FANTASY BOYZ WEEK 5 WAIVER PICKUPS........

By Fantasy Boyz Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen






Well your waiver wire is probably picked pretty damn clean by now you should always be on top of who is out there and how they may be able to help your roster.  Below are some players who have been making some plays and might be able to contribute to your team if injuries start creeping in.

Tavaris Jackson - He looked like complete shit in his previous two games before Sunday's matchup, but really put up an All Pro performance.  While we aren't sure he will produce on a consistent level QB pickings are very slim this point.

Worth a look in larger leagues

Doug Baldwin -  Baldwin has quietly produced under the radar in Seattle and appears to be gaining rapport with Tavaris Jackson.  Sunday he had 5 catches for 84 yards, his second game over 80 yards on this young season.

Worth a look in all leagues

Brandon Lafell - Word out of Carolina is that Lafell may take over as the #2 wide out.  While his numbers haven't been earth shattering you would want to monitor Lafell's roster status as Newton is tossing the ball all over the damn place.

Worth a look in all leagues

Kevin Walter - He did NOTHING Sunday but with Andre Johnson going down with what appeared to be a sniper shot to his leg Schaub has to throw to somebody.  Keep an eye on Walter.

Worth a look in all leagues

Jermaine Gresham - The young TE had an acrobatic TD catch this Sunday and appears to be Dalton's #2 target.  We foresee Gresham taking off as Dalton gains EXP.

Worth an add in larger leagues

Kevin Boss - Boss is back and was in business Sunday with 4 grabs for 78 yards.  With Pickings slim at TE Boss is certainly a player that will get chances.

Worth a look in all leagues

FANTASY BOYZ WEEK 4 INJURY UPDATES.....

Submitted by Fantasy Boyz Editor and Chief Corey Bugenhagen 

Listen up people you can't just set your lineup before you head out to drink your sorrows away.  You have to actually pay attention leading up to the games and be ready to pull out one of your stud players.

Beanie Wells (Hammy) - Likely to play but could be limited.  Make sure to take a look closer to game-time.

Daniel Thomas (Hammy) - Officially OUT.  Don't be the dumb ass in your league to play a guy who is listed out on Thursday.

Roddy White (Quad) - This injury seems to be flying under the radar but since I have this son of a bitch in all my leagues I am extra concerned.  He did practice on Friday but on a limited basis.  He should play but do keep an eye out early tomorrow afternoon.

Stevie Johnson (Groin) - Stevie practices in full Friday and is good to go against the Bungles.  Look for a great game.

Peyton Hillis (Sore Throat) - Hillis hit Rite Aid and picked up some Sucrets so he should be set to go this sunday.

Dez Bryant (Thigh) - Bryant was very limited all week in practice.  Even if he does play he is in danger of not even finishing the game.

Tony Romo (Ribs) - Questionable but will play.  Might not have any receivers to throw to though.

Knowshon Moreno (Hammy) - Probable but facing a great rush defense.  Look for better options.

Arian Foster (Hammy) - My God people stretch out these hammys.  Foster should finally be inserted and produce top 5 numbers like where you drafted him.

Marques Colston (Collar bone) - Questionable but Saints are saying he will most likely play.  Probably not his normal amount of snaps however.

Mario Manningham (Concussed) - Likely to play and does have a nice match up.

Hakeem Nicks (Knee) - Will be in lineup and look for this young phenom to produce big numbers.

Mike Vick (Hand) - Turns out the Xrays on Vicks hand were way off.  He went from out for 4 weeks to a must start VS San Fran.

Mike Wallace (Rib) - Wallace is good to go and will be running fly patterns at will Sunday.

Ryan Matthews (Foot) - Practiced in full Friday and he is a go.  Get him in your lineup.

Vincent Jackson (Abdominal) - Not quite as certain as Matthews to play.  Monitor him at game time and be ready to replace him.

Frank Gore (Ankle) - The off injured Gore is going to be really limited even if he does play.  If you have another option roll with it.

Steven Jackson (Quad) - Should get back in the mix this week.  Start accordingly.

FANTASY BOYZ GOT MAIL.......

Every week the Fantasy Boyz dip into their mailbag to answer some of the more important Fantasy questions on your mind.
 
From Chris in Buffalo:
Big Ben @ Houston  Or Cutler VS Carolina?

Big Ben to Wallace all day long in a shootout!  Neither team has a good line, but I just think Ben has better weapons


From Elayas in Sao Paulo Brazil:
It's been three weeks so far and I still can't pick the QB that ends
up with the higher points. Same goes for TE.
This week M.Ryan (@SEA) over J.Flacco (NYJ) is as sure as it gets, right?
How about TE: D.Keller (@BAL) over O.Daniels (PIT)?

Flacco vs Jets?  I hope you know what to do here ( PSSSST.... Stay away from QBs facing the Jets DBs)
Keller vs Daniels? I would go with Keller.  Keller means more to Sanchez then Daniels means to Schaub



From Mike in Boston:
Greg Olson or Fred Davis at TE?

Despite a slow week 3, Fred Davis is the REAL DEAL
Kendall Hunter, Donald Jones or Victor Cruz at Flex? (I am starting
Fitzpatrick over Big Ben)

If Gore is out its Kendal all the way.  If Manningham sits then go with Cruz.  If Gore and Manningham play, go with Donald Jones


From PSUbills62 in Indiana:
I've already got Bernard Scott. I'm looking to drop Reggie Bush and
Mike Sims-Walker and pick up a couple of guys who can really help me
this week. I do have Frank Gore, so Hunter might be a good idea.

I'm looking at:

Kendall Hunter
Ryan Grant (available in our league - seems like maybe a no-brainer,
but he was on the downhill before this week, and now injured) Nate
Washington Denarius Moore Torrey Smith Julio Jones
Who do you suggest?

Kendal Hunter is the safest move with Gore, and Grant has some long term value with his coach saying he will get the ball more..... But if you are looking for help just this week I say Washington.  He is the only WR left, and will become Hasselbecks top target.


 Also

 Jimmy Graham @ Jax or Vernon Davis @ Philly?

VD is an ELITE talent (Go Terps), however I think Grahams match up plus the O he plays in gives him the edge.
