Ones To Watch, Week 13

By Ralph Mancini, NFL Draft Bible/FFi Senior Writer

A. J. FEELEY (QB-PHI)- Stepping in for an inactive Donovan McNabb, Feeley played with great confidence while going toe-to-toe with New England’s Tom Brady. The career backup wound up with 345-passing yards to go along with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Feeley should be able to put up similar numbers next week versus Seattle if McNabb needs another week off.

AVEION CASON (RB-DET)- The veteran runner established himself as Detroit’s go-to receiver out of the backfield. In Thursday’s game versus Green Bay, Cason gained 58 yards on four receptions. Quarterback Jon Kitna could continue looking his way more frequently in Mike Martz’s pass-oriented offense.

FRED JACKSON (RB-BUF)- The former NFL Europa standout chipped in with five carries for 18 yards along with five receptions for 47 yards in Buffalo’s 36-14 loss to Jacksonville. The 6’ 1” 215-pound Jackson first dazzled Bills coaches during the preseason with his explosiveness on catch-and-run plays. The former United Indoor Football League MVP is currently third on the running back depth chart behind Marshawn Lynch and Anthony Thomas.

ANTHONY GONZALEZ (WR-IND)- Peyton Manning finally began showing some confidence in rookie Anthony Gonzalez, connecting on five passes with the former Ohio State Buckeye for 105 yards. Gonzalez is a sharp route runner with very good speed.

GREG LEWIS (WR-PHI)- Lewis put his top-notch speed to good use in week 12, catching four passes for 88 yards and two scores against the mighty Patriots. The 27-year-old wide out may see a few deep balls coming his way next week against Seattle as Philadelphia will desperately try to keep its faint playoff hopes alive.
