Let\u2019s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>John Skelton, QB, Arizona Cardinals<\/strong>: \u00a0Skelton threw for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions.

He also caught a pass for 13 yards. With Starks banged up, Grant is a nice RB option.<br \/>\n<em>Ruling: \u00a0Get \u2018em<\/em>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>T.J. Yates, QB, Houston Texans<\/strong>: \u00a0Yates threw for 300 yards and two touchdowns with a pick. He added 36 yards on five carries. What\u2019s even more impressive is he did it without Andre Johnson. While his job is secure, I couldn\u2019t count on him at this point in the fantasy playoffs.<br \/>\n<em>Ruling: \u00a0Don\u2019t Sweat \u2018em<\/em>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Donte\u2019 Stallworth, WR, Washington Redskins<\/strong>: \u00a0Stallworth caught four passes (six targets) for 96 yards.

Seven catches (13 targets) for 78 yards and a score. I suppose he should be owned, but you likely have to wait until the fourth quarter to get your points.<br \/>\n<em>Ruling: \u00a0Get \u2018em<\/em>.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Titus Young, WR, Detroit Lions<\/strong>: \u00a0Young caught four passes (seven targets) for 87 yards and a touchdown.
