QUARTERBACKS
Here is a list of players that may be available on your league’s waiver wire, in order of relative value:
Tony Romo, David Carr, David Garrard, Alex Smith, Trent Green, Phillip Rivers, Joey Harrington, Chad Pennington, Steve McNair, Matt Leinart, Aaron Brooks, Charlie Frye, Damon Huard, Seneca Wallace, Brad Johnson, Mark Brunell, J.P. Losman, Bruce Gradkowski, Vince Young
Tony Romo was sharp again, throwing for 284 yards and two scores. He has one of the best receiving corps in the league and shouldn’t be on your league’s waiver wire any longer…David Garrard threw for three TD against the Titans, and it doesn’t look like Byron Leftwich will be back anytime soon…Trent Green is inching closer to returning, but Damon Huard is playing well in his place, so the Chiefs are being very careful. Keep an eye on Green’s status this week…Seneca Wallace has played well, but it looks like Matt Hasselbeck will return in Week 11 against San Francisco…Joey Harrington continues to put up decent numbers and it doesn’t look like Daunte Culpepper is coming back anytime soon.
RUNNING BACKS
Wali Lundy, Leon Washington, Mike Bell, Anthony Thomas, Maurice Jones-Drew, Travis Henry, Cedric Benson, DeAngelo Williams, Jerious Norwood, Michael Turner, Brandon Jacobs, Maurice Morris, Najeh Davenport, Justin Fargas
Wali Lundy struggled for 43 yards on 20 carries, but the key is the second number. The team appears to be sold on him as their feature back, so expect lots of 15+ carry games down the stretch, making him a decent #3 RB…Mike Bell rushed 17 times for just 28 yards, but Tatum Bell didn’t get a carry due to a sore toe. Mike will continue to carry the load until Tatum can play, making him a good start against most teams…Anthony Thomas filled in admirably for Willis McGahee, who left the game with a broken rib. McGahee could be out two weeks or more, and if that’s the case, Thomas would become a hot waiver wire pickup…Shaun Alexander should return next week, so Maurice Morris is on borrowed time. Other than tonight’s game, he hasn’t really produced as expected, but the whole Seattle rushing game is down this season due to the loss of Steve Hutchinson.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Chris Henry, Mike Furrey, Mark Clayton, Wes Welker, Devery Henderson, Doug Gabriel, Ernest Wilford, Marty Booker, Jerry Porter, Eric Parker
Chris Henry continues to play well for the Bengals as the team’s third WR, catching two passes for 79 yards against a tough Ravens defense…Mark Clayton has become Steve McNair’s favorite target. Since Week 3, he has 31 catches for 329 yards, an average of 5-55. He also has two scores, but keep in mind both TD catches were off of deflections…Wes Welker caught fewer than four passes for the first time Sunday, but still caught a TD against the Bears. He has been a nice source of catches and has good value in PPR leagues…Devery Henderson went off against the Bucs, catching three passes for 111 yards and two scores. He started this week because Joe Horn was out, so if Horn misses any more time, Henderson could be a productive third WR…Ernest Wilford seems to play better with David Garrard under center. He caught two TD against the Titans and it looks like Garrard will start for the time being.
TIGHT ENDS
Owen Daniels, David Martin, Bo Scaife, Alex Smith, Eric Johnson, Jerramy Stevens, Courtney Anderson
David Martin has quickly become a nice target for Brett Favre and is a decent fill-in type at TE…Bo Scaife caught five passes for 70 yards against the Jags and is one of Vince Young’s favorite targets.
