 Stecker, Booker fail to stat Week 12
|
Updated 11/29/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Atlanta RB Aaron Stecker and WR Marty Booker failed to stat in the Week 12 win over Tampa Bay. Both were active. | Analysis: Stecker is clearly not going to be a factor in Fantasy this season. Michael Turner was injured in this game and Jason Snelling didn't even get any extra touches. Stecker is way out of the loop. Leave he and Booker on waivers in all leagues for Week 13 against the Eagles. |

Stecker not a factor in Week 11
|
Updated 11/22/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Falcons RB Jason Snelling got 25 carries in Week 11 at the N.Y. Giants. He scored two touchdowns and gained 76 yards. He also caught three passes for 13 yards. He was the only Falcons RB to get any carries in the game with Aaron Stecker not getting any touches. | Analysis: Snelling got the start in place of Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood, who were both out with injuries. He wasn't particularly explosive, with just a 3.0 yard-per-carry average. However, he was able to put together a solid stat line and would be very useful if the Falcons call on him again if Turner and Norwood remain sidelined for Week 12 vs. Tampa Bay. Stecker is clearly not going to be a factor in Fantasy this season. |

Stecker back with Falcons
|
Updated 11/17/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the Falcons re-signed RB Aaron Stecker, who was released by the team on Saturday. Stecker has 383 carries for 1,517 yards and eight touchdowns in 10 NFL season. He appeared in two games with the Falcons this year and has two carries for 6 yards and five catches for 34 yards. | Analysis: Stecker is insurance in case Michael Turner (ankle) is out for an extended period of time. Stecker will play behind Jason Snelling and Jerious Norwood and has minimal Fantasy value heading into Week 11 at the Giants. |

Stecker makes 3 grabs Week 9
|
Updated 11/8/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Atlanta RB Aaron Stecker rushed twice for 6 yards in the Week 9 win against Washington. Stecker added three catches for 22 yards. | Analysis: Stecker was playing in his second game with the Falcons as Jerious Norwood and Jason Snelling continue to miss time due to injury. Stecker has no Fantasy value at this time for Week 10 at Carolina. |

Stecker grabs two in Falcons debut
|
Updated 11/3/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: RB Aaron Stecker, playing in his first game for the Falcons with Jerious Norwood (hip) and Jason Snelling (hamstring) inactive, had two catches for 12 yards Week 8 at New Orleans. | Analysis: Stecker will probably rank low on the depth chart when Norwood and Snelling return and won't steal many touches from Michael Turner even in his current role. Leave him on waivers for Week 9 against the Redskins. |

Falcons make roster moves
|
Updated 10/27/2009 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: The Atlanta Falcons signed free agent running back Aaron Stecker, placed safety William Moore on injured reserve, placed cornerback Glenn Sharpe on practice squad-injured and signed safety Eric Brock to the practice squad. | Analysis: The only notable Fantasy name in the bunch is Stecker, who is with the Falcons to help them prep for the Saints as much as provide depth at running back. No one listed above should be considered for Fantasy use. |

Stecker placed on IR
|
Updated 11/19/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Tailback Aaron Stecker will miss the rest of this season with a hamstring injury. Stecker became the 13th member of the Saints' injured reserve list Tuesday. Stecker had been battling his injury since the first week of the season. He aggravated it on a 12-yard catch early in the first quarter Sunday at Kansas City and left the game. | Analysis: Stecker's injury comes at a tough time for the Saints since Reggie Bush is out and Deuce McAllister is facing a possible suspension soon. Obviously, if he's out for the year, then Fantasy owners shouldn't have him on their rosters. Speculating with Pierre Thomas at this point wouldn't be a bad idea. |

Stecker has one catch
|
Updated 11/16/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Saints RB Aaron Stecker had one catch for 12 yards Sunday at Kansas City. He did not have a carry. | Analysis: Stecker is a low-end Fantasy RB and should not be used in Week 12 against Green Bay, especially since Reggie Bush (knee) is expected to return. |
|
Stecker cleared for Week 11
|
Updated 11/14/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Saints RB Aaron Stecker (hamstring) is listed as probable for Week 11 at Kansas City. He went through full practice reps all week. Stecker might see a few carries with Reggie Bush (knee) sidelined, but is still expected to backup Deuce McAllister. | Analysis: Stecker has just eight carries in his last four games and hasn't been playing much of an offensive role with Bush sidelined. Not much is expected to change Week 11, so continue to keep Stecker reserved in most Fantasy formats. |

Stecker practices on Wed.

Updated 11/12/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: New Orleans RB Aaron Stecker (hamstring) was able to practice in full on Wednesday and is expected to play in Week 11 at Kansas City. Stecker rushed for 21 yards on three carries against the Falcons in Week 10. | Analysis: Pierre Thomas actually played a bigger part in the passing game, catching five passes. Stecker looks like the least valuable of the Saints' backup running backs, behind Deuce McAllister and Thomas, and Reggie Bush figures to return Week 11 at Kansas City anyway. Consider dropping Stecker this week if you find a waiver claim you like more. |
 Stecker not a factor as receiver
|
Updated 11/9/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Saints RB Aaron Stecker, expected to fill the injured Reggie Bush's void in the passing game, didn't make a single catch Week 10 at Atlanta. He ran only three times for 21 yards. | Analysis: Pierre Thomas actually played a bigger part in the passing game, catching five passes. Stecker looks like the least valuable of the Saints' backup running backs, behind Deuce McAllister and Thomas, and Bush figures to return Week 11 at Kansas City anyway. Consider dropping Stecker this week if you find a waiver claim you like more. |

