QB:
Tyler Thigpen - Who knew? Thigpen went from whipping boy to potential QB1 material in the right match up. He's definitely worth a stash as KC transitions from a power running team to a spread passing attack in a few weeks. Thigpen has it working for him, and with Gonzalez, Bowe, and a resurgent Mark Bradley, he's making it work. He's a good QB2.
Matt Hasselbeck - He's available in both of my leagues, so that means he's probably available in at least a few leagues out there. He isn't going to save your QB position, but it's hard to imagine a healthy Hasselbeck not being at least a QB2.
RB:
Peyton Hillis - Hillis is the favorite to start at RB for the Broncos after the IR placement of Michael Pittman, Andre Hall, and Ryan Torain over the last 2 weeks, plus the lingering groin injury to Selvin Young. He's likely not their 2008 solution to the RB situation, especially after today's re-signing of Tatum Bell, but he's got a good chance to have low RB2 value in week 11.
Dominic Rhodes - Rhodes simply looks like the better RB this season. Addai hasn't looked good all year, and it's worth noting that not only was Rhodes the RB on the field during the Colts game winning drive, but it was also Rhodes who caught the game winning TD. He's earned at least a timeshare, and Addai could still be hurting. Stash him.
Ladell Betts - Betts is a must-have for Portis owners now at least as insurance. As Portis continues to break down this season, Betts has proven that he can be a capable replacement. Betts is coming back from a knee injury himself, and he might not be ready this week, but Portis owners need to grab him for the stretch run.
Selvin Young/Tatum Bell - Both of these guys are worth throwing on the end of your fantasy roster as guys who have potential to start at least a game for the Broncos over the rest of the season.
WR:
Bobby Engram/Deion Branch - If Hasselbeck comes back healthy, these two will have value again, especially Engram since he doesn't battle vaginitis on a weekly basis. Stash material.
Josh Morgan - Morgan had another solid game last night, posting a nice TD catch, albeit a shaky one that he bobbled for a few steps before gliding into the end zone with it. He has a chance to be the top WR for the 49ers over the rest of the season, so he too is stash material.
Jason Hill - Another 49ers youngster that could start to amass value. His 7 catch, 84 yard effort last night was worth noticing.
Brandon Jones - Jones has flirted with being the Titans top WR before, but the inconsistent Vince Young and a knee injury have prevented that from happening. If more teams follow the Bears game plan and sell out to stop the Titans running game (obviously not all defenses are equipped to do it as successfully), Collins is going to need a WR to step up, and Jones arguably has the most talent to do it with. A speculatory pick who won't be consistent, but he's worth stashing.
TE:
Dustin Keller - Keller undoubtedly caught a lot of attention after single handedly dominating Brett Favre's targets last week, but he's a flash in the pan who won't be consistent. Only try him if you're desparate.
Billy Miller - Miller is reeling in a lot of targets from Drew Brees whenever Shockey isn't playing, so if Shockey's ankle proves to be a problem moving forward, Miller is not a bad option.
