QB:
Brady Quinn - Quinn has usurped the starting job from the ineffective Derek Anderson and should be the top waiver wire add this week. I have a lot of confidence that Quinn will be a solid fantasy QB2, with potential QB1 value in the right match up throughout the rest of the season. He has a good line in front of him, a solid RB, and a great WR/TE combination to throw to. The only thing missing is a reliable 2nd WR, but Winslow helps make up for that.
Sage Rosenfels - Rosenfels is a must-add for Schaub owners, and an interesting add for non-Schaub owners. It appears as though he'll start 3-4 games, and there's an outside chance he could start for the rest of the season depending on how Schaub recovers from his injury. He's proven both last year and this year that he's capable of putting up very good numbers with the excellent Houston passing attack.
Shaun Hill - Hill will be SF's QB over the rest of the season barring disaster, and as someone running Martz's offense, he has potential. At worst, he'll be a QB2 like O'Sullivan who's a decent stash behind a reliable QB1. At best, he could emerge as a QB1 play in the right match up.
RB:
Ryan Torain - I told you to grab him last week, and now you have to this week as he has a good chance at starting on Thursday night as I've detailed before. Denver's running game has been incredibly erratic so far, but Shanahan loves Torain's talent, and he now has opportunity.
Ray Rice - Rice exploded for 150+ rushing yards last week, and he very well could start again this week. He's a must-add for McGahee owners, and a great speculatory add for all owners. With a strong showing again this week, he could steal the job from an injured/ineffective McGahee.
Jamaal Charles - Charles, at worst, is a good bye-week add while LJ is suspended for week 10. At best, LJ gets suspended even more and Charles continues to start games. Edwards mentioned that he doesn't view Charles as a 20 carry RB, but given the season-ending knee injury to Kolby Smith, he doesn't have much else to turn to. Charles also offers solid passing game skills, which will keep him on the field as the Chiefs will be losing far more often than winning.
Selvin Young - Young isn't healthy yet as evidenced by his inactive status last week, but he's clearly #1B on the depth chart unless Torain takes the job and runs with it. His status for this week is questionable, but he's a solid add to see how the DEN backfield shakes out over the next couple weeks.
WR:
Jerry Porter - Now this is purely a end-of-the-roster stash, but Porter showed a glimpse of life last week with a couple catches for 30ish yards. When Matt Jones finally serves his 3 game suspension, he'll immediately become the most talented pass catcher on the field for the Jaguars. He's a good WR5 to see what happens over the next couple weeks. Mike Walker is also a thought, but he's yet to see the field since his latest knee injury.
Mark Bradley/Roscoe Parrish - Both of these guys are much like Porter, but with less of an opportunity. Both are clearly secondary or tertiary options in their respective mediocre passing attacks, but both can make some noise with their opportunity. They're both talented and should see more balls their way over the next few weeks. Stash material.
TE:
Tony Scheffler - This is if an impatient owner has dropped him. Once Scheffler gets back on the field, there's no question that he'll be a top 5 TE option again. He's undoubtedly worth having on your bench while he recovers from his latest injury.
