FANTASY FOOTBALL IN-SEASON FEATURES

Antonio Gates, Chargers –
Let it be known, Gates is the best TE going.  However, the fact that he’s been stopped by this injury for as long as he has, and now is possibly going to miss another game this week, means that he’s got to drop a bit looking forward.  Not far, just an adjustment based on his, hopefully, temporary slowdown.

Jimmy Graham/Jeremy Shockey, Saints – /
Shockey continues to battle nagging injuries, and while he still gets on the field more often than not, he’s sliding down fairly quickly in fantasy value.  In the meantime, the guy who will replace him next year, Graham, is showing just how good he is, and is making fantasy owners take note.  Move him up a little more this week.

Ben Watson, Browns –
Three of the last four weeks Watson has been basically a fantasy disappointment.  With a nagging ankle injury, he’s hit a wall of sorts compared to the hefty value he had early in the season while surprising the fantasy football world.  He still has value moving forward, but it isn’t as much as he had a few weeks ago, slide him down just a bit.

Owen Daniels, Texans –
Moving up a bit from oblivion, Daniels could be back in full swing this week, if not next.  Look for him to climb the rankings quickly when he gets back on the field.  The question will be if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season.
