QB Seneca Wallace, Seattle Seahawks
It appears as if Matt Hasselbeck will be missing another game in Week 17. In his place, Seneca Wallace could very well have a big game. He’s going against an Arizona Cardinals defense that just got destroyed in Week 16.

RB LaMont Jordan, New England Patriots
After missing most of the season with a calf injury, LaMont Jordan is back and producing for the Patriots. Although he’s not starting, he’s been getting goal line carries and the bulk of the carries when the game is out of reach. In the last two weeks, he has three touchdowns.

WR Jerheme Urban, Arizona Cardinals
Since Anquan Boldin is going to likely miss another week and most fantasy football leagues already have Steve Breaston on a roster, Jerheme Urban is the player to target on most waiver wires. He’s getting a few passes his way and with the Cardinals going against the Seahawks, he could be productive in Week 17.

TE Anthony Fasano, Miami Dolphins
In the first couple weeks of the season, Anthony Fasano looked like the real deal in terms of fantasy football production. He then went on a long dry spell but now he’s back in the fantasy equation after posting three touchdowns in the last three weeks.

QB Shaun Hill, San Francisco 49ers
It took a while for Shaun Hill to get his shot this season but he’s been very productive as a starter. Fantasy football owners looking for an emergency starting quarterback would be wise to look Hill’s way. He doesn’t have a big arm or great weapons — but the bottom line is that he’s a productive fantasy player.

RB Maurice Morris, Seattle Seahawks
The starter at running back currently for the Seahawks is Maurice Morris. He’s beaten out Julius Jones and now is getting the vast majority of the carries. In Week 15 of the fantasy football season, Morris and the Seahawks take on the anemic St. Louis Rams. Morris should be able to have a quality game against their sub par defense.

WR Deion Branch, Seattle Seahawks
Another way to try to take advantage of the Rams in Week 15 is to pick up Deion Branch. Branch is coming off of his best game of the season by far — a two touchdown performance against the New England Patriots. Branch isn’t a great start but he’s getting close to 100% and is a boom or bust choice going forward.

TE Martellus Bennett, Dallas Cowboys
Even though Jason Witten is back in the fold for the Cowboys, Martellus Bennett is still getting some action. Bennett, the backup tight end for Dallas, is a definite threat near the end zone. In the last four games, Bennett only has six catches but three of them have been touchdowns.

QB Joe Flacco, Baltimore Ravens
Usually when you are looking for a quarterback, you don’t look at the Ravens. But right now, rookie quarterback Joe Flacco is turning heads. He has at least one touchdown in his last six games and has two touchdowns in three of his last four games. This week against the Cincinnati Bengals he should be able to keep those streaks alive.

RB Maurice Morris, Seattle Seahawks
Although Julius Jones has been the running back for most of the season for the Seahawks, he seems to have lost his starting job to Maurice Morris. Last week, Morris had 14 carries for 103 yards and also had three receptions. He’s not a great option at the moment but he’s somewhat reliable in a pinch.

WR Davone Bess, Miami Dolphins
With Greg Camarillo out for the season, Davone Bess now moves up the depth charts and into a starting roll. Quarterback Chad Pennington is playing well so any wide receiver whose on the field a lot will have value. Since Bess is young, his ceiling is higher than if a veteran took over that role. Keep an eye on him.

TE Heath Miller, Pittsburgh Steelers
After missing several weeks due to injury, Heath Miller was back in the lineup for the Steelers this past weekend. In his return, Miller caught four passes and scored a touchdown. He’d be a risky start in Week 13 but Miller definitely has top ten tight end talent and would be a good pickup off of a fantasy football waiver wire.

If any of these players are available on the waiver wire of your fantasy football league, don’t hesitate to pick them up ASAP. These players are more than capable of helping you win a fantasy football championship in 2008.

