| Can Matt Leinart save your fantasy season? |
Wow what a difference a week makes on the free agent front. With so many injuries to starting caliber players it opens the door for their backup to make a difference on the field and in your fantasy lineups. The injuries have ranged from Jay Cutler, and Matt Schaub being virtually out for the year to Adrian Peterson and Fred Jackson to being possible game time decisions. This is where a season could be made or broken. Stay on top of it readers!!!
Matt Leinart- With Schaub certainly out for the rest of the fantasy football season Leinart is a hot commodity for not only Schaub owners but for teams that are thin at the QB position. Leinart never really panned out in the desert but he was able to get the ball to Boldin and Fitzgerald.

Caleb Hanie- With Cutler also out for at least 6 weeks the Bears will initially turn to Hanie. With no starts under his belt we are unsure if he will produce anything of substance.
Worth an add for Cutler owners who are thin at their backup position
Kyle Orton- With Orton just released from the Broncos word out of Chicago is that the Bears are putting in a claim for their former signal caller. This news is an intriguing development. If you are a Cutler owner we feel like Orton is the guy to get. While Hanie probably gets a start or two while Orton learns the offense we don't feel like he will be the guy long term.
The real guy to add for Cutler owners
Matt Moore- It seems like a late season surge on quarterback is going down. This can't be the same Matt Moore that lead the Carolina Panthers to the top overall pick last year is it? Well Moore had another great Sunday and you could really do worse as an emergency QB.
Worth an add in larger leagues
Kevin Smith- Say hello to the hottest add in Fantasy Football this week. From civilian cloths to absolutely EXPLODING last week Smith is sure to get a bunch of carries until he proves it was a fluke. We don't believe he will continue to put up numbers like last week but certainly is someone we would add to our roster.

Toby Gerhart- Well AP says that he is playing this week but is he really going to be able to with a high ankle sprain? We doubt it. Add Gerhart if you are an AP owner or need a one week play at running back.
Add for AP owners
CJ Spiller- Fred Jackson sustained a calf injury in the second half of last weeks game and did not return. While we feel that Jackson's injury is less severe and he probably has a better chance to play than Peterson you may want to take precautions just in case. Spiller has been a complete bust thus far in his career but has the ability to bust a long run at any time.
Worth a look for Jackson owners
Joe McKnight- With another injury to a top RB in Shonne Greene McKnight came and produced over 120 yards from scrimmage. With Greene still banged up this week we advocate adding McKnight if you have a need at running back.
Worth and add for Greene owners
