Putting the final piece of your fantasy football puzzle together?
I’ve uncovered some guys you can plug in to your lineup if you are dealing with an injuries or tough matchups. Check back following the games to see the stat line of guys profiled.
Quarterback
Jeff Garcia
The thing I like about Garcia is that he rarely turns the ball over. He is a nice, safe pick who should be good for 225 yards and a TD or two against the New Orleans Saints.
If you are in the position where you don’t want to take big risks this week, Garcia is your guy.
Runningback
Jamal Lewis
Lewis hasn’t reached the 80-yard mark since Week 8 and he has just one TD in that four game span.
He wasn’t happy with the gameplan that only afforded him 10 carries against the Houston Texans, he should get more carries and greater production this week as he faces the Indianapolis Colts.

Darren McFadden
McFadden scored twice last week, but Justin Fargas had 24 carries to Run DMC’s 10.
I expect the carries to balance out a bit this week as they face the Kansas City Chiefs and McFadden continues to get healthier (toes).
His versatility makes him the guy at the stripe, as evidenced by his two one-yard TDs. He could even throw on this week.
Wide Receiver
Ted Ginn, Jr.
Ginn was a guy that I liked coming into this year, and he’s had a handful of games that have showcased his potential. I see another solid performance from him this week as he faces woeful St. Louis.
Jabar Gaffney
Against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the New England Patriots are going to have to adjust their style of play.
Randy Moss will command plenty of attention, Wes Welker will be second on the radar, and Gaffney will have the opportunity to make some plays.
I think he’ll step up his game.
Tight End
Greg Olsen
Olsen didn’t catch a pass last week against the St. Louis Rams, so look for the Chicago Bears to get him involved against the Minnesota Vikings.
The last time they squared off, he had six catches for 74 yards and a score.
Kicker
Rian Lindell
Until they prove me wrong, I am going to keep picking on the San Francisco 49ers.
They have allowed the most FGs and the most kicker points.
DEF
Miami Dolphins
St. Louis has packed it in, Miami got embarrassed by the Patriots last week.
I get the feeling that the Dolphins are going to take it out on the Rams this week.
