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.
