QB Kyle Orton |
Ok, so if you are in your league finals, you likely are not in the markets for a starting quarterback. However, if you defied the odds, or road to the finals on the backs of solid RB's and WR's and want to upgrade for that final push to the holy grail, consider QB Kyle Orton. Granted he didn't toss a touchdown pass this past week, but he did throw for almost 300 yards, not too mention lead his team to a victory against the previously undefeated Green Bay Packers. With more chances to play spoiler in the division against the Oakland Raiders and his former squad the Denver Broncos, Orton is a very intriguing option the rest of the way. |

RB Sammy Morris |
I mentioned him last week as he was brought in to back up RB Felix Jones. Sure he's an insurance policy, but he didn't look too bad on Sunday, and when you take into consideration Jones' previous injury history, Morris is a smart move this late in the season. Also, for those in Dynasty leagues, this could be a small audition for work elsewhere, so he's definitely worth consideration. |
 |
RB Kahlil Bell | Sure, the Bears haven't been scoring a lot of points, but in a game where he got an opportunity to shine, Bell did just that. He cashed in with over 100 yards of combined offense and chipped in Chicago's only offensive score. In Week 16 they get Green Bay, and while I expect the Packers to come out reved up after enduring their first loss of the season, I still think Bell makes some noise in the contest. |

WR Steve Breaston |
With a more than capable quarterback behind center, the Chiefs wide receivers may come to life a bit in the last two weeks. With WR Dwayne Bowe getting most of the attention, fellow WR Steve Breaston may be the benefactor. With Oakland coming to town in Week 16, Breaston has the opportunity to put up some quality numbers. Their last two games are divisional, and while the Chiefs may be out of contention, don't underestimate the power of playing the spoiler. |
 |
WR Andre Roberts | He is not flashy, but like last season he made a late season rush and made a difference for some fantasy owners. Over the past three weeks, Roberts has tallied 179 receiving yards and scored 2 touchdowns. He definitely get the hot hand at the right time. |
 |
WR Chastin West | Despite RB Maurice Jones-Drew's heroics, the Jaguars are just playing out the string. However, for those in Dynasty leagues, it's always good to pay close attention to trends and performances that may blossom into something useful for 2012. The wide receiver position in Jacksonville is by no means set in stone, so when you see a player targeted 7 times and score a touchdown, you take notice. West is someone worth stashing away to see if he develops into something solid for next season. |
 |
WR Kyle Williams | Other than WR Michael Crabtree or TE Vernon Davis, the 49ers receiver situation is pretty much up for grabs. One bright spot is the play of second year receiver out of Arizona State Kyle Williams. He's purely a wait and see option as the San Francisco passing game is still coming together, but in dynasty formats, Williams is more than worth taking a flier on. |
 |
TE Anthony Fasano | He's been mentioned before, but take note - Fasano is quietly putting up a decent season in terms of the NFL as well as fantasy. Over 400 yards receiving and 5 touchdowns with New England and the New York Jets to go.. If you are in a pickle for a tight end, you could do worse. |
