QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
After Matt Hasselbeck suffered a rib injury a few weeks ago, many fantasy owners left him for dead. However, he had four touchdowns this week and is definitely worthy of a roster spot. Grab him!

RB Sammy Morris, New England Patriots
With Fred Taylor sidelined following ankle surgery, Sammy Morris has emerged as the running back to own on the Patriots. He’s getting carries and catches out of the backfield.

WR Miles Austin, Dallas Cowboys
Miles Austin had a game to remember — 250 receiving yards and two touchdowns. With the passing game struggling, the Cowboys may look to Austin more and more starting in Week 6.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Quietly, Visanthe Shiancoe now has three touchdowns this season. This week, he played arguably his best game of the season. Pick him up off the waiver wire if he is available.

QB Jason Campbell, Washington Redskins
At the end of the Redskins game in Week 1, Jason Campbell seemed to find his groove. Going against the St. Louis Rams, he should find a healthy amount of success.

RB Larry Johnson, Kansas City Chiefs
Larry Johnson didn’t look good in Week 1 but he’s going against the Oakland Raiders in Week 2. LJ knows that his time at starter may be running out so expect him to give a maximum effort.

WR Isaac Bruce, San Francisco 49ers
Even though Isaac Bruce is arguably the top offensive option in the Niners offensive unit, he rarely gets respect in the fantasy world. If you need a fantasy football sleeper, pick up Bruce and start him this week.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
In Week 1, Visanthe Shiancoe was almost silent. But Week 2 will be different. He’s going against the Detroit Lions and as we saw with Jeremy Shockey’s two touchdowns against the last week, the Lions are a tight end’s best friend.

QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
Although he was bad last season, Matt Hasselbeck looks like he could be headed to a strong Week 1 of the 2009 fantasy football season. He has good wide receivers and he’s going up against the Rams. Go ahead and start him.

RB Mike Bell, New Orleans Saints
With Pierre Thomas out for Week 1, Mike Bell could see a lot of work. While Reggie Bush is going to start, expect Bell to get a healthy number of touches.

WR Brandon Marshall, Denver Broncos
Even though Brandon Marshall has had a ton of drama circling him as of late, it appears likely that he’ll play in Week 1. If he does, don’t hesitate to start him.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
In Brett Favre’s first game with the Vikings, he may play it a bit conservative. If so, expect a lot of action for Visanthe Shiancoe.

QB Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
Last season, Matt Hasselbeck had a rough season. He missed more than half the season due to injury. However, in the prior five season, he’s thrown at least 22 touchdowns in four of those years.

RB Ahmad Bradshaw, New York Giants
Although Ahmad Bradshaw isn’t a starter, he plays behind Brandon Jacobs — who isn’t exactly known for staying healthy. Even if you don’t draft Jacobs, Bradshaw is very good depth for your bench.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos
With the news that Brandon Marshall is suspended, Eddie Royal’s value has gone up and up. He appears destined to be the number one receiver in Denver and could explode onto the scene in 2009.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Even though the Vikings used multiple quarterbacks last year, Visanthe Shiancoe managed to have a good season. With Brett Favre added to the mix, expect him to do even better.

RB DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers
It’s hard to call DeAngelo Williams anything other than a fantasy football phenom. Against a tough New York Giants defense, Williams had four rushing touchdowns and more than 100 yards. On the season, Williams has more than 1300 yards and 18 touchdowns.

WR Marques Colston, New Orleans Saints
Although he’s had a disappointing season on the whole, Marques Colston came up big in Week 16 of the fantasy football season. He finished the game against the Detroit Lions with two touchdowns, 99 receiving yards and nine catches. The nine receptions were a season-high and he doubled his touchdown total on the season with those two TDs.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
If you started Vishanthe Shiacoe, you are one happy fantasy football owner. The Vikings’ tight end had two touchdowns, 136 receiving yards and seven receptions. With this huge game, Shiancoe has officially elevated himself to stud status on the tight end market.

RB DeAngelo Williams, Carolina Panthers
Coming into the 2008 fantasy football season, DeAngelo Williams wasn’t a wanted man in the fantasy world. He was a part of a dreaded running back by committee situation in Carolina. However, now he’s emerged as the hottest back in fantasy football and is suddenly a must start each and every week.

WR Kevin Walter, Houston Texans
Kevin Walter showed some promise in 2007 but nobody could have imagined him becoming a top ten wide receiver in 2008. While he’s still not quite as valuable as teammate Andre Johnson, Walter has had a huge year and seems to be playing better and better as the season has progressed. Going into 2009, Walter will be a household name in the fantasy football world.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Prior to 2008, Visanthe Shiancoe was known as a player who didn’t always give great effort. He was also known for his bad hands. In 2008, Shiancoe has become a very productive tight end who is currently ranked in the top five. While he’s not overly consistent, he’s capable of scoring a touchdown in any given week.

RB Pierre Thomas, New Orleans Saints
With the news that Reggie Bush will miss at least a couple of weeks, Pierre Thomas now moves into a role where he’ll share carries with Deuce McAllister. While he may not get more than 10 to 12 carries per week, he’ll be a touchdown threat every week.

WR Malcom Floyd, San Diego Chargers
Chris Chambers is down injured and Malcom Floyd is doing a good Chambers impersonation. He’s using his long length to his advantage and is a great target in the end zone. As long as Chambers is out and Philip Rivers remains on fire, Floyd is a good start.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Since Gus Frerotte has taken over as quarterback of the Vikings, Vishanthe Shiancoe has emerged as a very good fantasy football tight end option. If he’s still available on your league’s waiver wire and you need a tight end, be sure to pick him up.