Stecker mostly factors as receiver
|
Updated 10/27/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: As expected, Saints RB Aaron Stecker mostly filled in for injured starter Reggie Bush in the passing game Week 8 against the Chargers in England. He caught five passes for 27 yards. He ran only twice for nine yards. | Analysis: Deuce McAllister handled the vast majority of the carries for the Saints, but he faces a potential suspension for violating the league's steroid policy. If he ends up having to serve it before Bush returns, Stecker might end up playing even more of a role. Then again, he also has to worry about Pierre Thomas, who had three carries himself Sunday. For the short term, McAllister has the most Fantasy appeal, followed by Stecker and Thomas. The Saints have a bye in Week 9, so wait until McAllister's situation becomes more clear before deciding who to start Week 10 at Atlanta. |

Stecker, Thomas get increased role
|
Updated 10/21/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: With Saints RB Reggie Bush expected to miss three to four weeks after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to repair the torn medial meniscus cartilage in his left knee, Deuce McAllister, Aaron Stecker and Pierre Thomas will be asked to shoulder the load in the meantime. "We'll have to make some adjustments offensively, and some other guys are going to have to step up and play along with Deuce (McAllister), be it Aaron Stecker or Pierre Thomas," coach Sean Payton said. McAllister will become the Saints' primary rusher after playing a complementary role to Bush throughout this season. But Thomas and Stecker both likely will rotate into the mix as the Saints try to keep their versatile offense from becoming too predictable. "As you recall, we were without Reggie last year for the last four games of the season," Saints QB Drew Brees said Monday. "We felt like at that time it was Pierre and Stecker doing a great job. I think that Deuce is running the ball very well right now. Whoever we put back there I have a lot of faith in. Hopefully, we won't skip a beat." | Analysis: Add Stecker first in Fantasy leagues since he's the better receiver of the two, but Thomas will get carries also. Consider Stecker a No. 3 Fantasy option against the Chargers in Week 8 and Thomas a No. 4 Fantasy RB. |

Stecker carries twice without Bush
|
Updated 10/19/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: With Saints RB Reggie Bush leaving in the second quarter with a knee injury, RB Aaron Stecker carried the ball a season-high two times for 10 yards Week 7 at Carolina. He also caught a pass for five. | Analysis: Stecker entered the game with only three touches on offense, with Deuce McAllister and Pierre Thomas each getting more, but since Stecker has the best receiving ability of the bunch, he might surprise with Bush sidelined. Bush likely needs surgery to repair a torn meniscus, so consider Stecker a Fantasy sleeper for at least the team's next two games. He probably doesn't deserve to start Week 8, though, against the Chargers in London. |

Stecker scores on TD pass Week 6
|
Updated 10/12/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Saints RB Aaron Stecker only touched the ball twice in New Orlean's domination of the Raiders in Week 6. Stecker rushed once for three yards and caught one pass for eight yards. The pass from Drew Brees was good for a touchdown, however, in the 3rd quarter. | Analysis: Stecker didn't get his first offensive touch until Week 5. This is his first touchdown of the season. Don't expect his numbers to go up from here. The Saints have Reggie Bush and now a healthy Deuce McAllister and Stecker doesn't figure to be viable in Fantasy anytime soon. Don't use him Week 7 against the Panthers. |

Stecker denied any yards Week 5
|
Updated 10/7/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: Saints RB Aaron Stecker had one catch for no gain during a Week 5 loss to the Vikings. He did not get any rushing attempts. | Analysis: Stecker still doesn't have a carry this season and had his first touch Week 5. He does most of his work on special teams, and until that changes, he has no Fantasy value heading into Week 6 against the Raiders. |

Saints list Week 4 inactives
|
Updated 9/28/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: The Saints inactives for Week 4 is DB Randall Gay (hamstring), RB Aaron Stecker, DB Aaron Glenn, FB Mike Karney and DE Josh Savage. | Analysis: Keep all of these players reserved for Week 4. When healthy, they have minimal Fantasy value. |
|
Saints list Week 3 inactives
|
Updated 9/21/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: New Orleans listed the following players as being inactive for Week 3's game in Denver: WR Marques Colston, WR Terrance Copper, RB Aaron Stecker, DB Aaron Glenn, LB Scott Fujita, TE Mark Campbell and DL Antwan Lake. | Analysis: Colston is expected to miss a few more weeks after undergoing thumb surgery. He is a must-start Fantasy WR when healthy, but keep him reserved until further notice. Stecker's absence leaves the running duties on Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush for the Saints. The rest of these players have little to no Fantasy value. |
|
Saints list Week 2 inactives
|
Updated 9/14/2008 |
| Aaron Stecker, RB ATL | |
| News: New Orleans lists the following players as inactive for Week 2 at Washington: CB Mike McKenzie, WR Marques Colston, CB Randall Gay, LB Scott Fujita, DB Roman Harper, DL Antwan Lake and RB Aaron Stecker. | Analysis: We already knew Colston would be out, as he's expected to miss the next 4 to 6 weeks. Stecker's absence leaves the running duties on Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush for the Saints. The rest of these players are not recommended in Fantasy on a weekly basis and can be safely ignored vs. the Redskins. |
