WAIVER WIRED........WEEK 8

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Its that time of the week again as fantasy owners are perusing their waiver wires looking for the answer to their lineup problems.  This weeks Waiver Wired has some decent options as injury and new opportunity has given the spotlight to some young up and coming players as well as some wily old veterans.  

James Skelton - Owned in 2.4% of ESPN Leagues

With Kolb possibly out for the season Skelton could come in handy in a BYE week pinch as he has some weapons at his disposal

Worth a look in larger leagues

LaRod Stevens-Howling - Owned in 10.5% of ESPN Leagues

Stevens-Howling is suddenly a hot commodity as he went over the century mark against the Vikings.  Howling is a shifty runner that could prove useful down the line.

Should be owned in larger leagues

Add this guy before he is gone

Rashad Jennings - Owned in 13.7% of ESPN Leagues

What a difference a week makes as Jennings was sent to the waiver in many leagues Fantasy Wide.  Well time to pick him back up as he is the starter for the foreseeable future.

Should be owned in all leagues

Santana Moss - Owned in 24.9% of ESPN Leagues

The old veteran was back up to his old tricks with 2 TDs.  While he did had a fumble to lose the game it is clear RGIII is looking his way.

Should be owned in larger leagues

Titus Young - Owned in 51.2% of ESPN Leagues

Young has been a disappointment thus far but with Nate Burleson out for the season he will get increased targets.

Worth a look in larger leagues

Kevin Walter - Owned in 2% of ESPN Leagues

 Walter is on a dominant offense and is getting his fair share of targets.  He is producing decent results with those targets.

Worth a look in larger leagues

Dustin Keller - Owned in 16.8% of ESPN Leagues

Keller is such an up and down player but he currently is in an upswing going over 90 yards and a TD in New England and is someone to keep an eye on.

VIEW FROM 122......BILLS VS TITANS

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

Bills fans across the country are still holding their breath after that gut wrenching victory in the desert.  A game in which the Bills had in hand and tried their best to give it away.  Games like this while exciting shouldn't be the norm in Western New York.  Bills fans have grown way to accustomed to this.  The only saving grace here is that the end result is almost always a Buffalo Bills loss, so we are heading in the right direction at least.  Well a new week brings another matchup.  Coming to town are the lowly Tennessee Titans.  While no other team has allowed more points (yes even the Bills) than the Titans, they are coming off a big victory against the Steelers.  Lets take a look at how the Bills will take their record to 4 and 3 on the season in this must win game

ON OFFENSE
I feel like a broken record saying this but Chan Gailey needs to abandon this ridiculous spread offense and RUN THE DAMN BALL!!  Secondly make CJ Spiller the focal point of the offense.  It is obvious to all that Spiller is the better player.  This is absolutely no shot and Freddy by any means as he is still a great player in his own right.  With that said enough with this 50-50 split.  Feed Spiller the ball early and often.  Work in Freddy for the tough inside running and the Bills are in business.  Don't put the game in the hands of Ryan Fitzpatrick.  Fitz showed again last week that he would be an MVP candidate if the bills employed 9 foot tall wide receivers.  Run the ball down their throats and then run it some more.  In this scenario Fitzpatrick could actually succeed.  The Bills don't need high yardage days out of Fitz as those days, while they do produce TDs also come along with league leads in interceptions.  If both Spiller and Jackson have 15+ carries Sunday I like the Bill's chances of victory.

ON DEFENSE

BYRD IS THE WORD

Finally in Arizona the defense awoke from their slumbers and came to play.  Mario's wrist wasn't a talking point and Kevin Kolb left the game seeing stars.  More of the same is needed this week as Geriatric Matt Hasslebeck comes to town.  The front 4 needs to do their thing and get in his face early and often.  The move to starter for Nigel Bradham is huge for this team as he is bigger, faster, and has more of a feel for the Outside Linebacker spot over Arthur Moats.  The Bills need that out of their linebackers.  Look for Bradham, Sheppard, and Barnett to be all over Chris Johnson.  The improved play of the front four will leave them free to target the CJNOK all day long.  Coming off his Defensive player of the week award Jarius Byrd will be spying the weak armed Hasslebeck all game long.  Expect at least 1 pick for Byrd.

OUTLOOK
Momentum is in the Bills favor this week and coming home after an extended road trip is just what the doctor ordered.  We like this match-up for the Bills as they desperately need to win this game to get over the 500 mark before a dreaded 2 game span against the Pats and Texans.  We predict this will happen in a big way Sunday to the tune of a 28-13 Bills Victory

WEEK 7 RANKINGS

By FANTASYBOYZ Editor in Chief Corey Bugenhagen

The temperature is dipping and the leaves are changing colors.  This is make or break time for owners fantasy wide.  This is also the first week that brings us 6 teams on a BYE.  This means that pickings are slim on not only your bench but on the free agent wire.  With that said there are still many options out there for you.  Players like Andy Dalton and Andrew Luck are going to draw big starts on many rosters.  Make sure to consult our weekly match-up rankings to get through this tough time.

BYES: Atlanta,Denver,Kansas City,Miami,Philadelphia,San Diego
