FANTASY FOOTBALL IN-SEASON FEATURES

Jahvid Best, Lions –
Lions fans have been down for so long, you can forgive them if they look at Best and see Barry Sanders with touchdowns. His electric speed makes him a threat anywhere on the field, and the Lions aren't shy about getting him the ball. The obvious concern is how Best will hold up to such a workload, but you can't hit what you can't catch.

DeAngelo Williams, Panthers –
Carolina's TD-free preseason was evidently a precursor to the real thing, and now the Panthers turn to a rookie quarterback to kick-start their struggling offense. With Jonathan Stewart still taking a few carries off DeAngelo's plate, his status as a legitimate RB1 is in serious question.

Fred Taylor, Patriots –
When is the last time Taylor won a war of attrition? Laurence Maroney got traded, Kevin Faulk tore his ACL... suddenly the New England backfield is a lot less crowded and Taylor still projects to be the lead dog.

Jerome Harrison, Browns –
Not only could Harrison not dent a defense he shredded last year, he's also losing significant touches to Peyton Hillis. There's just not enough to go around in Cleveland for two backs to have any real fantasy value.

Mike Tolbert, Chargers –
Tolbert, is that you? The Bolts' burly backup saw some work in Week 1 but really flexed his muscles as the feature back after Ryan Mathews went down with an ankle injury. Tolbert will now get at least a share of the goal line looks, giving him value in TD-heavy leagues as well as to those who own Mathews and are looking for an insurance policy.

Donald Brown, Colts –
After essentially taking Week 1 off, Brown showed up just enough in Week 2 to swipe a touchdown from Joseph Addai. Indy's not going to run the ball as much or as well as they did against the Giants, but Brown's presence in the game plan—especially at the stripe—puts him back on the fantasy radar.
