Help for the bye week blues

It's another massive bye week in the NFL, with six teams taking their break. What that means for us is that many of the players that have been starting every week must now be replaced.

Hopefully you planned ahead and have someone to slot in for any of your players on bye. If not, here are some players who can help, either off of your waiver wire or moving them back into the active lineup off the bench. We start with a quarterback who has a very good chance to crack the top 10 in scoring in Week 9:

Andy Dalton has a strong shot at being a top-10 fantasy QB this week.

This is a really rough week for QBs: The Nos. 3, 6, 9 and 12 fantasy QBs are all taking the week off, and if you've been counting on Tony Romo, his health is a significant concern.

If you're in one of the leagues where Dalton is available on the waiver wire (he's owned in just over half of ESPN.com leagues), he's a perfect fill-in this week.
