Week 15: Waiver Wire Pickups

admin — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:23:59 +0000

QB Trent Edwards, Buffalo Bills – Edwards is coming off a big fantasy game and has another good matchup this week against the Cleveland Browns. Edwards, who had four touchdowns in Week 15, has some quality talent at his disposal including Lee Evans. With the Browns being such a poor defensive bunch, expect a couple touchdowns out of Edwards this week.

RB Darius Walker, Houston Texans – With Ron Dayne injured, the running back job for the Texans looks like it could be Walker’s. Walker, who was recently on the Texans’ practice squad, got some work last week and played decently well. With Dayne out, expect Walker to be featured this week against the Denver Broncos.

WR Michael Jenkins, Atlanta Falcons – Jenkins has had a quiet year this season, but things are looking better for him. With Chris Redman at quarterback for the Falcons, he seems to look Jenkins’ way a lot of the time. In Week 14, Jenkins finished with 9 catches and a touchdown. This week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jenkins should be good for a good amount of receptions.

TE Alex Smith, Tampa Bay Buccaneers – If you need a tight end, look at Smith. With Jeff Garcia expected back at quarterback for the Bucs and matchup against the Atlanta Falcons looming, Smith is a very nice start this week. While he’s not a threat to get a lot of receptions, he’s a very nice red zone threat for Tampa Bay. There’s a better than decent shot of Smith ending up with a touchdown this week.

Week 8: Waiver Wire Pickups

QB Kellen Clemens, New York Jets
It’s just a matter of time before Clemens is named the starter for the Jets. The Jets offense has taken a step back this season under Chad Pennington, while Clemens has shown enough promise to warrant a look. The good news for Clemens is that the Jets have a decent amount of weapons on offense, so if he plays well he could put up productive fantasy stats.

RB Jesse Chatman, Miami Dolphins
With Ronnie Brown out for the season with a torn ACL, Chatman is the next running back in line for Miami. While Chatman hasn’t had much of an NFL career, he’s shown spurts of talent over the years. He should get a chance to prove whether or not he can carry the load for the Dolphins. So far, Miami’s offense has been very friendly to running backs, meaning Chatman is a must pickup if he’s available.

RB Chris Henry, Tennessee Titans
Henry stepped in for Chris Brown and had a nice game backing up LenDale White. While Henry won’t be a great fantasy start with White healthy, he could get enough carries to be a decent emergency starter. If White goes down, Henry could be the next in line, even when Brown regains his health.

WR Chris Henry, Cincinnati Bengals
The original Chris Henry is also a nice pickup off the waiver wire this week. His suspension ends soon and there’s a good chance he’s in the lineup in Week 9. The Bengals have struggled without him and he should see a lot of passes coming his way once he’s allowed back on the field.
