Fantasy Football Waiver Wire

Chris Simms

Waiver Wire - QUARTERBACKS

We're leaving Simms up here for one more week. Griese is out for the rest of the season, and Gruden has always spoken highly in general terms of Simms' athleticism and potential, but he had rarely spoken highly of Simms' ability to actually play quarterback in the NFL until after Week 6's game

Waiver Wire - RUNNING BACKS

The Cowboys face an Arizona Cardinals defense that was giving up yards in big chunks to Tennessee’s Chris Brown before he got hurt, so whoever starts at RB for Dallas has nice upside. Acquire Barber in case Julius Jones misses another game.

Chester Taylor

We're leaving Taylor up here. Its only a matter of time before something happens in Baltimore. Jamal Lewis is just not getting it done this year for whatever reasons. 2 weeks ago Taylor had his best game of the year, having rushed for 46 yards and caught four passes for 24 yards against the Lions. In Week 7 Baltimore went up against Chicago's swarming Defense, nothing good happens there.

Tony Fisher

With news that Ahman Green is out for the season, Fisher is now the Packers' top running back. He'll be working behind a shaky line, but any time a running back is thrust into starting role due to an injury, it's worth rolling the dice to see how things pan out.

Attention Edge owners: Rhodes isn't a truly safe play in standard leagues in any week that starter RB Edgerrin James is healthy. But if you need some juice from an unlikely source in a deep league, Rhodes isn't a bad option this week. IF you own Edge and you have the space on your roster I'd suggest owning Rhodes. I don't think the Colts will get away from this pound it down your throat mentality this year.

Antonio Chatman

Mike Williams

With Kevin Johnson out for the season with a ruptured achilles, Williams will move up the depth chart and be a more consistent presence in the Lions offense. Plus, now that Jeff Garcia is at the helm Williams could start producing some nice numbers. If he is a free agent in your league and you could use some help at receiver, Williams is worth a pickup.

Amani Toomer

Bubba Franks

Waiver Wire - TIGHT ENDS

Due to the Robert Ferguson injury, the Packers will likely lean on their tight ends a bit more in the coming weeks. All told, the Green Bay tight ends combined for eight receptions and 90 yards on Sunday against the Vikings. Franks led the group with 38 receiving yards.

Seahawks DST

Paul Edinger

Waiver Wire - Kickers

Edinger is starting to heat up. As is the Minnesoooota offense. With Burleson back and Mewelde Moore gaining confidence expect many more trips into the redzone. Plus I think he proved he can kick the long one. Winning in week 7 over Green Bay with a 56 yard FG.
