WAIVER WIRED

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Week in and week out new players seemingly come out of nowhere to post huge fantasy numbers.  This week was no different with players like Jake Locker and  Ramses Barden (WHO???) posting monster numbers.  With tons of injuries already this season chances are you are looking for some players to step in.  Below is our weekly report of who you should be taking a look at to help strengthen your roster. 

PICK ME UP BITCHES!!!!

Jake Locker - Owned in 7.3% of ESPN Leagues

Locker finally burst onto the fantasy scene Sunday with a 378 yard 2 TD effort.  While we don't envision those types of numbers every week he is poised to build on that performance and could be a useful Bye week replacement

Worth a look in larger leagues

Shaun Hill - Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

As it seems it is a yearly occurence Matt Stafford was injured and Shaun Hill came in and lit it up.
While Hill will only play if Stafford is out with injury it is sure something Stafford owners need to monitor closely

Should be picked up by all Stafford owners

Daniel Thomas - Owned in 58% of ESPN Leagues

Thomas appears to be the new lead back in Miami for the short term while Reggie Bush heals.  He could be a nice cheap pickup of a player getting 15 plus carries

Should be owned in all leagues

Lamar Miller - Owned in 2.9% of ESPN Leagues

While it seems Daniel Thomas will get the majority of carries in the absence of Reggie Bush Miller will get some carries

Lance Ball- Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

When Willis McGhahee went down Sunday Lance Ball appeared to be the guy Denver will turn to.  Continue to monitor McGhahee's status going into Sunday

TY Hilton - Owned in .2% of ESPN Leagues

With Austin Collie lost for the season Hilton stepped in with a 113 yard effort on 4 receptions.  He won't do that every week but increased looks are likely

Ramses Barden - Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

With Nicks and Hickson out Barden had a huge day.  9 catches for 138 yards were huge numbers from the virtually unknown player

Kevin Walter - Owned in 1.4% of ESPN Leagues

Walter is clearly the number 2 wideout on the high powered Texans offense.  He is a decent flex play in very large leagues
