Whether you're dealing with some early-season injury bugs or left some holes open after your draft, there's a handful of players still available in most leagues that could be of service this week.

Here they are!

Newly dubbed running back and now-part-time receiver Ty Montgomery is still available in most leagues, and currently heavily involved in all facets of Green Bay's offense. He's racked up 10 carries in back to back games -- with Eddie Lacy and James Starks both injured -- and 12 receptions over that span. Especially considering his position flexibility, Montgomery is a solid option if bye weeks have you panicking this week.

With C.J. Anderson out for an extended period, Devontae Booker should be owned in all leagues moving forward. The rookie scored his first career touchdown last week, running for 83 yards, and will carry much of the load for the forseeable future. Against San Diego this week, which he ran for 9 YPC against earlier in the month, expect major production.

With Matt Jones out for Week 8 against Cincinnati, Robert Kelley is a high-ceiling play. The 24-year-old has accumulated just 17 carries so far this year, but for more than sic yards per carry, and will be lining up against a Bengals defense that has given up scores to running backs in each of the last three games.

Quincy Enunwa, WR

The Jets go up against the Browns in Week 8, who have given up a pair of touchdowns to receivers in each of their last two games, and 10 in total this year. Enunwa has been slotting in as the Jets' No. 2 receiving option with Eric Decker out of the season, and Ryan Fitzpatrick will be taking his fair amount of shots down field. If you're in a pinch for a flex fill-in, the second-year receiver is a solid option.

Cameron Brate, TE

The Raiders have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends over the last three games, and Jameis Winston's viable targets beyond Mike Evans are hard to come by. After a promising start, Brate has cooled off, but this matchup presents an opportunity to creep back into the fantasy picture.
