Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the weekly waiver deadline. Quarterbacks Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars (at San Diego) Last Week: 14-4, 223 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INT Bortles played only the second half of the Jaguars blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week, but showed an ability to move the offence that Chad Henne did not. Bortles has now been named the starter for the Jaguars and is worth a stash on your fantasy bench as he settles into the role of starting quarterback. The Jaguars will likely be playing from behind in many games this season, meaning Bortles will be given plenty of opportunities to throw the ball. Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins (at New York Giants) Last Week: 30-of-48, 427 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT Cousins, who was on the Waiver Wire last week, followed up his strong Week 2 performance against the Jaguars with a dominant Week 3 performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. Having proved to be more than a one-week-wonder, Cousins needs to picked up a played as mid-range QB1 in a favourable matchup against the Giants in Week 4. Cousins remains available in the majority of fantasy leagues. Running Backs Lorenzo Taliaferro, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Panthers) Last Week: 18 carries, 91 yards, 1 TD Taliaferro took over as the Ravens lead back in the absence of Bernard Pierce in Week 3. The rookie out-touched Pierces backup Justin Forsett 18-to-11, while scoring the lone rushing touchdown for the Ravens. Taliaferro is worth picking up, but could struggle to get touches once Pierce returns, which could be as soon as Week 4. Taliaferro had no touches through the first two weeks of the season. The Ravens face the Carolina Panthers this week, who allowed 264 rushing yards in Week 4. Donald Brown, San Diego Chargers (vs. Jacksonville) Last Week: 31 carries, 62 yards, 5 receptions, 27 yards Brown received a career-high 31 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. He struggled with just 2.0 yards per carry, but should continue to see plenty of attempts with starter Ryan Matthews injured and fellow back Danny Woodhead on injured reserve. Brown will likely make more of his carries in Week 4 against the Jaguars. Alfred Blue, Houston Texans (vs. Buffalo) Last Week: 13 carries, 78 yards, 1 reception, 10 yards Playing in place of Arian Foster, Blue was the clear lead back for the Texans against the New York Giants. Though he will likely return to his backup role in Week 4 as Foster returns, Blue is worth keeping on your bench in case Foster is re-injured. The Texans also plan to lower Fosters touches after a combined 55 carries through the first two weeks. Matt Asiata, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Falcons) Last Week: 12 carries, 35 yards, 3 receptions, 36 yards Asiata has established himself as the Vikings starter as long Adrian Peterson remains away from the team and could see a further spike in carries with starting quarterback Matt Cassel sidelined. Asiata should be on the FLEX radar in Week 4, as the Vikings play a Falcons defence that has struggled against the run this season. Wide Receivers Jordan Matthews, Philadelphia Eagles (at San Francisco) Last Week: 8 receptions, 59 yards, 2 TDs Matthews eight catches against the Redskins stand out as he tied Jeremy Maclin for the team-high. The six-foot-three rookie appears to have moved ahead of Riley Cooper on Nick Foles target list and will likely continue to receive red-zone targets in the Eagles explosive offence. Matthews is a WR3/FLEX option heading into Week 4 against the 49ers, but has WR2 upside. John Brown, Arizona Cardinals (Bye) Last Week: 4 receptions, 52 yards, 1 TD Brown has three touchdown catches through three weeks this season. He has benefited from working in an offence with Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, whom defences shift their coverages to. The rookie could also see an increase in targets following the Cardinals Week 4 bye. Brown is a WR3/Flex option through three weeks. Cecil Shorts, Jacksonville Jaguars (at San Diego) Last Week: 5 receptions, 35 yards, 1 TD After missing the first two weeks of the season with a hamstring injury, Shorts made his 2014 debut against the Colts. Due to his injury, Shorts is available in the majority of fantasy leagues and could see a production boost with Bortles under centre. Shorts is the Jaguars top and most experienced option receiving option, meaning Bortles could gravitate to him. Tight End Owen Daniels, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Carolina) Last Week: 1 reception, 8 yards With Dennis Pitta finished for the season with a hip injury, Daniels will take over the starting duties for the Ravens at tight end. Daniels likely wont post the same numbers as Pitta would have, but should still receive targets in the Ravens offence. Daniels caught two touchdown passes in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should be considered a TE2 moving forward. Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts (vs. Tennessee) Last Week: 4 receptions, 46 yards, 1 TD Allen and Colby Fleener are both featured heavily in the Colts offence at the tight end positions. Through three weeks, Allen appears to be the safer play despite being held without a reception against the Eagles in Week 2. Allen has eight catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns through three weeks. Colby Fleener could also be worth a pickup after a four receptions for 49 yards in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Allen and Fleener are both boom-or-bust TE2s entering Week 4. Wholesale NFL Jerseys Authentic .

