There are only two teams on byes this week Bobby Hebert Jersey Salute to Service , but both the Lions and Saints have significant starters to replace at a few key positions.In addition, some notable injuries make the race to the waiver wire as frenetic as usual. The free agent pool doesn't have many appealing options this week, though, so if you need to fill a major need, try first to make a trade.RUNNING BACKSMIKE DAVIS, Seattle (14.5 percent owned): We have alerted you to him before, yet he remains vastly underowned. Davis does split carries with Chris Carson but his running mate is oft-injured and Davis seems to be the preferred goal line option for the Seahawks. He has three rushing TDs in his past two games. Seattle has a renewed emphasis on the running game so Davis should be rostered even as a part-time RB.WENDELL SMALLWOOD, Philadelphia (7.7): The Philadelphia RBs have been beset by injuries, most importantly to Jay Ajayi, who is done for the season with a knee injury. Smallwood could play an expanded role for the Eagles as soon as Thursday against the Giants. Smallwood carried 10 times for 56 yards and a TD and caught three passes for 35 yards when he was last asked to step forward for Ajayi in Week 3.RONALD JONES, Tampa Bay (18.2): Get ahead of the pack on this one. The Buccaneers have the worst rushing offense in the league and while the rookie has dealt with blitz pickup and receiving issues Morten Andersen Jersey , he can still be dynamic with the ball in his hands. The Buccaneers desperately need to establish some sort of a running game to take pressure off Jameis Winston and keep their highly vulnerable defense off the field a little more.WIDE RECEIVERSCHRISTIAN KIRK, Arizona (11.4): The Cardinals rookie has registered double-digit fantasy performances in point per reception leagues in two of his past three games. Last week, he caught a 75-yard TD from Josh Rosen. The rookie QB has been erratic so far but despite some issues at that position, Kirk is starting to emerge as the team's top receiving playmaker, which has been needed with Larry Fitzgerald underperforming and battling some injuries.TRE'QUAN SMITH, New Orleans (1.0): Another rookie, Smith officially announced his pro arrival with three receptions for 111 yards and two scores on Monday night. Drew Brees does spread the ball around to many of his targets when everyone is healthy, but the Saints have been high on Smith ever since he arrived at training camp. He could force is way into the mix more and may not be just a big-play artist.MARQUES VALDES-SCANTLING, Green Bay (3.2); Yes, another first-year player worth adding. Valdes-Scantling stepped into a void for an injury-depleted Packers WR crew and caught seven passes for 68 yards and a TD, and came up just short on a second potential score. Availability at WR may continue to be an issue for some top Green Bay pass-catchers Authentic Sam Mills Jersey , and Valdes-Scantling may contribute at least as the Packers third WR in the near future, which will make him worthy of bye week filler consideration at minimum.TIGHT ENDSCAMERON BRATE, Tampa Bay (16.7): Winston is back at QB for the Buccaneers, and O.J. Howard is out, so that means opportunities for Brate to cash in at least in the near future. He has scored in each of his last two games and in the previous two seasons, he caught a total of 14 TD passes working heavily with Winston. The Tampa Bay offense will be involved in a lot of shootouts and Brate is a prime red zone target for Winston.C.J. UZOMAH, Cincinnati (10.2): With Tyler Eifert out, Uzomah has been announced as the preferred TE of choice for Andy Dalton and the Bengals. Last week he caught two passes for 43 yards, but better times are ahead. The Bengals offense looks potent and balanced and Dalton will always strongly consider throwing to his tight end in scoring situations.QUARTERBACKSC.J. BEATHARD, San Francisco (3.1): He takes sacks and commits turnovers, and you will not start him in a one QB league Limited Rickey Jackson Jersey , but Beathard is proving to be a capable fantasy backup because the 49ers will be playing from behind very frequently. You have to consider him as a streamer, because in his past two games, he has thrown for 647 yards and four touchdowns.JAMEIS WINSTON, Tampa Bay (12.7): He may not win a lot of games but Winston has weapons in the passing game, a lack of run support and a bad defense that will force him to trade blows with opposing offenses quite often. There is going to be a lot of passing volume for Winston, and the high-scoring fun begins this week against the Falcons.Top 10 Most Important New Orleans Saints in 2017: 1-5 With eyes pointing ahead to the 2018 regular season, we’re going to go over the Top 10 Most Important New Orleans Saints for the upcoming season. To view Part 1, click here. Without further adieu, here are 6-10:Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images5. CB Marshon LattimoreThe 2018 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year looks to be a future lockdown corner for a long time in the NFL. With Lattimore’s ability to shut down an opposing team’s #1 WR, it allows the Saints to only worry about the other team’s second and third receiving options. If Lattimore were to get hurt, it could force someone like De’Vante Harris back into the starting lineup for the Saints defense - and we know what happens when Harris takes the field.Photo by Stephen Maturen/Getty Images4. WR Michael ThomasYou’ll see that the recurring theme with the “most important” players on the Saints is depth. If Lattimore were to get hurt Willie Roaf Jersey Salute to Service , Ken Crawley and Patrick Robison see more time, but that pushes a backup (De’Vante Harris, PJ Williams, etc) into the rotation. If Michael Thomas were to miss time, 33 year old Ted Ginn Jr. becomes more important in the Saints offense. Brandon Coleman would have to finally take advantage of all of this natural ability. And, most importantly, Cameron Meredith would have to be fully healthy in order to step up in Thomas’s absence. Beyond Michael Thomas are a lot of question marks.Photo by Jonathan Bachman/Getty Images3. DE Cameron JordanThe whole reason the Saints mortgaged part of the future in trading away next year’s first round pick to draft Marcus Davenport was to provide help for Cameron Jordan. The Saints have not had a quality edge rusher opposite Cam since belt-wielder-who-shall-not-be-named. That has allowed opposing offensive lines to focus on Jordan and double-team him on the line or add chip blocks with Tight Ends or Running Backs. Jordan was finally able to make his first Pro Bowl in 2017 in spite of a lack of consistent help on the defensive line, and has been Mr. Reliable for the Saints, playing in all 16 games in each of his 7 seasons in New Orleans. If he were to finally succumb to an injury, the Saints defensive line could be in trouble.Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images2. RB Alvin KamaraWith Mark Ingram suspended for the first four games of 2018, the Running Back options behind Kamara leave a lot to be desired. Even with the addition of Terrance West (who is far from guaranteed to make the team Drew Brees Jersey , in spite of his new contract), Kamara is the only known commodity in the backfield for New Orleans. the 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year is the #1 rushing option in New Orleans in 2018, but is also the #2 receiving option behind Michael Thomas. If Kamara were to go down to injury, the entire offense would struggle.Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images1.QB Drew BreesIf Kamara were to go down, the Saints offense would struggle. If Drew Brees were to miss time, the Saints offense would be non-existent. Make no mistake about it: the presence of Kamara and Ingram does not make this a run-first team. This team will still live and die on the golden arm of Drew Brees. Brees is a future Hall of Famer, arguably one of the Top 5 greatest Quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Taysom Hill? Tom Savage? JT Barrett? Don’t make me laugh.***So, there you have it. That’s the full list of the Top 10 Most Important Saints for 2018. Do you disagree? What would your top 10 be?
