In trouble and looking for a last-minute starter on this nastiest of bye weeks? We've got you covered. Each of these players is owned in less than 50 percent of CBS Sports online leagues, and each has a decent shot at being productive this week:
QB: Damon Huard. It looks like he's healthy, and he's available in 65 percent of leagues. Keep your expectations in check, since I expect the Chiefs to feed LJ the ball against that banged-up Bengals LB corps, but consider him a decent play if you're in a jam.
RB: Aaron Stecker. How slim are these pickings? Jason Wright, Cleveland's backup RB, is STARTING in 56 percet of leagues this week. I'm offering up Stecker because he's... well, because he's available in 81 percent of leagues, and I think Reggie Bush needs to have a guy in rotation. Plus he had a TD called back last week, and I think he's a decent player.
WR: Bryant Johnson. This guy has quietly become a solid No.3 for the Cardinals, and he flies under the radar because the starters are such big names. This week he gets the start (for Boldin), and I think he's got a chance to put up numbers. He's owned in 26 percent of leagues.
TE: Eric Johnson. I'm going back to the well with Johnson (35 percent ownership) just because he's getting so many looks. They haven't turned into TDs yet, but Brees keeps looking for him, and frankly, there's not much else available.
PK: Rob Bironas. This big-legged guy (19 percent ownership) looks like he could get a few FG chances against Tampa.
DST: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They're available in about 70 percent of leagues. I don't see them dominating the Titans, but I won't be surprised if the game is relatively low-scoring and includes a few Tennessee turnovers.
