WAIVER WIRED.....WEEK 6

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

OUR PICKUP OF THE WEEK

Unless you are in a 8 team league your waiver wire is getting pretty thin at this point.  With that being said there are always moves to make and players to grab off the scrap heap.  With some key injuries in Arizona and Tennessee there possible steals out there who could help you right away.  Please use the below list as a guide when perusing the waiver wire.  Our Pickup of the week happens to be William Powell.  WHO you may ask?  Well he is most likely the running back in Arizona who will carry the load for the foreseeable future with news that Ryan Williams is out for the season with surgery slated on his AC shoulder joint. 

Ryan Tannehill - Owned in 5.4% of ESPN Leagues

While the young QB isn't exactly lighting things up yet we see the potential.  He has a strong arm and a quick release to go along with solid accuracy.  He is a guy that could be a solid backup down the stretch.

Worth a look in larger leagues

William Powell - Owned in .1% of ESPN Leagues

Our pickup of the week as Ryan Williams went down for the year and Beanie Wells is out until week 12.  Powell is easily first in line to be the feature back in Arizona for the near future.

Should be owned in all leagues

Jamie Harper - Owned in .1% of ESPN Leagues

With Javon Ringer likely out for the season and Chris Johnson playing horribly bad Harper is a sneaky add and could pay dividends down the line

Worth a look in Larger Leagues

Josh Gordon - Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

The talented Supplemental pick of the Browns received his first start last Sunday and produced with a long TD grab.  He could be just what strong armed Brandon Weeden needs to get a jump start on his season.

Should be owned in Larger Leagues


Devery Henderson - Owned in 1.7% of ESPN Leagues

Here comes Henderson yet again.  With Lance Moore and Jimmy Graham hindered by injuries Brees is looking back to his old stand by in Henderson.  With 8 grabs for 100+ yards and a TD Henderson should get increased targets at least for the short term

Should be owned in Larger Leagues

Domenik Hixon - Owned in 17.3% of ESPN Leagues

Hixon is now a starting wide receiver for the NY Giants until Hakeem Nicks returns from injury.  In the pass happy Giant offense you could do much worse than adding Hixon to your roster.

WAIVER WIRED..........

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Fantasy Football is an ever changing landscape.  What was garbage turns to gold.  What was unknown is now a hot commodity.  This week’s Waiver Wired report has some guys listed that are sure to be highly sought after, especially in larger leagues.  Make sure to get your claims in ASAP!!!!

Brandon Bolden - Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

GET THIS GUY RIGHT AWAY

Bolden burst onto the scene this week with over 130 yards on 16 carries and a TD.  While these #s will not be there every week, if at all this season, anyone with a weak backfield should be putting in a claim.  The Pats offense is explosive and TDs will be plentiful

Should be owned in all leagues
Jackie Battle - Owned in 9% of ESPN Leagues

Battle has somehow creped his way into the San Diego backfield mix.  He didn't accumulate a lot of yards but did get 2 big TDs last Sunday.  While Ryan Mathews will soon retake control here you could do worse that Battle

Should be owned in larger leagues

 
Brian Hartline - Owned in 26% of ESPN Leagues

Hartline exploded Sunday with 200+ yards receiving and a TD.  Since it appears he is the go to man in the Dolphins passing game we recommend adding him right away.  He is already a borderline Flex play

Should be owned in all leagues

Donald Jones - Owned in .8% of ESPN Leagues

With a 68 yard TD Sunday Jones showed he has the ability to take it to the house.  With the Bills passing the ball quite often and David Nelson out for the year, Jones is worth a look

Worth a look in larger leagues

Scott Chandler - Owned in 32% of ESPN Leagues

Chandler is a TD machine so far this year with 4 in 4 games.  While he won't get 16 TDs this season 8 to 10 are not out of the question.

