Don't Just Play, Win! Have you ever walked into your fantasy football draft unprepared? Carrying a 
Once again a couple long shots have come through. This week, you have a opportunity to jump on some of the players I spoke about earlier but have now shown that they can produce.
Head Smackers-
Running Backs-
Ricky Williams, Miami- We talked about him before but in case there was any doubt..He went crazy this week with 3 tds. He has only missed double digit fantasy points one all year. He should be owned in all leagues but if he isn’t, head smacker.
Wide Receivers-
Miles Austin, Dallas- If there is a league out there that took a wait and see attitude with Austin, the time to hesitate is over. Miles has eclipsed Jason Witten as Romo’s goto guy and as made Roy Williams irrelevant.
Sidney Rice, Minnesota- At 6’4″ and over 200lbs, Rice has become a favorite target for Favre early and often. The only wide out on the Vikings who is not a fantasy value is the only “big name” Berrian.
Not So Obvious
Quarterbacks-
Alex Smith, San Francisco- Many thought that Smith earned the starting job in training camp but didn’t get it. There should be no more doubt. Smith looked very good taking over for the ineffective Shaun Hill and had instant chemistry with the born again Vernon Davis. Look for respectable but not transcendant numbers from Smith.
Running Backs-
Shonn Green, NY Jets- The only reason a guy who puts up 144 yards and 2 TDs is not a head smacker is because of the RB situation in New York. He will still not be the clear cut starter, but I said before that Ryan likes this kid alot. If you have room on your roster, get him.
Wide Receivers-
Hakeem Nicks, NY Giants- Nicks has looked very good since his return from injury and appears to be playing himself into a lot more work, much to the shagrin of Manningham and Smith.
Mike Wallace, Pittsburgh- I mentioned him a few weeks ago as a hail mary but he has put up double digit fantasy numbers 3 of the last 5 weeks and is a decent flew option if you are having WR trouble during bye weeks.
Hail Marys-
Wide Receivers-
Sam Aiken, New England- He is not seeing much action right now, but with the release of Joey Galloway and the injury to Julian Edelman, he is only a bad hit from being on the field a lot in a very potent offense.
