Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the weekly waiver deadline. Quarterbacks Blake Bortles, Jacksonville Jaguars (at San Diego) Last Week: 14-4, 223 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INT Bortles played only the second half of the Jaguars blowout loss to the Indianapolis Colts last week, but showed an ability to move the offence that Chad Henne did not. Bortles has now been named the starter for the Jaguars and is worth a stash on your fantasy bench as he settles into the role of starting quarterback. The Jaguars will likely be playing from behind in many games this season, meaning Bortles will be given plenty of opportunities to throw the ball. Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins (at New York Giants) Last Week: 30-of-48, 427 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT Cousins, who was on the Waiver Wire last week, followed up his strong Week 2 performance against the Jaguars with a dominant Week 3 performance against the Philadelphia Eagles. Having proved to be more than a one-week-wonder, Cousins needs to picked up a played as mid-range QB1 in a favourable matchup against the Giants in Week 4. Cousins remains available in the majority of fantasy leagues. Running Backs Lorenzo Taliaferro, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Panthers) Last Week: 18 carries, 91 yards, 1 TD Taliaferro took over as the Ravens lead back in the absence of Bernard Pierce in Week 3. The rookie out-touched Pierces backup Justin Forsett 18-to-11, while scoring the lone rushing touchdown for the Ravens. Taliaferro is worth picking up, but could struggle to get touches once Pierce returns, which could be as soon as Week 4. Taliaferro had no touches through the first two weeks of the season. The Ravens face the Carolina Panthers this week, who allowed 264 rushing yards in Week 4. Donald Brown, San Diego Chargers (vs. Jacksonville) Last Week: 31 carries, 62 yards, 5 receptions, 27 yards Brown received a career-high 31 carries against the Buffalo Bills in Week 3. He struggled with just 2.0 yards per carry, but should continue to see plenty of attempts with starter Ryan Matthews injured and fellow back Danny Woodhead on injured reserve. Brown will likely make more of his carries in Week 4 against the Jaguars. Alfred Blue, Houston Texans (vs. Buffalo) Last Week: 13 carries, 78 yards, 1 reception, 10 yards Playing in place of Arian Foster, Blue was the clear lead back for the Texans against the New York Giants. Though he will likely return to his backup role in Week 4 as Foster returns, Blue is worth keeping on your bench in case Foster is re-injured. The Texans also plan to lower Fosters touches after a combined 55 carries through the first two weeks. Matt Asiata, Minnesota Vikings (vs. Falcons) Last Week: 12 carries, 35 yards, 3 receptions, 36 yards Asiata has established himself as the Vikings starter as long Adrian Peterson remains away from the team and could see a further spike in carries with starting quarterback Matt Cassel sidelined. Asiata should be on the FLEX radar in Week 4, as the Vikings play a Falcons defence that has struggled against the run this season. Wide Receivers Jordan Matthews, Philadelphia Eagles (at San Francisco) Last Week: 8 receptions, 59 yards, 2 TDs Matthews eight catches against the Redskins stand out as he tied Jeremy Maclin for the team-high. The six-foot-three rookie appears to have moved ahead of Riley Cooper on Nick Foles target list and will likely continue to receive red-zone targets in the Eagles explosive offence. Matthews is a WR3/FLEX option heading into Week 4 against the 49ers, but has WR2 upside. John Brown, Arizona Cardinals (Bye) Last Week: 4 receptions, 52 yards, 1 TD Brown has three touchdown catches through three weeks this season. He has benefited from working in an offence with Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd, whom defences shift their coverages to. The rookie could also see an increase in targets following the Cardinals Week 4 bye. Brown is a WR3/Flex option through three weeks. Cecil Shorts, Jacksonville Jaguars (at San Diego) Last Week: 5 receptions, 35 yards, 1 TD After missing the first two weeks of the season with a hamstring injury, Shorts made his 2014 debut against the Colts. Due to his injury, Shorts is available in the majority of fantasy leagues and could see a production boost with Bortles under centre. Shorts is the Jaguars top and most experienced option receiving option, meaning Bortles could gravitate to him. Tight End Owen Daniels, Baltimore Ravens (vs. Carolina) Last Week: 1 reception, 8 yards With Dennis Pitta finished for the season with a hip injury, Daniels will take over the starting duties for the Ravens at tight end. Daniels likely wont post the same numbers as Pitta would have, but should still receive targets in the Ravens offence. Daniels caught two touchdown passes in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He should be considered a TE2 moving forward. Dwayne Allen, Indianapolis Colts (vs. Tennessee) Last Week: 4 receptions, 46 yards, 1 TD Allen and Colby Fleener are both featured heavily in the Colts offence at the tight end positions. Through three weeks, Allen appears to be the safer play despite being held without a reception against the Eagles in Week 2. Allen has eight catches for 107 yards and two touchdowns through three weeks. Colby Fleener could also be worth a pickup after a four receptions for 49 yards in Week 3 against the Jaguars. Allen and Fleener are both boom-or-bust TE2s entering Week 4. Will Grier Jersey . More importantly, he is trying to show his young teammates the Colorado are still post-season contenders.

