Fantasy Football Waiver Wire

Brad Johnson

Waiver Wire - QUARTERBACKS

Things have come full circle for Johnson, who began his career as a backup in Minnesota in '94 and who appears ready to end it that way soon. He probably would be fine for a short stretch in a revamped ball-control Vikings offense, but Johnson's fading arm strength and laggard legs are major constraints. His fantasy days are over in my opinion, but maybe not yours...

Perry used three carries and a team-high six receptions to produce 43 total yards and a touchdown on Sunday against the Packers. Perry's role has been firmly established. He'll get between 10 and 15 touches per game, mostly through the air as a dumpoff valve for Carson Palmer. He has 20 receptions for 113 yards and two touchdowns in the last three games alone

Frank Gore

Gore ran for 40 yards on 10 carries during Sunday's win against Tampa Bay. Gore continues to spell starter Kevan Barlow with 5-10 carries each week. It would not be much of a surprise if Gore were to start receiving more and more carries as the season went on despite Barlow's recent strong play.

Ernest Wilford

Waiver Wire - WIDE RECEIVERS

Head coach Jack Del Rio said on Monday that Wilford has earned himself more playing time in the Jaguars' offense after his break-out 165 yard preformance with a touchdown against the Rams this past weekend, the team's official site reports."He's going to play more. Whether he's the starter or not is less relevant. Byron (Leftwich) is comfortable throwing the ball to him. We're looking for playmakers. I think he's earned that," Del Rio said of Wilford.

Roby caught seven passes for 83 yards with a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Raiders. Roby stepped up in the absence of Drew Bennett and Brandon Jones and could be worth a roll of the dice with the aforementioned duo no lock to play next week.

Antonio Chatman

Braylon Edwards

I love it when a guy speaks up in the NFL. Head coach Romeo Crennel has been working with the rookie receiver on his blocking, but said he needs help. Edwards, on the other hand, did not think his blocking was an issue and said he was ready to start. The suddenly outspoken rookie also called for a change at quarterback, with rookie Charlie Frye replacing veteran Trent Dilfer. Edwards has acknowledged he has good chemistry with Frye.

Muhsin Muhammad

Jerramy Stevens

Waiver Wire - TIGHT ENDS

Jerramy Stevens recorded five receptions for 60 yards in last Sunday's 13-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Look for more of the same from Stevens this week versus Arizona. Hasselbeck looks his way at least 6-7 times per game.

Giants DST

Rob Bironas

Waiver Wire - Kickers

Bironas is a decent Fantasy option for Week 9 at Cleveland, as the Titans might be able to score a few more points against a Browns team which fell to the winless Texans in Week 8.