Should be owned in larger leagues

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

Worth a look in larger leagues

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

Worth a look in larger leagues

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

Worth a look in larger leagues

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

Worth a look in larger leagues

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

WAIVER WIRED.....

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

With Week 2 coming to a close a fantasy owners attention must quickly switch to the waiver wire.  Well the pickings are pretty slim this week.  We decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find a few real gems that can help your lineup now and later.  The highest percentage owned on our list is Heath Miller at 23.6% ownership in ESPN leagues.   

QUARTERBACK:

Brandon Weeden - Owned in 2.1% of ESPN Leagues

What a difference a week makes for the old rookie.  He looked poised and accurate throwing for 322 yards and 2 TDs against Cincinnati.  Even better was the fact that he threw 0 INTs.

Worth a look in larger leagues

RUNNING BACK

What can Brown do for you?

Andre Brown  - Owned in .8% of ESPN Leagues

When Ahmad Bradshaw went down with a neck injury the Giants did not turn to the young 1st rounder David Wilson but to Brown.  With Bradshaw looking unlikely to play you might be able to pick up a starting running back of the wire.

Should be owned in all leagues

Jackie Battle - Owned in .3% of ESPN Leagues

With Ronnie Brown shitting the bed in week 1 and Curtis Brinkley ineffective the Super Chargers turned to Battle and he produced to the tune of 69 yards and 2 TDs.  While Mathews should be back this week Battle is someone to cuff to the oft injured running back.

Should be owned by Mathews owners

WIDE RECEIVERS

Brandon Gibson - Owned in .4% of ESPN Leagues

Gibson is really showing that he and Bradford are on the same page.  With Gibson getting over 50 yards and a TD in his first 2 games he is someone to keep an eye on.

Worth a look in larger leagues

Donnie Avery - Owned in .7% of ESPN Leagues

Avery lead the Colts with 11 targets Sunday.  That is a huge # and it paid off with Avery going over 100 yards.  Luck could look his way often the rest of the year with Collie in and out of the lineup

Worth a look in larger leagues

Harry Douglas - Owned in 2.1% of ESPN Leagues

Douglas has shown to be an important part of the Falcons offense.  While he won't bust out for big totals every week he is certainly a guy you could start in the flex position if the matchup is right.

Bye week replacement in larger leagues

TIGHT END

Brandon Myers - Owned in  .1% of ESPN Leagues

Myers is a guy you probably have never heard of before.  I know we hadn't until we took a look at Oaklands final depth chart but he has produced big time in weeks 1 and 2 with 150 yards and 11 grabs.  He could be a real diamond in the rough.

Should be owned in larger leagues

Heath Miller - Owned in 23.6% of ESPN Leagues

Miller is a guy who every year is a guy on the waiver wire for the first couple weeks but he always is picked up pretty quickly.  Aaron Hernandez owners could do worse with starting Miller for a couple weeks.

Should be owned in larger leagues.

WAIVER WIRED.....

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Get this guy while you can

Week 1 is in the books and now comes the time when you really make your money.  Sure your lineup is set with studs from your yearly draft or keepers but as we say there is always work to be done with your roster.  While your waiver wire probably is not overflowing with talent there are definitely some gems out there that can help strengthen your bench.   Below we advise who we think you should pick up.




QUARTERBACKS

Mark Sanchez - Owned in 12.3% of ESPN Leagues

While all the hype in NYC has been on what Prayer Tim Tebow read that day and if he does or does not shave his chest Sanchez did and said all the right things in the preseason.  He then proceeded to carve up a newly revamped Buffalo Bill's Defense.  While you probably don't want him as your starter he is a very solid QB2 at this point

Should be owned in all leagues


Russell Wilson - Owned in 24.3% of ESPN Leagues

Don't tell this guy he can't do something because you are only setting yourself up for failure.  Wilson won the Seahawk job out right and is another solid backup to add to your roster for insurance.  He didn't light things up Sunday but keep in mind that was only his first start in the league and will only get better

Should be owned in larger leagues

Matt Cassell - Owned in 31.2% of ESPN Leagues

Cassell is another guy that doesn't get any fantasy respect.  While he certainly is not an upper tier QB he is a Bye week gem when given the right matchup.

