QB Philip Rivers, San Diego Chargers
After starting the season with three straight three-touchdown games, Rivers has had just two touchdowns in his last two games. He’s still rated highly by a lot of fantasy football owners due to his fast start, so sell him high if you can.

Ahman Green of the Houston Texans is coming off of another injury plagued season. Despite all his injuries, Green is still slated to be the starting running back on the Texans.
Last offseason, the Texans signed Green away from the Green Bay Packers and gave him the starting gig. Green was only able to play in six games and had only 260 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

McFadden is a multi-talented running back weapon who should be a top pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Look for him to be a top five pick and start rather quickly into his rookie season. After an explosive season by Adrian Peterson of the Minnesota Vikings, McFadden’s stock should be extremely high in fantasy football going into next year.
2) Jonathan Stewart, Oregon
The drop from McFadden to Stewart is a pretty far drop, however Stewart is a solid back. …read more
