Fantasy Football "On the Rise"


Here are some guys who may see an increase in value this week, they are not listed in order of value;

Hopefully, you guys listened last week and grabbed "The other" Adrian Peterson who had over 150 total yards and QB Gus Frerotte who threw for 3 TDs and with the Rams season just about over, there is no need to rush Bulger back.

1. WRs Shaun McDonald and Mike Furrey Det-With the news that Roy Williams will miss the rest of the season. McDonald and Furrey each move up a notch on the depth chart and with all the passses the Lions throw, somebody has to be catching them. The Lions remaining schedule is pretty tough and should have them playing from behind and passing often.

2. RB Fred Jackson Buf-Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas missed the game yesterday and Fred Jackson stepped in and put 151 total yards, granted 22 yds came on the first play of the game where the Redskins paid tribute to Sean Taylor by only putting 10 defenders on the field. Regardless, the Bills have the Dolphins next week and if Jackson gets the start, he should be able to do some damage, even Thomas Jones got a TD (as predicted in 5x5x5).

3. QB Kyle Boller Balt-Steve McNair is going on IR, so its Boller's job, he can't be any worse then McNair was and if he is you should grab Heisman guy Troy Smith. The Ravens were really smart to cut that Derek Anderson guy last year.

4. QB Sage Rosenfels Hou-Seems like Rosenfels is on this list every other week, after dislocating his shoulder (maybe now he feels David Carr's pain) he may be out for the year, Rosenfels has been a solid backup and could use this time to showcase his skills to other teams.

5. QB Chris Redman Atl-If you need to play any Falcons QB, you are in BIG trouble, Redman hasn't played football in 2 seasons and even if he continues to start he is just providing game tape for Brian Brohm or Matt Ryan to watch.

6. WR Justin Gage Ten-Vince Young has been throwing more and Gage has benefited, averaging 80yds and .5 TDs in his last 4.
