Talent has never been the question when it comes to Danario Alexander, the problem has been injury after injury to his knee. While he missed the start of this season once again due to injury, he is finally healthy and is playing with a QB with a big arm (Rivers) and has blown up the four weeks since he has been active, catching 15 passes for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns. With Gates and Floyd not producing how one would expect, Alexander has stepped up and helped move the offense. If you need help at WR or flex this week, make sure to start Alexander and keep him started till further notice.

After scoring touchdowns in each of his first two games, Ryan Broyles has taken a bit of a back seat while Calvin Johnson got hot and Matthew Stafford started looking to the tight ends and Titus Young. Last game Broyles was only targeted twice, but he caught both passes for 35 yards. Look for those numbers to increase this week. Young has been suspended for this week's game, leaving Broyles with many more opportunities to make plays. While Broyles isn't known as a speed burner, he has great hands and will work the slot, so expect a good number of targets his way. If you need help at WR3 or flex starter, give Broyles a look
