BUY: QB Drew Stanton, Lions: Dan Orlovsky is slated to start for the near future since Jon Kitna is on IR. Orlovsky might be pleasantly solid with more practice reps – but conventional wisdom says Detroit takes a look at Drew Stanton later this season. After the Roy Williams trade they have some 7 picks in the first 100 slots next spring. They need to know if Stanton has the goods or if they should start scouting Tim Tebow or Chase Daniel. You never know, Stanton could be a fantasy spot-starter by mid-November.

BUY: RB Cedric Benson, Bengals: Like we mentioned in the Fantasy Vision recaps, “Chris Perry might be best suited as a 3rd-down back, like 3 years ago when he hauled in 51 passes and broke tackles like a maniac.” In the last 4 weeks Perry’s longest run has been 25 yards, 12, 10, and 4. And he’s fumbling like crazy. That’s what’s killing Marvin Lewis. Lewis enjoyed ball-control with Rudi Johnson, who fumbled once every 85 carries from 2005-2007. Perry is fumbling every 19 carries this year. What we’re saying is, (gulp) Cedric Benson might take over soon.

SELL: WR Roy Williams, Cowboys:  He’s back home in Texas (he went to Permian High of Friday Night Lights fame) and slated to start alongside Terrell Owens. He’ll have to get the new terminology down, though. Roy’s already signed his 5-year extension (terms still undisclosed) and we’re betting there’s $20m stuffed up front in a suitcase. This is a perfect time to shop the newest Cowboy.  Dallas fans always let their hearts bleed into fantasy drafts (they don’t just pick Romo, they nab Owens or Witten too) so hit up your league’s Dallas dude, see what the market’s like. Roy’s reputation is a little better than his actual performance. In his last 25 games he’s only hit 100 yards 5 times. 

The entire report will be posted at 1:00 pm EST Wednesday.
