Many fantasy leagues are in the last week of their regular season games, and many fantasy owners are in need of a strong plug and play fantasy option. Here are three fantasy options that are available in most leagues, but they are getting picked up quickly as they are expected to have big weeks.
New England Patriots TE Scott Chandler -The Patriots have already ruled out tight end Rob Gronkowski with a bone bruise and sprained right knee. With Gronkowski out, Chandler will step into the top tight end position for New England this weekend. Head coach Bill Belichick tends to feature tight ends in his offensive game plans, and Chandler will look to be the recipient of a ton of offensive play calls. Chandler is in his first season in New England and has already become a big target for quarterback Tom Brady. The Patriots tight end is coming off a big game against the Denver Broncos in which he caught five passes for 58 yards and a touchdown. Chandler looks to be a viable option at the tight end position or the flex spot this week and is due for a big week against a struggling Eagles secondary.
San Francisco 49ers RB Shaun Draughn - 49ers running back Carlos Hyde will miss another game for San Francisco this weekend, and Draughn will look to continue to step up in his absence. Draughn looks to be a strong play in PPR leagues and has caught 13 passes for 75 yards in the past two games for San Francisco. Draughn looks to be a strong option at the second running back position or the flex spot this week and has a favorable matchup against a weak Bears-run defense. Chicago's defense is ranked 29th in the league in terms of rushing yards per game, and Draughn will look to exploit open holes against their defense. Draughn is still available in leagues but is becoming a hot commodity in fantasy with Hyde out for an extended period of time.