Burnett was happy to escape from New York.ASHBURN, Va. -- The face was different, the words familiar. Like Mike Shanahan and nearly every recent Washington Redskins coach, Jay Gruden is anxious to declare an end to franchises days of dysfunction. "I dont know what happened last year," Gruden said. "I know that interviewing with Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen and everybody here that the passion for excellence is there. All they want to do is win, and theyre going to provide me with every avenue to win." Gruden was introduced Thursday as the man charged with ending the perpetual state of turmoil the team has endured under owner Snyder and recently under general manager Allen. Gruden was a given a five-year contact for his first NFL head coaching gig, taking over a 3-13 team that has finished last in the NFC East in five of the last six seasons. "We HAVE to get it right," said Allen, who led the search and interviewed six candidates. "We need to get the franchise back on track in a winning direction. ... We were looking for a new leader, somebody who can inspire our football team. We knew it was more than just X and Os, it was about finding the right person to build a team chemistry that we needed." Gruden is Snyders eighth coach in 16 seasons as an NFL owner. Unlike Shanahan, who was fired last week, Gruden will not have final say over all football matters. Hell report to Allen, who has taken charge of assembling the roster and other personnel decisions. Snyder attended the news conference but did not speak to reporters. The 46-year-old Gruden has spent the last three seasons as the offensive co-ordinator of the Cincinnati Bengals, where his skill in helping to develop Andy Dalton will no doubt be of use when he takes on the task of grooming another young franchise quarterback, Robert Griffin III. Gruden praised the talents of Griffin and spoke of the need to build a "genuine" trust with the quarterback, who regressed this season after winning the APs Offensive Rookie of the Year award in 2012. Griffin returned from major knee surgery to start 13 games, but he publicly disagreed with some of Shanahans decisions, struggled as a drop-back passer and was benched for the final three weeks. Asked to confirm that Griffin will be the starter, Gruden chuckled and said: "I dont see him as a backup." "I see every trait that a quarterback has to have to be successful, I see Robert having all of those," Gruden said. "So why wouldnt you want to coach a guy like that? ... Im going to let him know that Im a trustworthy guy. Hes also got to understand that I expect a lot from the starting quarterback. I expect him to come in and prepare and work hard, and I expect him too take the blame on some throws.dddddddddddd I expect him to be a great leader." Griffin limited his comments to a quick post on his Facebook page: "Excited about the hiring of Coach Jay Gruden. Cant wait to get to work with him & the guys!" Gruden said he will call the plays himself and that he has yet to decide which members of Shanahans staff to retain. It seems a safe bet, however, that some combination of defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett, defensive backs coach Raheem Morris and tight ends coach Sean McVay has a good chance of sticking around, based on the trios previous relationship with the new coach. Gruden also said hes a fan of the 3-4 defence that Haslett has used the last four years. "I know theres a lot of coaches here who can coach," Gruden said. Gruden has been largely overshadowed by his more famous brother, Jon Gruden, who won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is now an analyst on "Monday Night Football." But Jay Gruden has been a name on the rise based on his success with Dalton and the Bengals offence. Jay Gruden interviewed for multiple head coaching openings last year and had drawn interest from at least three other teams seeking to fill a head coaching vacancy this year. He interviewed with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday. The Redskins had to wait until the Bengals played their first-round playoff game before Gruden could be courted. It took a bad day from Gruden and Dalton -- scoring only 10 points in a home loss to the San Diego Chargers -- to make Gruden free to be hired this week. "I told him it worked out well that Cincinnati lost," Allen said. "He still doesnt understand that." Gruden said his ties within the Washington organization played a "big role" in his decision. He was an assistant coach with Tampa Bay from 2002-08, where he worked at various times with Allen, Morris and McVay. Gruden also coached under Haslett with the UFLs Florida Tuskers in 2009. Theres no question Gruden has paid his dues. He was a quarterback in the long-defunct World League of American Football, then went to the Arena Football League and began a playing and coaching career that was so successful it landed him in the AFL Hall of Fame in 1999. Hes been a head coach both the AFL and UFL, including two stints with the AFLs Orlando Predators. In 2010, after Haslett left for the Redskins, Gruden was head coach and general manager of the Tuskers and led them to the UFL championship game. "Theres a lot of work to do," Gruden said. "When youre 3-13, theres not one particular player or reason, theres a lot of reasons and theres a lot of things that need to be fixed."
