I expect very solid numbers from Harper this week

Playoff Considerations - This section is devoted to what you need to be thinking about with the playoffs coming up 6. IDP Injury Considerations - This section is devoted to who's out and who you should get as a replacement. Hope you enjoy and please keep in mind that for the purposes of this article, I am excluding the top 20 linebackers, top 15 defensive backs and top 10 defensive linemen as I'm assuming that they are already on someone's team. Bye-Week Fillers (Good for This Week) Thus far this year, if you take out the bye-week recommendations that were benched after my original Wednesday posting (3 players) and players that were injured in the first half and didn't return (2 players), here are my averages for each position so far: Using My Preferred IDP Scoring System SoloAssistsSackIntFFPDTD2144326 Avg. Cliff Avril (Detroit Lions - DE) - The last time Avril played Green Bay, he put up his best numbers of the year with six solo tackles, one assist, and one sack.Though he's been relatively quiet lately, I think he gets a little kick this week and becomes productive again 2. Shaun Ellis (New York Jets - DE) - Carolina comes to town and they love helping DEs pad stats.Since Ellis is the best on the Jets at that position in my opinion,I believe he will be the primary beneficiary this week LB 1.

Jerod Mayo (New England Patriots - ILB) - Through 11 weeks, there is no better team for an ILB to play than the New Orleans Saints.Mayo should turn an alright season into a very nice day this week and it should be close to this year's best for him 2. Andra Davis (Denver Broncos - ILB) - The New York Giants are second to only the Saints in awarding ILBs points this year.Over the last two games, Davis has been productive and should continue this trend 3. DeMeco Ryans (Houston Texans - MLB) - If you have Ryans on your team and are afraid to use him because of his up and down season, thus far, this is the week you must put him in.The Colts have been good to him over his career and this week should be no different DB 1. Bryan Scott (Buffalo Bills - DB/LB) - The match-up is only alright this week, but you have to ride this wave until it stops.If you have him, he's a must play every week until he proves otherwise 2. Darcel McBath (Denver Broncos - FS) - With Brian Dawkins out because of injury this week and the pass-happy New York Giants coming to town, the stage is set for McBath to have one of those monster games that "comes out of nowhere." 3. Nick Harper (Tennessee Titans - CB) - Harper seems to have his best statistical games when he plays a team with a big name receiver.In comes Arizona who has two of them.I expect very solid numbers from Harper this week.

Go and Get 'Em (Worth Considering Over the Long Term) DL Previous Recommendations I Still Like: John Abraham/Chris Kelsay Best Match-Up, Andre Carter, Elvis Dumervil, James Hall, Anthony Hargrove, Robaire Smith, Jason Taylor, "Stylez G" White, Jimmy Wilkerson This Week: 1. David Bowens (Cleveland Browns - LB/DE) - If Bowens is eligible to be a DL in your league, you need to jump on this one right now.Over the last two weeks, Bowens is averaging six solo tackles, two assists, two sacks and has a forced fumble.Couple that with a very good fantasy playoff schedule and he could be very good the rest of the way for you. Michael Boley (New York Giants - OLB) - Though the remainder of his schedule this year is rather tough, you still need to consider picking him up for the rest of the way.Over the last two games, he's averaging nine solo tackles, one assist, has one sack, and has one pass deflection.To make things even better, Antonio Pierce looks like he's going to be out for awhile, so he has no one to really compete with him for tackles 2. Channing Crowder (Miami Dolphins - ILB) - Over the past two weeks, Crowder is averaging seven solo tackles and has one sack.Though this week should be another slow for him, weeks 13 - 16 should be very good with him playing New England, Jacksonville, Tennessee and Houston.
