FANTASY FOOTBALL IN-SEASON FEATURES

Chris Johnson, Titans –
He's ba-ack! Well, kind of; at least he looked adequate against the Bengals. Tennessee's schedule is quite running-back friendly the rest of the way, so if you've suffered with CJ this long maybe there's at least a pot of skittles at the end of the rainbow.

Darren McFadden, Raiders –
This will make two games missed, and no word on when he'll return to the field. Meanwhile, Michael Bush looks pretty doggone good.

Willis McGahee, Broncos –
A surprise beneficiary of Tim Tebow's rushing prowess, McGahee has found new fantasy life in Denver's read option--at least until some defensive end ruins Tebow.

Ben Tate, Texans –
More than just a handcuff or hamstring insurance, Tate has become a viable fantasy 1B to Arian Foster's 1A.

Roy Helu, Redskins –
Did you have Helu in the Shanahanigans RB Lotto? If so, your PPR multiplier made you a very rich individual. There's no reason he shouldn't keep the job the rest of the way--except, of course, Mike Freakin' Shanahan.

Daniel Thomas, Dolphins –
By the time he finally made it back from his hamstring injury, Reggie Bush had learned to run between the tackles and taken his job. Of course, his stock will U-turn when Bush suffers the inevitable injury.

Peyton Hillis, Browns –
Has anything gone right this year? About the only good news is that job vulture Montario Hardesty couldn't stay healthy himself and Chris Ogbonnaya hasn't exactly carped the diem. Then again, he gets the Rams this week...

Jacquizz Rodgers, Falcons –
Those weren't garbage-time carries, folks; Rodgers very nearly scored Atlanta's first touchdown and with Jason Snelling playing fullback is getting some change of pace work. Worth a look in deeper leagues..
