QB Dan Orlovsky, Detroit Lions
Although the Lions are a horrible team, Dan Orlovsky is actually a decent play in Week 15. Going up against the New Orleans Saints, Orlovsky could very well finish with a pair of touchdown passes to go along with decent yardage.
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 …read more

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
It took a while for Shaun Hill to get his shot this season but he’s been very productive as a starter. Fantasy football owners looking for an emergency starting quarterback would be wise to look Hill’s way. He doesn’t have a big arm or great weapons — but the bottom line is that he’s a productive fantasy player.
RB Maurice Morris, Seattle Seahawks
The starter at running back currently for the Seahawks is Maurice Morris. He’s beaten out Julius Jones and now is getting the vast majority of the carries. In Week 15 of the fantasy football …read more

In fantasy football leagues that score 1 point per 15 yards and 6 points per touchdown, here’s a look at the top five running backs for the 2008 season:
5. Frank Gore, San Francisco 49ers
Although the Niners have had a difficult year, Frank Gore has had a bit of a bounce back season. Last year, he was a fantasy football disappointment but he’s been well worth his preseason draft positions in 2008. Down the stretch, Gore should be a very good option — especially if Shaun Hill can continue having success at quarterback.
4. Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons
Coming into the 2008 fantasy …read more

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
Being a quarterback in a Mike Martz offense is generally a good thing. Shaun Hill of the 49ers seems to be taking advantage of that opportunity. Hill, who replaced an ineffective JT O’Sullivan, played very well last week and should be a good backup fantasy football quarterback from here on.
RB Tatum Bell, Denver Broncos
If you are looking to strike gold on the Week 12 waiver wire, you definitely have to consider Tatum Bell a sleeper. Bell has been signed by the Broncos after a bevy of injuries depleted their running back corps. Bell has had …read more

QB Kurt Warner, Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner is the hottest quarterback in fantasy football. It seems like every week he goes out there, he’s going to put up at least 300 yards passing and two touchdowns. If you had forgotten why Warner is a two-time Super Bowl champion, he has reminded you with his recent play. As long as Warner can remain healthy, he’s going to be a fantasy football force for the rest of the 2008 season.
RB Frank Gore, San Francisco 49ers
Although the St. Louis Rams showed a little bit of life a couple weeks ago, they seem to have …read more

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
Shaun Hill is now the starting quarterback in San Francisco and makes for a very fine Week 9 Waiver Wire pickup. With Mike Martz still with the 49ers, you can expect the team to throw the ball a lot. Hill was somewhat effective last season and has a chance to become a decent backup for the rest of the fantasy football season.
RB Kevin Faulk, New England Patriots
With injuries to Laurence Maroney, Sammy Morris and LaMont Jordan, the door is open for Kevin Faulk to be the main running back option. The good thing about Faulk …read more

QB Dan Orlovsky, Detroit Lions
So far this season, Dan Orlovsky hasn’t looked much like a capable fantasy football quarterback. But if you are really desperate for a QB in Week 7, consider Orlovsky a fantasy football sleeper for the week. He’s facing a bendable Houston Texans defense and with Jon Kitna out of the year, he no longer has to look over his shoulder. Expect him to have at least one touchdown pass.
RB Michael Pittman, Denver Broncos
While it’s never a happy feeling starting a running back against the New England Patriots, Pittman should have some success. He’s coming off of …read more

As we head into Week 4 of the 2008 fantasy football season, which fantasy football stars are off to a slow start? Here’s a list of struggling stars:
QB Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
After a great fantasy season in 2007, big things were expected of Derek Anderson this year. So far, he has been a huge disappointment. He has only two touchdown passes compared to five interceptions. He also hasn’t passed for more than 166 yards in a game this season so far. If he doesn’t improve quickly, expect Brady Quinn to make an appearance before too long.
RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis …read more

QB Gus Frerotte, Minnesota Vikings
In Minnesota, Gus Frerotte has been given the reins to the offense and he’ll likely be decent while he remains healthy. This is as healthy as he’ll be so use him before he goes down.
RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas injured and Darren McFadden banged up, Michael Bush should get plenty of carries against the Bills.
WR Bryant Johnson, San Francisco 49ers
If Bryant Johnson is available in your league, pick him up ASAP. The Niners are going against the friendly Lions defense and Johnson should have a big game.
TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Although the …read more

QB JT O’Sullivan, San Francisco 49ers
With the Detroit Lions next on the schedule, JT O’Sullivan is a very good start. He started off the season shaky but stepped it up in the second half of his Week 2 game. He could become a good backup fantasy football QB.
RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
The Raiders like to run the ball. A lot. With Justin Fargas going down with a groin injury and Darren McFadden favoring an injured toe, Michael Bush could be the starter before long in Oakland.
WR Muhsin Muhammad, Carolina Panthers
Not too long ago, Muhsin Muhammad and …read more
