Fantasy Football Week 16: Waiver Wire

QB Brodie Croyle, Kansas City Chiefs
Truth be told, Croyle hasn’t been very good this season. He lost the starting job in preseason and when he’s gotten a chance to play during the season, he hasn’t done anything of note. That said, the Chiefs are playing against the struggling Detroit Lions this week. If Croyle is ever going to play well, now could be the time. If you are desperate QB, pick him up.

RB Dominic Rhodes, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas getting hurt on Sunday, the starting job in Oakland looks to be headed into Rhodes’ hands. Rhodes hasn’t been overly successful this year but he should get a lot of carries from here on out. LaMont Jordan might also get some carries but it appears as if Rhodes is higher on the depth chart at the moment.

WR David Patten, New Orleans Saints
Drew Brees is playing very well and one of his biggest targets of late has been Patten. Ever since Reggie Bush got hurt, the Saints have turned into a pass happy team. Next to Marques Colston, Patten seems to be the best wide receiving option on the team. Expect him to continue get a lot targets over the next couple weeks.

TE Kevin Boss, New York Giants
With Jeremy Shockey out for the season with a broken fibula, the starting job should go to Boss. While you shouldn’t expect too much out of Boss, he has shown some glimpses of talent. With his size and good hands, he could very well turn into a red zone target for Eli Manning.
