idd-Gilchrist, Harkless wont wow you in scoring production, but with 30 minutes per game in an up-tempo scheme, hes helping owners in steals, blocks and 3-point production.James Ennis, Memphis Grizzlies (11.6): Another cheap path to 30 minutes per game, Ennis is a 3-and-D commodity to consider in de

Jacquizz Rodgers continued to dominate in Doug Martins absence, Matt Forte proved his doubters wrong, and Jay Ajayi ran his way into the NFL record books. Fantasy owners have some new names (Russell Shepard) to learn, as well as some old names (Cordarrelle Patterson) to ponder.And, naturally, some poor performances (DeVante Parker, Blake Bortles) that may have droppable consequences.But three injuries to running backs may have the biggest impact going forward.---THE INJURY REPORTThe most significant injury in Week 7 was LeSean McCoys aggravation of his balky hamstring. There was plenty of talk last week about not playing McCoy and letting the injury heal, but he started after some favorable pregame warmups ... and promptly got hurt again. McCoys situation should become clearer as the week goes by, but it wouldnt be surprising if the Bills sit him out for multiple weeks until hes fully healed.Tevin Coleman left the game Sunday against the Chargers with a hamstring injury and didnt return. And Jeremy Hill had a chest injury (which popped up a couple weeks ago) that could turn out to be more serious than initially thought as the week goes by. Devonta Freeman and Gio Bernard owners should keep close eyes on their timeshare counterparts.---AJAYI DAZZLES AGAINWhat Ajayi has done in the last two weeks -- 207 total yards in Week 6 and 216 total yards in Week 7 -- hasnt just been amazing, but also wholly unexpected. The Steelers and Bills run defenses arent bad, so Ajayi wouldnt have been singled out for great games; in fact, the Bills had only allowed one 100-yard rusher (Matt Forte in Week 2) in the first six weeks.Much of Ajayis success can be traced to his offensive line finally reaching full health and strength last week, which has stemmed Ryan Tannehill sack issues (hes been sacked once in the last two games) and allowed Ajayi to find holes and break free. Naturally, a momentum-killing bye is on tap for Week 8, and Ajayi then comes back to games against the Jets and Chargers, who have been fairly effective at stopping the run this season. But does that matter at this point?---MARQISE LEE IS NOW FANTASY RELEVANTJacksonville wideout Marqise Lee caught seven of eight targets for a career-high 107 yards on Sunday, improving upon his six-reception, 61-yard game in Week 7. Lee is averaging 6.8 targets over his last five games and is one of the few bright spots on a Jaguars team in fantasy disarray.The 2012 Biletnikoff award winner, Lee was a 2014 second-round pick of the Jaguars, but has battled injuries for most of his NFL career. His recent performance, though, suggests he has solid rapport with Blake Bortles and is capable of making big plays when healthy. Owned in just two percent of CBSSports.com leagues, Lee should be one of the most-added players in fantasy heading into Week 8.---MISCELLANEOUS- Cordarrelle Pattersons stock is rising. On Sunday, he caught all seven of his targets for 67 yards and a touchdown against the Eagles -- his second straight week with a touchdown. Non-believers will say the score came in garbage time, but Patterson now has six or more targets in three straight games and gets a Week 8 date with the Bears, who have given up 235 or more yards to the oppositions wide receivers in their last three games. With six teams on bye next week, Patterson should warrant flex consideration in deeper point-per-reception formats.- Allen Robinson caught just two passes for nine yards -- off eight targets -- in Sundays loss to the Raiders. Robinson hasnt gone over 72 receiving yards in any game this season and has seen a decrease in receiving yards in each of the last four weeks. Hes in a no mans land of value -- Robinsons owners would be selling him too low, and his buyers would be inheriting serious risk. A buy-low trade offer would be worth exploring for an owner sitting at 4-3 or lower.- Latavius Murray returned from missing two weeks with turf toe to run 18 times for 59 yards and two touchdowns (while catching two passes for four yards). The DeAndre Washington/Jalen Richard rotation seems to be over now, and it looks like Murray may have re-claimed his role as the lead back for the 5-2 Raiders.- The Ravens, Rams, Dolphins, Giants, Steelers, and 49ers are on bye this week. And theres another game in London, meaning a 9:30 a.m. Eastern start on Sunday.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com---This story has been corrected to show that the Raiders are 5-2 on the season.Custom Blazers Jersey China .