Should be owned in larger leagues

RUNNING BACKS

Alfred Morris - Owned in 18.2% of ESPN Leagues

In the ever complicated world of Mike Shannahan we saw not Roy Helu or Evan Royster get the Lion's share of carries Sunday but Alfred Morris.  In doing so Morris took the ball and produced big time.  Chances are you have room to add a guy that goes for 90 yards and 2 TDs on a consistent basis.

Should be owned in all leagues

Kendall Hunter - Owned in 8.1% of ESPN Leagues

While Hunter has only really been thought of as a possible cuff to Frank Gore he showed Sunday that he was much more than that.  Sure if you have Gore we think you should pick up Hunter right away but in deep leagues Hunter could be a nice Bye week Flex option

Should be owned in larger leagues

Dexter McCluster - Owned in 3.9% of EPSN Leagues

McCluster has pretty much moved to receiver full time this season but is intriguing since he still has RB eligibility in many leagues.  With that being said he could be a great flex play in PPR leagues.

Should be owned in larger PPR leagues

WIDE RECEIVER


Kevin Ogletree - Owned in 49.8% of ESPN Leagues


Ogletree is probably the #1 waiver pick in almost every league nation wide.  He showed that he was up to the task in stepping up into the role held by Laurent Robinson last season.  He will continue to see single coverage game in and game out.  Don't expect 100 yards and a TD every week but Ogletree should produce some decent numbers.


Should be owned in all leagues

Brandon LaFell - Owned in 19.2% of ESPN Leagues

When doing this write up we were very surprised to see that LaFell wasn't owned in majority of leagues especially since he was named starter in Carolina.  He showed Sunday with 65 yards and a TD that that Owned percentage should be trending upward

Should be owned in larger leagues


Alshon Jeffery - Owned in 11.5 of ESPN Leagues

Wide Receiver is certainly the deepest position on this weeks wire report.  Alshon Jeffery is case and point.  He is a guy starting for the Bears potent offense and has rapport with Jay Cutler.  We envision stat lines like his 80 yard 1 TD performance quite often this season.

Should be owned in larger leagues

Stephen Hill - Owned in 7.4 of ESPN Leagues

Hill had a huge first game of his young career Sunday.  He had 89 yards and 2 big TDs.  Another young guy that seems to be a favorite target of his QB.  Hill will have ups and downs but he will get better as the season goes on.

Should be owned in larger leagues

TIGHT ENDS

Kyle Rudolph  - Owned in 9.9% of ESPN Leagues

Rudolph has a ton of talent and we think that by the end of the season he will be in the top 10 of Fantasy Tight Ends in most scoring formats

Should be owned in larger leagues

Mercedes Lewis - Owned in 4.4% of ESPN Leagues

Lewis had a down year in 2011 as Gabbert really struggled in the starting role.  With Gabbert really looking like a completely different QB Lewis could trend more towards the Lewis of 2010

Should be owned in larger leagues

WAIVER WIRED.......

By Fantasy Boyz Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

As we near the halfway point of the season are All Star edition of waiver wired will focus on picking up players that will help your lineups keep on winning in the second half of the season.  Below we will focus on 4 hitters and 4 pitchers to add to your lineups for that second half run.

Hitters:
David Murphy (12.7% of ESPN Leagues) -  Murphy has been flying under fantasy radars for years now.  Much of that is due to the fact he just doesn't get everyday at bats.  If you are in a deep league however and you are looking for a 4th outfielder Murphy could be your guy.