QB Tyler Thigpen, Kansas City Chiefs
Entering the 2008 fantasy football season, Tyler Thigpen was the third quarterback on the Chiefs depth chart. Now Thigpen has ascended to the starting spot and he’s producing very well. He appears to be a legit quarterback and is very likely Kansas City’s QB of the future. Pick him up now and he can serve as a quality fantasy football option depending on the matchup.

RB Peyton Hillis, Denver Broncos
Although he’s more of a fullback, Peyton Hillis should become the new running back for the Broncos. Injuries to Selvin Young, Michael Pittman, Andre Hall and Ryan Torain have opened the door for Hillis to get a shot. As any fantasy football veteran can tell you, picking up the right Broncos running back at the right time can lead to big things.

WR Mark Bradley, Kansas City Chiefs
With Thigpen delivering him the ball, Mark Bradley has emerged as a quality fantasy football wide receiver option. In fact, with as hot as he currently is, he’s a player you need to get into your starting lineup. Once he gets the ball in his hands, he can use his quicks to make plays and score touchdowns.

TE Kevin Boss, New York Giants
For the third consecutive week, Kevin Boss scored a touchdown. He’s emerging as one of Eli Manning’s favorite targets, especially around the endzone. With as well as he has been playing in recent weeks, Boss certainly can start on your 2008 fantasy football team.

QB Marc Bulger, St. Louis Rams
The Rams are alive! Two straight wins and St. Louis looks like a real team. That is great news for Marc Bulger, who now has two legit targets in Torry Holt and rookie Donnie Avery. Bulger still has time to raise his level of play to become a decent fantasy football option.

RB Pierre Thomas, New Orleans Saints
With the news that Reggie Bush will miss at least a couple of weeks, Pierre Thomas now moves into a role where he’ll share carries with Deuce McAllister. While he may not get more than 10 to 12 carries per week, he’ll be a touchdown threat every week.

WR Malcom Floyd, San Diego Chargers
Chris Chambers is down injured and Malcom Floyd is doing a good Chambers impersonation. He’s using his long length to his advantage and is a great target in the end zone. As long as Chambers is out and Philip Rivers remains on fire, Floyd is a good start.

TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Minnesota Vikings
Since Gus Frerotte has taken over as quarterback of the Vikings, Vishanthe Shiancoe has emerged as a very good fantasy football tight end option. If he’s still available on your league’s waiver wire and you need a tight end, be sure to pick him up.

QB Brad Johnson, Dallas Cowboys
If Tony Romo misses any action, Brad Johnson should be able to fill in decently enough. Against a poor defense, Johnson is a good start even at his old age due to all the offensive weapons at his disposal. However, be aware that Romo is necessarily out for Week 7 so you should still follow that storyline closely.

RB Dominic Rhodes, Indianapolis Colts
With Joseph Addai out approximately 2-to-4 weeks, Dominic Rhodes will step into a starter’s role. Although he isn’t as good as Addai, Rhodes runs hard and should be able to produce. He’s a decent RB2 until Addai returns. Pick him up if he’s available in your league.

WR Shaun McDonald, Detroit Lions
Now that Roy Williams is a member of the Cowboys, Shaun McDonald is expected to start at wide receiver. While he’s not a great receiver, he showed that he has fantasy potential last year. Don’t start him on your fantasy football team right away but he’s a sleeper that could blossom later in the year.

TE Billy Miller, New Orleans Saints
If Jeremy Shockey misses another week, consider picking up and starting Billy Miller. Miller is getting a good amount of looks from Drew Brees and has performed pretty well. Another week in the starting lineup could spell a big day and perhaps a touchdown for Miller.

A fantasy football waiver wire can help you get the advantage in your league. By successfully stocking up of waiver wire gems, you can greatly improve your chance of winning a fantasy football championship.

Here are a list of waiver wire targets to go after. If any of these players are available, pick them up ASAP.

QB Kyle Orton, Chicago Bears
In Week 5, Kyle Orton had his fifth consecutive very good fantasy game. It’s a bit early to call him a good fantasy football starter on a weekly basis but he’s looking like he can be a quality backup.

