off-season injuries to the secondary, and below average talent at strong safety and linebacker, the Bengals defense is going to struggl ...

Photo By: Kyle Terada / US PRESSWIRE Getting after the quarterback is an essential part of success on defense and it just so happens that sacking them helps a fantasy team. One of the top defenses in this category through three games is the Arizona Cardinals as they've accumulated 12 through three weeks. Clearly building on the momentum from late last season, this defense started to turn the corner when Pat ...

Photo By: Don McPeak / US PRESSWIRE Apparently the Lions weren't lying about the usage of Mikel Leshoure as the starting tailback in his first game back from suspension. At talented second-round pick back in the spring of 2010, Leshoure appears to at least be most of the way back from an Achilles injury that cost him the 2010 season. Not only did Leshoure receive the Lions share (26 carries, 4 receptions) o ...

Photo By: Evan Habeeb / US PRESSWIRE The Patriots have their problems on offense, and that means we should expect Stephen Gostkowski to continue with his three plus field-goal attempts per game. Leg strength hasn't been a problem as Gostkowski has already matched his career long of 53-yards this season. What Did We Learn From Week Three? - Perhaps all is not lost for Rob Bironas as the Titans bounced back i ...

Photo By: Kirby Lee / US PRESSWIRE After a somewhat disappointing season in 2011 that had some wondering if he would lose his job to Chris Hope this off-season, Falcons strong safety William Moore is off to a terrific start. After a solid stat line against the Chiefs, Moore started Monday night off with a bang, intercepting Peyton Manning on the first drive and missing a touchdown by one yard. Moore was all ...