Murphy is trending up

Gordon Beckham (37.1% of ESPN Leagues) - With second base being thin as always Beckham's recent resurgence has been a God send for many owners out there. 
Quintin Berry (25.1% of ESPN Leagues) - Berry has been teaming up with Austin Jackson as table setters for the Tiger's lineup.  Berry is batting over 300 and has 12 steals in limited action this season.  We feel he will be a great source of runs and steals going forward.
Wilin Rosario (14.6% of ESPN Leagues) - The Rookie backstop isn't going to hit you .275, let alone .300 but he has power in a position really lacking on quality hitters.


Pitchers:
Tommy Milone (21% of ESPN Leagues) - Milone has given up only 2 earned in his last 3 outings, getting the win in 2.   An ERA of 3.73 and 8 wins are hard to come by this time of year
Dallas Keuchel (3.7% of ESPN Leagues) - With 3 straight starts with only 1 earned run to start his season Keuchel is a pitcher to monitor in deep leagues.

How many balls do you see?

Scott Diamond (30.9% of ESPN Leagues) -. Do we have a "DIAMOND" in the rough here???  Lame jokes aside Diamond has been pitching great of late
Mark Buehrle (40.6% of ESPN Leagues) - Buehrle is a guy that never seems to be given credit.  He is coming off 2 straight quality starts. 

WAIVER WIRED.......

By Fantasy Boyz Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Just when you thought your leagues waiver wire was picked clean we are here to show you that there are always real gems to be had at all times.  We have help for you at Outfield, Shortstop, and Second base on the hitting side of things and four arms for your rotation. 

HITTERS
Kirk Nieuwenhuis (19.4% of ESPN Leagues) - Nieuwenhuis has been on a tear of late 3 homeruns in his last 4 games.  He has added some pop to his repertoire to go along with a solid average and runs scored.
Rajai Davis (8.5 of ESPN Leagues) - You know what you are going to get with Davis but if you need steals he is a solid source and he has been hitting well with six hits in his last four.

Good to have you back Brian

Andrelton Simmons (2.6% of ESPN Leagues) - He doesn't have much pop but is sporting a solid average thus far.  He could be a decent stop gap for Tulo owners.
Brian Roberts (22.1 % of ESPN Leagues) - Well it is good to see Roberts back after post concussion symptoms seemed to have all but ended his career.  What is even better news is he is raking in his first 5 games back.

PITCHERS
Trevor Cahill (28.4% of ESPN Leagues) - Mr Cahill seems like he is back to his old Oakland days, of which he was an All Star.  Cahill has sported just two earned in his last twenty three and a third innings.  Now is the time to add him before others catch on.
Justin Masterson (41.3% of ESPN Leagues) - Masterson was owned in nearly all leagues to start the season but his early season struggles caused owners to drop him like hot cakes.  We feel it is safe to add him again after three straight quality starts.
Ervin Santana (38.3% of ESPN Leagues) - Much like Masterson Santana is rising from the drop file back to fantasy relevance with a complete game shut out versus the Dbacks.  We advise a little more caution with Santana however.  Use him when the matchup is right.

Cahill has been DEALING

Mike Minor (27.1% of ESPN Leagues) - You had to feel for Minor in his last start against the Yankees.  He held them to 0 runs in 7 strong innings.  Minor has the pedigree succeed.  We would monitor him in his next few and have no issues adding him to your roster right away in larger mixed leagues.

WAIVER WIRED.....

By Fantasy Boyz Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen


As we state each and every week our Waiver Wired article focuses on 4 hitters and 4 pitchers who are owned in less than 50% of ESPN leagues worldwide.  This weeks look has some very useful players that could stick with your roster long term. 

HITTERS
Michael Saunders (32% of ESPN Leagues) - With 20 hits in his last 11 games Saunders is providing stats in all important categories including stolen bases.  He is a nice addition as a 4th outfielder going forward.

