The key with all these rooks like Washington, Howard and Drake is they have an opportunity. Sometimes that's the hardest thing to get as coaches like to lean on vets. None of these guys might pan out, or maybe they all do. Its entirely likely that 1 will and I'm not sure who it will be so I grabbed all 3. But if I only had room for 1 I like their chances in the order I listed them.

Don't sleep on Howard, get him now: Published Fri Sep 23 9:47:00 a.m. ET 2016 (Rotoworld) Bears OC Dowell Loggains said rookie RB Jordan Howard had a good week of practice. Analysis: Beat writer Brad Biggs believes it could be an indication Howard is ready to start taking carries from No. 1 back Jeremy Langford. Howard showed good burst on his five touches last Monday night, something Langford hasn't displayed much of in his career. Howard also broke a tackle, which is one more than Langford has broken all season on 31 touches. Howard is worthy of a bench stash in 12-team leagues.

This week I picked up 4 RBs with upside: Dwayne Washington - Det Kenyan Drake - Mia Jordan Howard - Chi Chris Ivory - Jax At least 1 of them has to rise to be fantasy worthy, right? Maybe not this week but hopefully next week when the bye's start.

Jalin Marshall will be active for sure as he is listed as the PR/KR. He is also listed as the #4 WR ahead of Anderson.

Travis Benjamin is listed as a starting WR and PR for Chargers. Darren Sproles is the 3rd down back and PR in Philly. Corey Coleman (rookie) is listed as a starting WR and PR for Browns.

I just picked him up to play over Krapernick this week. And he has + matchups for the playoffs so he's got that going for him.

The Ravens are not the #1 rushing D in the NFL. They are currently 10th giving up 102.6 ypg.

Brady is on the bench this week in favor of Rivers. I almost did it last week but will do it this week.

This is not the week to go with Ridley against a stout TB front 7 and only 1 reliable receiver that should be blanketed by Revis. Ridley is on my bench this week as I plan to choose between Ivory and Richardson as my RB2. At least Richardson catches the ball.

I'm pretty excited about getting Hakeem Nicks in the 10th. I know, I know he's an injury just waiting to happen. But this is a contract year so I think he is gonna man up and play. And when he plays he is a fantasy machine.

Eli likes throwing to his TE. Although Myers is new to the Giants he had a fantastic year in Oakland of all places. The potential is there for some good not great numbers.

I got him in the 15th of 22 rounds in a 12 team league. There were some snickers when I drafted a guy everyone else thought would be out for the year. He can stay on my bench for a few weeks and see what happens when he comes back. My guess is I'll be laughing then.

My playoff opponent is starting Marshall and Randall "Tex" Cobb. I hope the weather keeps them both in check and would love a 3-0 game. PS. If I had Marshall I would not hesitate to start him (ASYS).

I'm going with Mathews in my flex. Let's hope he cleaned the sand out of his vagina and is ready to roll. I'm not expecting TDs but would be very happy if he got the receptions that Ronnie ###### Brown has been stealing all year.

Picked him up last week in both my leagues. Greene is not a feature back. He is slow, has no vision, hands of stone, and he can't block. Those traits make him more suited for bagging groceries than playing football. As for Powell, he is not going to lead the league in rushing but he has shown to have the traits that Greene lacks. He will become the starter sooner rather than later and should be at minimum a fantasy RB3 with RB2 upside. When he becomes the starter he should see all 3 downs since he is the teams best pass blocker and is a capable receiver.
