\"Son<\/a>

Son of a bitch.<\/p><\/div>\n

Odell Beckham, Jr., WR, Giants (49%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We told you to pick up ODB, like sooo two weeks ago<\/a>, when he was only owned in 6% of leagues.\u00a0 It made sense then, and now, with Victor Cruz out for the year, it makes a shitload of sense.\u00a0 Beckham, Jr., despite having a Plaxico Burress-like practice schedule, has quickly established rapport for Eli Manning. \u00a0He fits perfectly in the G-Men\u2019s quick passing attack, and has a great matchup against Dallas this week.\u00a0 Odell\u2019s a WR2 from here on out.<\/p>\n

Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver (56%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ronnie\u2019s likely been picked up already, but if you\u2019re in one of the 44% of leagues where he\u2019s still available, he is a must grab (also, send us an invite to join that league).\u00a0 With Montee Ball hurt, plus generally being a non-factor when healthy, the job is Ronnie\u2019s for the taking.\u00a0 Even though it seems like Denver has a stable of running backs, Hillman got the bulk of the carries last week, and ened with 24 touches for 100 yards.<\/p>\n

Blake Bortles, QB, Jacksonville (11%)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We think Blake\u2019s a Top 10 QB this week, and would start him over the likes of Kaepernick, Roethlisberger, Flacco, and Romo.\u00a0 It\u2019s all about the matchups baby, and Blake\u2019s got a good one at home against Cleveland.\u00a0 Last week, on the road against the Titans, Blake notched his first 300 yard game, completing 32 of 46 (yes, 46) pass attempts, for an impressive 336\/1 stat line (and 1 int).\u00a0 The Jags aren\u2019t afraid to throw the ball, and he has a young core of surprisingly good receivers.\u00a0 Plus, his girlfriend\u2019s super hot.\u00a0 That\u2019s worth something, right?<\/p>\n