Saunders is mashing of late

Ryan Theriot (8.5% of ESPN Leagues) - Theriot is not going to give you a lick of power but with the 2B position so thin he can contribute in the runs, and hit department.  More of a stop gap option for those of you still riding out Rickie Week's year long slump for example.
Ben Revere (2.1% of ESPN Leagues) - Another guy that is going to give you 0 power but if you need stolen bases in a pinch grab him.  Revere is getting consistent playing time for the Twins at this point and we don't see that going away anytime soon.
Daniel Nava (23.7% of ESPN Leagues) - This guy is leading off for the Red Sox and playing every day but is only owned in 23% of leagues?  He is a line drive type hitter who will pepper the Green monster for the foreseeable future.  He is contributing in Runs, RBIs, and Average(over .311 at the time of this article)

PITCHERS
Jarrod Parker (27.1% of ESPN Leagues) - With only 1 earned run given up in the last 3 Parker is really rounding into form.  He may not get you wins but will contribute in all other stat lines especially pitching in Oakland.
Phil Hughes (17.4% of ESPN Leagues) - Hughes has been an enigma for much of his Big League career.  Highly touted and did produce out of the gate, but his last few seasons have been of the dismal variety.  He has slowly been turning things around of late getting his terrible ERA under 5.  He has lots of work to do to win most fantasy owners back but we are taking a chance on adding him now.

Happy times in Da Bronx for Nova

Ivan Nova (37.1% of ESPN Leagues) - Two Yankee hurlers on the same Waiver Wired?  That just goes to show how sub par the Yanks rotation has really been this year.  Sure Nova is 7-2 but owners have been weary of that over 5 ERA and high WHIP.  His last start was a gem however and Nova tends to heat up this time of the year.  We advocate grabbing him NOW!
Clay Buchholz (45% of ESPN Leagues) - OK we understand, Buchholz has been absolutely TERRIBLE for most of this season, but hear us out.  He coming off a 9 inning shutout against the Orioles and before that when 8 strong at Toronto and 7 good innings against the Rays.  We say grab him and closely monitor his match ups in the short term.  If he turns things back around he could be a solid 4th starter going forward.

Waiver Wired

By Fantasy Boyz Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Here comes another FBoyz Waiver Wire special hot off the press. There are still some solid names out there. Grab them now, while you have the chance.

Elliot Johnson - The Rays shortstop is doing it all currently, hitting for average, a little pop, and 7 steals. With the shortstop position thin you could do worse.

Keep on RAKING

Will Middlebrooks - The young Sox Third Baseman has been ticketed to the minors once Youk is back off the DL. We say NOT SO FAST!!! Middlebrooks is raking. We don't see any way he goes back down, in fact there are rumors that Youk will be the one shipped out.

Ryan Doumit - We don't have to tell you that the depth at Catcher is disgusting. Ryan Doumit is really flying under the radars of many as he is only owned in 8% of ESPN leagues. He has 5 homers and a very impressive 24 RBIs.

Addison Reed - Reed has a newly formed strangle hold on the Chisox closers role. In this season of Closer Carousel welcome Reed to the ride.

Ryan Vogelsong - Vogelsong has been tearing shit up the last 4 games in which he has gone 7 plus allowing 1 run or less in all 4. GIT EM already!!

Week 12 Waiver Wire Report

BY FANTASY BOYZ EDITOR IN CHIEF COREY BUGENHAGEN              

Can Matt Leinart save your fantasy season?

Wow what a difference a week makes on the free agent front.  With so many injuries to starting caliber players it opens the door for their backup to make a difference on the field and in your fantasy lineups.  The injuries have ranged from Jay Cutler, and Matt Schaub being virtually out for the year to Adrian Peterson and Fred Jackson to being possible game time decisions.  This is where a season could be made or broken.  Stay on top of it readers!!!

For any urgent questions please contact us on twitter at @coreyb3p or @dbystrak

Matt Leinart- With Schaub certainly out for the rest of the fantasy football season Leinart is a hot commodity for not only Schaub owners but for teams that are thin at the QB position.  Leinart never really panned out in the desert but he was able to get the ball to Boldin and Fitzgerald.

