Roy Helu, RB, Redskins (16.2 percent owned in ESPN 10-Man Standard-Leagues)
Week 9 stats: 10 carries, 41 yards, 14 rec, 105 yards
John Beck didn't throw a pass that traveled more than 16 yards on Sunday and was perfectly content dumping the ball off to Helu. Coach Mike Shanahan said that Ryan Torain is officially Helu's backup, which would normally mean something, but because it came from Shanahan it means nothing. The Redskins didn't sign Tashard Choice for him to be a backup the entire season, eventually they will want to see what they paid for. For now, Choice remains injured and thus unlikely to take carries away from Helu, which would make Helu a low end #2 running back against a stingy Miami defense in week 10.

Laurent Robinson, WR, Cowboys (2.2 percent)
Week 9 stats: 5 rec, 32 yards, 5 Targets, 1 TD
With Miles Austin out for at least two weeks after re-aggravating his hamstring, somebody has to step up and that somebody is Laurent Robinson. The last time Austin's hamstring's forced him out was in weeks 3 and 4 and it was Robinson who stepped up in his place and caught a combined 165 yards in those two games.

Jacoby Ford, WR, Raiders (36.4 percent)
Week 9 stats: 5 rec, 105 yards, 6 Targets, 1 TD
And the hot potato game in Oakland continues, this time with Ford as the potato. In his after-game interviews, Ford mentioned that over the bye-week the Raiders worked extensively on increasing his role in the offense, which probably means Darrius Heyward-Bey's time as the #1 WR is likely over. Remember, it wasn't that long ago when coach Hue Jackson said Ford could end up as a 75-80 catch receiver. Heyward-Bey was targeted only once the entire day, but considering how well he has played before Sunday's game, it's unlikely Oakland will abandon him completely.

Denarius Moore, WR, Raiders (27.3 percent)
Week 9 stats: 4 rec, 61 yards, 12 Targets
Opposing defenses have often matched up their top cornerbacks against Moore and this has allowed his teammates to take advantage of weaker coverage. Despite the extra defensive attention, it is encouraging to see Moore with 12 targets from Palmer, which was 6 more targets than the next closest Raiders wide receiver.

Chris Ogbonnaya, RB, Browns (15.9 percent)
Week 9 stats: 13 carries, 28 yards, 1 rec, 13 yards
Ogbonnaya was named the starter late into week 9, but he wasn't worth a pickup against a tough Texans run defense. If Peyton Hillis' hamstring forces him to sit, Ogbonnaya would start once again, only this week he should find much more running room against a St. Louis run defense that ranks near the bottom of the league. 

Carson Palmer, QB, Raiders (24.4 percent)
Week 9 stats: 19-35, 332 yards, 3 TDs, 3 INT
Fantasy owners forget how terrible Palmer was during his last few seasons in Cincinnati. A disappointment in every sense of the word,  Palmer will be picked up in many leagues based off name recognition alone. This time around, he has a few weapons to work with in Jacoby Ford, Denarius Moore and Darrius Heyward-Bey, but keep in mind that Palmer threw three interceptions against a Denver defense whose opposing passers are averaging a 103.6 passer rating.

Donald Brown, RB, Colts (2.2 percent)
Week 9 stats: 16 carries, 70 yards, 1 rec, 1 yard
What can Brown do for you? At least he won't fumble the ball away like Delone Carter did on his second carry of the game. Carter was benched for the more effective Brown, who is averaging 4.6 yards per carry on the season to Carter's 4.0. Expect Brown to continue receiving the lion's share of the carries, especially with Joseph Addai still nursing his hamstrings.

Jake Ballard, TE, Giants (27.3 percent)
Week 9 stats: 4 rec, 67 yards, 7 Targets, 1 TD
That's now 4 out of his last 5 games that Ballard has put up respectable fantasy numbers. A favorite target of Eli Manning's, Ballard will likely continue to produce the rest of the year, even when Hakeem Nicks returns. Really, unless you play in a 14 team or deeper league, there's no reason why you can't own a decent tight end. 

Chris Ivory, RB, Saints (0.4 percent)
Week 9 stats: 15 carries, 67 yards
If Mark Ingram is expected to miss any more time, Ivory is worth an add in deeper leagues because any running back that can get 15 carries for New Orleans has value. 

Jerome Simpson, WR, Cincinnati (31.6 percent)
Week 9 stats: 3 rec, 41 yards, 10 Targets, 1 TD
Simpson's week 9 is the second time in the last three games that he has led the Bengals in targets, but that is not nearly as impressive as getting caught with eight pounds of marijuana in your home, weighing scales and avoiding any kind of drug charge (so far). With rookie Andy Dalton at quarterback, Simpson can't be expected to be reliable week to week and his next two opponents are the Steelers and the Ravens. 

