FANTASY FOOTBALL-MORE WEEK 13 PRE-GAME-TIGHT END HELP



Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe is questionable for tonight's game against Arizona with a lingering rib injury. He is expected to play and I am leaving him active in the two leagues I am in.
But if you don't want to risk Shiancoe being a last-minute inactive, one player to consider is Tennessee tight end Bo Scaife who plays at 1 p.m. today against Indianapolis.
Scaife has struggled but in recent weeks with Vince Young at quarterback his stats have improved.
Wide receiver Justin Gage is still limited with a back injury and that will continue to help Scaife get more balls thrown to him.
With Tennessee needing to keep pace with the Colts' offense today, I see Scaife scoring his first touchdown of the season. He should catch 5-8 balls for 60-80 yards or more.

FANTASY FOOTBALL: WEEK 13 PRE-GAME PLANNER-DWILLIAMS/TURNER OUT



By now you have probably heard that Carolina back DeAngelo Williams and Atlanta back Michael Turner are out. If you don't have their backups - Carolina's Jonathan Stewart or Atlanta's Jerious Norwood - there is last minute hope.
Cleveland's offense has been horrendous, but with back Jamal Lewis on IR now Jerome Harrison is the starter. This is a guy who can run but he can also catch balls too. In his only start this season in Week 4 against a tough Cincinnati defense, Harrison had 121 yards rushing and made five catches for 31 yards. Not bad and Harrison is still available in most waiver wires.
