Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
If you're like me, you need a lot of help this Sunday. My opponent threw this squad at me on Friday: Chris Johnson, LaDainian Tomlinson, Antonio Gates, Vince Young and Rob Bironas. I countered with Nate Kaeding and Vincent Jackson, but I'm going to need some big performances to keep pace with that RB duo.That's a 10-team league though. These guys listed below aren't going to help me any in that shallow of a league. But if you play in a 14-team or 16-team league and are scrambling for replacements this Sunday morning, here are a few players available in 90 percent of Fleaflicker leagues that may give you a few points this weekend.
Leonard Weaver, RB, Eagles. Most expected LeSean McCoy to fill Brian Westbrook's role in the offense, but Weaver is the running back that's been seeing the most work. After scoring once each in Weeks 13 and 14, Weaver received 17 carries in Week 15 against San Francisco. Brian Westbrook's expected return will put a damper on Weaver's workload this week, but he should be the guy getting the rock at the goal line.
Mike Hart, RB, Colts. We've been adamant in our pessimism for Colts starters this week, not knowing how long they'll play in this week's game against the Colts. This uncertainty opens up potential useful plays in deep leagues, though. Enter Hart, the Indianapolis running back that's received 19 touches over the last three weeks in spot duty. Once Joseph Addai and the other Colts players leave this week's game for good, Hart could rack up 50-70 yards, well worth a flex spot in deep leagues.
Brandon Stokley and Jabar Gaffney, WRs, Broncos. Eddie Royal isn't going to play in this week's game against Philadelphia, so someone is going to receive his work (albeit limited work, as Royal owners will tell you) in the passing game. With the Eagles presumably locking down Brandon Marshall -- I mean, that's what you would do, right? -- either Stokley or Gaffney has the potential for a big game. I'd throw my stock with Stokley of the two, who gained 67 yards on two catches last week.
Brian Hartline, WR, Dolphins. In his last four games, Hartline has three game with double-digit fantasy points. Didn't expect that little nugget, did you? He gained 106 yards in Week 15, and posted modest yardage totals with one touchdown in each of his Week 12 and Week 13 games. This week the Dolphins play Houston, a tough matchup for receivers this year. With Hartline's recent fantasy totals, he's worth a deep-league play anyway.
