Fantasy Football, Pink Cleats and Breast Cancer Awareness

I am what is known as a fantasy football rookie. In the private league in which I participate, one of my best drafts was DeAngelo Williams, who played for the Tigers of the University of Memphis. The article below appeared in the New York Times and was written by Judy Battista. In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, NFL players will be wearing pink gloves, sweatbands and the like. Williams, whose mother is a breast cancer survivor, had the idea of adding pink cleats.
Of course, the Panthers have a bye this weekend, so I must figure out a replacement player for DeAngelo. Any suggestions?

Then [Jesus] took a little child and put it among them; and taking it into his arms, he said to them, “Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me.”
