Each week of the NFL season we sift through the deeper options at each position with an eye on identifying streaming fantasy commodities with valuable matchups to consider. If youve made the playoffs but find yourself short a starter, well provide lower-owned options to consider picking up and plugging into your lineup.Running backKenneth Dixon, Baltimore RavensThe takeover of the Ravens running game hasnt exactly materialized for Dixon, as Terrance West continues to consume meaningful and rewarding touches for Baltimore. That said, Dixon has produced at least 72 yards from scrimmage in three of four games and is proving elusive in open space on film. With an uptick in rushing production in five straight weeks and complementary yardage in the passing game, Dixon can prove helpful for those seeking a high-floor flex. As road underdogs in a game with a respectable point total, per the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Ravens game script could trend pass-happy, a reality that could bolster this gifted receivers fantasy numbers -- Dixon led all draft-eligible backs in yards per route run last season.In that same game, I can envision some upside for the New England Patriots Dion Lewis, as the Pitt product looks shifty and speedy again on film and is an upside play for those chasing big-play production.Matt Asiata, Minnesota VikingsThe ceiling is clearly compromised, but we are here for his floor, as Asiata has produced at least seven fantasy points in seven of nine games in ESPN standard scoring since the start of Week 4. Its all about meaningful goal-to-go work for Asiata, and with the Vikings favored on the road and listed as the second-highest win probability of all road teams this week, per FiveThirtyEight, its possible we see Asiata earn another seven-point special.Wide receiverBrandon LaFell, Cincinnati BengalsTied with Tyler Boyd since the start of Week 11 with 21.1 percent of the teams targets over this sample, LaFell has the edge over the rookie given his average target has traveled 10.4 yards compared with the rookies rate of 8.4, the highest of the top eight targets on the team over the past three games. The Browns have yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to wideouts, while LaFell delivered a touchdown and solid yardage against Cleveland earlier this season. With Dalton playing well in a clean pocket -- the Cleveland Browns rank 28th in pressuring passers -- LaFell could enjoy a nice downfield showing this Sunday.Malcolm Mitchell, New England PatriotsIts difficult to trust an upstart rookie in the fantasy playoffs, but Mitchells rise appears sustainable. The adaptive New England offense is now peppering its wideouts with targets, as Mitchell is second only to Julian Edelman with 16.9 percent of the teams target market over the past three games. Mitchells rapport with Tom Brady is impressive, as he has hauled in 77.3 percent of his targets and produced 43 percent of the teams receiving scores over the past three games. The Ravens have ceded the ninth-most fantasy points to receivers, supporting a nice outcome spectrum for Mitchell.Tight endLadarius Green, Pittsburgh SteelersThe hype for Green this offseason was tied to the premise the big-play tight end would finally see rewarding exposure in routes and targets and get out of the shadow of Antonio Gates. Lingering and mysterious injury issues kept Green off the field for the first half of the season, but were finally seeing Ben Roethlisberger thrive with his new downfield weapon. Big Ben has completed five passes at least 15 yards past the line of scrimmage to Green in the past two games. Roethlisberger has four such completions to other tight ends over the past two years. Greens 24.6 percent share of the teams targets over the past two games leads the team, as does his rich target-per-route rate of 40 percent, signaling hes a top read for Roethlisberger. The Buffalo Bills, meanwhile, have surrendered nearly 14 yards per catch to tight ends this season, the highest rate in the league. From the waiver to starting lineups, Green could be a key component to championship runs.Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay BuccaneersThis Harvard product has been an inclusion in this column several times this season, but is still available in nearly half of ESPN leagues and has a start rate of 30.7 percent. As a key red zone target on an offense with inviting scoring upside, Brate is a top streaming option at this fickle fantasy position.Jermaine Gresham, Arizona CardinalsWith at least four receptions or a touchdown in four straight, Gresham is fourth on the Cardinals with 13.6 percent of the teams targets over the past four games. A catch rate around 70 percent and a role as a key dump-off valve, Gresham could return value against a Miami Dolphins defense that has surrendered the