Christian Ponder, QB, Vikings (11.3 percent)
Week 8 stats: 18-28, 236 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
In his first career start three weeks ago Ponder threw two touchdowns and two interception against the Green Bay Packers, who Ponder will face again in week 10. This one's in Green Bay and the Vikings will likely be down the entire game, which means plenty of garbage-time points for Ponder. 
Jacksonville D/ST (1.2 percent)
The last three defenses to play Indianapolis all scored double digit fantasy points and Jacksonville has had extra time to prepare for the Colts.

How Are They Still Available? 

Brent Celek, TE, Eagles (15.2 percent)
Week 6 stats: 4 rec, 42 yards, 9 Targets, 1 TD
Week 8 stats: 7 rec, 98 yards, 9 Targets, 1 TD
Week 9 stats: 7 rec, 60 yards, 9 Targets
Few tight ends have seen as many targets as Celek has over the last few games. Any tight end that receives that kind of attention from his quarterback should be owned in every league.

Ben Tate, RB, Texans (62.4 percent)
Week 9 stats: 12 carries, 115 yards, 1 TD
A few years ago the Texans dedicated themselves to improving the run game by hiring multiple offensive line coaches and spending high draft picks on linemen. That dedication has paid off the past couple of years. The Texans' run blocking is so good that Arian Foster and Tate both had 100+ rushing yard days in the same game for the second time this season. Granted it was against a weak Cleveland run defense, but Tate could find himself having another quality day against a Tampa Bay defense that is not much better than the one Houston just demolished.

Antonio Brown, WR, Steelers (34.2 percent owned)
Week 7 stats: 7 rec, 102 yards, 9 Targets
Week 8 stats: 9 rec, 67 yards, 15 Targets, 1 TD
Week 9 stats: 5 rec, 109 yards, 11 Targets
Hines Ward has officially taken the back seat to the younger, quicker Brown who has put together three straight solid fantasy days in a row. Fun fact: Only six receivers have seen as many targets as Brown on the season.

Jackie Battle, RB Chiefs (70.9 percent)
Week 6 stats: 19 carries, 119 yards, 2 rec, 21 yards
Week 7 stats: 16 carries, 76 yards
Week 8 stats: 19 carries, 70 yards, 1 TD
Week 9 stats: 14 carries, 40 yards
There's not many running backs in this league that get 15-20 carries a game, but Battle does. The fact that he is available in so many leagues is baffling.

Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets (80.4 percent)
Week 6 stats: 14-25, 201 yards, 1 TD,
Week 7 stats: 18-33, 173 yards, 3 TDs, 1 Int, 3 carries, 25 yards
Week 9 stats: 20-28, 230 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT
Despite his poor showing against Buffalo, Sanchez has been one of the best fantasy quarterbacks this year and his week 10 matchup is against the New England Patriots couldn't be better.

Tim Tebow, QB, Broncos (67.1 percent)
Week 8 stats: 18-39, 172 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 10 carries, 63 yards
Week 9 stats: 10-21, 124 yards, 2 TDs, 12 carries, 118 yards
Despite his poor performance against Detriot, Tebow still finished with 14 fantasy points in ESPN standard-scoring leagues. There might not be a worse starting quarterback than Tebow in the game right now and at the same time there are very few that are better fantasy-wise. Much has been made of Tebow's "elongated" delivery, yet he still finds a way every week to tack on at least 60 yards rushing. If the Detroit and Oakland games have taught us anything, it's that Tebow is a matchup play. He plays a Kansas City defense next week that just got manhandled by Matt Moore.

Fred Davis, TE, Redskins (86.8 percent)
Week 8 stats: 8 rec, 94 yards, 9 Targets
Week 9 stats: 4 rec, 42 yards
Coming into Sunday's game, Davis was the fourth best tight end. In all of fantasy. To repeat, there's only three guys better than him. Go get him even if you already own a quality tight end. 

Reggie Bush, RB, Dolphins (88.0 percent)
Week 8 stats: 15 carries, 107 yards, 4 rec, 17 yards
Week 9 stats: 13 carries, 92 yards, 1 TD, 3 rec, 50 yards
Who would have thought that Bush was capable of handling the lead-back role? Until Daniel Thomas' hamstring is fully healed, Bush will be the lead back and could even make it his with a couple more good games. He has performed well as of late and his next two match-ups (Washington, Buffalo) are quite favorable.

Eric Decker, WR, Broncos (79.2 percent)
Week 8 stats: 6 rec, 72 yards, 11 Targets, 1 TD
Week 9 stats: 3 rec, 47 yards, 5 Targets, 1 TD
That's now back to back weeks that Decker has scored and despite Tebow's low passing totals, his #1 wide receiver has always played well, dating back to last season when Brandon Lloyd was his #1.

Greg Olsen, TE, (82.7 percent)
Week 8 stats: 4 rec, 73 yards, 7 Targets, 1 TD
Olsen may not be the same kind of receiving threat that an Antonio Gates or Rob Gronkowski is, but Cam Newton loves looking his way near the goal-line. He currently is the #5 tight end. Seriously, there's a reason why they say to wait on drafting a tight end. Guys like Olsen are available on the waivers every year.