RB Justin Fargas, Oakland Raiders
After missing a couple weeks due to injury, Justin Fargas is expected back soon. Once he gets back in the lineup, Fargas will carry a big load for the Raiders. He should be on a roster in all fantasy leagues.

WR Bobby Engram, Seattle Seahawks
Returning from injury in Week 5, Bobby Engram wasted little time proving his worth. He had eight catches and was the obvious go-to guy for the Seahawks’ air assault. Engram should be a top 25 wide receiver from this point forward.

TE Anthony Fasano, Miami Dolphins
Anthony Fasano continues to look like the real deal in Miami. The Dolphins’ passing game isn’t as anemic as many thought it would be and Fasano is a big reason for that. He has a chance to finish the year as a top ten tight end.

QB Trent Green, St. Louis Rams
With Marc Bulger out of a starting quarterback job, Trent Green is the new man in charge. He has talent on his offensive unit so he may be able to shine.

RB Michael Pittman, Denver Broncos
For the third straight week Michael Pittman scored a touchdown. While the Broncos are using a three-headed monster at running back, Pittman is arguably the most valuable due to his goal line carries.

WR Brandon Lloyd, Chicago Bears
Although the Bears remain weak at wide receiver, Brandon Lloyd has emerged as their top wideout. He had a big week in Week 3 and should remain Chicago’s go-to guy.

TE Donald Lee, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers seems to be getting more comfortable with using his tight end, which is good news for Donald Lee. He’s not a spectacular starter at this point but he should be solid.

QB JT O’Sullivan, San Francisco 49ers
With the Detroit Lions next on the schedule, JT O’Sullivan is a very good start. He started off the season shaky but stepped it up in the second half of his Week 2 game. He could become a good backup fantasy football QB.

RB Michael Bush, Oakland Raiders
The Raiders like to run the ball. A lot. With Justin Fargas going down with a groin injury and Darren McFadden favoring an injured toe, Michael Bush could be the starter before long in Oakland.

WR Muhsin Muhammad, Carolina Panthers
Not too long ago, Muhsin Muhammad and Steve Smith formed a lethal combination. With Steve Smith making his debut for the Panthers this week, Muhammad could become a favorite target for Jake Delhomme in the end zone.

TE John Carlson, Seattle Seahawks
If John Carlson is available in your fantasy football league’s waiver wire, be sure to snag him up as soon as possible. The rookie tight end for the Seahawks promises to be a big part of the team’s offense, especially with all their injuries at the wide receiver position.

Need to fill a starting spot on your fantasy football roster? Check out these waiver wire gems that you can put into your Week 2 lineup.

QB Kerry Collins, Tennessee Titans
With Vince Young injured, Kerry Collins will step in as quarterback for the Titans. Collins has a great matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals and could be in line for a big day.

RB Sammy Morris, New England Patriots
Tom Brady won’t be there to pass around the football for the Patriots, which could lead to more runs for Sammy Morris. He had a good Week 1 and should follow that up with a solid Week 2.

WR Eddie Royal, Denver Broncos
In the first game of his NFL career, Eddie Royal looked like a future great player. Jay Cutler looked for him repeatedly and Royal didn’t disappoint. Start Royal with confidence until he shows otherwise.

TE John Carlson, Seattle Seahawks
With Seattle’s top four wide receivers injured (Deion Branch, Bobby Engram, Nate Burleson and Ben Obomanu), look for John Carlson to get a lot of looks in Week 2. He’s arguably the most talented receiver left on the Seahawks roster.

K John Carney, New York Giants
Even though John Carney is up in age and even though he’s not the full-time kicker for the Giants, he’s a very good start this week. Against the Rams, Carney should get two or three field goals at minimum.

D Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals defense looked extremely strong in Week 1. Feel free to start them again this week against Miami Dolphins.
