Stefon Diggs – WR, Minnesota Vikings

While it's only been two weeks, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been red-hot lately. The rookie out of Maryland has grabbed 13 receptions for 216 yards in his last two games. His biggest game (seven catches for 129 yards) came against the weak Kansas City Chiefs secondary, but his original breakout game came against the stellar Denver Broncos defense.

The Vikings are not a high-powered offense and Diggs is not a big-play threat, so he'll have to make the most of his targets the rest of the season. But with a young quarterback and an offense that would love to take pressure off of Adrian Peterson, Diggs has a chance to get targets and rack up points.

To top it off, Mike Wallace said that Diggs reminds him of Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. That sounds like an honest and unbiased opinion to me.

Christine Michael – RB, Dallas Cowboys

It's already Friday, so it's too late if you missed him, but Christine Michael was probably this week's biggest target on the waiver wire. Consistent touches are hard to come by for running backs, and word out of Dallas is that Michael will be given an opportunity to run behind their acclaimed offensive line.

To add even more fuel to the fire, Dez Bryant is inching his way back towards the field. However with Tony Romo out the Dallas offense is a mess, and as it turns to Matt Cassel for help it will be hard for any running back to find space. If Michael grabs hold of the job, he'll be a consistent fantasy starter once Bryant and Romo return.

Michael has averaged 4.8 yards in 54 NFL carries and was acquired from the Seattle Seahawks right before the start of the season. The Cowboys have been open about their displeasure with Joseph Randle's performance so far, and Michael could be a big asset for any fantasy team down the stretch.

Jonathan Stewart – RB, Carolina Panthers

While everything in Carolina centers around Cam Newton at quarterback, one of his few trusted outlets is running back Jonathan Stewart, who has been with the team since his rookie year in 2008. Stewart has never been a great fantasy option, but he does have a few positives that make him a valuable fantasy asset in 2015.

To begin with, Stewart has hardly been pushed for his starting role. While Stewart has averaged 3.8 yards per carry, his backups Mike Tolbert and Cameron Artis-Payne have combined for just 28 carries this year. Stewart had a resurgent second-half in 2014 and finished the year with 809 rushing yards and 181 receiving yards on 25 catches.

In make-or-break Weeks 14 and 16, he'll take the field against the Atlanta Falcons, who have been stingy with yards but have allowed ten rushing touchdowns in six games this year. If Stewart can take advantage of that, he could turn the tide in your fantasy playoffs.
