    \n
  1. Cecil Shorts<\/strong> (JAC, 32% Y).\u00a0 It\u2019s surprising Cecil is only owned in 32% of all leagues, because he has established himself as the #1 WR in Jacksonville.\u00a0 Granted, that\u2019s kind of like being the skinniest kid at fat camp, but hey, it\u2019s something.\u00a0 The Jags always play from behind, and with MJD (and Laruent Robinson) dinged up, look for Blaine Gabbert to throw early and often.\u00a0 He\u2019s averaged 6\/97 over the past two weeks, and we\u2019ll take those numbers any day.\u00a0 He goes against a Detroit secondary that has been atrocious so far this season.\u00a0 If you\u2019re looking for a WR, plug him in with confidence.<\/li>\n
  2. Dennis Pitta <\/strong>(BALT, 34% Y).\u00a0 Pitta started off the year on fire, averaging over 16 pts. the first 3 weeks.\u00a0 He\u2019s cooled off as of late, but remains a good option if you need to fill in a TE this week.\u00a0 Flacco looks for him consistently in the redzone, and Baltimore should spend a lot of time there in Cleveland today.<\/li>\n
  3. Joique Bell<\/strong> (DET, 16% Y).\u00a0 The Machine has no idea how to pronounce his first name, but we do know that (a) Mikel Leshoure is hurting and (b) Bell is a pass-catching RB that stands to see more action today against Jacksonville.\u00a0 He\u2019s a decent flex plug-in or RB2 if you\u2019re desperate.<\/li>\n
  4. Domenik Hixon<\/strong> (NYG, 20% Y).\u00a0 Being the number 3 option on the G-men is like being a #2 WR anywhere else.\u00a0 Eli and co. love to throw the ball, and Eli does a good job spreading the love.\u00a0 Hixon gets his share of looks (especially on 3rd<\/sup> down) and if Pitt tries to shut down Nicks and Cruz, that should open up some lanes for Hixon.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
