Sorry I'm late with this, but let's dive in.
Before I get into those waiver guys and trade targets, I wanted to share this with everyone. One of my favorite players this year is Michael Turner. Here are a just a few highlights from this week's games. He can't be stopped.
Now let's move onto the wire and see who to grab.
Brady Quinn QB CLE - I think Derek Anderson has one week to hold onto his starting job in CLE. He does has a nice match up vs CIN this week, but if he can't get it done, look for Quinn to get his shot. There are plenty of weapons in CLE, so Quinn could develop quickly and give you a sleeper QB off the wire.
Pierre Thomas RB NO - He shouldn't be available, but he is in some leagues. With 2 more TDs this week, it's clear that the Duece is not loose in NO. Reggie Bush gets most of the work, but Thomas is in there when it counts. With NO losing yet another target for Drew Brees this week with Shockey getting hurt, look for them to pound it a little more this week vs SF. We also know how easily Bush could go down with an injury and Thomas showed at the end of last year what he could do with a full work load.
Le'Ron McClain RB BAL - This was supposed to be Ray Rice coming out of the preseason and stealing McGahee's carries, but something happened and his name is Le'Ron. This looks like a full blown committee now in BAL and McClain looks to be the goal line back. McGahee still isn't 100%, so grab McClain and plug him in if McGahee misses time or even if he doesn't. He could be a solid flex option, especially in TD heavy leagues.
Antonio Bryant WR TBY - I'm a little sceptical after this week's break out by Bryant. Brian Griese was throwing all over the field to the tune of 67 attempts. Bryant caught 10 of those and did show an ability to get first downs, but you know Gruden wants to run the ball and I don't see Griese matching those passing numbers over the next 3 weeks combined. He still as value as long as Joey Galloway is out, but I wouldn't expect this production week in and week out.
Brandon Lloyd WR CHI - We thought this would be Devin Hester coming into the season, but with Kyle Orton behind center, Lloyd has emerged as the #1 WR in CHI. Now, the #1 WR in CHI isn't a great option, but I could see solid #3 WR numbers the rest of the way. He's always had the potential to be a star and maybe, just maybe he's finally fulfilling that potential.
Anthony Fasano TE MIA - After taking week 2 off, Fasano was back in the spot light in week 3. Ronnie Brown was the stud of the week and one of his TDs was a pass to Fasano. I'm not sure how many more of those will happen this year, but you can bet that Chad Pennington will be looking his way in the end zone when Ronnie isn't running them in.
Buy low
Matt Hasselbeck QB SEA - What do you expect out of your QB when all of your WRs are hurt? Not much and that's what we've gotten from Matt. Bobby Engram and Deion Branch are expected back after the bye week. Now's the time to trade for Hasselbeck and have a stud for the 2nd half.
Braylon Edwards WR CLE - It can't be this bad, right? If CLE doesn't break out of their funk this week vs CIN, we could see major changes in CLE, including at QB. I still think Edwards is top 5 WR and if he can hang onto the ball, he'll deliver those numbers this week. See if you can acquire this star before this week's game.
Santonio Holmes WR PIT - Another top WR who has yet to put it together, it might be another week before Holmes puts up the numbers you'd expect. PIT faces BAL this week and without Willie Parker, you know the Ravens will be licking their chops, especially after what PHI did to PIT this week. I'd still target Holmes, but his price might be even lower next week.
Steve Slaton RB HOU - He busted out big time this week as HOU finally gave him the starting job. Some might view him as a one-week wonder, but his numbers came against a very tough TEN D. With Ahman Green out of the picture the job is his for the taking. He should deliver solid #2 RB production with upside.
Sell high
Randy Moss WR NE - Here he is again. I'm just really worried that Cassel isn't going to get him the ball and when they start losing Moss might start fading into the shadows, ala his time in OAK. I don't think it'll be that bad, but I don't see him as a top 5 WR anymore. If you can get equal value from one of my buy low guys, I'd considering it.
