Sneaky Pickups

Again, the weekly Wednesday column is going to focus on plug-n-plays (wow, that sounds...nevermind), instead of long term value pickups.  The one long term add here is Fred Jackson, who may have taken the Buffalo running back job for good.

Here are a few guys who could be good adds for Week 13.

David Garrard, QB, Jags
I'm wrestling with starting him over Roethlisberger this week.  Houston should be able to score on Jacksonville, so this game has the potential for some points.

Jason Avant, WR, Eagles
With Jackson out, Avant should see even more looks against a bad Atlanta secondary.  He is also working on three nice games in a row.

Andre Caldwell and Laveranues Coles, WR, Bengals
I'm nervous here about a heavily featured rushing attack, but playing all players who face the Lions has been a bulletproof fantasy strategy for some time.

Larry Johnson, RB, Bengals
Whoever is the number two guy behind Benson is going to get a lot of work.

Correll Buckhalter, RB, Broncos
Did you see he had 20 carries last week?  They play the Chiefs Sunday.

Chris Brown, RB, Texans
Yuck.  But we do know he is better than the Texans' other Kris Brown.

Willis McGahee, RB, Ravens
Pack has been tough against the run, but McGahee has regained the goal line in Baltimore.  Probably a play in TD heavy leagues only.

That's it for today.  Hit me up on the chatroll if you have questions.

Cheers,
