RB Rock Cartwright, Washington Redskins – Jim Zorn has already ruled out Clinton Portis (concussion) for Week 12 and Ladell Betts tore his MCL this week so Cartwright looks like the last man standing. While we don’t see him duplicating his 140 offensive yard production next week, a starting running back is a starting running back. Cartwright is currently available in virtually all leagues polled.
WR Chris Chambers, Kansas City Chiefs – Chambers has totaled at least 60 yards receiving in each of his games with the Chiefs. He only has 10 catches in three games, but is averaging 83 yards receiving per game. Chambers is currently available in 50 percent of leagues polled and could serve as a No. 3 wide receiver option.
WR Pierre Garcon, Indianapolis Colts – Garcon was targeted 17 times last two weeks (nine and eight) and finished Sunday’s game with six receptions and 108 yards receiving. Over the last four weeks Garcon has one touchdown while averaging 68 yards receiving per game. Prospective owners will need to track the progression of Anthony Gonzalez. Reports are that Gonzalez (three weeks removed from a knee scope) will attempt to return to the line-up this week, which could limit Garcon’s production. Garcon is currently available in slightly more than 50 percent of leagues polled.
WR Jerricho Cotchery, New York Jets – Even Mark Sanchez’s four interceptions didn’t stop Cotchery from producing. He finished the day with 80 yards receiving and one touchdown and has scored a touchdown in two straight games while averaging 74 yards receiving. In fact he has no less than 68 yards in each of the seven games he’s started this season. He is currently available in nearly 30 percent of leagues polled.
TE Kevin Boss, New York Giants – Boss has scored a touchdown in three straight games and has averaged 54 yards receiving per game over the last four weeks. Boss is currently available in 50 percent of leagues polled.
