Found November 15, 2012 on Sports Junkie Online:
PLAYERS: Doug Martin,  Reggie Wayne,  Roy Helu,  Evan Royster,  Aldon Smith,  Russell Wilson,  Kenny Britt,  Nate Washington,  Josh Gordon,  Tavon Wilson,  Blair Walsh,  Robert Griffin III
TEAMS: Tampa Bay Buccaneers,  Washington Redskins,  Indianapolis Colts,  Seattle Seahawks,  San Francisco 49ers,  Cleveland Browns,  Tennessee Titans,  New England Patriots,  Minnesota Vikings,  Green Bay Packers

Fast forward a couple of weeks, and Martin has emerged as a front runner for Offensive Rookie of the Year, and has slid up six spots to take the previous top spot from Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III. For the rest of the rookie rankings, read below.1.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Doug MartinStatistics: 862 rush yards, 7 TD; 296 receiving yards, 1 TDMartin is fourth in the NFL in rush yards, and has 605 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns the past three games.

Weekly Rankings: The One Where I Tell The Tampa Bay Receivers To Bucc Off

Via Razzball Football  |  November 15, 2012
As owners of this dynamic duo already know, both Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams have played well above their draft price nearly all year.  Vincent was the 24th WR off the board in yahoo leagues and Mike Williams was nothing more than an afterthought as the WR39.  It has been a perfect storm for fantasy relevance for these two.  One, Josh Freeman has bounced back from an abysmal...

Freeman's play largely unnoticed in surge by Bucs

Via AP on Fox  |  November 14, 2012
At 6-foot-6, 240 pounds and playing the highest-profile position on the field better than he ever has as a pro, it's difficult to imagine Josh Freeman being overshadowed in the emergence of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. The suddenly potent Bucs averaged more points, yards and yards per play than any team in the NFL in October and have won four of five games, including three...
