I dont neccesarily mean big name, I mean someone that you got real cheap that has done great since. (Or even if it was just a fill in for a week or two).
Ive had 2, 1 in each of my leagues
Patrick Crayton
Deshawn Wynn
For
Mojo.
I got Mojo on september 26th. His value was obviously low after 3 week totals of 100 rushing yards (average carry of 3 yards (33 carries)), 56 recieving yards and no TDs for 3 games. Plus he was also on a bye that week which probably made his value slightly lower.
The next 3 games hes got 259 rushing yards (on a 7.6 average per carry (34 carries), 4 rushing TDs, and 106 receiving yards.
Wynn was cut a few days later (and picked up by someone a couple weeks ago) but has been at best average. Crayton was dropped a few days later. He had 1 big game but pretty much nothing else useful. (And the big game came when he was on waivers).
In my other league I picked up and started Kenny Watson last week for his 130 rushing yards, 3 tds and 27 receiving yard performance.

Only thing significant I've done is picked up Dwayne Bowe off waivers before week 4 and started him. Ended up having 8 rec 164 yards and a TD.
Hasn't done much for me since.

I picked up Brian Griese in both of my leagues right after the Cowboys/Bears game finished, a few days before they announced Rex's benching. Important pickup because I also had Marc Bulger in both of my leagues, who has either been sucking or injured.
I also traded Maurice Jones Drew and Darrel Jackson for Adrian Peterson back in week 3 or so.
Minor ones include picking up Jennings and McDonald, and Lemon as a fill in for one week and getting 4 TDs out of him.

I just traded Kevin Jones for Roy Williams. A player drafted Jones in the fourth round, realized he was hurt and dropped him. I picked him up and traded him back to the guy this week for his second overall pick, Roy Williams. At RB I have Willie parker and Adrian Peterson who I drafted in the sixth round of my keepr league. I also draft Brandon Marshall with my last pick.

I've made a couple of moves in my league. League rosters (2 qb's, 3 rb's, 4 wr's, 2 te's, 1K, 2 Def's, plus of course bench spots)
First move really paid off for me. Move early in the year before Bulger got injured. I moved Bulger, Kevin Jones, and the Tennessee D for Frank Gore, David Garrard, and Atlanta D.
Second move I made was trading Trent Edwards for Donald Lee. I really needed a tight end and Lee is pretty solid.
Last move I just made was to get a QB. With Garrard going down I just couldn't trust leaving it up to Jason Campbell and Phillip Rivers to get the job done. So I moved Frank Gore and Jason Campbell and I got Ben Roethlisberger and Calvin Johnson. I have Brandon Jacobs, Willie Parker, and Adrian Peterson as my backs so I felt pretty good with those backs, my depth is minimal I only have Jesse Chatman as my backup.
The two big FA picks up made I used with my waivers. Somebody had to drop Hines Ward due to no roster spots when he was injured. So I quickly went in to grab him. The other me is me hoping this guy makes it back for the fantasy playoffs. Javon Walker was dropped after his surgery. I have an extra bench spot, so I figured it did me no harm to give him a shot.
I made one mistake drop, getting rid of Greg Jennings. In this league he's worth something. I could have maybe tried to trade him instead.

Maybe a Raiders fans one or something. Even then id think some would have the sense to know Randy would be at least worth something.

I've picked up Jennings and Holmes, who are both top 10 receivers now (by average).
I also picked up Kieth for that week because I have Addai and heard like 10 minutes before game time that he wasn't going to play.

ive had 3 good pick ups thus far this season
i traded Trent Green for a slumping Drew Brees, brees turned it around a week after trading for him, and green got hurt the day after the trade was complete.
i also got Joseph Addai for an Andre johnson, and Phillip Rivers. i wanted to keep johnson cause i think hell be a top 5 WR but i figured addai will be a top 3 rb the rest the year
i got tenn. Def off waivers for the dropped houston Def

****., are you **** kidding me. Whoever did that is a dumb ass.
But anyways The best trade i did was before the season
i traded
Larry Johnson/Chad Johnson
For
Coles, Mcahgee, Gates, Chicago Defense
So my Rb's before the season were
Jones-Drew
Ronnie Brown
Mchageee
Carnell Williams
I thought i was pretty damn deep . intill 5 weeks into the season. lol
Oh yeah I just now completed anther trade. I needed a qb badly, Since Gresie went down, and i dont know when or how good gurrad will be when he comes back.
So i traded
Gates
for
Winslow/Garcia
I am hoping that don't get vetod but i am guessing it will.
