Which Young Players get a chance down the stretch (1 Viewer)

Off the top of my head

Michael Turner - may get a chance to get a good set of carries if the Chargers can lock up a playoff spot early. However being in the same division as Denver they may need LT up untill that last game

LenDale White - at what point does the coaching staff decide that they need to see LenDale carry the load to evaulate what they have at RB going forward

Cedric Houston - Leon Washington is where all the buzz is right now but Houston was playing well before his injury - jets will be in the same position as the Titans however it looks like there may be too many RB's on the jets for any of them to have value

Cedric Benson - if the Bears keep rolling they will lock up a playoff spot early - would make sense to get Benson some playing time. Benson is supposed to be a stud and I have to admin that in limited duty he has looked better than Thomas Jones

Santonio Holmes/Nate Washington - both look like playmakers, Pittsburgh is stuggling and it looks like only a matter of time before either of these guys replace Ced Wilson at the #2

Jay Cutler - if Plummer doesn't get it done vs Indy and Pittsburgh we all know Cutler gets his chance

Jason Campbell - at what point do the skins look towards the future ??

Thoughts ??

Any players we can add to this list ??

Theres no chance of that
LenDale White - at what point does the coaching staff decide that they need to see LenDale carry the load to evaulate what they have at RB going forward
Just dropped in my league. I think there is a great chance of this and soon.
Cedric Houston - Leon Washington is where all the buzz is right now but Houston was playing well before his injury - jets will be in the same position as the Titans however it looks like there may be too many RB's on the jets for any of them to have value
Leon is the young guy theyre gonna wanna look at
Cedric Benson - if the Bears keep rolling they will lock up a playoff spot early - would make sense to get Benson some playing time. Benson is supposed to be a stud and I have to admin that in limited duty he has looked better than Thomas Jones
I think this is a RBBC from here on out with Jones getting most of the work
Santonio Holmes/Nate Washington - both look like playmakers, Pittsburgh is stuggling and it looks like only a matter of time before either of these guys replace Ced Wilson at the #2
I think this already happened. Not sure which one is #2 though
Jay Cutler - if Plummer doesn't get it done vs Indy and Pittsburgh we all know Cutler gets his chance
Denver has no chance to win the SB with Cutler. They have a little chance with Plummer. Next year
Jason Campbell - at what point do the skins look towards the future ??
As soon as they think theyre out of it. I think a few weeks away.
 
Wow, nice post and nice reply.

Michael Turner - may get a chance to get a good set of carries if the Chargers can lock up a playoff spot early. However being in the same division as Denver they may need LT up untill that last gameTheres no chance of that
Agreed. Only value is as an LT handcuff.
LenDale White - at what point does the coaching staff decide that they need to see LenDale carry the load to evaulate what they have at RB going forwardJust dropped in my league. I think there is a great chance of this and soon.
Agreed again. Although I still don't see his value being much. EVERY starting RB has some value, but I think he'd struggle more than the experienced/determined Travis Henry right now.
Cedric Houston - Leon Washington is where all the buzz is right now but Houston was playing well before his injury - jets will be in the same position as the Titans however it looks like there may be too many RB's on the jets for any of them to have valueLeon is the young guy theyre gonna wanna look at
Agreed. Nothing to add.
Cedric Benson - if the Bears keep rolling they will lock up a playoff spot early - would make sense to get Benson some playing time. Benson is supposed to be a stud and I have to admin that in limited duty he has looked better than Thomas JonesI think this is a RBBC from here on out with Jones getting most of the work
I agree, but think the likelihood of Benson being the 'starter' at some point are quite possible.
Santonio Holmes/Nate Washington - both look like playmakers, Pittsburgh is stuggling and it looks like only a matter of time before either of these guys replace Ced Wilson at the #2I think this already happened. Not sure which one is #2 though
Agree yet again, but neither having more than marginal fantasy value. I don't know if Pitt's had 2 successful fantasy football WR's in the same year....well, ever. Neither one of these two are as good as Plax was a few years ago (& he was perenially disappointing).
Jay Cutler - if Plummer doesn't get it done vs Indy and Pittsburgh we all know Cutler gets his chanceDenver has no chance to win the SB with Cutler. They have a little chance with Plummer. Next year
No less of a chance than w/ Plummer? Why? They're HORRIBLE w/ Plummer. Granted they don't turn it over much, but hey have so much talent, that I can't see Cutler doing any worse. Plus, reputable sources like Chris Mortensen have noted that they expect it to Cutler to begin getting some meaningful time.
Jason Campbell - at what point do the skins look towards the future ??As soon as they think theyre out of it. I think a few weeks away.
Looks like it just happened. "Leg injury". Let the speculation begin on Campbell's productivity.
 
I'll add Addai getting even more work at the end of the year if the Colts are locking it up early again.

Brandon Marshall with the Broncos should get more work at WR3 if Plummer ever gets it together.

 
I cant believe I forgot to ad Bernard Berrian. He has an easy schedule going forward. Has a great chance to really move up the rankings.

 
jerome harrison....... droughns isn't the answer....
I'll second that.
Fellow Harrison owner here.Unfortunately, especially after last week, I have a feeling they will ride Droughns to the end of the season and beyond. I was optimistic at first about having Harrison...now I'm trying to get rid of him and I don't have any takers in a 32 team dynasty. Not even the Droughns owner is interested.

Not sure why you feel this way. Addai is clearly the #1 RB there and the RB that they want to have at full health for their big playoff games. And since rookies generally have a tough time adjusting to the longer NFL schedule and since Addai isn't the biggest guy in the world, I could easily see them limiting his carries down the stretch to keep him prepared for the playoffs.

Another Harrison Dynasty owner. He was placed inactive for the Jets. Are the coaches down on him or something?
 
Chris Henry.

Probably doesn't fit the scenario of a team wanting to evaluate what they've got in terms of future contributions, as I'm guessing Cincinnati already knows this kid can play.

If he can stay out of trouble...I think he's going to be a nice addition to a lot of rosters.
