Sniff, Sniff...I Smell Fantasy Playoffs

If your team is like mine, it's hovering around the .500 mark and in the gel for fantasy playoffs. 

But if your team is stuck below the break-even mark, here are some good pickups to help you get over the hump and into the playoffs.

RB

Ricky Williams: Yeah, he's back, and now available in most leagues—so put in that waiver request.

Miami has a relatively easy schedule, playing Buffalo and the Jets in the upcoming weeks. 

If you're carrying players such as Shaun Alexander, Larry Johnson, or Frank Gore, who either haven't performed or are hurt, Ricky may be worth a look.

Ron Dayne: He has quietly come alive over the past couple of weeks.  With 21 carries in each of his last two games, he has amassed 211 yards and one TD in that span.  These are pretty solid numbers for someone as widely available as Dayne. 

He should be to able continue putting up those numbers this week against Cleveland, who averages 137 yards per game on the ground.

WR

Devard Darling: He looked like he had some chemistry with Boller last week, netting 107 yards and a TD.  If you need help at WR, he may be worth a look. However, I would wait a week to see if continues to perform before putting him in your lineup.

Bernard Berrian: Just as I predicted, he has great chemistry with Rex Grossman and got plenty of looks last week.  Chicago plays Minnesota in Week 15—the heart of the playoffs—and the Viking pass defense isn't too great.  Pick him up and put him in the third wide receiver slot.

QB

Rex Grossman: See Bernard Berrian.

Jason Campbell: He's quietly having a good year. Last week, he threw for 354 yards, two TDs and one INT. Those are some good numbers.  He seems like he's getting into a groove, throwing for 215 yards and three TDs the week before.

He is ranked 46th in the Yahoo game, but he is available in my league.  He is worth a spot on your roster if you need some help in the pocket, such as for the injured McNabb.

TE

Donald Lee: He has torn it up the past few weeks, picking up TD after TD.  He had two touchdowns last week and another the week before.  If he's available, he is a good pick up at tight end right now.
