Surprises.
Ladell Betts, RB, Redskins – Outstanding performance last game coming off the bench. He’s a must start as a flex back if your league has them.
Owen Daniels, TE, Texans – Scored a TD in each of his last 2 games. Is looking like a go-to red zone pass catcher.
Marques Colston, WR/TE, Saints – 7 catches 97 yards against the Falcons - 15 catches for 204 yards and 2 TDs through the first three games; starting the last two. Colston is a must start as a third WR and could still be had on the waiver in some leagues.
