Kyle Orton, QB

Well, let's face it, it's probably going to be impossible to figure out just who will strike Kyle Orton's fancy as he is orchestrating those tedious but effective Denver Bronco offensive drives.

This week Tony Scheffler emerged from Josh McDaniels' secret offensive playbook lair to cause most of the passing offense mayhem with six catches, 101 yards, and a TD. Forget about predicting when that will happen again, but for now QB Kyle Orton seems like a safe guy to throw in your lineup with the expectation that he will connect with someone for constructive results.

James Jones/Jermichael Finley, WR/TE

There aren't many teams whose secondary TE and No. 3 receiver you might consider, but the Packers don't represent the typical mundane passing offense when things are clicking.

QB Aaron Rodgers has gradually found his groove over the past three weeks, and over the past two games against Minnesota and Detroit he has launched 37 passes. For all intents and purposes, TE Jermichael Finley has surpassed Donald Lee as Green Bay's top option at TE, and James Jones gets the chance to fill in for injured Jordy Nelson over the next couple weeks.

Both these guys are certainly worth a shot in deep leagues as the Packers face Cleveland, Minnesota, and Tampa Bay over the next three games.

Michael Crabtree, WR

Yes Crabtree is the whining prima donna who was insulted by his team’s original multi-million dollar contract. After all, he hasn’t proven anything yet so it certainly made sense for him to holdout until he got his additional pile of money plus assorted superfluous incentive perks.

Now just out of principle, if Crabtree wasn’t going to immediately start for the receiver-deprived San Francisco 49ers, he should be left on the waiver wire. However, since the rookie has apparently made an immediate good impression, and the 49ers are desperate enough to believe it will translate into game performance, he is a decent fantasy prospect to take a chance on.

Jonathan Stewart, RB

While the Tampa Bay defense was giving WR Steve Smith secret service coverage like he was the visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, the Panther running game seemed to benefit from the lack of attention.

While DeAngelo Williams was his typical rambunctious self, it was a pleasant surprise to see Jonathan Stewart get on track. Maybe Stewart is finally shaking his nagging Achilles injury as suggested by his best fantasy performance since last December. He finished with 17 carries for 110 yards and a TD on the day.

Mike Bell, RB

Pierre Thomas was the more effective runner, but Mike Bell returned from a two week absence to share equal carries and convert a redzone opportunity. Reggie Bush is still meandering around in a role that seemingly becomes more insignificant each week, but Bell seems like a safer bet to misappropriate some of Thomas's carries and vulture some of the ample TD opportunities that the Saints offense usually creates.
