1. Justin Forsett- With Ray Rice gone the RB for the Ravens is going to be on everyone's radar. I think Forsett is the guy to get over Bernard Pierce. Pierce keeps getting opportunities and keeps falling short of locking up the starting job. Forsett did not start in week 1 but was the more productive back compiling 70 yards on 11 carries with 1 touchdown and adding 5 catches for 13 yards. Big pick up for PPR leagues.
2. Allen Hurns- The undrafted rookie came out of nowhere in week 1 catching 4 passes for 110 yards and scoring 2 touchdowns. He was stellar all pre-season and looks poised to have a great season overall. His targets may go down when Cecil Shorts gets healthy again but that is a big maybe. He is still available in a lot of leagues and worth a pick up if your week at WR.
3. Harry Douglas- Matt Ryan is throwing the ball all over the field, Tony Gonzalez is gone as the 3rd option, and Roddy White and Julio Jones are always injury question marks. Douglas is going to have a sneaky good year and could be a good back up starter on any roster. He's a great option in deep leagues.
4. Bobby Rainey- A pretty obvious handcuff pickup for Doug Martin owners. There was a lot of expectations on Doug Martin to have a bounce back season and in week 1 he was horrible. 9 carries for 9 yards. After a questionable injury and possible benching, Rainey came on and made an impact scoring a touchdown. In addition to that Mike James has been placed on IR. Rainey could be the bell horse by default.
5. Terrance West- When Ben Tate went down West and Crowell became the running back by committee tandem. It looks like Tate will be out for a couple weeks so West should see a lot of action. Although Crowell got the scores, West was the back used more getting 100 yards on 16 carries. Expect more of that until Tate comes back.
Keep in mind these are options I am seeing for deeper leagues. If you are struggling to find options these guys are the ones to target. Good luck to all!
