Quarterbacks

Alex Smith- I believe Smith has been picked up in a lot of leagues but he is also still available in a few.  Smith has a fantastic matchup with Detroit and could be started over Eli Manning vs. Carolina or even Donovan McNabb vs. Denver

Running Backs

Jerome Harrison- Aright obviously Harrison has most likely been picked up.  He is probably a RB2 this week against the Raiders.  One thing I have noticed about Harrison this year is that the two times he has hulked up in a game, Week 4 against Cincinnati and Week 13 against San Diego, the next game he received less than 10 carries.  So there is some risk to starting Harrison.  Coach Mangini has some interesting game plans.  I think this time Man “Genius” has to have big plans for Jerome.

Michael Bush- Deserves to be right behind Harrison on this waiver list due to his potential in an easy matchup with Cleveland, but like Harrison, Bush is not a lock for the touches due to unpredictability of usage.  Darren McFadden also performed well last week but Bush outshined him.  Look for 15 touches for Bush though, regardless.

Maurice Morris- Surprised the frick out of everyone last week by rushing for over 160 yards and a touchdown.  If it is safety you desire, look for a six to eight point lock this week, but not much more.  Morris will definitely get 15-20 touches.  I do not expect for Morris to come through the way he did last week, I mean c’mon, last game was probably Morris’ best game in his career.

Wide Receivers

Josh Morgan- Was an ultra sleeper before the season started and lately, due to SF’s spread offense attack, Morgan has been putting up some numbers for the first time all season ( two TDs in the last three).  Hell, if I were a defensive coordinator I would double Vernon and Crabtree and let Alex Smith try to beat me with weaker players.  Morgan is a strong player and will capitalize more often as he builds more chemistry with Alex Smith. 

Chaz Schillens- Was lookin like a TO clone last week, straight up.  He has that type of frame and might develop into that type of receiver eventually.  I think the Raiders probably like what they saw out of him last week and want to see more.  Look for him to see 8-10 targets this week but poor QB play could limit him to three catches or less, of course. 

Deion Branch- With Burleson out of the picture, Branch is an above average WR pickup.  There really aren’t a lot of WR pickups to make this week unfortunately.  Hopefully Branch gets into the slot on a lot of snaps.  We all saw the game Mike “Christopher” Wallace put up against the Packers last week. 

Devin Aromashodu-  He didn’t do much last week but he’s seen 22 targets the last two weeks.  Cutler loves this guy and its possible the Bears actually play well Monday night against rival Vikings
