Maybe your starter is banged up.  Maybe they have a bad matchup.  Whatever the case, you’re looking for a quick Fix, and we’ve got you covered.  Every week, we’ll scan the matchups and provide you with two or three favorable options that are available in the majority of Fantasy Leagues.  This week, the Free Agent Fix offers up a breakout-ready wide receiver and a running back that could pay big dividends if you’re patient.

Ryan Broyles, WR, Detroit Lions

Our readers were rewarded handsomely when we recommended Titus Young in this column five weeks ago.  But after turning in an eye-popping performance (9 catches for 100 yards; 2 TDs) in Week 8, the rate at which Young’s stock has dropped is almost unfathomable.  After a series of shenanigans, which according to the Detroit Free-Press, included  lining up in the wrong spot intentionally during a loss to the Packers, Young was suspended by the Lions.  What once looked so promising has become a sad state of affairs for Young owners – this author included.

Fortunately, Young’s transgressions left Ryan Broyles with an opportunity that he seized emphatically on Thanksgiving, hauling in six catches for 126 yards against the Texans.  A talented receiver and the beneficiary of being lined up opposite Calvin Johnson, Broyles figures to have a lot in store for fantasy owners in the coming weeks.  He’s only owned in 30% of Yahoo leagues, and he’s got WR3 potential moving forward.  We recommend an add if you’ve got the roster space.

Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver Broncos

We can’t advise you to start Knowshon Moreno this week, but we can advise you to add him with confidence.

This column is generally designed to offer more immediate help, but with the playoffs around the corner, it’s time to start sizing up your matchups for the next few weeks.   Grab Moreno now, or risk having him run wild for your opponent.
