Stuckey gained popularity in fantasy leagues earlier in the season with back-to-back double-digit performances in the second and third week. Since then, he’s accumulated just nine points in four games. With both Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery healthy and playing well for the Jets, Stuckey’s role in the passing game will continue to be limited.
--------------------
Hank Baskett (Philadelphia Eagles)
Baskett is a talented receiver known for possessing an amazing set of hands; however, he had his best games at the beginning of the season when both Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis were injured. Both Brown and Curtis are back and Baskett has caught just seven passes in the team’s last five games.
--------------------
Justin Gage (Tennessee Titans)
Gage is a talented receiver with good size, but he has terrible hands. He can’t hold onto the ball to save his life, and though it may take a few more games before he’s benched, his production on a run-heavy team is small to begin with.
--------------------
TIGHT ENDS
Kellen Winslow (Cleveland Browns)
This self-proclaimed “Soulja” has been one of the biggest disappointments this season. Winslow is currently on pace to catch half as many passes as he has averaged the last two seasons and is being outplayed by Steve Heiden, who is known more for his blocking than his hands. Depending on what league you’re in, there are anywhere from 18-22 tight ends worth more than Winslow right now.
--------------------
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS
San Diego Chargers
Linebacker Shawne Merriman was lost for the year with an knee injury, despite trying to play through it in the first game, and San Diego has just not been the same since. How bad is the San Diego defense? The Chargers rank last against the pass, 26th against the run, and 23rd in points allowed.
The few games that the team has won have been decided by their offense. Making things worse for the Chargers defense is that they don’t create a lot of turnovers or get a lot of sacks. It’s time to dump this unit and move on.
--------------------
KICKERS
Nick Folk (Dallas Cowboys)
Folk was a terrific find last year in fantasy football leagues, but this year, the struggles of the team’s offense have considerably drained his production. Through the team’s first nine games, Folk broke double-digit points just once. With Tony Romo still out, Folk won’t see his production improving anytime soon.
--------------------
Jeff Reed (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Before the season, it appeared the Steelers would have a good offense behind quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, running backs Willie Parker and Rashard Mendenhall, and receivers Santonio Holmes and Hines Ward, but injuries have slowed the Steelers considerably. Reed is a good kicker, but Pittsburgh is struggling on offense right now and there are simply much better options out there.
