Week 9 plays of desperation, name your sleepers (1 Viewer)

In many 12+ team leagues many of us are looking deep to find help this week, name your sleepers.

S. Rice - Wade could be out and Williamson has missed the last 2 practices, SD #6 vs run and #27 vs pass, up and down rookie due for a up week.

Dayne or Eche - Green could be out again and Oak weak against the run, I would like to see Eche get the start as Dayne has not shined in this spot other weeks with a good matchup.

DJ Hackett - Back in action and healthy, Sea vs Browns should throwing all day and he could be the go to guy.

I like the idea of Brad Smith or McCareins, but which one goes off?Also rookie L. Robinson like S. Rice is due but with White as the go to guy, not sure Joey has enough balls (pun intended) for both.
 
How is Patrick Crayton a sleeper? There are a lot of guys that play him every week or consider playing him every week.

Sleepers this week I like:

-Brad Smith - young guy, plays on back-up squad with Clemons, Coles will be out

-JP Losman - does anyone remember 06? This guy is playin the Bengals this week

-Tony Scheffler - Has quietly become Cutler's favorite red zone target. He plays the Lions.

-Chris Henry - Addai tore up the Panthers last week. Henry is bound to get some off-setting carries from Lendale. Henry is hungry to keep getting his name out there.

-Brandon Jackson - McCarthy said he will be getting some considerable playing time this week, and will see a lot of third downs because of his receiving abilities. In the 3 games he started, he had 11 catches, and had one catch over 15 yards in each game.

 
Too add to the Brandon Jackson mention...

if Grant fumbles twice in a game, or in an important drive (like he did in Minnesota) Jackson will get another shot.

 
A couple I'd consider if very desperate...

WR - Brad Smith (already said above)

WR - Troy Williamson. Just a feeling he breaks a nice one this week.

WR - Glenn Martinez. No action last few weeks against great defenses, but only 2 weeks removed from a 6/60 performance. It's Detroit this week.

WR - Maurice Stovall. Hilliard banged up a bit, could see some action. Caught all 5 targets last week, scored 2 weeks ago.

TE - Robert Royal. Cincinatti is in the top 5 in points allowed to TE's. Losman made him a somewhat legit fantasy TE at times last season. Stranger things have happened.

I think many seem too quick to write off B. Jackson, he was not the only problem when they could not run the ball early in the year.
 
I called for Parrish last week, and he didn't hit, but I like him again this week as a sleeper.

I don't think it's time for Robinson yet, might want to give him another few weeks.

What's improved for McCareins? Is this reflecting the work he's gotten in with Clemens?I picked him up for value in the subscription contest and gotten nothing out of him ytd. ETA: I see Coles has a concussion and may be out...
