As the season wears on, it gets more difficult to get help, certainly anything like what Laveranues Coles did on Sunday. (Whom, would you believe, I picked up on the wires in one league last week?) Here are some picks from a scarce crop this week, and for some players it may be time to let go.
PICKUPS
Kyle Orton
QB, Bears
Only if you’re not penalized for turnovers. Still, he looked pretty comfortable at times against a fierce pass rush on Sunday night.
Steve Breaston
WR, Cardinals
I especially like him (9 catches, 122 yards) because Arizona may handle Anquan Boldin’s head injury gingerly.
LETDOWNS
Willis McGahee
RB, Ravens
Just can’t ever stay on the field. Ever. Believe me I know.
Thomas Jones
RB, Jets
All that offense and he was a non-entity.
