I have a bye this week but lost Burress and Deuce. I wasn't playing Deuce much anyway since I picked up Larry Johnson but I could use a little depth there and WR. What guys would you pick up from each position?
Some of the better guys available at running back are Buckhalter, Brandon Jackson, Sproles, Jamal Charles, Green-Ellis...basically backups.
Some of the wideouts available are Gage if he clears waivers, Bobby Wade...same situation as Gage, Malcolm Floyd, Josh Reed, Koren Robinson...I may only be starting one of these guys as my only other backup receiver now is Gafney. We do get points for receptions.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Ryan Grant's playing status for Week 14 will depend on his ability to grip the football with a splint on his sprained thumb.
"We'll see how Ryan progresses this week...but we have no qualms about playing with Brandon (Jackson) in all of the situations," Mike McCarthy said. It doesn't sound like the coach is rushing to get Grant back into a full-time role after Jackson racked up 86 yards on 12 touches Sunday. Grant owners need to grab Jackson off waivers. The Packers host Houston in Week 14.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Plus like rotoworld says, Jackson looked great and they're desperate to win, I think they're going to keep giving him the ball. Out of the above options, Jackson's the best gamble I'd say.
