Waiver Wire 5

With injuries to Mark Clayton and Jermichael Finley there owners are looking for help in replacing these guys if they already don't have someone on the bench. Here are a few options in case you are still looking for a replacement.


Wide Receivers
              Kenny Britt, Titans: I advised people to pick up Kenny Britt last week and I am doing it again this week because he is more than likely availble in a good amount of leagues. Britt scored for the 3rd straight week. Britt also had 86 yards receiving in the game. With Justin Gage out with injury Britt has run with his chance to get a bigger role in the Titans offense. Britt should be owned in all leagues and is worth a start this week with the Titans going up against the lackluster Jacksonville Jaquars.

               Danny Amendola, Rams: Amendola became Sam Bradford's favorite target when Mark Clayton went down with a season ending knee injury this week. Amendola hauled in 12 passes for 95 yards. Amendola is avaible in almost every league and should be picked up to replace Clayton. Amendola is no more than a WR4 thought that could emerge into a WR3 if him and Bradford can click just like Clayton did.

               Golden Tate, Seahawks: With the trade of Deion Branch back to the Patriots Golden Tate looks to have his role expanded in the offense. Tate is worth a pickup and stashed on benches to see how he does in the coming weeks.

               Deion Branch, Patriots: Deion Branch's best season came with Tom Brady throwing to him. Branch is now back in New England after being traded for a 4th round pick. Branch isn't the same player he was when he was named the Superbowl MVP. But Branch is worth a stash in leagues to see how he is used in the Patriots offense.


Tight Ends

       
               Heath Miller, Steelers: Miller should be picked up in all leagues if he is available. With Ben Roethlisberger returning from his suspension Miller is in store for his numbers to grow. Miller is a good replacement for the owners of Jermichael Finley. Miller is a solid TE1 when Big Ben is at QB for the Steelers.


               Owen Daniels, Texans: Daniels was probably dropped in most  leagues because of his slow start because of an injury he had midseason last year. Daniels had 3 receptions for 45 yards this week. Its his best output so far this year and could mean he is finally close to full speed. Daniels has alot of upside and is worth a stash on benches to see if he can return to old form in the next few weeks.




Running Backs:


                 Donald Brown, Colts: There is a good chance that Brown is on the waiver wire in you league. Brown has been out with an injury but is due back this week. With Joseph Addai injuring his shoulder this week there is a chance that Addai will be held out to get extra rest with the Colts on bye week 7. Brown would be in line for the start if he is good to go. Brown would make a solid RB2 if Addai is out this week.


                 Deji Karim, Jaguars: Karim is mostly a pickup for owners of Maurice Jones-Drew. Karim emerged this week as the handcuff to Jones-Drew. Karim rushed for 70 yards this past week backing up Jones-Drew. If Jones-Drew would go down with injury Karim would be a decent RB2 for fantsay owners.