Add in all formats

Caleb Hanie-  With Cutler also out for at least 6 weeks the Bears will initially turn to Hanie.  With no starts under his belt we are unsure if he will produce anything of substance.

Worth an add for Cutler owners who are thin at their backup position

Kyle Orton-  With Orton just released from the Broncos word out of Chicago is that the Bears are putting in a claim for their former signal caller.  This news is an intriguing development.  If you are a Cutler owner we feel like Orton is the guy to get.  While Hanie probably gets a start or two while Orton learns the offense we don't feel like he will be the guy long term.

The real guy to add for Cutler owners

Matt Moore-  It seems like a late season surge on quarterback is going down.  This can't be the same Matt Moore that lead the Carolina Panthers to the top overall pick last year is it?  Well Moore had another great Sunday and you could really do worse as an emergency QB.

Worth an add in larger leagues

Kevin Smith-  Say hello to the hottest add in Fantasy Football this week.  From civilian cloths to absolutely EXPLODING last week Smith is sure to get a bunch of carries until he proves it was a fluke.  We don't believe he will continue to put up numbers like last week but certainly is someone we would add to our roster.

Add in all formats

Toby Gerhart-  Well AP says that he is playing this week but is he really going to be able to with a high ankle sprain?  We doubt it.  Add Gerhart if you are an AP owner or need a one week play at running back.

Add for AP owners

CJ Spiller-  Fred Jackson sustained a calf injury in the second half of last weeks game and did not return.  While we feel that Jackson's injury is less severe and he probably has a better chance to play than Peterson you may want to take precautions just in case.  Spiller has been a complete bust thus far in his career but has the ability to bust a long run at any time.

Worth a look for Jackson owners

Joe McKnight-  With another injury to a top RB in Shonne Greene McKnight came and produced over 120 yards from scrimmage.  With Greene still banged up this week we advocate adding McKnight if you have a need at running back.

Worth and add for Greene owners

WEEK 10 WAIVER WIRE.....

By FANTASY BOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Alex Smith, SF QB -  Smith has been much maligned throughout his career in the Bay.  Before the season it was thought that Smith would be replaced.  Fast forward 9 weeks and the 49ers are 7-1 and Smith is playing efficient football.  He isn't lighting things up but certainly could be some playoff insurance if you are thin at the QB position.

Worth an add in larger leagues

Donald Brown, Ind RB-  Brown received 16 carries Sunday and parlayed that into 70 yards.  Not spectacular but not horrible either.  Brown has also scored TDs in 2 of his last 4 games.  With Joseph Addai out with his latest ailment look for Brown to continue to get touches for the hapless Colt squad.

Worth an add in larger leagues

Chris Ogbonnaya, Cle RB- Ogbonnaya was horrendous Sunday with just 28 yards on 13 carries, but he is the clear starter in Cleveland for the foreseeable future.  He is also facing the Rams this week who are 30th against the run.  How often can you add an unquestioned starter at RB to your roster with such a juicy matchup???

Worth an add in larger leagues

Chris Ivory NO RB- Ivory seems to a late season bloomer every year.  With Mark Ingram out Ivory toted the rock 15 times for a respectable 67 yards Sunday.  With Ingram still Questionable with a heal ailment Ivory can certainly help a fantasy roster.

Worth an add in larger leagues

Torrey Smith, Bal WR- The roller coaster season for the young wideout seems to be on its way back upwards.  Smith stunned the Stillers with a late game TD grab.  With Lee Evans no where to be seen look for Smith to continue to be the deep threat in BALDYMORE

Worth a look in larger leagues

Jacoby Ford WR- Ford finally put together a solid game Sunday, going over 100 with a TD.  With Palmer still feeling his way Ford could easily become a go to guy.

