NFL Week 16 Fantasy Football Tips

This is our waiver wire pick-ups column. The WagerOnFootball.com staff will scour the free agent pools in fantasy land for the best available talent every week. Availability, of course, depends on the league. We’re using 12 team, 16 roster spot leagues as the median, but we’ll look for roster candidates for leagues of all shapes and sizes. Grab the following before NFL Week 16.

Team	NFL WEEK 16 FANTASY FOOTBALL WAIVER WIRE
1. Tim Rattay	Waiver Wire - QUARTERBACKS Tampa Bay Coach Jon Gruden named QB Tim Rattay the starter for Week 16 against Cleveland. Rattay replaced rookie Bruce Gradkowski on Sunday against Chicago and threw for 268 yards and three fourth-quarter touchdowns. Rattay could be worth adding for Week 16 against Cleveland as a sleeper.
2. J.P. Losman	Waiver Wire - QB'S Buffalo QB J.P. Losman was 13-of-19 passing for three touchdowns and no interceptions against Miami. He also had two carries for 11 yards and lost a fumble. Consider Losman a No. 2 QB for Week 16 against Tennessee.
1. Ron Dayne	Waiver Wire - RUNNING BACKS Texans RB Ron Dayne had 18 carries for 94 yards and a touchdown (1-yard run) in a Week 15 loss to the Patriots. Dayne has now been the guy to carry the load the past three weeks for the Texans. He has more than 85 yards in all three games and has three touchdowns.
2. Michael Turner	Waiver Wire - RB's Turner the Burner is not a recommended Fantasy play unless LaDainian Tomlinson suffers a long-term injury. The Chargers play at Seattle in Week 16. Michael Turner carried seven times for 58 yards in Week 15 against Kansas City.
3. Mike Alstott	Waiver Wire - RB's Bucs RB Mike Alstott had six carries for 26 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown run. Despite the score, Alstott is not a recommended Fantasy option for 16 at Cleveland.
4. Kevin Faulk	Waiver Wire - RB's Patriots RB Kevin Faulk had four carries for 22 yards and a touchdown (11-yard run) in a Week 15 win over the Texans. He also had two catches for 46 yards and a touchdown. Despite the two touchdowns, Faulk is not a recommended Fantasy option for Week 16 at Jacksonville.
5. Mewelde Moore	Waiver Wire - RB's Vikings RB Mewelde Moore had five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown against the Jets. Moore is the third-down back for the Vikings, so his Fantasy value is minimal.
6. Ladell Betts	Waiver Wire - RB's This week at St. Louis, consider Betts a low-end No. 1 Fantasy RB as the Rams run defense has been porous over the last three months.
1. Joe Jurevicius	Waiver Wire - WIDE RECEIVERS Jurevicius is another Browns receiver benefiting from the solid play of QB Derek Anderson. Consider him a No. 3 or No. 4 Fantasy WR for Week 16 vs. Tampa Bay.
2. Ron Curry	Waiver Wire - WR's Ronald Curry started in Week 15 against the Rams in place of the injured Randy Moss (ankle) and he finished with nine receptions for 87 yards. He has 17 receptions for 186 yards and a touchdown in the past two games.
3.DJ Hackett	Waiver Wire - WR's Hackett has 191 receiving yards and a touchdown over the past two games. He is a decent No. 3 or 4 Fantasy receiver or 'flex' option for Week 16 against the Chargers
1. Vernon Davis	Waiver Wire - TIGHT ENDS Davis had three catches for just 15 yards in Week 15 at Seattle, but he was able to score a touchdown in the surprising 24-14 win. Davis is a decent play in most Fantasy leagues for Week 16 against Arizona.
1. Bills Defense/ST	Waiver Wire - DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS The Bills DST shutout the Dolphins 21-0 with one sack and two interceptions. Consider the Bills DST a low-end No. 1 option for Week 16 against Tennessee and use all regular IDP players as needed. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
