4th & 26: Redman to the Rescue

4th and 26
is here to throw you a couple of deep sleepers, guys available in at least 90 percent of Fleaflicker leagues that could give your fantasy football team a big boost.

Isaac Redman, RB, Steelers (1% owned)
The "Funk Doctor Spock" of fantasy football has overtaken Mewelde Moore as the Steelers' third down back. He's also scored in two of the last three weeks. With the Bengals focused on stopping Ben Roethlisberger, Rashard Mendenhall, Mike Wallace and others, Redman could be good for a sneaky score.

Ed Dickson, TE, Ravens (2% owned)
Todd Heap (hamstring) is out, Ed Dickson is in. Dickson was targeted seven times after Heap exited last week's contest, and could thrive in Week 14 against Houston, the league's worst pass defense AND the worst in terms of points allowed to tight ends (10.7 per in standard-scoring leagues). With tight ends averaging 6.3 receptions, 72.1 yards and 0.6 TDs per contest versus the Texans, you can bet Dickson's licking his chops.

Ovie Mughelli, RB, Falcons (0% owned)
Mughelli came through for us last week (32 receiving yards, TD); with Jason Snelling doubtful against the Panthers, I say let's roll with him again. Mughelli touched the ball only three times against Tampa Bay (he didn't rush the ball once), but if the Falcons turn this one into a laugher early, there's a good chance Mughelli gives us some garbage time goodness.

Brandon Stokley, WR, Seahawks (1% owned)
Matt Hasselbeck has to throw to someone, right? Mike Williams looks like a no-go this week, Ben Obomanu may not play either (hand laceration), and John Carlson doesn't figure to do much against a 49ers squad allowing just 4.9 points per game to opposing tight ends. Golden Tate and Deon Butler are the obvious choices, but I'm going with Stokley, who's caught no less than four balls or tallied 47 yards in any of the last three weeks.