Continue to monitor

Laurent Robinson, Dal WR - Robinson has been performing very well of late, and now with word that Miles Austin is again out with a hammy we think Robinson is a must add. 

Add in all leagues

Jake Ballard TE NYG - Ballard broke the hearts of chowderheads all around the country Sunday with his late TD.  This continues the fine play from this XL size tight end.  Manning seems to be looking towards Ballard quite often.

Add in all leagues

Jared Cook, Ten TE - Cook has the size, and speed package that most tight ends only dream about.  Problem is he is missing consistency.  He has been playing better of late.

Continue to monitor

WEEK 9 WAIVER WIRE REPORT.......

By Corey Bugenhagen Fantazy Boyz editor in Chief

It seems like going into every week I think there is absolutely no one left available on the waiver wire.  Then every week some new names pop up from out of no where and force their way into our weekly waiver wire report.  We here at Fantasy Boyz Sports like to focus more on the names that might not be very well publicized.  Since we are used to playing in larger leagues (14 man+) with large roster limits the outskirts of the player pool are where we make our money. 

As always we appreciate your support and urge you to hit us up on Twitter at @coreyb3p, @fantasyboyzspor, or @dbystrak

Lance Ball - With Willis McGahee out with a broken hand for what looks like at least 1 more game Ball made the most of his opportunity with 63 yards on only 6 carries.  Adding Ball is really scraping the bottom of the barrel but he is someone to keep an eye on for sure.

Monitor in larger leagues

Kregg Lumpkin - With LaGarette Blount banged up and backup Earnest Graham out for the year Lumpkin is sitting in a very precarious situation.  Blount will most likely return this week but at the very least Lumpkin is the next man in, were he to go down with injury.

Consider adding if you are a Blount owner

Javon Ringer - What the hell is wrong with Chris Johnson?  Are the thousand dollar bills weighing him down?  Either way Ringer is starting to get a shared amount of carries.  He had 14 last week and over 60 yards.  If Johnson doesn't get his shit together we feel Ringer will start winning the share.

Johnson owners should add and monitor him in larger leagues if said Johnson owner hasn't cuffed his 1st round pick

Emmanuel Sanders -  With Hines Ward out Sanders got the start and did not disappoint with 5 Grabs for 70 yards.  Sanders seems to be have the eye of Big Ben on underneath routes.

We feel that Sanders starting gig could stick

Add in larger leagues

John Baldwin - This article was written in the first half of the Monday Night Football.  that was all I needed to see to understand that Baldwin is a special talent that could really be special in the second half IFFFF and that is a big if this chronically bad attitude having young wideout can be a good boy.

Consider adding larger leagues

FANTASY BOYZ BASEBALL PICKUPS OF THE WEEK.........

Don't you start thinking the Fantasy Boyz don't care about their baseball because we do in a major way.  Let us help you bring home your upcoming championship.  Below is a list of some players that could be tolling on your waiver wire that might be that missing piece you need.

1.  Placido Polanco - First the old man had a cranky back, then he pulled his twigs and berries and had to get a hernia surgery.  Word on the street is his jock is healed and he is coming off the DL today.  Prior to these setbacks Placido was an All Star hitman
2. Aubrey Huff - Coming off a World Series win Huff had been more disappointing than a warm Pabst Blue Ribbon, but lately he has been coming around and at just the right time.  He also has dual position eligibility in most leagues.
3. Casper Wells - CASPER WHO you may say????  This guy aint no friendly ghost to opposing pitchers lately, crushing 5 moonshots in his last 8 games.  Grab this guy DAMMIT...
4. Jonathon Sanchez - This wild strikeout artist has broke many fantasy hearts and team ERA's this summer but he is coming off an ankle injury and might be one of the few legitimate starters available.
5. Chris Sale - This lanky fireballer is not first in line for saves on the south side but he is getting the occasional chance to add to his low ERA and high strikeout rate.

Don't end up like this guy.... use our advice....
