Every week, I highlight a few players that you should target in waivers. I use the ESPN league data when filtering players, so the only players eligible for discussion here are those that are available on the waiver wire of at least 50% of ESPN’s leagues. I’ll list each player’s percentage-owned after their name so you have an idea of how available they are in leagues around the country. I’ll always try to mention a few players that are available in 90% of leagues for those of you in 12-team leagues or leagues with big rosters. I’ll rank them in the order I’d pick them up in a league with a high-performance, PPR scoring system.

Please note that these rankings are for total value through the end of the year. Players with particularly good matchups this week are in bold.

Trent Edwards is available in 57% of ESPN leagues, so if he’s out there, pick him up first before moving onto the rest of the list…

Mark Sanchez (31.5)
The rookie has looked solid in his first two games and fared pretty well against a pretty tough New England defense last week.
Byron Leftwich (4.9)
The Bucs propensity to trail keeps Leftwich throwing a ton throughout the game.
Shaun Hill (10.9)
His defense and running game might prevent him from fulfilling his sleeper status this season.
Chad Pennington (24.6)
Kerry Collins (10.5)
If the Titans’ poor pass defense keeps up, they’ll have to keep throwing in the second half.
Jake Delhomme (26.1)
JaMarcus Russell (10.4)
Marc Bulger (2.8)
Kevin Kolb (0.3)
Has KC this week, so if McNabb doesn’t play, he’s a viable fantasy start.
Jason Campbell (21.9)

Mike Bell (42.3)
Injured his knee, and is “probably” out for Week 3, though he’ll have a role when he gets back.
Michael Bush (22.8)
Bush will become a RB2 if Darren McFadden were to go down. As it stands, he’s a bye-week/flex fill-in.
Justin Forsett (0.6)
Produced 92 yards on 11 touches and outplayed Julius Jones in Week 2.
Glen Coffee (37.7)
Coffee’s stock would skyrocket if Frank Gore’s ankle causes him to miss time.
Rashard Mendenhall (47.0)
Showed nice burst on a 39-yard scamper against the Bears.
Laurence Maroney (24.1)
Correll Buckhalter (17.2)
Kevin Faulk (10.0)

Steve Smith (25.3)
Mario Manningham (5.4)
Laurent Robinson (1.4)
11-141-1 hrough two weeks. He’s the Rams’ WR1.
Johnny Knox (0.9)
The burner was 6-70-1 versus the Steelers and there’s lots of opportunity for playing time in the Bears’ suspect receiving corps.
Devery Henderson (44.1)
Chansi Stuckey (7.9)
Nate Burleson (28.4)
Louis Murphy (7.8)
As a rookie playing with JaMarcus Russell, Murphy is going to have his ups and downs, but he looked great against the Chargers in Week 1 and was targeted seven times in Week 2.
Mike Sims-Walker (1.1)
Killed in garbage time to the tune of 6-106-1. If he can stay healthy, he can be productive for the Jags.
Nate Washington (13.8)
Pierre Garcon (0.7)
Had a great catch and run for a long TD against the Dolphins, but it was his only reception of the night.
Davone Bess (1.5)
Bess is a nice guy to have in PPR leagues.
Chris Henry (26.2)
Caught only one pass on Sunday, but it was for a TD.
Brandon Stokley (3.4)
Who knows what’s going on in Denver. Marshall and Royal are there, but Stokley seems to be Kyle Orton’s favorite target.
Muhsin Muhammad (44.6)
Isaac Bruce (17.0)
Antwaan Randle El (15.6)
Bobby Wade (0.2)
6-72 makes me wonder if he’s already the Chiefs’ WR2.
Earl Bennett (26.7)
Kelley Washington (0.1)
7-101-1 through two games, though he’ll probably be spotty given the Ravens’ strong running game.
Austin Collie (0.8)
Michael Jenkins (13.4)
Mark Clayton (18.6)
Michael Clayton (3.6)
Kenny Britt (12.2)
Jason Avant (0.6)

Heath Miller (22.5)
Brent Celek (17.7)
Todd Heap (21.0)
Ben Watson (22.2)
Vernon Davis (10.1)
Jermichael Finley (6.9)
Marcedes Lewis (1.2)
He has caught three passes in each of the first two games.