Cheap Jerseys Paypal . -- The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Graham Harrell to the active roster from the practice squad and placed tight end Andrew Quarless on injured reserve.The Rangers take the series lead, again; the Blackhawks blow away the Blues and the Ducks stage a miraculous comeback to oust the Stars. Notes on Couturier, Keith, Seabrook, Miller, Daley, Seguin and more. RANGERS DOUBLE UP FLYERS The New York Rangers got goals from some less likely sources -- including Marc Staal, Dominic Moore and Brian Boyle, into an empty net -- to win Game Five over the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-2, givng the Blueshirts a 3-2 series lead. The other Rangers goal-scorer was Brad Richards, and it came off a goal-mouth scramble that netted J.T. Miller and assist. Miller, the 21-year-old who was a first-round pick in 2011, has 10 points in 56 career games with the Rangers, but had 43 points in 41 AHL games this season and joined a line with Richards and Carl Hagelin. New Yorks line of Derek Stepan, Rick Nash and Martin St. Louis controlled play. Aside from setting up Staals game-opening goal, the trio was on for more than 70% of 5-on-5 shot attempts, mostly against the Flyers line of Sean Couturier, Matt Read and Jason Akeson. Couturier and Read are the Flyers forwards playing the most in this series and Couturier hasnt recorded a single point. Yes, hes a responsible checking centre, but its tough to run a forward out for more than 100 minutes in five games and get no points out of that ice-time investment. Inserted into the Flyers lineup for an injured Nicklas Grossman, Hal Gill had a rough game, involved in two Rangers goals against, and it was a hard situation in which to place a guy who had played two games since Christmas. The series heads back to Philadelphia for Game Six and the Flyers have to find a way to generate better results in a hurry. The Blueshirts hold a possession edge and have the better goaltender. BYE BYE BLUES Tied 1-1 going into the third period of Game Six, the Chicago Blackhawks erupted for four goals to pull away from the St. Louis Blues, finishing off the series. Blackhawks D Duncan Keith led the way offensively, tallying a goal and three assists, and with Keith on the ice, the Blackhawks held a 20-13 (60.6%) edge in shot attempts. With Keith off the ice, the 5-on-5 shot attempts favoured St. Louis 32-16 (66.7%). Keiths defence partner, Brent Seabrook, had a couple of assists in his first game back after serving a three-game suspension, and RW Andrew Shaw added a goal and an assist. Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews was the pace-setter in the series, scoring three goals and seven points, with all of his goals counting as game-winners. Seabrook, who only played in three games due to his suspension, finished the series with six points and Keiths big Game Six gave him seven points for the series as well. For the Blues, there is going to be a lot of reflection because this is a team that expected to last longer than one round in the postseason, but this result shouldnt raise major concerns. They played the Blackhawks very evenly, with four of the six games in the series going to overtime, and had to play two of the games without their No. 1 centre. Considering the late run of injuries that led to the Blues losing six straight to end the regular season, setting up this matchup, its also fair to wonder if the Blues could have fared better with fewer health concerns. The Blues held a >slight possession edge in the series, but got the second-best goaltending results. Chicagos Corey Crawford stopped 201 of 215 shots (.935 SV%) while Blues G Ryan Miller, after getting torched for five goals on 26 shots in the series finale, stopped 166 of 185 (.897 SV%). Could the Blues usee an upgrade or two? Sure, maybe a centre to help Jaden Schwartz and Vladimir Tarasenko, or a premier finisher for the top line that could allow T.ddddddddddddJ. Oshie or Alexander Steen to slide to the second line. In the end, the Blues were a really good team that played well, but not quite well enough to knock off the defending champs, who are legitimate Cup contenders again this year. There is no shame in losing to this Blackhawks team. The Blackhawks will now wait for the winner of the Colorado-Minnesota series and Chicago will be favoured against either one.. FALLING STARS Just when it looked like the Dallas Stars and Anaheim Ducks would be headed back to Anaheim for Game Seven -- with the Stars holding a 4-2 lead late in the third period -- a goal-mouth scramble resulted in coincidental roughing penalties to Dallas Alex Chiasson and Anaheims Andrew Cogliano. 16 seconds later, Nick Bonino tied the game. Then, with 24 seconds left, Devante Smith-Pelly pounced on a loose puck and buried it for the tying goal. 2:47 into overtime, Bonino scored again, giving the Ducks a dramatic 5-4 win in Game Six, allowing the Ducks to escape with a series victory not so long after it appeared that the series was surely going the distance. Bonino and Smith-Pelly each had a pair of goals for Anaheim, while Corey Perry and Teemu Selanne each delivered a pair of assists. Selanne played 14:08 and had five shots on goal, both marking highs for him in a series that saw him made a healthy scratch. That the Ducks won a series in which they yanked starting goaltender Frederik Andersen twice shows just how back-and-forth it was. Andersen was pulled from Game Six after allowing four goals on 12 shots, leaving him with an .892 save percentage in the series; the kind of play that could leave virtually-exiled veteran Jonas Hiller an opportunity to start at some point in Round Two. Hiller stopped all 12 shots he faced after relieving Andersen. The Stars were led in Game Six, and for good portions of the series, by their top defence tandem of Trevor Daley and Alex Goligoski. Daley had two goals and an assist Sunday, while Goligoski added two assists. They combined for nine points in the series and were both on for more than 58% of the 5-on-5 shot attempts when they were on the ice. Stars C Cody Eakin had a goal and an assist in the deciding game, giving him five points for the series; tied with Daley, LW Jamie Benn and C Shawn Horcoff for the team scoring lead. Stars C Tyler Seguin could have used some more reward for what was relatively impressive play. He was on the ice for 61.8% of 5-on-5 shot attempts and had 29 shots on goal in six games, yet mustered one goal and three points. There was a real opportunity for the Stars to take this series, but needed a more decisive advantage in goal, particularly with Andersen running hot and cold. In the Dallas net, Kari Lehtonen stopped 146 of 165 shots (.885%) and, as it turns out, that was only a save or two short of what the Stars needed to push this series to the limit. Even though the Stars won the possession battle, they couldnt slow down Anaheims otherwordly 5-on-5, score close shooting percentage (12.7% in Round One). Now, the Ducks wait for the winner of the Sharks and Kings which will, in either case, present a daunting matchup. But, after the way the Ducks won Game Six, let em celebrate a bit first.
