RB DeShaun Foster, San Francisco 49ers
Filling in for the injured Frank Gore in Week 15, DeShaun Foster put up more than 100 combined yards against the Miami Dolphins. If Gore misses another week, Foster should have an even better game this week against the St. Louis Rams.

WR Deion Branch, Seattle Seahawks
After two straight quality games, it’s safe to start trusting Deion Branch. He followed up a two touchdown game in Week 14 with five catches for 76 yards in Week 16. Although his matchup this week against the New York Jets isn’t great, he’s still a good emergency starter.

TE Zach Miller, Oakland Raiders
Although the Oakland Raiders offense is very bad, Zach Miller is their best offensive player at the moment. He has three straight games with at least five catches and six straight games of at least 40 yards. Miller should have a solid week in fantasy football in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.

Regarding Gore, this news doesn’t mean too much. Foster is a solid backup running back but Gore is the better player. Gore should have plenty of carries in 2008 and should be able to have a bounce back season.

In Carolina, DeAngelo Williams is now in line to be the starter. This is great news for Williams’ stock in fantasy football. With Foster out of the way, Williams should see plenty of action. While the Panthers will bring in a back to pair with Williams, it is expected that Williams will be the starter and get most of the carries. If that appears to be the case come fantasy football draft time, Williams will likely be a third or fourth rounder.

Good Riddance Deshaun Foster …