sixth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season.QuarterbackEmbarking in the fantasy playoffs in most leagues, its not exactly an inviting week to stream quarterbacks. Although, we can passionately endorse the Buccaneers Jameis Winston given a start rate of 29 percent in ESPN standard leagues, Winston is admittedly already widely owned (rostered in 70 percent of ESPN leagues) and the crowd will surely identify this inviting matchup against the New Orleans Saints.Andy Dalton of the Bengals could be of interest against a Browns defense that has allowed a touchdown on a third of opposing drives since the start of Week 4, the highest rate in the league over this sample. Started in just 7.8 percent of leagues, Dalton enjoyed awesome downfield success against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, completing five of his six attempts at least 20 yards downfield with a touchdown, per Pro Football Focus.Some of us play in deeper and multi-quarterback formats, if thats the case, Alex Smith of the Kansas City Chiefs is available in a majority of ESPN leagues. Smiths team is favored in a game with a healthy enough implied point total, per the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook. With some simple math, we deduce the Chiefs team total is hovering around 25 points for this pivotal division matchup. This indicates multiple touchdowns from the Chiefs, an inviting sign against an Oakland Raiders defense that has ceded a touchdown on nearly 24 percent of opposing drives since the start of Week 4, the seventh-highest rate in the league and above the league average allowance of 21.5 percent.D/STTennessee TitansDick LeBeaus aggressive defense has the fifth-highest blitz rate in the league and has surrendered the seventh-lowest completion rate to opposing passers this season. The Titans will face either an ailing Trevor Siemian, who just got out of a protective boot for a sprained foot, or green rookie Paxton Lynch, who completed half of his passes for 4.04 yards per dropback this past week. Widely available, streaming this group in a game with a total hovering around 43 points, per the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, could prove rewarding.Pittsburgh SteelersThe Steelers had one of the weakest pass rushes for much of the season, but since the start of Week 8, they claim the third-highest blitz rate, sending added pressure on nearly 40 percent of opposing dropbacks. The Steelers have the ninth-highest pressure rate over the past six weeks and have compiled an impressive 13 sacks over the past three games. The Bills have just three passing touchdowns since the start of Week 7 and rely heavily on their ground game, an element that could shift if the Steelers elite offense can build an early lead. With Tyrod Taylor melting under the persistent pressure the Raiders brought in Week 13, there is a template for the Steelers to thrive this week.Washington RedskinsGoing deep into fantasy free agency, this promotion angle for the Redskins is facing a regressing Carson Wentz on a depleted and inept Philly offense. Since the start of Week 5, when right tackle Lane Johnson first left the team because of suspension, the Eagles have turned over the ball on 16 percent of their drives, most in the NFC and just behind the Chargers for the dubious league lead in this metric. The Eagles are just 24th in points per drive over this span, suggesting Washington could thrive in this meeting with a limping division foe.Individual defensive playersLinebackerNick Kwiatkoski, Chicago BearsA gem in Scrabble leagues, this fourth-round rookie out of West Virginia has played on all but four defensive snaps for the Bears over the past two games and tallied a career-high nine tackles in Week 13. Available in virtually all ESPN leagues, its safe to assume you stream this rising rookie.For another name, the San Diego Chargers Korey Toomer continues to enjoy every-down exposure and has at least nine tackles in four straight.Defensive backMichael Griffin, Carolina PanthersWith Kurt Coleman ailing, Griffin played on all 71 of the teams defensive snaps in Week 13 and tallied 14 tackles in the process. Facing a busy San Diego offense that feeds its ground game with a bevy of touches, Griffin could again tally a nice day in the tackle department.Back from an enduring injury absence, Jahleel Addae has played on all but four of the Chargers defensive snaps over the past two games and has 18 tackles to show for his exposure rate.Defensive lineShea McClellin, New England PatriotsEarning exposure at outside linebacker for the Patriots, McClellin has seen increased snaps over the past two weeks. With 12 tackles over the past two games, this position eligibility loophole could prove rewarding in deeper leagues.Denvers Derek Wolfe has 14 tackles over the past two games and has been a valuable edge setter when healthy this season.

