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.

Emergency Starters – Week 5

admin — Sun, 07 Oct 2007 07:44:42 +0000

If you need a last second fill-in on your roster, look at these guys who you should be able to pickup and play.

David Carr, QB, Carolina Panthers – Carr was horrible in his debut in Week 4. With Jake Delhomme out injured, Carr laid an egg against Tampa Bay. That said, he’s worth an emergency start in Week 5. Not because he’s suddenly a better player, but because he’s facing the New Orleans Saints. The Saints have looked horrible on defense at times this year. Additionally, Panthers’ WR Steve Smith is a threat no matter who the quarterback happens to be.

Ron Dayne, RB, Houston Texans – Miami’s defense has been very bad this season. If Ahman Green is out for the game, pick up and play Dayne with confidence. Dayne should be good for a touchdown against the Dolphins’ D. He’s not going to rumble for a lot of yards but the Texans’ offense is good enough to move the ball with Matt Schaub quarterbacking the team.

Andre Davis, WR, Houston Texans – Like Dayne, Davis should be able to take advantage of Miami’s porous defense. He has been getting a good number of targets since Andre Johnson went down with an injury. If Davis is taken in your league, Texans’ second WR Kevin Walter is even worth a spot start against Miami.

Desmond Clark, TE, Chicago Bears – Clark had seven catches last week with Brian Griese at the helm. If Griese continues to look Clark’s way, he should produce this week similarly. Clark has very good hands and is a threat around the endzone.
