The picture has become clearer, both with the players on your team and the wire.  If you missed on Week 1 Pickups, here’s a list of guys who will be valuable to your team in the future either in the short-term or long-run.  Availability in parenthesis via ESPN.

Wide Receiver

• Denarius Moore (99.7%): Broke-out in first start. Shouldn’t see bench soon.
• Mike Sims-Walker (68.7%): Most targeted Ram up to speed.
• Jerome Simpson (50.5%): Friendly schedule continues.
• Eric Decker (93.4%): Looked like Ed Mc. WR2 when Lloyd returns?
• Jabar Gaffney (90.4%): Second WR with old QB.
• Greg Little (97.6%): Only a matter of time until #1.

Running Back

• Dexter McCluster (79.3%):  Standouts because of his explosiveness and more importantly WR eligible in ESPN and Yahoo! leagues. 
• Thomas Jones, LeRon McClain: Looking like a committee.
• Tashard Choice (98.1%): Could get his chance soon with Felix hurting.
• Roy Helu (89.4%): Got 10 carries for 74 yards on Sunday.
• Issac Redman: Making most of opps and desperation play vs Indy if necessary.

Quarterback

• Matt Hasselbeck (90.7%): Solid rapport with Britt and Washington.
• Mike Kakfa (100%): Nice speculative add and possible plug-and-play.

Defense

• Cardinals (98.6%)
• Panthers (45%)
• Dolphins (92.6%)
