TheFFBI's Most Wanted: Week 9 Waiver Wire Pick Ups

There is not a whole lot of new players to talk about after this weekend's games.  I suggest you take a look at last week's waiver wire article.  Most of the player's I wrote about built on their success and are still viable pick ups. 

 

Running Backs

1.  Joique Bell/Kevin Smith Det - Bell has seen significant work in the past 5 weeks.  Being a timeshare guy on a bad running team doesn't amount to much value.  But, the reason I am writing about Bell and Smith, is the fact that Mikel Leshoure looked like he may have sustained some type of injury in last week's game.  The Lions typically don't reveal much injury information, unless they absolutely have to.  If Leshoure was injured this week, or falls to injury in the upcoming weeks, both Smith and Bell would have more value. Leshoure is a year removed from an achilles injury, and has got his share of nicks and bruises in his return.
2. Daniel Thomas Mia - Thomas is more than likely owned in your league.  If he is still out there you should grab him.  Thomas got one more carry than Reggie Bush did this week!  Thomas also got the TD when the Dolphins got in close.  Part of this may have been due to the fact that Miami had built such a large lead, but Thomas has been a goal line factor for some time now.  If the injury prone Bush were to go down, Thomas would be a low end RB2.
3. Jacquizz Rodgers Atl - Rodgers is also more than likely owned, but you never know who will get dropped when bye weeks come.  Rodgers' 13 touches totaled 80 yards this past week, due largely to a big 43 yard run.  Turner on the other hand, totaled only 58 yards on 24 carries, a 2.4 YPC average.  The Falcons may make this situation more of a 50-50 time share in the near future.

 

Wide Receivers

1. Cecil Shorts Jac - Shorts started out the season as just a deep shot WR.  Now, in his last two games, he has 22 targets and 12 catches.  I think Shorts has turned into an interesting low end WR3.  He is one of the only Jaguars WRs that is making plays, and is developing some chemistry with Gabbert.
2. Ryan Broyles Det - Broyles is a good add for deeper leagues, or if you are desperate for WR help.  Broyles isn't getting a whole lot of looks, yet.  But, he does have a TD in each of the last two weeks and this Lion's offense can support 3 WRs, if it has indeed returned to form.

 

 

Tight Ends

1. Tony Moeaki KC - Moeaki saw his most targets of the season this past Sunday; catching 4 passes for 57 yards on 8 targets.  If you are real desperate for TE help, you can stash him and hope he gets back to his 2010 form.
