Our top section stays in hibernation this week. Nothing "Smokin' Hot," but there's plenty in the other categories worth taking a look at. Even this late in the season, there are still players available that are going to be fantasy contributors. Take a hard look at your last roster spot and be willing to mix it up a bit and grab something new and cut the old. If nothing else, it will keep another owner from grabbing a player that they may need for their starting lineup. We continue to be high on several players that we've previously mentioned, and if they are still available in your league then grab them above all else on this list. Running backs Shane Vereen (New England), Donald Brown (Indianapolis) and Montee Ball (Denver) are owned in a majority of leagues, but not all. Wide receivers Jarrett Boykin (Green Bay), Aaron Dobson (New England) and Rishard Matthews (Miami) are also owned in most leagues, but not all. John Carlson (Minnesota) is a tight end in this category as well. These guys can be plugged in to cover a bye week or injury and are immediate fantasy contributors. We've got plenty of others to talk about. There's something for everyone in this week's wonders! Solid Pickups RB Chris Rainey, Tampa Bay We had Rainey listed as a deep pickup last week, as the Tampa Bay running back situation was up for grabs between he and Brian Leonard. More than 160 yards in total offense and three touchdowns later, Rainey announced his desire to be the top back for Tampa Bay. He clearly has the hot hand, and with Detroit on tap, Rainey is in line to be the top waiver wire pickup this week. RB Chris Ogbonnaya, Cleveland The Cleveland Browns have been shifting the majority of the work in the direction of Ogbonnaya, and he has not disappointed. Against Cincinnati, he was good for 99 yards in total offense, more importantly, he played the majority of the snaps for Cleveland. With only Willis McGahee and Fozzy Whittaker as his competition, look for Ogbonnaya to become more of a workhorse for the Browns. WR Rod Streater, Oakland Matt McGloin was a spark for the Oakland offense, with Streater one of the beneficiaries. Six catches for 84 yards and a touchdown against Houston gets him a mention here with the hope that these numbers can continue. Oakland has favorable passing matchups on the upcoming schedule, and Streater is worth owning in all formats. TE Delanie Walker, Tennessee Walker has been quiet of late, but he has clearly made a connection ...

Green Bay 27, Cincinnati 13 Green Bay In case you forgot, Aaron Rodgers is a stud. In this game he reminded us of his athleticism, gaining 52 yards on six rushes with two touchdowns. Alex Green started in the Green Bay backfield but was quickly replaced by Cedric Benson. Making his Packers debut, Benson played nearly the entire first half looking solid while averaging just better than six yards per carry. We should also note that Benson received a goal line carry, although unable to convert. With rumors of James Starks on the roster bubble, Benson has sudden appeal as a mid RB3 with upside. Greg Jennings returned for the Packers after dealing with lingering concussion issues. Jennings would prove he's ready by leading his team with 37 yards receiving, including a sick tippy-toe catch along the sidelines. Cincinnati Andy Dalton had a tough outing as the Packers defense came to play. Green Bay was getting consistent pressure throughout the first half with multiple blitz packages as Dalton took a number of big hits. In case you didn't see this game, Dalton just missed a wide open A.J. Green for a deep pass that would have resulted in an 80-yard touchdown. Just saying. The continued absence of BenJarvus Green-Ellis (turf toe) should begin raising concerns. Also absent was backup running back Bernard Scott, giving way once again to Cedric Peerman and Brian Leonard for the second straight game. Neither has fantasy value. Baltimore 48, Jacksonville 17 Baltimore Joe Flacco had a great game force feeding wide receiver Torrey Smith, who garnered 11 targets for the Ravens in just over one-half of play, 11! Smith caught eight of those balls for 103 yards. It's overtly obvious that Flacco is a much, much better quarterback with Smith in the lineup, but remains a mid/high QB2 with spot start potential. Anquan Boldin has clearly lost a step, but is still effective utilizing his body to shield off defenders and catch the ball underneath. Boldin is a low-end WR3. Ray Rice didn't play long, giving way to Chris Rainey and Bernard Pierce. Both Rainey and Pierce had a solid performance, adding confusion to which player will develop into the Rice handcuff, giving us reason to monitor Week 4 of the preseason. Jacksonville Blaine Gabbert got the full brunt of one of the league's best defensive units as all the Ravens' key players were in the game. Despite the low score, Gabbert again played at a high level, continually hooking up with rookie wide receiver ...

More than ever I am here to tell you that you must get your running backs early. If you do not, consequences wait for you by October, and your season may be over before Thanksgiving. Yes, I understand there is a lot of uncertainty at the top at the position and that the stud quarterbacks and wide receivers are safer. But when has safe ever won this game? There really isn't any way to slice it. If you pass on running back in the first two rounds, you're either starting an unproven kid without a job or a veteran hanging on for dear life. Or, maybe both. My full dynasty rankings will be posted soon, but for discussion's sake I want to highlight a few rankings that really stuck out as odd to me. #14 Jonathan Stewart #17 Ben Tate #18 Mikel LeShoure #19 Ryan Williams #25 Jacquizz Rodgers I want nothing to do with starting any of these guys in Week 1, but given my ranking criteria for dynasty purposes they are all in my Top 25, which means I see them as RB2s. This doesn't tell me much about how I feel about them. I know I really like them long-term and think they all have the potential to be very good fantasy starters in the right situation. However, it certainly tells me a lot about how I feel about the others! Fact is, there are a lot of former mainstays that are nearing the end of their line, clouding the running back pool after the first couple of rounds. If you're relying on any of them to lock down a starting spot week-to-week, a famous line from one Dirty Harry movie quickly comes to mind - ‘Do ya feel lucky ... punk?' The coaching staffs for Atlanta and San Francisco have already said the workloads for Michael Turner and Frank Gore, respectively, will be reduced this year. The St. Louis Rams have not stated any changes to Steven Jackson's role, but they drafted a running back in the second round this year. Willis McGahee played admirably last year, but Denver has a green rookie themselves coming in that fits the new offense better. Reggie Bush had his first healthy campaign of his career. Will lightning strike twice? Those who don't feel comfortable with these aging veterans nearing the cliff have the option to go with mediocre talents with tenuous holds on starting jobs instead. Not saying it's a better choice, but it is an option. BenJarvus Green-Ellis lacks skills in the passing game and doesn't have game breaking ability (zero 20-plus yard plays in 2011), but he is the starter for the Cincinnati Bengals. However, the coaching staff has ...