With so many games, injuries and endless shifts in rotations throughout the season, we need to source stats from free agency in order to maximize our imaginary rosters.In this weekly series we identify players available as free agents in at least half of ESPN leagues at each position. Some nominations are purely specialists capable of helping in one or two categories, while others deliver more diverse and important statistical offerings. Either way, we believe the names below -- ordered by ownership rate at each position -- can contribute positively to fantasy rosters.Point guardJrue Holiday, New Orleans Pelicans (Owned in 48.0 percent of ESPN leagues): This is our last call for Holiday, a lead guard who tied for 14th in the NBA in usage rate last season and is likely to return to action this month. The Pelicans are eighth in the league in pace with 101 possessions per 48 minutes, adding upside to Holidays already rich production profile upon his return.J.J. Barea, Dallas Mavericks (40.2): Tied with Kyle Lowry among point guards in usage rate this season, Barea is also sixth in the league in drives per game. Already a valuable source of 3-pointers, assists and points, Barea also claims increased value playing behind a brittle starting point guard in Deron Williams.Ish Smith, Detroit Pistons (31.5): Smiths ownership is dwindling as Reggie Jackson nears a return, but this shift appears a bit premature, at least in deeper leagues. With Jackson still a few weeks off, we can expect nearly 30 minutes per game and helpful support in dimes and steals from Smith.Shooting guardJustise Winslow, Miami Heat (44.5): With multiple steals in four of his past six games -- as of Sunday -- Winslow can help in a scarce category. It also helps to consider that the Heat wing is averaging 36 minutes per game, tied for 11th in the league.Tyler Johnson, Miami Heat (41.8): We prefer Johnson to his teammate Winslow, as he provides more scoring and production from beyond the arc in addition to an uptick in assist output with Goran Dragic currently ailing.Sean Kilpatrick, Brooklyn Nets (31.9): A weekly inclusion in our waiver series, Kilpatrick has lofted double-digit field goal attempts in all but three games this season. Afforded rare freedom to shoot from the arc for the Nets, a team that ranks second in the NBA in pace, Kilpatrick merits more attention from fantasy investors.Thabo Sefolosha, Atlanta Hawks (10.5): The rare defensive specialist, Sefolosha is second in the league in steals per game. Steals are an entirely difficult stat to accumulate for fantasy rosters built around frontcourt assets, so adding this larcenous guard can help balance out the bench in these scenarios.Josh Richardson, Miami Heat (3.9): Were nominating three shooting guards from the same team as worthy waiver options, mostly because the void left by Dwyane Wade has left a good deal of opportunitty for these players to consume.dddddddddddd Richardsons ownership is deflated thanks to an injury that saw him sidelined in the early weeks, but now that hes back to playing steady minutes, he can help in assists -- hes assuming starting point guard duties with Dragic ailing -- and 3-point production.Small forwardMichael Kidd-Gilchrist, Charlotte Hornets (43.7): We need to look past Kidd-Gilchrists meager scoring output and instead focus on the fact hes averaging 1.3 blocks and 1.6 steals in addition to eight boards. Such helpful defensive metrics allows us to then take on more hollow scoring commodities to balance out production.C.J. Miles, Indiana Pacers (33.9): An efficient rate of .489 points per touch rates second behind only DeMar DeRozan in this efficiency metric among players averaging at least 15 minutes this season. Afforded the starting spot over Monta Ellis this past weekend at shooting guard, there could be a telling shift underway with Miles earning increased exposure and trust from the coaching staff.Maurice Harkless, Portland Trail Blazers (17.6): Similar to Kidd-Gilchrist, Harkless wont wow you in scoring production, but with 30 minutes per game in an up-tempo scheme, hes helping owners in steals, blocks and 3-point production.James Ennis, Memphis Grizzlies (11.6): Another cheap path to 30 minutes per game, Ennis is a 3-and-D commodity to consider in deeper formats.Power forwardTrevor Booker, Brooklyn Nets (42.1): With Brook Lopez again struggling on the glass and not playing every game, the Nets rely on Bookers rebounding and defense in the frontcourt. A steady double-double threat thanks to the Nets amazing pace, Booker also ranks seventh in the league in steals per game.Robert Covington, Philadelphia 76ers (25.3): The shooting percentages are atrocious, but its quite rare to find a player averaging at least two steals and 3-pointers per game. If your league doesnt count shooting percentages, Covington can provide positive production.Cody Zeller, Charlotte Hornets (16.2): Averaging nearly 25 minutes in November and regularly starting ahead of Roy Hibbert lately, Zeller provides useful block production at a scarce position.CenterTyson Chandler, Phoenix Suns (46.9): Once Chandler returns to action for the Suns (he is currently away due to a family matter), he can continue dominating on the glass, as the steady vet is third in the league in rebounds per game and fourth in rebounding chances per game.Clint Capela, Houston Rockets (33.1): As the key rim protector for the Rockets, Capela provides strong block metrics and worthy rebounding and steal rates.Kelly Olynyk, Boston Celtics (5.1): Considerably underappreciated by the fantasy market, this stretch big is averaging 17.5 points over his past two games and is a strong complementary scorer to Al Horford in the frontcourt.
