There were some unusual heroes on Sunday. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
John Skelton, QB, Arizona Cardinals:  Skelton threw for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. He added 25 rushing yards. He seems to help Larry Fitzgerald’s value, but he’s not a guy I’d count on in Week 15.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Joe Webb, QB, Minnesota Vikings:  Webb threw for 84 yards and a score and added 109 rushing yards and another score. As impressive as he was, Ponder is still considered the starter.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Marion Barber, RB, Chicago Bears:  My assumption is most people snatched him up, but if not his 140 total yards (108 rushing) and touchdown should have done the trick.
Ruling:  Get ‘em.
.

Ryan Grant, RB, Green Bay Packers:  Grant ran for 85 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a pass for 13 yards. With Starks banged up, Grant is a nice RB option.
Ruling:  Get ‘em.
.
Felix Jones, RB, Dallas Cowboys:  With DeMarco Murray getting injured, it’s Felix’s turn again. He has injury issues of his own and the team seems content letting Romo throw all the TDs, but he should be added nonetheless.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
T.J. Yates, QB, Houston Texans:  Yates threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns with a pick. He added 36 yards on five carries. What’s even more impressive is he did it without Andre Johnson. While his job is secure, I couldn’t count on him at this point in the fantasy playoffs.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Donte’ Stallworth, WR, Washington Redskins:  Stallworth caught four passes (six targets) for 96 yards. It was against the Patriots’ secondary though so be careful to put to much stock in the performance.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Demaryius Thomas, WR, Denver Broncos:  Thomas did it again. Seven catches (13 targets) for 78 yards and a score. I suppose he should be owned, but you likely have to wait until the fourth quarter to get your points.
Ruling:  Get ‘em.
.
Titus Young, WR, Detroit Lions:  Young caught four passes (seven targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings have a brutal secondary, plus Stafford seems to pick a new target every week.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Kevin Boss, TE, Oakland Raiders:  Boss caught five passes (seven targets) for 43 yards and a touchdown. He had two catches for 16 yards combined in his previous two games. Not worth the risk.
Ruling:  Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Owen Daniels, TE, Houston Texans:  Daniels caught seven passes (ten targets). Yates has confidence in him, and he makes a solid TE1 as the year closes.
Ruling:  Get ‘em.

Putting the final piece of your fantasy football puzzle together

I’ve uncovered some guys you can plug in if you are dealing with an injury or tough match-ups.

Jason Campbell, QB, Washington Redskins
Campbell has played relatively well the past three weeks 273.3 yards and 2.3 TDs. He faces a reeling Giants team that ranks 26th with 23 passing TDs allowed. Fred Davis, who has four TDs during that three-game stretch, should be able to exploit the G-Men over the middle.

Brady Quinn, QB, Cleveland Browns
Quinn has alternated stinkers with impressive performances. If the pattern stays true, he’s up for a big one. I wouldn’t put too much stock in that pattern, but will factor in his opponent. He faces Kansas City who is 24th in the league in pass yards and passing TDs allowed.

Quinton Ganther, RB, Washington Redskins
Ganther played well last week as the lead back against Oakland. He’ll have a stiffer test this week against the Giants. They don’t give up a lot of rushing yards, but are tied for 29th with 17 rushing TDs allowed. He’s not a bad play if you’re in a bind.

Arian Foster, RB, Houston Texans
It appears that it’s Foster’s turn on the Texans RB merry-go-round. He’s got a great week to show his stuff as they face St. Louis, who ranks 27th in rushing yards allowed (147.2) and 31st in rushing TDs allowed.
