RB Shonn Greene, New York Jets
As the Jets were destroying the Oakland Raiders, Greene put his name on the fantasy football map. On 19 carries, Greene had 144 yards and two touchdowns.

One of the most top heavy positions in fantasy football in 2009 is the tight end position. While there is talent at the top of the list, the talent is relatively shallow. Here is a look at the best of the best in 2009 fantasy football at the tight end position:
1. Tony Gonzalez, Atlanta Falcons
After being underrated the last few seasons in fantasy football, Tony Gonzalez is impossible to ignore right now. He’s on the Falcons now and could have another huge season.
2. Antonio Gates, San Diego Chargers
Even though Antonio Gates struggled with injuries and never seemed to be 100%, …read more

QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
As we expected, Kurt Warner was the best fantasy quarterback in the NFL in Week 9. Playing against his former team the St. Louis Rams, Warner had 342 passing yards to go along with two touchdown passes. The only thing keeping Warner from being mentioned as the best fantasy football quarterback is the injury concerns that surround him.
RB Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans
Chris Johnson is quickly becoming one of the most feared running backs in all of the NFL. In Week 9, Johnson helped lead the Titans to victory with 89 rushing yards, 72 receiving yards and …read more

QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner has turned back the clock this season and is reminding NFL experts why he has a pair of Super Bowl rings. He’s also reminding fantasy football owners why he used to be considered the best fantasy quarterback in the all the land. This week, against the St. Louis Rams, you have to think Warner will have even more motivation to torture the team he had his most success with.
RB Brian Westbrook, Philadelphia Eagles
When healthy, is there a better fantasy football player to own than Brian Westbrook? He’s such a multidimensional force the he’s a …read more

QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
Coming into the 2008 fantasy football season, many considered Kyle Orton to be too bad to even put on a roster. Now, after another good performance in Week 7, Orton is starting to look like a legitimate fantasy football starter. In Week 7, he put up 283 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings.
RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams
In fantasy football drafts, Steven Jackson was almost always a top five pick. Although he hadn’t lived up to that billing so far in 2008, his explosion in Week 7 was very impressive. He had three …read more

QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
After winning the Super Bowl as a rookie, Ben Roethlisberger has blossomed into a very capable fantasy football quarterback. He’s not going to wow you with pass attempts but he’s a very steady hand who is dependable on a week to week basis. If he’s your starter, he won’t beat you.
RB Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Quietly, Earnest Graham has been very good since becoming a starter. This season, he is averaging over five and half yards per rush. He also has three touchdowns and is a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield. He …read more

Fantasy Quarterback Sleeper
Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals – Kurt Warner has 27 touchdown passes last season, even though he entered the season as the backup to Matt Leinart. This season, Warner enters the season as the starter and could get 30+ touchdown passes. However, keep Leinart on your team because Warner tends to be fragile.
Fantasy Running Back Sleeper
Selvin Young, Denver Broncos
While you can expect Selvin Young to have to split carries, he’s a player who could very easily finish 2008 with 1,200+ rushing yards. His touchdowns might not come as regularly as you’d like but he should be …read more

Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Quietly, Owen Daniels is emerging as a very quality tight end for the Houston Texans. He has good hands and should become a mainstay in the Texans’ passing game for a long time. In 2008, look for even more catches and even more touchdowns.
LJ Smith, Philadelphia Eagles
Spending most of the season injured, LJ Smith had a forgettable 2007 campaign. However, the Eagles made Smith their franchise player and they expect him to be a key part to their success …read more

If you are in a pinch and need to find a starter off your league’s waiver wire this week, check out these players that can start in an emergency:
QB David Garrard, Jacksonville Jaguars – Garrard should be back on the field this week for Jacksonville after missing a series of games with a high ankle sprain. Although Garrard isn’t in an extremely pass friendly offense, some fantasy players forget how well he was playing before he got hurt. Garrard doesn’t have an interception on the season and has a quarterback rating over 100. If he’s playing this week, he’s a …read more

Are you looking on the waiver wire for an emergency starter for Week 9? Here are some names you should consider.

QB JP Losman, Buffalo Bills – Losman is up against the Cincinnati Bengals this week in what looks to be a great matchup. While Losman isn’t a very good quarterback usually, he could put in extra effort to try to win back his job from Trent Edwards. Two touchdowns and 250 yards passing isn’t too unrealistic given this matchup.
RB Justin Fargas, Oakland Raiders – With LaMont Jordan struggling and Dominic Rhodes seemingly out of the picture, Fargas could be …read more