Air Force 1 Just Do It Uomo Italia . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December.ARLINGTON, Texas - With the Blue Jays winners of four-in-a-row and eight of 11, TSN.ca sat down with veteran Mark DeRosa to discuss the state of the club, its chances of emerging from the basement of the American League East and the leadership of manager John Gibbons. Heres the transcript of the discussion: TSN.ca: The team is starting to come together here, I guess winning does that, but have you seen a process thats led the results of late? DeROSA: Well, obviously, were getting really good starting pitching performances. I mean, Mark Buehrle, hes had three or four just really, really good starts in a row. Getting (Josh Johnson) back, hopefully we get Brandon (Morrow) back, Chien-Ming Wang came in and gave us almost eight innings the other night. R.A. (Dickey) always takes the ball every five days. I think its just a situation where were getting a little bit more consistent, the lineups getting more consistent, seems to be the same guys against the same matchups. Guys are kind of knowing where they fit in and what their roles are. Weve had guys like Adam Lind just take off and really, really solidify that four-hole and give Edwin (Encarnacion) some serious protection. Its just about getting healthy. We all knew the talent was here, it was just a matter of how long could it go this bad without changing. I think were all excited that were playing better. I think we realize there are reinforcements coming in the likes of Jose Reyes, Brett Lawrie and Brandon Morrow. Those are three key pieces that certainly are going to help us. TSN.ca: The expectations, all the new faces, you guys coming together, does a team with all these new faces, in a city thats starved for a winner, need some time just to gel and relax? Were guys trying to do too much early? DeROSA: Well I think so. I mean I cant speak for everybody. I know thats what it certainly appeared to be. I think I told you this in spring training, I was in a similar situation in 07 in Chicago with a lot of new faces and a new manager and just a lot of expectations thrust on a team that spent a lot of money. We got off to a very similar start, maybe not as bad as the start we got off to here pretty similar and found ourselves constantly trying to claw our way back to .500 to give ourselves a chance in the second half. We were able to do it and end up winning the division so by no means has anyone lost confidence in here. If anything its only kind of slowing growing. I look forward to us playing good for the rest of the year. TSN.ca: In your experience back then was there a turning point with that Cubs team? DeROSA: I think we were about six games back at the time. We were playing Milwaukee, a day game in Wrigley and Aramis Ramirez, we were pretty much out of the game, Aramis Ramirez hit either a three-run homer or a grand slam in the bottom of the 8th to send us to the W. I mean, you go from eight games potentially back to five, it was almost like a three-game swing for us and it kind of just, the fans lit up, everyone went crazy and it was a springboard for us getting hot. Obviously Lou (Piniella,) hes a fiery guy, I think a lot of the early season struggles was getting to know his style, him getting to know us, maybe trying to do too much like we were doing here. I think a lot of factors pointed to it but at the end of the day we never lost confidennce in the fact that we were really good and really talented, it was just a matter of it coming out.dddddddddddd TSN.ca: Well probably need hindsight for this but is the type of home run that Jose (Bautista) hit in Chicago, with two strikes and two outs in the ninth to tie the game and you win in extras, could that be a turning point? DeROSA: And then I also think a situation like today. You come into todays game, its a situation where weve won three games in a row off a good team, we seem to match up well. I mean, if were able to pull off a four-game sweep in Texas against a team thats gone to two of the last three World Series can only boost your confidence going forward. Theyre a great team over there, a lot of respect for them, so to come in here and continue to play well. But yeah, there are moments when youve got to get lucky. It seemed like early in the season everything we did kind of blew up in our faces. Every error cost us a run, every missed pitch execution-wise was a homer, it was just one of those situations. Maybe we can get it going, trending in the other direction. TSN.ca: We dont know when Bretts going to be back but what does he need to do when he returns? DeROSA: Relax. I think thats the one word, relax. We need him to be Brett. We dont need him to try and carry us, we dont need him to try and be the man, we just need him to play his game. I think him relaxing and his infusion of energy into the clubhouse is something that makes any clubhouse better, I really believe that. Hes a fiery guy, he keeps everyone on their toes, and the energys infectious, it really can be at times when youre playing a game in Texas in 100-degree heat. I think thats the thing, weve got a nice flow to the lineup right now, like I said Gibbys been consistent with the lineups hes thrown out there. Our bullpens been phenomenal, I hate to not mention that, theyve been phenomenal. I kind of give them, I dont want to say a pass, but a situation where I expect it kind of out of them now. That goes without saying but our starting rotation, hopefully with Brandon coming back, can get comfortable. Josh throwing the ball the way hes capable of and a consistent lineup, whether it be against righties or lefties, whatever Gibbys doing that day, just lets us relax and have fun and play. TSN.ca: The manager, earlier on, came under some criticism. As a player youve played for a lot of different guys, we just talked about Lou, how has John Gibbons performed under the circumstances? DeROSA: Unreal, unreal. You know, you probably couldnt say it in the press and I know guys would bite their tongues, you know sometimes maybe the manager, guys dont see eye to eye with him and you can understand maybe some things getting written. But with John, no, it couldnt be further from the truth. Not at all. Hes a mans man, he treats us like men, he expects us to show up and perform and be accountable and be an adult. For me hes been absolutely everything I thought hed be from the guys I talked to coming in. Hes been awesome and to watch him go through that early-season criticism was really, really difficult because it had absolutely nothing to do with him or anyone on the coaching staff. We were just playing bad, bad baseball so Im glad that weve gotten on this little streak. I hope we can keep it going for the remainder of the season because hes been a great manager. ' ' '
