2012 Fantasy Football Preseason Stock – Week 4
Chargers at 49ers
Philip Rivers, QB, Chargers 
Philip Rivers went 8-of-10 for 89 yards and an interception in the preseason finale against San Francisco’s reserves. The pick was quite puzzling. He made a horrible decision by trying to fit the ball into Malcom Floyd and was consequently picked off by a backup safety. Rivers is going to throw a ton of interceptions this year. Downgrade him if your league subtracts two points for picks.

Ravens at Rams
Daryl Richardson, RB, Rams 
If you’re looking for a handcuff for Steven Jackson, you’ll want Daryl Richardson instead of Isaiah Pead. Richardson played ahead of Pead in the preseason finale, prompting one of the Ram announcers to declare, “You talk about Daryl Richardson taking carries away from Isaiah Pead… Richardson will be on the field regardless of Pead.” It’s true. Not only has Richardson been the more impressive runner; he also hasn’t had the fumbling and blocking issues that Pead has been guilty of.

Bills at Lions
Mikel Leshoure, RB, Lions The big news for Detroit is that Mikel Leshoure started and ran really well in the preseason finale. He gained 43 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries to go along with a 33-yard reception. He made multiple defenders miss throughout the evening. One of the Detroit broadcasters even commented, “I didn’t know Leshoure had this type of quickness.” Leshoure is suspended for the first two weeks of the season, but he’s a mega sleeper – the No. 1 guy on my 20 Fantasy Football Sleepers of 2012 – usually available in Round 10 or later. He’s the favorite to start beginning in October.

Falcons at Jaguars
Justin Blackmon, WR, Jaguars Justin Blackmon led the Jaguars with six targets against Atlanta’s backups. Blackmon won’t find the end zone very much this year, but it appears as though he’ll be useful in a PPR league. Blaine Gabbert is too craven to throw the ball downfield, so he’s going to keep settling for short junk to his rookie wideout.

Buccaneers at Redskins
Alfred Morris, RB, Redskins Mike Shanahan held his starters out against the Buccaneers. No Robert Griffin, no Pierre Garcon, no Fred Davis. And no Tim Hightower or Alfred Morris. This tells me that Shanahan’s top two backs, at least in September, figure to be Morris getting the early work and Hightower handling third-down duties. Of course, this is a total guess. No one knows what Shanahan is going to do. I don’t even think he knows. But Morris is the one Redskin I would take in Round 11 or later.
