Waiver Wire Wonders

Waiver Wire Wonders

Another week in the NFL and another set of Fantasy starters go down. Our primary attraction is a twin billing of Matt Leinhart and Deion Branch who will both miss significant time as Matt broke his collarbone and Deion has a sprained knee. Michael Pittman is also out for quite a while so for the time being the Bucs are down to Earnest Graham as their only RB option, Jamal Lewis tweaked an ankle and Jake just called it a season when he elected to have surgery so with the bye weeks one might as where do I go from here?

QB’s

Kurt Warner – If for some reason he is still available go run and grab him as he is the Cardinals signal caller moving forward.

Cleo Lemon – The Dolphins head to Cleveland this week and Trent Green is done so it is no Cleo’s team.

RB’s

Jason Wright – Jamal Lewis is banged up so Wright could be in-line for more carries..

Dominic Rhodes/Justin Fargas – Just in case Lamont is out for long you could do worse then taking a shot at one of these two…

Selvin Young – I can’t imagine he is still available but if so grab him as Travis’s suspension from the NFL is bound to happen sometime.

Deshawn Wynn – There are worse bye-week replacements as he is getting quite a few touches in Green Bay.

WR’s

Bobby Engram/Nate Burleson – With Deion Branch out for a few weeks they become 1 and 1a for Hasselback and the Seahawks.

Dennis Northcut – If you want a Jaguars receiver on your team this is the one as he is getting most of the balls thrown his way.

Tim Carter – If Joe is out Tim becomes #2WR and in that offense that could be a good play especially with Miami coming to town.


TE’s

Eric Johnson – If you get points per reception he can be your bye-week replacement as he sees the ball a lot.

Randy McMichael – The beleaguered Rams looked much better under Gus so taking a flyer on Randy may be worth it if you need a bye-week replacement for your TE.

Defense

Redskins – They held Detroit’s vaunted offense down and now they get a shot a GB so maybe worth a shot.

Seahawks – The Hawks welcome the Aints to town and since the Aints haven’t shown anything to us yet why would we expect that to differ now.
