Week 3 Waiver Wire Starters – Fantasy Football

admin — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 02:05:28 +0000

QB Gus Frerotte, Minnesota Vikings
In Minnesota, Gus Frerotte has been given the reins to the offense and he’ll likely be decent while he remains healthy. This is as healthy as he’ll be so use him before he goes down.

RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
With Justin Fargas injured and Darren McFadden banged up, Michael Bush should get plenty of carries against the Bills.

WR Bryant Johnson, San Francisco 49ers
If Bryant Johnson is available in your league, pick him up ASAP. The Niners are going against the friendly Lions defense and Johnson should have a big game.

TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Although the Packers have a difficult matchup against the Cowboys, the defense of Dallas typically has trouble defending the tight end position.

Bryant Johnson 2008 Fantasy Projections

admin — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 10:39:15 +0000

The San Francisco 49ers added to their wide receiving corps by signing Bryant Johnson, who formerly played for the Arizona Cardinals. Johnson, who has recently backed up Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin in Arizona, was brought on to add another weapon to the Niners’ passing attack.

Johnson has shown flashes of being a really good receiver. While he’s been overshadowed in recent years, his potential is still quite good. When given an opportunity to play an expanded well, he’s usually reacted well.

In San Francisco, it’s too early to tell how many snaps he’ll play per game. He’s joining Darrell Jackson and Isaac Bruce as wide receivers on the Niners. Jackson and Bruce probably have the inside edge in terms of the starting position. However, it’s important to not that Mike Martz has been brought on to run San Francisco’s offense. Martz loves to play three, four and even sometimes five wide receiver sets.

In 2008, Johnson should be good for around 700 yards and four touchdowns. Those projections could rise if he is named the starter at some point before the season begins.

Week 14: Waiver Wire Pickups

admin — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 05:21:38 +0000

QB Luke McCown, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
With Jeff Garcia sidelined, McCown stepped in for the Bucs and played great in the team’s victory. McCown threw for two touchdowns and for over 320 yards. However, Garcia might come back this week from his back injury. If you pickup McCown, he’d be a decent start in Week 14 if Garcia isn’t able to go.

RB Fred Jackson, Buffalo Bills
Jackson had a very good game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. He finished with 82 yards rushing and 69 yards receiving. In Week 14, he’d be a rather nice start against the Miami Dolphins. The bad news for Jackson is that Marshawn Lynch might return from his ankle injury.

WR Bryant Johnson, Arizona Cardinals
Anquan Boldin suffered a toe injury in Week 13, while Larry Fitzgerald was out injured prior to the game. Suddenly, Johnson was the number one receiver on the Cardinals. Heading into Week 14, it appears as if Boldin won’t be able to play and Fitzgerald isn’t a certainty, either. If one or both of those stud receivers misses the game, Fitzgerald suddenly becomes a quality fantasy football starter.

TE Desmond Clark, Chicago Bears
Clark has quietly become a fantasy option again. While Greg Olsen has gotten a lot of the tight end looks of late, Clark has been productive over the last couple weeks. After getting 61 yards in Week 12, Clark finished with five catches, 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. In Week 14, he’s a decent enough start against the Washington Redskins.
